On what makes the project different, AMVCA award winner, Adesua Etomi said, "What I try not to do first of all is to compare my projects. I love every project that I am."

"But, I think what's beautiful about "The Wedding Party" is the fact that even though it is made for Nigerians and it talks about a Nigerian wedding, anyone can identify with "The Wedding Party."

"It cuts across different nations, and it was evident when we took it to the Toronto International Film Festival. Even those who were not Nigerian could identify with the story."
