Is This You
You want the traditions run right, not guessed at.
A Chinese wedding has an order to it: the tea ceremony, the door games, the banquet with its seating and its toasts. Done right, it is seamless. Done by a planner who is guessing, the small mistakes are the ones the family notices.
We plan these weddings constantly, in Mandarin and Cantonese, so the rituals are correct and nothing is lost between the two sides of the family.
- You want the tea ceremony and banquet done correctly.
- You need a planner fluent in Mandarin or Cantonese.
- You are blending Chinese and Western traditions.
- You want both families genuinely at ease.
For The Parents
Your parents shouldn't have to correct the wedding.
We communicate in Mandarin and Cantonese, explain the sequence clearly, and make sure parents and elders know what happens before the day begins.
They should be able to participate, advise, and enjoy the celebration, without stepping in because a detail was missed.

The Difference
Planned from the inside.
Most planners can decorate a Chinese wedding. Far fewer can run the tea ceremony in the right order, seat the banquet correctly, and speak to both sets of parents in their own language.
Karina does, fluently. That is the difference between a wedding that looks the part and one that is genuinely, correctly yours.

What our clients say.
Karina understood the tea ceremony, banquet flow, family roles, and timing, and she communicated with our parents in Mandarin and Cantonese. Eric made sure the overall planning stayed organized. Our parents felt comfortable from beginning to end.
Lisa Zhou
Our biggest concern was whether someone would actually understand our traditions rather than just know the names of them. Karina made sure the tea ceremony and banquet were handled correctly, and Eric helped keep the entire wedding moving smoothly.
Andrew & Vivian Chen
What impressed us most was how comfortable Karina made our family feel. She understood the traditions, communicated clearly, and respected what was important to our parents. Eric was incredibly helpful in making sure nothing fell through the cracks.

Good To Know
Chinese wedding questions, answered.
Do you speak Mandarin and Cantonese?
Yes. We plan and run fluently in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, so nothing is lost between families or generations.
Can you run the tea ceremony?
Yes, in the correct order, with the right roles, gifts, and timing, and coordinated with the rest of the day so it flows.
How do you handle the banquet?
We manage the seating, the order of toasts, the courses, and the run of show, the details that quietly go wrong when a planner is guessing.
Can you blend Chinese and Western traditions?
Absolutely. We weave a Western ceremony and a Chinese tea ceremony and banquet into one day, with taste, so neither feels like an afterthought.

It depends on your guest count, banquet, and scope, so we quote every wedding to its own plan. Tell us what you are planning and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
