Buying chafing dishes and tea urns can be quite expensive but don’t let that be the reason why you serve cold food at your functions.
Instead of buying, you can hire the chafing dishes and the tea urns from us and serve your guests piping hot food.
A tea urn is an industrial kettle which is used to boil water so you serve hot beverages (tea/ coffee) at your functions. We have 35 litre capacity urns. This means you can serve +50 standard tea cups without worrying about hot water.
It costs just USD15 to hire per day but we have a promo and you can hire it for just USD10 instead.
Chafing dishes are food warmers which keep your food hot. These cost USD4 each to hire.

When you want to add that regal touch to your event, it’s just as simple as adding a red carpet and gold stanchion poles to your decor setup.

“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” — Maya Angelou
The waiting season can be quite hard. What makes it even harder is watching everyone else’s love story unfold while yours seems to be standing still.
Your friends start getting married one by one.
You’re a bridesmaid this month and a best girl the following month.
You keep receiving wedding invitations each wedding season
Your closest friends enter into wife and motherhood seasons.
Sometimes you wonder if God hears your prayers and sees your tears. “Does he even know my address?” You wonder.
But waiting is not the same as being forgotten.
The woman who spends this season growing in wisdom, strengthening her faith, building her career, healing from past hurts, and becoming emotionally whole is not “behind.” She is preparing for a love that can recognize her value.
The right relationship will never be too late, but it will definitely be just in time for you.
Your story not yet over. This is just the beginning.
And when things start aligning and your prayers start being answered, you’ll understand why this season had to happen first.

The Impact of Family Expectations on the Wedding Budget
The one thing that creates the biggest headaches when planning a wedding in Zimbabwe is managing family expectations.
One would expect that the prices of wedding vendors, wedding services and products would cause the most headaches but this is not the case.
Whilst in Africa, a wedding is a family affair, as an engaged couple do not make your personal wishes subservient to the wishes of others.
Remember, this is YOUR wedding and if you’re footing the bill, then you need to find a way to honor your family while still protecting your finances.
A respectful conversation today can prevent unnecessary conflict and resentment in the future.
