What is the tea ceremony?

The tea ceremony is a Chinese tradition where the bride and groom serve tea to their respective families, including parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other esteemed elders. The couple receives well wishes and gifts, and it’s an act of welcoming either the bride or the groom, thereby unifying both families. We would love for you to observe the tea ceremony, which will begin at 10:30 AM in the Evergreen Room. You are also more than welcome to arrive at 11 AM for the brunch reception in the main Dining Room that will start between 11 - 11:30 AM.

What is the dress code?

Semiformal or dressy casual! (Suits, sundresses, "Sunday best", etc.)
