Expert Wedding Planning In
Columbus, Ohio
Zolana Weddings was born out of my own journey as a bride, one filled with joy, culture, and love, but also the challenge of finding wedding professionals who could understand my vision of a multicultural wedding.
As an immigrant from Congo, Central Africa, I carry with me the richness of a culture that deeply honors tradition, sacred union, and celebration. In my world, even the smallest moments are worth celebrating, and marriage is treated with reverence and intention.
As a bride who had to plan her own wedding in a foreign country, finding vendors who could grasp the cultural nuances that were so important to me was hard. That experience sparked something in me: a desire to build a space where couples from all walks of life, all cultures, and all traditions could feel seen, understood, and fully celebrated.
Thatâs how Zolana Weddings was born.

Zolana Weddings began with a personal experience. When I planned my own wedding, I faced the joy of blending traditions and the challenge of finding professionals who truly understood what that meant. As someone planning a multicultural wedding in a new country, I quickly realized how difficult it was to explain the value of certain customs and why those details mattered so deeply to me.
Where I come from, tradition, sacred union, and celebration are deeply honored. In my culture, even the quietest moments are meaningful, and marriage is approached with respect and intention. That perspective continues to shape everything I do at Zolana.
My goal is to support couples who want their wedding to reflect who they are, where they come from, and what they value with a planning process that is thoughtful, organized, and free from overwhelm.
