Nyom Profile

Who We Are

‘Nyom’ is a Luo word for marriage. The Luo ethnicity is part of the ancient Nilotics who migrated into East Africa several hundred years ago from Ethiopia.

They occupied most of Western Kenya, Northern Tanzania, Eastern and Nothern Uganda as well as most of South Sudan.

Since time immemorial the Luo have been known for their animated marriage traditions most notably the Ayie ('I agree') or Ayie Keny (‘I agree to marriage’) ceremony which included the energetic cultural dances known as Larakaraka in Uganda or Ohangla in Kenya and Tanzania.

A typical Luo wedding combined serenity and romance; vigour and enthusiasm as well as merrymaking. Nyom Planet recreates this universe.

Meet the Team

Jedidah

Making sure couples have a stress-free wedding is my specialty. I have spent the last couple of years understanding the dynamics of the wedding industry. As a certified wedding planner, I listen to couples’ desires and concerns and tailor wedding packages to meet their needs. I reside in Uganda with my family. When I am not spending time with them or assisting couples in planning beautiful wedding ceremonies, you can find me watching movies.
