The Festivities

We are SO excited for you to celebrate with us 🎉! We can’t wait for you to see this beautiful city and venue. We’ve provided a ton of information and details on this page to help your planning experience be as easy as possible.

The wedding ceremony will begin Saturday, February 25 at InterContinental Da Nang. However, we've planned a full week of wedding festivities so plan on coming earlier!

The dress code is Beach Formal. We'll be starting with a breathtaking view in the La Maison garden overlooking the ocean, then moving the celebration to the Sơn Trà Peninsula beach garden. Get ready to look your best, party it up, and dance the night away!

We’d really appreciate solid or soft colors, so if you’d like some ideas, we created a Pinterest mood board to help!
