Our celebration will be a traditional Taiwanese wedding banquet lunch starting around noon. Expect a relaxed, seated meal with a succession of beautifully presented, auspicious dishes served directly to each guest, a few short heartfelt toasts from us and our parents, and a joyful afternoon celebrating together.

There's no hour-long ceremony or walking down the aisle. We'll do a brief entrance and some traditional customs, but most of the time is spent eating, drinking, and celebrating together at your table.

Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and respectful for a celebration! Don't be surprised if some Taiwanese guests appear more casually dressed than you might expect at a Western wedding; this is completely normal and appropriate.

Lunch will be served at In Between, the stylish restaurant at Eslite Hotel in Taipei. The menu is a thoughtful Asian-fusion take on the traditional Taiwanese wedding banquet, with classic auspicious flavors and symbolism reimagined with contemporary, refined plating.

Monetary gifts in red envelopes (紅包) are traditional and customary at Taiwanese weddings.
