A wedding is a sequence, not an event
Gusaba, the civil ceremony, the church, the reception. Treating them as four separate jobs is why so many Rwandan weddings feel like four different weddings. We design them as one.
The studio
One team across
the whole wedding.
La Kuzwe is a Kigali studio that designs the rooms, makes the clothes and runs the day — the three things couples usually have to source from three different places.
Most couples in Kigali hire a decorator, then a tailor, then someone to coordinate — and spend the months in between translating between them. We are all three.
What we hold to
Four things we
actually believe.
The cloth and the room are the same decision
A palette chosen for a hall and a mushanana chosen at a different shop will fight each other in every photograph. Keeping decoration and tailoring under one roof is not a convenience — it is the only way the two agree.
Tradition is not decoration
Rwandan ceremony has its own logic: who speaks, who sits where, what the room is actually for. We design around that logic rather than borrowing surface motifs and calling it heritage.
Say the hard thing early
If a budget will not carry what you are picturing, or a date is too close for the fittings, you should hear it in the first conversation — not discover it six weeks out.
Who you work with
Sabine
La Kuzwe is not an agency that sends a stranger on the day. Every enquiry reaches Sabine directly — and she is the one who draws the room, cuts the cloth and stands at the back when the doors open.

Kiyovu, Kigali
KN 16 Av / 40. We work across Kigali and travel elsewhere in Rwanda for the right celebration — and we plan regularly with couples who are abroad until the week of the wedding.

Tell us about
your celebration.
Whether the date is set or you are still counting rooms, the first conversation costs nothing and usually clears a great deal up.
