Casual — wear what you normally would for a night-out!
For anyone arriving early and looking to ease into the weekend with a drink (or a few), join us for a casual night out in Lisbon’s iconic Bairro Alto. No agenda, just good vibes. We’ll kick things off at a bar (TBD on location) around 9.00 PM and see where the night takes us. Expect natural wine, great company, and some cobblestone wandering. Come as you are, swing by whenever — it’s all about connecting and kicking things off together.

Cocktail — Vibrant colors are encouraged! Feel free to embrace tradition with a cheongsam, qipao, or Chinese-inspired attire if you’d like. We kindly ask that you avoid wearing red, as that special color is reserved for the bride.
We’re kicking off the festivities with the lively tradition of Gate Crashing! In this playful Chinese wedding custom, the groom and his groomsmen must take on a series of cheeky challenges set by the bridesmaids to prove their love, devotion, and teamwork — all before the groom can “win” his way to the bride. We’d love for all our guests to join us as spectators, and your participation will make it even more fun!
5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
We’ll gather for a Tea Ceremony to honor our families. In this cherished tradition, we’ll serve tea to our elders as a gesture of respect and gratitude, receiving their blessings, wisdom, and well wishes in return. It’s an intimate moment we’re excited to share with you. After the ceremony, stay for our Welcome Party! Food and drinks will be served.

Formal — Dress to impress! Think elegant with a touch of your unique style. Our wedding is your runway, so have fun with it!
Join us for a vow exchange ceremony, followed by cocktails, a dinner reception, and plenty of dancing. The celebration will continue with an on-site after-party! A detailed schedule will be shared soon. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
