One of Akinyemi Hammed Temidayo’s Instagram reels has 3.7 million views. The caterer behind it started cooking for money before he finished secondary school.
That’s the gap Bluetooth Catering and Event keeps closing: between a teenage side hustle and the kind of brand Wema Bank books for its events. Twelve years in, the numbers tell the story. 67,000 Instagram followers. A verified blue tick. A 40 Under 40 award. Reels pulling hundreds of thousands of views, sometimes millions.
So what is Bluetooth Catering and Event? It’s a Nigerian luxury event catering and brand consultancy serving breakfast, continental, and oriental menus for high-end weddings, corporate functions, and private events, known for sculpted food displays, uniformed waitstaff, and fine-dining plating at scale.
From a Chef’s Apprentice to a 40 Under 40 Awardee
Akinyemi’s origin story doesn’t start in business school. It starts in a school uniform.
A working chef took him on as an apprentice while he was still in secondary school, walking him through kitchen discipline and the operations side of running a service. That mentorship pointed him toward the Federal College of Fisheries, where he stacked formal training on top of what he was already doing in real kitchens.
By the time most of his peers were picking majors, Akinyemi had a decade of plates behind him. The 40 Under 40 recognition that now sits in his Instagram bio is the formal stamp on a craft he’d been quietly building since he was a teenager.
What Sets This Award-Winning Nigerian Caterer Apart
Scroll the Bluetooth Catering and Event feed and the look is consistent: tall lanterns, draped marquees, sculpted food stands, waitstaff in matching whites that wouldn’t look out of place at a five-star hotel.
The food is one half. The choreography is the other. Akinyemi treats every event like a brand activation, because for the bride, the bank, or the brand throwing it, that’s exactly what it is. The plating, the timing, the way the staff move through a hall: all of it is designed to be photographed, posted, and remembered.
That eye for staging is also why his content travels. A reel with 3.7 million views isn’t an accident. It’s a caterer who understands that in 2026, the meal and the marketing are the same job.
Building a Team That Outlives the Founder
Ask Akinyemi about his proudest moment and he skips the celebrity gigs. He talks about his team.
“I want Bluetooth Catering and Event to become a household name that continues to grow beyond my time at its helm,” he says. The investments are going into equipment upgrades, sharper logistics, and knowledge transfer to the younger chefs coming up under him.
He’s honest about the cost too. The cancelled bookings, the supplier delays, the work-life balance that disappears the moment a Saturday wedding moves to Friday. Running a Nigerian catering business at this level means absorbing the unknown on repeat.
What’s Next for Bluetooth Catering and Event
The next chapter is scale without losing the plating. Better equipment, tighter logistics, more collaborations with event planners and venues, and content that keeps the brand visible between bookings.
For a caterer who started as a teenager and now feeds banks and trends on Instagram, the climb has been steady. The next leg looks steeper.
