YOUR NY PARTY BEST (dress hot + look cool) Whatever you want that would make you feel good on an elevated night out in NY. **TRADITIONAL WEDDING COCKTAIL ATTIRE NOT REQUIRED, MAYBE EVEN DISCOURAGED** ENCOURAGED: Sets, color blocking, texture, animal prints, bolo ties, statement eyewear and jewelry, etc.
The sooner, the better. We’re working with limited seating at Jing Fong and want to make sure everyone’s got a seat (and enough dumplings). Please RSVP by August 1, 2025.
We’ve reserved hotel blocks at two great spots, both close to the venue. Wyndham Garden Chinatown & 50 Bowery Both blocks offer discounted group rates from Thursday 9/18 to Monday 9/22, so you can stretch your stay if you’d like.

Our venue features a charmingly old-school NYC elevator (or a five-flight walk-up for the bold-hearted). To help things flow smoothly, we kindly ask guests to arrive at a relaxed pace between 4:15 and 4:30pm. The celebration kicks off the moment you walk in— cocktails will be flowing, music will be playing, and the ceremony will naturally unfold as part of the party. No need to rush—we won’t be saying “I Do” right at 4:15.
No need for shuttles - all events are in or near Chinatown/ LES, and easily walkable or a quick ride away. Please note: we will be doing a decent amount of walking between venues so choose footwear accordingly
Just let us know on your RSVP form and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of. Jing Fong has great options for most dietary needs — and we will do our best to accommodate all dietary restrictions
