About
We're building the platform for how Africa celebrates.
Operators who've thrown the parties, shipped the marketplaces, and run the payments. Now in one place.
Where group chats meet receipts
There's a gap between how Africa celebrates and the tooling that supports it. Weddings, launches, funerals, conferences, birthdays. The work runs on WhatsApp threads, cash deposits, and best-effort trust.
Hosts spend weeks coordinating vendors they've never met. Providers chase payment after the event ends. Tickets get duplicated, guest lists drift across screenshots, and the photos scatter into a dozen group chats.
Edwadzi puts verified vendors, escrow, ticketing, and payouts into one coherent product. Hosts get certainty. Providers get reliable bookings. Everyone gets the receipts.
Founder's message
Why we're building this
Have you ever tried to plan a surprise party for someone you love, only to realise you had to ask around, and suddenly everyone knew? That's the problem I ran into, and it's the reason Edwadzi exists.
Planning any event in Ghana, from a small birthday to a wedding, means chasing vendors through WhatsApp groups and hoping the caterer or DJ actually shows up. On the other side, real vendors, photographers, decorators, sound engineers, are doing great work but relying on word-of-mouth to survive.
We built Edwadzi to fix both sides. Clients discover verified vendors in one place, pay safely through escrow, and coordinate their event without spoiling the surprise. Vendors get a real storefront, real bookings, and same-day payouts they can count on.
We're building the platform for how Africa celebrates. Thanks for being part of the story.

What we stand for
Simple principles for how we build
These aren't slogans. They're the lens we use when making product decisions, writing code, and talking to the people who actually run events here.
Built for how Africa celebrates
Ghana cedis, Paystack rails, Arkesel SMS, USSD on *928*24#. The defaults are local, not bolted on.
Trust by default
Verified providers and escrow sit in the quiet middle. Neither side has to ask the awkward questions about money or no-shows.
One window, not a dozen tabs
Bookings, quotes, tickets, payouts, photos. Consolidated into one calm dashboard instead of WhatsApp plus spreadsheet plus bank app.
Receipts for everyone
Transparent quotes, escrowed funds, scheduled payouts. Money conversations stop being awkward.
Operators, not bystanders
Built by people who've thrown the parties and run the payments. We test on our own weddings before yours.
Partners
The rails we run on
We don't reinvent payments or messaging. We pick the partners trusted by the rest of the continent and build on top of them.
