About us
Event Planning and Management Specialists. It has been growing and creating magic since July 2017.
Style and practicality are at the heart of what we do.
Now that we have you here, we’d love to take this chance to share the meaning behind our unique company name.
I’m sure you’ve wondered why we are named after a premium hardwood produced by the Oak tree. The name was proposed by Stella (our in-house bookworm & eternal optimist), and this is why we agreed with her.
While ‘Oakwood’ is a very heavy and durable wood, it’s also one of the most malleable hard woods there is. This means it can easily be crafted into beautiful pieces of furniture that can last for decades.
These qualities of the ‘Oakwood’ spoke strongly to the core values that we wanted the Oakwood Events Uganda brand to represent – i.e. resilience, flexibility, longevity and premium value service.
Indeed these same values continue to guide who we are and how we work.
