Kakaki by V14

Culture. Commerce. Connection. All through the lens of a Nigerian wedding.

Kakaki by V14 is an immersive, theatrical event that stages a vibrant Nigerian Traditional Wedding not as spectacle, but as a compelling way to spotlight the enterprise ecosystem behind celebratory events.

Taking place in Harrogate this October, Kakaki invites guests into an experience that is both joyful and strategic: a living demonstration of how culture drives commerce, and how shared traditions can anchor new economies.

From the commanding presence of Alaga Ajoke Araloge, to the pulse of DJ BJ Kaz, and the melodies of TemmySax, every detail is deliberate.

Outfit designs by Ike Choice Couture and Grace & Glory Couture tell a story of style, status, and legacy captured through the lens of The Digital Growth and Spotlite Studios. Traditional wedding gifts and hospitality, presented in collaboration with Heritage Harvest Foods (a Harrogate-based African grocery store), further enrich the narrative.

More than a staged wedding, Kakaki by V14 is a platform for local businesses to shine, supported by Yorkshire and UK partners including Eco Everyday, The Biskery, Aesthetica, and MindBodyGoals Ltd.

At its core, this event invites residents, professionals, creatives, and business owners into a shared experience, to witness how culture and enterprise intertwine, and how Yorkshire’s evolving identity is something to be celebrated together.
