Hello lovely readers! 💕 Today, I’m beyond excited to share the enchanting story of Lin & Chih’s Asian American inspired wedding at the stunning Portofino Hotel & Marina in Redondo Beach. It was a day filled with love, culture, and incredible moments that perfectly showcased the couple’s unique journey.
Setting the Scene: Ocean Views and Coastal Charm 🌅 The day began with the most breathtaking views of the water along the coast. Portofino Resort Hotel is truly a gem with its amazing scenery, making it the ideal backdrop for Lin & Chih’s special day. The staff was incredible, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that every detail was perfect
A Blend of Traditions and Modern Elegance 🎎 Lin & Chih started their celebration with a traditional tea ceremony in the Ocean Room, which boasts the best view of the marina. The intimate ceremony was a beautiful nod to their heritage and a heartfelt way to honor their families.
A Seaside Ceremony to Remember 💍 Next up was the stunning ceremony on the seaside lawn. With the ocean as their witness, Lin & Chih exchanged vows in a truly magical setting. The lush greenery and coastal breeze added an extra touch of romance to their big moment.
Cocktails at Sunset 🍹 As the sun began to set around 6:30 pm, guests enjoyed cocktails by the seaside lawn. The golden hour provided the perfect lighting, making everything feel like a dream. It was a serene and beautiful transition from the ceremony to the evening festivities.
Dinner, Dancing, and Delightful Surprises 🎉 The celebrations continued in the Bayside Ballroom, where guests were treated to a delicious vegan buffet course. The sleek and elegant banquet room was the perfect setting for an evening of dining and dancing. Highlights included a 360 photobooth for fun and memorable snapshots, and a grand lion dancing parade that made for an unforgettable grand entrance!
Yummy Treats and Endless Entertainment 🍰 The night was filled with yummy, delicious treats and an open bar that kept the party going all night long. The bilingual entertainment ensured that both Vietnamese and Chinese & American guests felt included and enjoyed every moment. The music, dancing, and joyous atmosphere, while dancing on a cloudy floor made it a night to remember. They also embraced the audio voicemail rotary phone by FeteFone, 360 photobooth by Lotus Event Production, and bilingual Emcees DJ Mish and MC Wayne Yu (Cantonese).
