Let’s laugh, learn, and relate.

As event service providers, we often face expectations clients might not fully grasp. Whether it’s timing, last-minute changes, or budgets, what’s the one thing you wish every client knew about your work?

Share your thoughts here and let’s get a conversation going. Sometimes, educating clients starts with us sharing our experiences. What’s your #1?

Planning your big day? Here's how to pick the perfect venue:
1. Budget First: Set a clear budget to narrow down options.
2. Guest Count: Ensure the venue fits your guest list comfortably.
3. Location: Choose a spot accessible for guests, like Westlands or Karen.
4. Vibe Check: Visit venues to match your theme (rustic, modern, etc.).
5. Book Early: Popular venues book out 6-12 months in advance.

Hey everyone,

Today feels a little quieter, a little slower.
Good Friday always reminds me how precious life is, how important the bonds we have — with family, friends, and even in spaces like this — truly are.

I just wanted to check in and send peace, strength, and comfort your way. May this day bring you gentle reflection and quiet hope.

If you feel like sharing, how are you spending your Good Friday? What’s on your heart today?

Wishing you peace,
Delphine — for the Browncord Family

I have been in cocktails and events industry for around 5 years or so. Been able to work at some exciting events from weddings, to new year parties to small in house events. I have gained a lot of experience especially in the hospitality industry, especially working with one of the most renowned chefs in Kenya. My creativity and service providence has grown to a very professional and unique level. Get to contact with me to get to know more about me and what i can bring to your occasion in terms of mixology, from the planning, to purchases to execution. I hope to hear from you soon.

The new regulations for events security for your events 

Kenya isn’t just the land of breathtaking safaris, stunning coastlines, and majestic mountains—it’s also home to some of the most vibrant, creative, and unforgettable events you’ll ever experience. From traditional weddings that bring families together in beautiful harmony, to corporate gigs that turn simple conferences into full-blown experiences, our event culture is on another level. 

Let’s break it down and have a little fun while at it:

1️⃣ Weddings: The Crown Jewel of Events 
Where else can you find weddings that go from church bells to synchronized dances under acacia trees? Kenyan weddings are big, beautiful, and a total vibe. Whether you’re team Ruracio (traditional dowry ceremony) or the lavish ballroom type, we’ve mastered the art of celebrating love with flair. 

Pro Tip: Events service providers, always have backup power for the DJ booth—no one wants the sound system dying during “Jerusalema”! 

2️⃣ Corporate Events: Serious but Make It Fun 
From product launches to team-building retreats, Kenyan corporate events are becoming more dynamic. Outdoor retreats at places like Naivasha are a hit—who wouldn’t love brainstorming sessions followed by boat rides? 

Pro Tip: Embrace unique Kenyan-inspired icebreakers—like a quiz on local slang. You’d be surprised how many don’t know “kula fare”! 

3️⃣ Festivals and Parties: Always Lit 
If you haven’t been to a Kenyan food festival, are you even living? From nyama choma expos to Afrobeat concerts, our festivals are the place to be.

Pro Tip: Always check for events on social media—they’re often buzzing with updates, promos, and giveaways. 

4️⃣ Giving Back Through Events 
We’re proud to say events in Kenya often have a deeper purpose. From fundraisers to tree-planting drives after celebrations, we’re all about making an impact. At Browncord, we plant a tree after every successful event.  Small actions, big difference!

 Takeaway: Whether you’re an event service provider, planner, or client, remember that every event has the power to connect, inspire, and create memories that last a lifetime. Let’s keep creating magic, one event at a time.

Hey Browncord fam! Let’s be honest—every event has its share of hilarious (or embarrassing) photo moments. Here are some of the top fails we’ve all witnessed:

Photo Bombs Galore: Ever had that perfect wedding photo ruined by someone in the background digging into their plate? 😆 Classic! It’s funny, but also avoidable with some planning!

Awkward Poses: We’re talking stiff hugs, forced smiles, and that one guest who always insists on the peace sign 🖖—every time! A relaxed vibe can make all the difference!

Blurred Dancing Shots: High-energy photos are great…until everyone looks like they’re vibrating rather than dancing! Motion blur can be tricky but is totally avoidable.

Flash Overload: Love that bright, night-time flash look? Probably not! Bright flash can create harsh shadows, making even the happiest couple look like deer in headlights.

Have you experienced any of these? Drop your stories or photos below (if you dare)! 😂

Hey, Browncord Family! 

I hope you’re all doing well! As we embrace the beauty of October, I can’t help but think about the incredible cultural diversity we have in Kenya. Every event tells a unique story, doesn’t it?

I’d love to hear about your experiences! Have you ever incorporated a special tradition or cultural element into an event that really resonated with the guests? Maybe it was a traditional dance that got everyone on their feet, or a dish that reminded everyone of home.

I’ll go first: Recently, I had the opportunity to plan a wedding that celebrated the couple’s Kikuyu heritage. We included traditional songs and even had a cultural dance performance. The joy on the guests’ faces was priceless!

Now it’s your turn! What cultural moments have stood out in your event planning journey? Let’s share our stories and celebrate the richness of our traditions together!

Looking forward to reading your experiences!

🏵️ Hosting an event on a lush lawn surrounded by bamboo hedges sounds absolutely delightful. It sets the perfect ambiance with the fresh air and the soothing sounds of nature. What type of event are you planning?🏵️
