We didn’t have one and we have no regrets!
What we did instead – overseas pre-wedding photoshoots (since we were travelling in, might as well plan for photoshoots) and an intimate private lunch for 20pax with tea ceremony
Why we didn’t want a wedding banquet:
– Didn’t feel the need to
– Our parents didn’t insist on us having one
– We prefer intimate gatherings where we can connect and talk to each of our loved ones
Why we chose a private lunch (for 20pax) and tea ceremony
– We still wanted to show respect to our parents and those closest to us by offering tea to them
– And they are the ones who we want to witness our solemnisation
What we did:
– Booked a private room for:
– Solemnisation
– Tea ceremony
– Teochew lunch for 20pax: we love their food and we got to enjoy our meal
– Flew off for our honeymoon the next day!
Do you think a wedding banquet is a must?
