Ayiri Oladunmoye

Some event planners create beautiful events. Others create experiences that remain in people's hearts long after the last guest has left. Ayiri Oladunmoye belongs firmly in the latter.

As the Founder and Creative Director of Oaken Events, Ayiri has quietly redefined what excellence in event management looks like. In an industry often driven by spectacle, she has built a reputation for something far more enduring — intentionality. Every celebration, corporate event and milestone she delivers is rooted in purpose, authenticity and impeccable attention to detail.

Her philosophy is refreshingly simple: the most memorable events are not necessarily the loudest; they are the ones that make people feel something. What distinguishes Ayiri is her ability to see every event as a story waiting to be told. Before the décor, the lighting or the production, she seeks to understand the people behind the occasion. Their journey becomes the foundation upon which every unforgettable experience is built.

Under her leadership, Oaken Events has grown into more than an event management company. It has become a creative studio where elegance meets strategy, and where timeless design consistently triumphs over fleeting trends. Her work reflects the rare combination of creativity, precision, emotional intelligence and flawless execution that today's discerning clients value.

Ayiri reminds us that exceptional events are not measured by extravagance, but by the memories they create and the emotions they inspire. For her unwavering commitment to excellence, her distinctive creative vision and her contribution to raising the standard of event management in Nigeria, we are proud to celebrate Ayiri Oladunmoye as one of the LOOM Picks 10 Honourees for July. Congratulations, Ayiri — your work continues to prove that the most remarkable experiences don't have to demand attention; they naturally command it.
