About Teranga Traditions

Teranga Traditions is based in Dakar and has 6 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 72 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.

Frequently asked

Which traditions do you know?

The ones listed on this profile, and we work with a partner for others. Mixed ceremonies are common.

Can you help two families agree?

Yes. We meet each family first, then together, so the order of the day suits both.

Do you work outside Dakar?

Yes. Within 100 km there is no travel fee; further away we add travel to the quote.
