Founder of Zaphaire Events, Funke Bucknor-Obruthe, needs no introduction. And on October 13, 2023, her knack for producing the most exquisite events was again on full display at the obsequies for Dolapo Balogun, mother of Afrobeat star, Wizkid Ayo Balogun.

Event planning and execution can be a very expensive and untidy process because the relevant information is fragmented, difficult to assemble, and the “database” is often a pile of raw contacts. But Ms. Bucknor-Obruthe counters this, and has gained a reputation for careful thinking and planning that deliver breathtaking beauty and cost-effectiveness at the same time.
