2025 proved a headline-packed year for celebrity weddings, from intimate influencer ceremonies to star-studded global blowouts.

Across Kenya and around the world, public figures used a mix of private family celebrations and lavish destination events to mark new chapters, and the coverage reflected the variety: cultural rites, political guests, designer gowns, and viral moments that trended for days.

Kenyan events dominated local feeds, with a stream of high-profile unions that blended politics, pop culture, and tradition.

Notable local celebrations included the wedding of Anthony Njoroge to Tamara Wetang’ula, a white-wedding ceremony attended by senior state leaders, and James Kimoi’s Amboseli ceremony, a private affair that still drew former presidents and political heavyweights.

These gatherings highlighted how many Kenyan celebrity and elite weddings this year were as much social statements as personal milestones.

Not all high-profile weddings were national affairs.

Kenya’s entertainment scene also produced memorable ceremonies: Ohangla star Prince Indah’s traditional wedding was celebrated in Migori with colourful cultural pageantry, while content creators and influencers staged intimate weekends and destination events that captured both local and international attention.

Local stars and cultural ceremonies

Several Kenyan artists and social media personalities chose traditional rites that underscored regional culture and music.

Prince Indah’s Migori ceremony fused Luo traditions with modern spectacle, drawing both fans and cultural commentary.

Other public figures opted for multi-day wedding weekends that mixed private family rituals with glitzy receptions, showcasing a trend toward hybrid ceremonies that honor heritage while delivering the visual moments today’s audiences expect.

Influencers, content creators and private vows

Influencers used the year to stage both intimate and highly curated weddings.

Content creator Hali Oduor’s choice to wed in Kenya on June 28, 2025, was widely covered by lifestyle outlets and underscored how creators are now central players in wedding culture, their events often double as destination promotions and personal brand moments.
