A Nigerian bride has cried out after an event decorator allegedly failed to show up at her wedding despite receiving N300,000 for the service.
The bride said she hired the decorator, EventByMuse, after finding her on Instagram and agreed to pay N300,000 for the decoration of her wedding venue.
According to her, she initially paid N150,000 before completing the payment with another N150,000.
Bride recounts ordeal
The bride said the decorator was expected to arrive at the venue in the morning but did not show up.
She claimed that several calls and messages sent to the decorator were unanswered, leaving her distressed on what was supposed to be one of the happiest days of her life.
The bride said the absence of the decorator meant that her wedding venue was left without the decoration she had paid for.
She said her guests eventually had to step in and improvise to make the venue presentable.
The bride also alleged that the decorator collected N5,000 from each person for their tables but still failed to appear at the event.
Expressing her frustration in a video shared on social media, she said:
“I didn’t get her call. I was typing her. I was calling her. She did not come. This made my day like very very bad. Like I feel so terrible right now.”
She added:
“Like no decoration, no decoration at all.”
The bride subsequently shared screenshots of her conversations and payment details, asking social media users to assess the situation.
She also questioned whether it was acceptable for the decorator to collect the agreed payment and additional charges for tables without showing up to provide the service.
The allegations have sparked reactions online, with social media users expressing sympathy for the bride and calling for the decorator to explain what happened.
