Mara Events organises a wide range of events, including weddings, conferences and seminars, product launches, award ceremonies, VIP dinners, birthdays and anniversaries, baby showers, and cultural and community celebrations. Our goal is to create meaningful experiences for every attendee.

How much does event planning cost in Nigeria?

Most of the cost is the event itself: venue, catering, AV, décor and logistics. Typical all-in budgets for corporate events in Nigeria:

EventGuestsTypical budget
Small corporate meeting30 to 50₦500K to ₦1.5M
Mid-size conference100 to 200₦3M to ₦8M
Large annual conference or gala300 to 500₦10M to ₦25M
Premium summit or product launch500+₦25M+

Planning fee: event management usually costs 10 to 20% of the total budget, or a flat fee for simpler events. On a ₦5M event, that's about ₦500K to ₦1M. Set aside another 10 to 15% as contingency for fuel surcharges, extra catering and last-minute changes.

Weddings and private celebrations are priced to your guest list, venue and style. Pick a budget band in the booking form and we'll send a tailored quote, or read the full breakdown in How Much Does It Really Cost to Plan a Corporate Event in Nigeria?
