The function room, set for the wedding dinner and the buraanbur.
The coffee corner where Somali coffee is brewed with cardamom.
The small garden behind the hall, used for photos.
The private room where the bride prepares.
“The moment the qaxwo was poured from its own corner, all our guests knew the celebration was really starting, exactly as Hodan had described. The buraanbur she arranged was the highlight of the evening.”
“The bariis iskukaris with clove and cinnamon tasted exactly like my mother's. We also added the camel meat for the traditional feast menu.”
“The all-female service team meant my mother and aunts felt completely at ease during the preparation. The small garden behind the hall was nice for quieter photos.”
“The hall is compact, we had 105 guests which is near the top of the range, and it felt full but cosy. Hodan replied within two days and thought carefully about the layout.”
“No alcohol, but fresh tea flowed all evening, exactly what our family expected. The private room where the bride prepared was small but calm.”
