Luxury Wedding & Event Planning in Dar es Salaam

Dar es Salaam is our home — and the stage for many of our most ambitious celebrations.

As Dar es Salaam's leading wedding planner and event planner, we design and produce celebrations across the city's finest venues.

As Tanzania's leading luxury event designer, Kevins Events plans, designs and produces weddings, galas and private events across the city's finest hotels, gardens and private venues. From grand ballroom weddings to oceanfront garden receptions, Dar offers a remarkable range of settings — and we know how to make each one extraordinary.

Venues transformed

We have reimagined venues such as Johari Rotana, Serena Hotel, White Sands Resort and Mlimani City into fully realised worlds — layered lighting, architectural florals, suspended installations and reflective surfaces that leave guests unable to recognise the space they walked into. Being based in Dar means our full team, workshop and production resources are on hand for every project, whether an intimate celebration or a wedding for a thousand guests.

Designed around people

The most memorable city celebrations are designed around people and atmosphere. Considered guest flow, layered lighting and a cohesive design narrative turn a familiar venue into an experience guests remember long after the night ends.

Weddings, birthdays, galas and corporate events

Kevins Events is a full-service event planner in Dar es Salaam — a wedding planner, a birthday planner and a corporate party planner in one team. Alongside weddings we design and produce milestone birthday parties, anniversaries, engagement parties and send-offs, as well as corporate galas, awards evenings, brand launches and conferences for clients across Tanzania.

Our birthday and private-party work is some of our most creative: fully themed worlds, custom-built installations, layered lighting and choreographed guest experiences. Whatever you are searching for — a luxury wedding planner, a birthday planner or a gala producer in Dar es Salaam — the standard of design and production is the same.

Dar es Salaam Wedding & Event FAQs

Who is the best wedding planner in Dar es Salaam?

Kevins Events is Tanzania's leading luxury wedding and event designer, based at Renaissance Plaza in Dar es Salaam. Led by Kevin — a Forbes 30 Under 30 Africa nominee with over 10 years' experience and 300+ events produced — we have designed weddings at Johari Rotana, Serena Hotel, White Sands Resort and Mlimani City.

Do you plan birthday parties in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. Alongside weddings we design and produce milestone birthday parties, anniversaries, engagement parties and send-offs in Dar es Salaam — fully themed, with custom installations, layered lighting and choreographed guest experiences.

Do you plan corporate events and galas?

Yes. We produce corporate galas, awards evenings, brand launches and conferences for clients across Tanzania, with the same design and production standard as our weddings.

How much does a wedding or event in Dar es Salaam cost?

There is no fixed rate card — pricing depends on the nature of the event, guest numbers and how much of the experience is designed and produced. Our celebrations begin from around 15 million TZS (just under USD 6,000) and scale from there. Kevin discusses the investment with you personally at consultation.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking 3 to 12 months in advance for weddings and large events. Shorter timelines can sometimes be accommodated depending on availability, as we intentionally limit the number of events we take on each year.

Which venues do you work with in Dar es Salaam?

We work across the city's finest hotels, gardens and private venues — including Johari Rotana, Serena Hotel, White Sands Resort and Mlimani City — as well as private residences and bespoke marquee builds. We are not tied to any single venue, so we recommend the setting that genuinely suits your celebration.
