🫖 The Tea
Couples commonly say Shirley and her team bring creativity, thoughtfulness, and clarity to their weddings. Reviewers highlight how her fluency in Cantonese and Mandarin and familiarity with Chinese family dynamics made communication smooth, especially for couples juggling bilingual families or traditional tea ceremonies alongside Western celebrations. She’s known for stepping in seamlessly, acting as translator, tea ceremony MC, and even on-the-spot problem solver (like sewing a ripped dress mid-reception). Clients love her blend of professionalism and warmth, saying she makes elders feel respected while keeping modern touches elegant. Do note that she only takes a limited number of weddings each year, so her calendar books up fast.
