Traditional Somali weddings include several key events, each rich in cultural significance. It begins with Doonid (proposal), followed by Mehr (dowry agreement). The main wedding events include Aroos (wedding ceremony) and Aqal Gal (homecoming). Afterwards, there’s Todobo Bax (a seven-day celebration) and the grand Xaflada Todobo Baxa (final party), bringing families and friends together to celebrate the union.
The cost of a Somali wedding depends on factors like the number of guests, venue, and scale of the events. On average, it can range from £20k to £50k or more, covering expenses like catering, decorations, and traditional ceremonies. Riwaya’s Somali wedding planner can help you stay on budget by tracking costs for each event.
Somali weddings feature unique rituals that highlight their rich culture. These include Mehr (agreeing on the dowry), Aqal Gal (welcoming the couple into their new home), and Todobo Bax, where the bride visits her family for seven days. These rituals symbolise love, respect, and unity between the families.
Riwaya’s Somali wedding planner simplifies the process by providing customisable checklists for every event tailored to your cultural traditions, from Doonid to Xaflada Todobo Baxa. It helps you track your budget, manage guest lists, and ensure all traditions are seamlessly planned. With this planner, you can focus on enjoying your big day without the stress.
