Whitney with Bozoma
LIFESTYLE COACH Nancy Adobea Anane, popularly known as Ms. Nancy, has applauded Whitney Boakye-Mensah, Managing Partner at Innorvations Events WBM, and team for planning the traditional wedding ceremony of Marketing Executive Bozoma Afiba Mamekyi Saint John-Watson.
Speaking on the Afternoon Show, Ms. Nancy commended the event planning team behind the wedding, particularly Whitney Boakye-Mensah, for a dedicated effort to graciously present Ghana to the world through very intricate traditional decoration.
Ms. Nancy was impressed with the décor, describing it as distinctly Ghanaian, saying, “Oh God, the décor. This is excellently done. You can separate a good décor from a great décor. The theme running through — guests were asked to wear Kente and you see that the décor has the Adinkra symbols all over. It was so Ghanaian.
“At the sight of one video or picture, you should just know that this is Ghana and nowhere else. You are not even going to wonder where this is.
“The men turned up, the women did, the various kinds and types of Kente — they outdid themselves, and I am so proud. And the world will get to see this. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills were there and they were donned in the Kente.”
She also revealed a detail about the organisation that impressed her. “Do you know what I found out? I found out that there was a standby tailor handling any emergency. So if, for instance, you were wearing something small or something came out, they will immediately fix you.”
“I must applaud Whitney and the team for what they bid. Very beautiful designs and decoration. Whitney Boakye-Mensah outdid herself, she and the team that organised this,” she stated.
She added, “I realised this was an effort to project Ghana as a nation, to project our traditions as Africans and also as Akans. The young lady is from the Central Region, she is Ghanaian by birth, but she is huge in America. And on a special day like this, she decided she wants to bring it home. She wants the people that know her, respect her and love her to know her people and her roots. And she did sell Ghana. It was marketing and a sales event.”
