The Walima is the reception hosted by the groom's family after the Nikah — a Sunnah obligation in Islamic tradition, meant to publicly announce and celebrate the marriage. The community attends; food is the centerpiece; the couple is honored formally.
Melaa's job is to show you the vendors who've actually done this before — not the ones who'll learn on your wedding.
Copy these into your first DM or brief. Their answers will tell you everything.
