Oladipupo Akinkunmi, founder of Alveena Events, has been crowned the Global Best Black-owned Luxury Event Design Brand at the 2025 Limitless Without Borders Awards.

Limitless Without Borders Awards is an international recognition platform celebrating visionary entrepreneurs, creatives, and changemakers across the world.

The honour was officially announced on 25 June this year, marking a significant milestone in Akinkunmi’s journey as a design leader and African brand builder.

Alveena Events has earned its place as a top-tier luxury event brand known for delivering breathtaking, culturally rich, and emotionally resonant experiences. From custom-designed weddings to high-profile celebrations and corporate installations, the company’s reputation continues to grow across borders, setting new standards for elegance, authenticity, and precision.

“To receive global recognition in this category is deeply humbling,” he said. “We have built this brand from the ground up, with purpose, integrity, and a commitment to artistic excellence that reflects the beauty of our roots and the ambition of our future.”

The Limitless Without Borders Awards recognise the achievements of Black-owned businesses that are breaking ceilings and shaping new narratives. The 2025 edition focused on spotlighting brands that have not only demonstrated excellence but have also remained true to their identity while impacting communities and industries.

Reminiscing about his trajectory, he shared, “When I started Alveena Events, it was never just about decoration. It was about creating unforgettable moments, using design to tell stories that speak to who we are and who we aspire to be. This award is a testament to the years of vision, late nights, and passion that have gone into every detail.”

What sets Alveena Events apart is its ability to blend artistic creativity with meticulous execution. Each event is designed to be more than beautiful. It is meaningful, immersive, and perfectly tailored to the client’s essence. His design philosophy is rooted in the belief that space can influence emotion and that detail is not just important but essential.

Under his leadership, Alveena has become a brand that not only delivers excellence but also inspires the next generation of African creatives.

As the leader, he has mentored a handful of young event professionals, spoken at creative business panels, and used his platform to encourage bold thinking in the luxury space.

“Winning this award is a reminder that our culture, our vision, and our excellence deserve a global spotlight,” he added. “There are no limits for those who build with courage and create with love.”

As Alveena Events expands into new markets and explores collaborations with creatives across Africa and the diaspora, this recognition affirms what many in the industry already knew. Akinkunmi and his brand are leading voices in the global design space.

“This honour reminds me that borders are not barriers,” he concluded. “We are limitless by design, and the world is ready for what we have to offer.”
