wedding in hong kong

Posted by madxpat (268 days ago)

Hi there
Has anyone had a wedding or attended a wedding in HK which they thought was terrific?

My fiance and I are going to have our wedding in HK in March. We were thinking of having the ceromony on a junk then a dinner at a restaurant...we were thinking the FCC?

Does anyone have any ideas. R there any really good restaurants in HK to have a wedding - max 35 people?? I have only been living here for a few months so any ideas would be appreciated.

Has anyone been on board a junk for a wedding? Was it good or was the water a bit rough in the harbour?

having been on a junk sailing through the harbour, i wouldn't recommend it. it can get quite choppy.

why don't you have the junk sail out to a bay on one of the outlying islands. you could either have the ceremony on the junk or even on the beach.

we had our wedding in HK almost 8 years ago. we had our "party" at the happy valley race track. they only do it on "non-race" days. but the food was PHENOMENAL! it was done by the HK jockey club and was on par with the best buffets in hk.

we did a buffet and we chose "surf'n'turf". they give you the menu and then you can choose the number of dishes to suit the number of people. it was also one of hte cheapest places that i scouted out. back then, we paid $280/person + drinks. it was a great buffet. we are considering having a 10th anniversary party there in a couple of years.

another beautiful place is gold coast hotel. you can get married under a canopy overlooking the marina/sea. they also do the parties....

good luck! and have fun!

at the time that we got married, we didn't have the option of something out of hte ordinary. back then, you could choose a church or the civil union office. we chose the latter.

one great place to have wedding photos though, is outside legco building. with the arches in the background, they can look quite nice.

My friends had their wedding reception at a restaurant in Hong Kong Park. I didn't attend but saw their VDO. The place was nice. If you've been there, you may like it. The place was white and looked like a one-story house. The Tea Museum is nearby.

We had our wedding last year (October) on a junk. Went out toward Sai Kung - it was not choppy at all. We went on the white Jaspas junk, they decorated it wonderfully with white and pink balloons.

We got married at the Cotton Tree Marriage Registry followed by a Jaspas junk. It was great fun and good value (HK$550 per person including food and drinks). We paid extra for flowers and balloons but they did a great job with decorating the boat.

Hi madxpat
We had the civil ceremony at the Cotton Tree Drive Registry and the reception at the Jaspas Junk. Japas charged HK$ 550 per person - food, beverages were included we also paid something extra for some decoration (for the flowers, balloons were included).
Just noticed MAWU's post...
