We love celebrating weddings here at BellaNaija and just like our faithful readers we can’t wait for this event.

After months of growth and expansion since their launch in July 2011, WED Magazine, Nigeria’s foremost wedding go-to magazine presents the maiden edition of WED Awards.

This event heralds the first time Nigerian Wedding entrepreneurs would be recognized for their contributions in the wedding Industry. Speaking on the invitation only awards, Akin Eso, the Publisher of WED Magazine commented: “The wedding industry has grown over the years with professionals that have put smiles on couples’ faces. It is high time we recognized excellence.

WED Magazine, apart from being a rich and classy periodical tailored to meet every wedding need, is also the convener of Nigeria’s largest wedding exhibition. The WED Expo made it’s debut in March 2012 and was attended by engaged couples, stakeholders and the general public to learn all there is to know about weddings, receptions and more. The organizers are set to host a bigger and better exhibition this March 2013.

Date: Friday 22nd march 2013
Venue: Landmark Village, Oniru, Victoria Island, Lagos.
