FAQs

Question

What's the Tea Ceremony and are we invited?

Answer

Think of it as a pre-wedding engagement party! The tea ceremony is considered the proper meeting of both families, where the groom and his parents ask the bride's family for her hand in marriage. It is the celebration of the union of the two families while honoring the parents, family, and ancestors. Our Tea Ceremony is scheduled for the Sunday before, on July 14th, at the bride's family house. We ask to celebrate this moment with our immediate family, close friends, and wedding party.

Question

Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our American ceremony will be outdoors while the reception will be just a few feet away and indoors. We can't wait to celebrate with you at our beautiful venue, New Journey Farms!

Question

Is there parking available near your wedding venue?

Answer

Yes, there will be plenty of parking in the gravel lot! It's just a few feet walking distance from the venue. We'll be out in the country so you don't have to worry about city traffic or street parking!

Question

Have you reserved blocks of rooms at one or more hotels?

Answer

Yes! Please visit the Hotel Accommodation page on our website for more details!

Question

Will there be a shuttle to and/or from the hotel?

Answer

Unfortunately, we do not have a shuttle service to and from the hotel. From our experience, uber and Lyft in Lafayette have been promising so far!

Question

What is the dress code for your wedding?

Answer

Our wedding theme is timeless chic, modern, with a touch of Vietnam's rich culture to honor the bride's heritage. Our decorations will be neutral, but we want our guests to pop out! Our dress code is suits and formal attire. Summer colors and florals are highly encouraged! We ask that ladies do not wear white so the bride can have her special day.

Question

Am I allowed to bring a plus one or guest?

Due to our limited seatings, we regretfully cannot accomodate plus ones or additional guests unless it is specified on your invitation. These formal invitations will be mailed out a few months before the wedding date. Please don't hesitate to ask MaiHan directly if you have any questions!

Question

Am I allowed to bring my children?

Question

Question

Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?

Answer

Reception, yes! Ceremony? Not during it, please! We will be having a unplugged ceremony and ask our guests to not distract our professional wedding photographer, so that they can get the best possible shots without the interference of other flashes or mobile screens. Of course, at the very begining of the ceremony, our officiant will announce a time for our guests to snap a shot of the moment!
