The Glasshouse Celebrations
Every celebration, hosted with care
From the Kamu evening to the Walima dinner, from introductions to white weddings, we have hosted Kano families for twelve years and we listen before we plan.

Kamu
Kamu and henna evenings
The Palm Courtyard becomes a lantern-lit room for the bride, her friends and her family. Low seating, a henna corner, soft music and a private bridal suite next door.
We keep the courtyard gate closed to everyone but your guest list, and our ushers on the night are women.

Fatiha and Walima
For the Walima dinner, the Glass Hall can be divided by fabric partitions for separate seating, with the high table on the dividing line so both sides can see the couple.
We set aside a quiet room for prayer, and pause the music at prayer times on request.

White weddings
A ceremony arch on the Rose Lawn, photographs in the golden hour, and a reception under glass the same afternoon. Your officiant and choir are welcome; we provide the sound and the chairs.
