Traditional Wedding Services

Heritage, celebrated your way.

Make it yours.

Ethiopian weddings are shaped by diverse communities, faiths and family traditions. This category offers starting points for conversations about what you would like to honour and how those moments fit into your celebration.

Practices such as telosh, melse gatherings and coffee ceremonies vary between families. Begin with the people closest to you, and work with providers who listen carefully rather than assuming one format suits everyone.
