Wedding chaos as event planner stops bride from going to venue over unpaid fees
Drama broke out on a bride’s wedding day after an event planner reportedly stopped her from heading to the church over unpaid fees.
Event planner blocks bride from attending wedding
According to reports, the bride was already dressed and set to leave for the venue when the event planner refused to let her go, insisting that she had not been paid.
Eyewitnesses said several men at the scene pleaded with the planner to allow the bride go to church first, promising that payment would be made afterwards. However, the planner stood her ground.
“You no dey argue well. My canopy, the event, decorations and wedding cloth. She no go go anywhere! That means I’m the one doing the wedding for her,” the planner was heard saying in the viral video.
The confrontation caused delays as the bride appeared visibly distressed while negotiations continued.
The incident has since sparked widespread reactions online, with many debating whether the planner was right to insist on payment before the ceremony or wrong to disrupt a wedding over money.
Netizens react

@themmy_layo said: “This is an embarrassing moment anyone should not experience. The event planner stood on business. I’m sure there was an agreement that was bypassed.”
@adetayo003 commented: “Collect your money oh, she won’t pay after wedding. Why can’t people organise what they can afford?”
@aaaadunni added: “Better pay up ”
The viral incident has reignited conversations around wedding planning, payment agreements, and accountability between clients and vendors.
