“The most memorable part of our wedding was when we exchanged private vows. It was very emotional but unforgettable.”

— Fiona and Felix

In a fusion of tradition and modernity, Langdon Hall served as the enchanting backdrop for a wedding imbued with cultural significance and personal flair. This couple's celebration included a traditional Chinese tea ceremony in their Western-style affair, paying homage to their heritage while creating cherished moments with loved ones. Amidst elegant decor and loving exchanges, their special day epitomized warmth and joy, reflecting a commitment to family, community, and the enduring bonds of love with tradition and timeless elegance.

For Fiona and Felix incorporating a traditional Chinese tea ceremony was a priority during their wedding planning, honouring family traditions while creating a meaningful moment for their loved ones to share. Despite opting for a Western-style wedding, they ensured cultural traditions remained a central part of their day.

Langdon Hall, chosen for its stunning outdoor space and impeccable service, provided the perfect backdrop for their ceremony and reception. With 100 guests in attendance, including their closest friends and family, the venue's elegance and charm complemented their vision perfectly. Makeup and Hair by Joan from AGlow by Joan, along with photography by Jackson Huang from Ikonica Images, captured every moment with finesse.

Their wedding planner, Rainbow Chan, and Langdon Hall's coordinator, Mikayla, provided invaluable support throughout the planning process, ensuring a seamless and memorable event. A standout feature of their day was the inclusion of their beloved pup, Brixton, who served as the dog of honour.

Reflecting on their wedding day, the couple cherished the emotional exchange of private vows and the opportunity to relax and mingle with their guests during the reception. The atmosphere they aimed to create prioritized guest experience, fostering a warm and welcoming environment where everyone could enjoy delicious food and create lasting memories. Overall, their wedding was a beautiful blend of tradition, personal style, and joyful celebration, making it a memorable occasion for all.

“As we were visiting different venues, nothing stuck with us more than Langdon Hall. We have so many favourite shots.”

“We met 17 years ago at a tutoring center and have been inseparable ever since! Fast forward to today, and we’re married with 3 furbabies. Although this is a new chapter in our lives, our goal remains the same: to have fun and enjoy delicious food together. We are looking forward to more exciting travels in the future.”—Fiona & Feliex
