“This is great data but I wonder.... We say the average Ghanaian wedding, as in, of all the people doing a wedding in Ghana? The vendors that were surveyed are the elite vendors or is the sample a wide range? Is this data about Cantonments weddings or have we considered weddings in Kasoa, Sefwi, Bolgatanga?”

“First off…that’s one well-edited video! Insightful, but the data feels skewed. Anybody in the 250k budget is not doing an average Ghanaian wedding. Nii Noi Lamptey in Jamestown is not using a wedding planner or getting his bride a gown over 20k. He’s not using a wedding coordinator (when he has cousins who would carry chairs and fix a tent for him). I’m just saying, that’s not your average wedding. But hey love the video👌.”
Kenneth______sk said:
“It’s more than that actually. There is the traditional wedding part of it, which averages about the same cost as the main wedding depending on the number of guests.”
