Experience Taiwanese Wedding Traditions Taiwanese weddings combine meaningful traditions with joyful celebration. We want to follow entire traditional procedure so there will be an engagement ceremony at the begining. The wedding ceremony then will begin with a “bride pick-up” ceremony (迎娶), where the groom arrives at the bride’s home with music, groomsmen, and playful games. After the groom complete the "mission," they travel together to the groom's house. A tea ceremony follows, where the couple serves tea to elders in exchange for blessings and red envelopes. The evening ends with a lively banquet, sometimes held outdoors as a traditional 流水席 (Liúshuǐxí), filled with delicious dishes, toasts, and laughter. Of course, mostly seafood in Taiwan. We warmly invite you to join us and be part of this special celebration, experiencing the traditions that have brought families together for generations.

About the Engagement Ceremony In Taiwanese tradition, the engagement ceremony is a formal celebration where both families gather to exchange symbolic gifts and blessings. It represents the union of two families and marks an important milestone before the wedding day. This intimate ceremony is primarily for close family members. However, if you're curious and would love to experience this special part of Taiwanese culture, we warmly welcome you to join us and witness the traditions!

We recommend wearing comfortable shoes, as some parts of the ceremony may involve walking or standing outdoors. You're also welcome to bring a pair of shoes to change into, if needed.

About Traditional Taiwanese Wedding Ritual In the afteroon of our wedding, we’ll hold a traditional Taiwanese “Ying Qu” (迎娶) ceremony—where the groom’s family formally picks up the bride from her home back to the groom house. We have decided to use The Grand Hotel to be as Zach's family house. The event includes symbolic customs like door games, tea ceremonies, and blessings from elders. This will be the first time forthe new marriaged couple to call their partners' parents "Mom" and "Dad" It’s lively, full of meaning, and we’d love to have you there to experience this joyful part of Taiwanese culture with us!

Roadside Banquet 流水席晚宴

6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Attire suggestions: Elegant, formal attire is recommended for the event. Avoid black color.

The Liúshuǐxí wedding banquet will be held outside the temple where Nina grew up, offering a truly unique cultural experience. Unlike traditional indoor weddings, this outdoor setting reflects the close-knit nature of Taiwanese culture. The banquet will feature an array of seafood dishes, which are central to Taiwanese wedding celebrations. Seafood is considered a symbol of prosperity and abundance, and you can expect a variety of fish and shellfish, prepared in authentic Taiwanese styles. To ensure your comfort, please inform us if you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions, particularly regarding seafood. We want to make sure everyone enjoys the celebration without any concerns. We hope you will enjoy this special occasion, experience the delicious food, and embrace the rich cultural atmosphere that makes this event unforgettable.
