CULTURAL & MULTICULTURAL WEDDING PLANNING
YOUR TRADITIONS DESERVE MORE THAN A CHECKLIST.
Your wedding is more than a celebration. It carries family history, meaningful traditions and the people who helped shape who you are.
Magnolia Moss Events plans weddings that honor where you come from while making space for the celebration you're creating together.
Across West African, South Asian, East Asian and fusion weddings, Kelisha brings cultural fluency, experience and care to the planning.
THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE CELEBRATION
A PLANNER WHO ALREADY UNDERSTANDS YOUR TRADITION.
Kelisha has planned weddings and celebrations across Louisiana since 2018, when she launched Magnolia Moss Events in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Since then she has planned Nigerian traditional ceremonies, multi-day South Asian weddings, Hispanic and Jewish weddings and multicultural celebrations that join two families' traditions.
Multicultural weddings aren’t a niche specialization here. They are where our cultural fluency comes from.
AWARD-WINNING EVENT PLANNER
EVERY CEREMONY BEAUTIFULLY HONORED
The baraat. The mehndi. The haldi. The sangeet.
Each celebration has its own significance, its own rhythm and its own place within your wedding story.
Indian and South Asian weddings are familiar ground for Kelisha, from multi-day ceremonies in Baton Rouge to weddings that combine South Asian and Western traditions.
From the sequence of events to the vendors and family members involved, Kelisha and her team make sure each celebration receives the attention it deserves.
“From the start, she impressed us with her understanding of our cultures, vision and innovative ideas.”

Your wedding carries more than a timeline. It carries the hopes of two families, the eyes of a community and traditions that deserve to be honored.
From Yoruba and Igbo traditional ceremonies to the kokooko knocking ceremony, money spraying and multi-day wedding festivities, Kelisha and her team understand the details that make these occasions meaningful.
She knows that planning a Nigerian wedding means understanding not only the ceremony itself, but the family dynamics and community expectations surrounding it.
“She was the perfect conductor for all the moving pieces ... and the perfect buffer between us and our guest.”
WHEN TWO CULTURES COME TOGETHER
TWO FAMILIES. TWO SETS OF EXPECTATIONS. ONE CELEBRATION.
A multicultural wedding isn't simply about fitting multiple traditions into one day. It's about making sure each family feels seen, respected and represented.
That can mean balancing different ceremonies, religious traditions, timelines, vendors and ways of celebrating, so that neither culture feels like an afterthought.
Whether you're planning a Nigerian and American celebration, combining Jewish and Mexican traditions, including a Chinese tea ceremony or bringing South Asian and Western ceremonies together, Kelisha understands what it takes to give each tradition its rightful place.
Kelisha holds the full picture and works with both families, so you can stay focused on what the celebration is actually about.
