Les Gardiens des Traditions — Customary ceremonies run with the families
About Les Gardiens des Traditions
Les Gardiens des Traditions is based in Dakar and has 3 years of experience with weddings, engagements and baptisms. A specialist who knows the customs of both families prepares the dot, knocking or wine-carrying ceremony, gathers the ceremony items and speaks for the families when tradition asks for it.
Every booking starts with a call about your date, your guests and your budget, and a written, itemised quote follows within 48 hours. Prices start from 300,000 XOF.
We work in French and English. Popular dates go months ahead, so it is worth asking early; sending a request is free.

Our planner recommended them and she was right.
Calm, reliable and easy to reach the whole week before the event.
Great value and a team that clearly loves what it does.

Frequently asked
Which traditions do you know?

Do you work outside Dakar?
Yes. Within 75 km there is no travel fee; further away we add travel to the quote.
