Anyone can plan an event. Not everyone can create an experience.In this episode, Ada and Tola sit down with Seyi Olaniyan, the events guy and brand builder, for an honest conversation about what it actually means to engineer a feeling rather than just fill a room. They get into the thinking that happens before a single vendor is booked, why most events look beautiful and feel empty, and how the best experiences are never accidental.Seyi also shines a light on one of the most overlooked corners of the industry, creating team bonding experiences for everyday working professionals. He believes that how a team feels together outside the office directly affects how they work together inside it and he is on a mission to make Nigerian companies pay attention to that. If you have ever left an event feeling like something was missing but could not put your finger on what it was, Seyi will give you the language for it in this episode.On our Event Police segment, we discuss your event frustrations and dilemmas, if you have a frustration of your own, share with on [email protected] or fill this form https://forms.gle/VUTJSPn9ShShDJ1fA Do not forget to follow us, we’re  @EventGirlsPod  everywhere.

Everyone at your event has a phone. But in this instance, only two people are being paid to capture it and they are not doing the same job.

In this episode, Ada and Tola sit down with Big View and B Shot It, a photographer and a content creator, for the conversation the Nigerian events industry has been having in whispers but never out loud. They get into what each role actually delivers, why clients keep confusing the two, and what it really means to show up to an event with a creative vision rather than just a camera. Because behind every viral moment and every stunning photograph is an intentional process that most clients never see. The thinking, the framing, the decision making that happens before a single shot is taken.

They also talk about how trends have changed the way both crafts are consumed, why virality is never an accident, and what separates work that lasts from work that just performs well for 48 hours. Plus the one thing every client gets wrong before they even make a booking.

If you have ever hired a photographer and wondered why your photos did not look like what you saw on Instagram, or booked a content creator and realised too late what was missing, this episode is the one you needed before you made that decision.

Nigerian weddings have always been an event. But somewhere between the owambe of the 90s and the productions of today, something shifted — and not everyone is talking about it honestly.

In this episode, Ada and Tola sit down with Becca and Tofa, who take us through the beautiful, the personal, and the unfiltered details of their own wedding experiences. From standing their ground on what they truly wanted against family expectations, to the fashion choices they prioritised, the fine details nobody talks about, and yes — one story about a guest who turned out to be something else entirely. They also get into how wedding planning has evolved, what has been lost, and what today's couples are doing differently.

If you have ever planned a wedding, attended one, or thought about what yours would look like — this conversation will feel very familiar.
