Fresh chicken for Weddings in Nairobi
Chicken is the centrepiece protein at almost every Kenyan wedding — from the ruracio and traditional ceremonies to the reception buffet. PrimeBird supplies wedding caterers, committees and self-catering families across Nairobi with fresh, KEBS-certified, Halal chicken at wholesale rates, delivered cold-chain directly to your venue or caterer.
Tell us your guest count and menu and we will help you plan exact quantities, so you neither run short in front of guests nor overspend the budget. For a typical 200-guest reception where chicken is the main protein, plan on 50–66 kg of bone-in chicken — about 34–44 whole birds — and we can supply it whole, jointed into wedding-portion pieces, or as specific cuts like thighs and drumsticks that serve uniformly.
Wedding orders are scheduled in advance and delivered the morning of the event (or the evening before, chilled) so the chicken reaches your caterer at peak freshness. Free delivery applies to qualifying bulk orders anywhere in Nairobi, with Kiambu and Machakos venues also covered.
Chicken is our most popular event protein, but PrimeBird also supplies fresh goat meat, mutton, beef, duck, turkey, goose, rabbit and tilapia for the same occasion — all KEBS-certified and delivered cold-chain, so you can order a mixed spread from one supplier instead of several.

Weddings — FAQs
How much chicken do I need for a wedding of 200 guests?
Plan 50–66 kg of raw bone-in chicken (about 34–44 whole birds) when chicken is the main protein, or roughly 40–50 kg when it is served alongside beef or goat. PrimeBird can confirm exact quantities from your menu free of charge.
What is the price of bulk chicken for a wedding in Nairobi?
Wedding orders qualify for wholesale rates, typically KES 430–520 per kilo for whole chicken depending on volume — below the retail KES 480–560. A 200-guest supply usually lands between KES 22,000 and KES 34,000.
Can you deliver directly to my wedding venue or caterer?
Yes. We schedule cold-chain delivery to your venue, home or caterer anywhere in Nairobi, Kiambu or Machakos — the morning of the event or chilled the evening before, at your choice.
How do I place a bulk order for an event?

Can I also order goat meat, mutton, beef, duck, turkey, goose, rabbit or fish for the event?
Yes. Alongside chicken, PrimeBird supplies fresh goat meat, mutton, beef, duck, turkey, goose, rabbit and tilapia for events at the same wholesale rates on bulk orders — many hosts mix a few proteins to give guests a choice.
