Who it's for

Everyone behind a Nigerian event.

The people hosting it, the organisations running it, and the planners, vendors and venues who make it happen. If your event has a guest list, a budget or a booking, StrictlyByIV is for you.

If you're hosting

Your event, planned in one place.

Weddings, birthdays, naming ceremonies, burials, graduations, concerts, conferences and religious events, plus anything else you're celebrating.

Couples

Traditional, white and court weddings. Keep the budget, guest list and vendors for every ceremony together, and plan with your partner and families.

Families

Naming ceremonies, birthdays, anniversaries, burials and remembrance services. Share the plan with the family and give each person the part they're handling.

Planning from abroad

Organising a wedding or burial back home? Work from the same plan as family on the ground, book providers with verified badges and real reviews, and see every payment.

Organisations

For teams that run events.

Bring your committee or events team into one workspace, with guest lists and check-in that hold up at scale.

Companies

End-of-year parties, product launches, AGMs, staff retreats, award nights and customer events.

Churches & mosques

Conventions, crusades, thanksgiving services, Ramadan and Eid programmes, and walimah.

Schools & universities

Convocations, matriculations, graduations, prize-giving days, reunions and homecomings.

Associations & clubs

Professional bodies, alumni associations, town unions, age grades, social clubs and cooperatives.

Government & NGOs

Commissioning ceremonies, summits, workshops, conferences and galas.

Entertainment

Concerts, festivals, comedy shows, fashion shows, premieres and wrap parties.

If you make events happen

Get found, get booked, get paid.

List your business with photos, packages and prices. Clients pay through StrictlyByIV when they book, and you're paid after you deliver, or sooner when your client releases it. Verify your identity or your registered business to earn a badge clients trust.

Planning together

Bring in the people who help.

Family & co-hosts

Invite them by link, phone or email, and choose what each person can see and do, from the guest list to the budget.

Committees

Wedding, burial, church and corporate committees can split the work: one person on guests, another on vendors, another on the budget.

Your guests

They don't need the app. Each guest gets a personal invitation link to reply in their browser and, if they're coming, a QR pass for the gate.
