I'm Tara Akinkugbe, the Founder and Creative Director of Curated By Tara, a global luxury wedding and event planning studio specialising in bespoke celebrations across the UK, Europe and Africa. Morocco has become one of our most sought-after destinations, with eight celebrations taking us there this year alone, reflecting our strong presence in a country that continues to inspire us creatively. With Nigerian and British roots, my background has greatly influenced how I approach celebrations and weddings. I've always been fascinated by the relationship between culture, design, hospitality and human connection. I believe the most beautiful weddings are those that tell a story, honour the people at the heart of them and leave a lasting impression.

5 Reviews for Curated By Tara
Tara and her phenomenal team at Curated by Tara didn’t just decorate a venue—they transformed it into something magical for my daughter Zuby and her husband David.
From the beginning, Tara’s creativity, impeccable taste, and attention to detail were evident. She understood how meaningful the celebration was to our family and brought our vision to life with elegance, warmth, and extraordinary care.
The venue transformation was breathtaking. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed, creating an atmosphere that felt luxurious yet deeply personal. Even when some planned draping was unavailable, Tara adapted seamlessly and delivered something magnificent—a true testament to her professionalism and talent.
Her exceptional team was equally impressive: professional, patient, warm, and genuinely committed to making the day special. Their hard work behind the scenes made everything feel effortless.
As the mother of the bride, seeing Tara’s vision come together was incredibly moving. Our guests were blown away, and the compliments have been endless. The décor, ambience, and overall elegance created lasting memories our family will cherish forever.
Tara, you created more than a beautiful setting—you created magic and an experience of a lifetime. Thank you for going above and beyond to make Zuby and David’s wedding so extraordinary.
I cannot recommend Tara and her team highly enough. If you’re looking for creativity, luxury, elegance, professionalism, and unforgettable results, look no further. Five stars are simply not enough—Curated by Tara is truly world-class, absolutely phenomenal, and worth every penny!
With immense gratitude and appreciation,

You were incredible. Only CBT could execute a celebration that beautifully. We’re so, so grateful to you all.
Tara and Aby, our day ones. You guys held it down from beginning to end so gracefully, and it was amazing seeing you both there, firstly bringing everything to life and then finally getting to chat, dance and tequilaaa!
Toke, you amazed me. You came in right in the thick of it and held your own so effortlessly that it genuinely felt like you’d been part of the journey from the very beginning. Wish we got to see you, but I’m sure we will at some point.
I’m so thankful to you all. You’re the real dream team. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
