A wedding celebration deserves a refined, meaningful space. The wedding day is one of the most important milestones in a couple’s life — a sacred occasion to celebrate love and unity. It’s also when both families gather to welcome guests and share in the joy of the newlyweds. Choosing a proper venue is crucial to make this day memorable and stress-free.
What is a wedding reception ?
In traditional Vietnamese culture, a full wedding includes various ceremonies such as the engagement, bride procession, and family meetings. Among them, “lễ thành hôn” (wedding reception) refers to the official celebration held after the bride has been welcomed into the groom’s home — often used in Northern Vietnam. In the South, it’s commonly known as “lễ tân hôn.”
This is the main reception, often written on the wedding invitation, and represents the formal celebration hosted by both families to greet relatives, friends, and colleagues.
Why modern couples prefer wedding receptions at restaurants
In the past, receptions were held at home, with family members handling all arrangements — from cooking to decorations. Guests came in simple attire, and the event was intimate yet informal.
Today, most couples choose to hold their wedding at restaurants, where they can enjoy:
- Beautifully decorated spaces
- Professional catering and service
- No hassle of setup or cleanup
- Elegant atmosphere where guests dress up and feel honored
Especially for couples living in apartments or smaller homes, hosting a wedding at a venue with full service is far more practical and enjoyable.
Is a restaurant suitable for a small wedding?
Absolutely. Not every couple wants a large, lavish wedding. Sometimes, an intimate celebration with only close friends and family is much more meaningful. In these cases, a restaurant with private rooms and personalized service is the perfect fit — more comfortable and elegant than a home setup, yet more exclusive than a large banquet hall.
