The Ivory Ballroom
The Ivory Ballroom — Exceptional event spaces
For 5 years The Ivory Ballroom has been hosting celebrations in and around Lagos, working at every scale from a family gathering in a courtyard to six-hundred-guest receptions. The space works as one room or three, and the layout is set around your guest count rather than a fixed plan. Nothing is templated, because no two celebrations want the same thing.
A site visit covers capacity, catering access, parking and the noise curfew. What you book includes a walkthrough, a floor plan and a run sheet agreed before the day. The plan is written down and shared, so you, your other suppliers and the venue are working from the same document — which is what stops the small things going wrong when the day gets busy.
Based in Lagos and travels nationwide, The Ivory Ballroom works in fr / en, with bookings from 5 000 000 NGN. Send the date and a rough outline and a written, itemised quote comes back within 6h. Peak-season Saturdays are usually taken four to six months in advance, so it is worth asking early — and there is no charge until you accept.

We changed the plan twice in the last month and it was never a problem. Calm, organised and completely reliable.
Answered every question quickly in the run-up, and on the day just quietly got on with it. The difference was obvious.
Booking was straightforward and the written quote matched the final invoice exactly. No surprises, which is all you want.
Blended everything so smoothly that nobody sat down all night. Several guests asked us for the contact before they left.
Flawless for our 400-person gala — polished, punctual and genuinely easy to work with. Would book again without hesitating.
Read the room perfectly and kept our guests going right through the last song. Everything ran to time and we never had to chase anything.
Communication was excellent throughout and the result exceeded what we had pictured. Recommended without reservation.
Turned a difficult venue into something that actually worked. Clearly knew the space better than we did.
