After waiting for almost 3 years, we're so excited to finally celebrate with 170+ loved ones in-person! Although we would be super bummed, please consider staying home if you feel sick or if you or someone you’ve been in contact with has tested positive for COVID-19 in the 1 week leading up to the event. Please notify us no later than July 27th if you no longer can attend the wedding!! We also encourage guests to take an at-home rapid test 72 hours (i.e. on Wednesday 7/27) before the wedding for an extra precaution. You can order free at-home COVID-19 tests from USPS: https://special.usps.com/testkits We are actively monitoring COVID-19 developments and want to assure you that the safety of our guests is our primary focus. To ensure the health & safety of all our guests, our wedding venue, the Berkeley City Club requires that all guests ages 18+ be fully vaccinated and show proof of COVID-19 vaccination. Please be prepared to attest on behalf of your party's COVID-19 vaccination status in your RSVP response. We appreciate your cooperation and your health is our number one priority. We understand that this situation may make your attendance of our wedding in-person impossible and this deeply saddens us because we love you and will miss you.
Both the ceremony and dinner reception is taking place in one location: The Berkeley City Club, 2315 Durant Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704. The ceremony is on a covered patio terrace and reception is indoors in a grand ballroom, both on the second floor. We chose this beautiful hotel as our venue because of its historical architectural significance, designed by Julia Morgan, the first woman architect in California. She was prolific and designed many landmarks like the Hearst Castle. We hope you marvel at the building's beauty!

See the RSVP details for your family. Kids are welcomed but we will leave it up to the parents' discretion and totally understand if you'd feel more comfortable having them stay at home with considerations of the big size and duration of the in-person event and the COVID-19 safety precautions in place.
Please check your RSVP detail for your guest/plus one. Due to the max capacity and limited size of our venue, we are only able to accommodate the individual names and/or plus ones explicitly listed on your invitation and RSVP detail. We're so sorry that we can't accommodate anyone additional!
Dress attire is formal & fabulous! We encourage you to dress to impress in gowns, cocktail dresses, suits and ties. The bridal party is wearing taupe dresses and grey suits. Ladies, to help the bride shine, please refrain from wearing ivory/light blush/white or red.
Having you come celebrate with us is a gift enough! If you are feeling particularly generous, head over to the “Registry” page where we’ve curated a wishlist as we fully furnish and hope to renovate the home we purchased together. It is also customary in Vietnamese culture to gift cash.
