If you want the easiest trip, fly into Da Nang International Airport (code: DAD). The wedding resort is 20 minutes away by GRAB (Taxi).
The weather will be "warm" at about 80 F with mid to high humidity. The ocean air should help and March is a good time to travel to Da Nang. The chance of rain in March should be low, but packing an umbrella and/or rain poncho is highly recommended. Waterproof shoes (or CROCs/rubber sandals) are a local favorite.
Smart casual to semi-formal is more than enough. Be comfortable and don't worry about how you look! We're excited to see YOU not your wardrobe :)
