“We created a London Central Park themed wedding for a couple in Lebanon. It took us 21 hours and 80 people to set up the venue. It was a record. It usually takes days to achieve this. Is it something I want to do again in 21 hours? No. Give me three days, I will be cooler,” he says.

With presence in eight countries, the La Table collection is available online, by appointment and in stores across Nigeria. They are designed and made by tailors in Lebanon and can be delivered eight weeks after the day they are ordered.
