Orange was the new pink for Y + B's intimate wedding in Hoi An — a place close to Y's heart and where B began his entrepreneurial journey.

Surrounded by their dearest friends from Israel, Palestine, China, the United States, Jordan, Iran, the United Kingdom, and Austria, their ceremony was a beautiful celebration of how love transcends all boundaries.

The celebration wove together traditions from different cultures: the Chinese Jiaobeijiu toast where everyone raised their glasses in unity, and Jewish customs including the chuppah, Ketubah reading, and the couple being wrapped in a tallit before receiving blessings in seven languages — a modern take on the Sheva Brachot. The ceremony concluded with B breaking the glass as we all cheered "Mazel Tov!"

There was plenty of romance and tears flowed during the vows. Y walked down the aisle to the Seikilos Epitaph — the world's oldest complete musical composition, discovered on an ancient tombstone in Turkey. Its timeless message resonates perfectly: "While you live, shine. Take joy in life, for it is brief."

Every moment was crafted with intention and meaning. It was truly one of the most thoughtful and beautiful ceremonies I've had the honor of officiating — a celebration where love conquered all.

The heat in central Vietnam is no joke - especially when you're getting ready for your wedding 🌴💒 though you'd never know it was an issue when you look at these amazing photos.

When I arrived at A's getting ready room to say hi and answer any last minute questions before the wedding, it felt like I'd stepped inside a sauna.

When I arrived at A's getting-ready room to say hi and answer any last-minute questions before the wedding, it felt like I'd stepped inside a sauna.ng care of the bride, the poor air conditioning was working overtime with all those people in one space..

The maintenance team explained that with so many people in the room, the AC was just overwhelmed, especially in Vietnam's intense heat.

Pro tip for destination weddings in warm climates:

Plan your pre-ceremony timeline strategically. Consider when photographers might transition to other shots outside the room, when hair/makeup can step out, and when you might want a few quiet moments to breathe (literally).

Even better? Book a second room for day use as your "escape pod" for that final 30-60 minutes. Let housekeeping refresh your original room while you cool down and center yourself before walking down the aisle.

A looked absolutely stunning as she was escorted down the aisle by her proud father. She and D had a beautiful ceremony surrounded by friends and family who travelled from Australia - and I'm super glad the air con challenge didn't drain her precious wedding day energy. ✨

If you're thinking about tying the knot in Vietnam and want on the ground advice and tips, drop me a line.

Thank you .vn for the incredible photos

These two humans cracked me up 🥰 They met in a pub in London years ago and became fast friends. Even though that friendship morphed into the L-word, they were too shy to tell each other. It took a mutual friend to give them a nudge the night before J departed on an extended adventure in Asia.

J was going to cancel the trip, but Y was having none of it. They agreed Y would meet J somewhere in Asia on his travels, and three months later, they reunited in Vietnam. It was here they decided to become a couple and where they enjoyed their first holiday together.

It seemed only natural that they'd returned to Vietnam for their wedding. As a bonus, it was a lovely central meeting point for guests from England and Australia. Their wedding was chilled and relaxed, and aside from the warm weather, everyone felt like they were in an English country garden.

Congratulations, my friends. It was an absolute pleasure.

PS: Don't you love Y's red shoes? Stunning. She told me she wanted a little pop of fun. And that just about says it all for Y + J.

Can you imagine yourself in red shoes by the beach? If so, get in touch, and we will make it happen.

Surprise elopement

G + M always wanted to elope. It felt more 'them. But not having their kids and parents with them didn't feel right either.

So they planned a surprise elopement in Danang during the annual family holiday. We planned everything in advance, told their parents to pack for a posh dinner in a swanky restaurant and it came together without a bitch.

If eloping or a small wedding sounds 'more you', get in touch. I can help.

Thank you for the beautiful images.

P + A are hosts nobody says no to - their BBQs and dinners are legendary. When they decided on Vietnam for their wedding, it was all about bringing that same vibe abroad.

Their ceremony? Laid-back, fun, and packed with heart. But here's where things got interesting...

Guests arrived to find hot beer sitting in the sun and no pre-made cocktails. Cue mad scramble for ice, eskies, and cocktail shakers. Cultural mix-up 101 - Vietnamese people typically drink beer over ice, and the resort was still learning about Western weddings.

Then there was the video/photo confusion - they assumed photography came with their video package. Spoiler: it didn't. Another last-minute dash for a photographer just an hour before the "I do's."

The takeaway? While P + A laughed it off and made their amazing memories, having cold beers and cocktails to welcome their guests who traveled to Vietnam for their wedding was really important to them, and I could see the disappointment on their faces.

If a Vietnam wedding is on your horizon, consider whether navigating these surprises yourself is how you want to spend your wedding day. Sometimes investing in a planner or coordinator with local know-how means you can focus on what really matters.

If you want cold beer and fancy cocktails on your wedding day in Vietnam, get in touch.

Who's this woman?

I'm Leanne, your celebrant and master of ceremonies in Vietnam. I've lived here for 13 years and have performed over 500 ceremonies. I help couples ditch the wedding stress back home for a meaningful celebration in paradise.

Many couples are opting for a wedding in Vietnam. Let's face it, the moment that ring adorns your finger, your wedding becomes public property. Everyone has an opinion, suggestion, or demand. Well-intentioned as they are, it can be overwhelming. It's enough to take the twinkle out of that sparkler on your finger. That's why more couples are choosing to please themselves and wed their way in one of the most beautiful and affordable parts of the world.

That's where I come in. I'm all about YOU. We make your ceremony your way (even if you're not sure where to start :) You don't need to worry, because I'll make it easy.

There's something pretty significant that happens between the dressing up, the walking down the aisle, and the big kiss. The vows you make are lifelong promises—a pretty big deal that should be memorable for all the right reasons.

My services include:

✔Wedding celebrant/officiant throughout Vietnam
✔Master of Ceremonies (MC) services
✔Vow renewal ceremonies
✔Elopement packages (for those intimate "just us" moments)
✔ Vow renewal packages (for all the milestones)
✔Micro wedding arrangements
✔Buddhist blessing ceremonies
✔Same-sex wedding celebrations

I've married people from all over the world—from lavish 200+ guest soirees to intimate elopements where it's just the three of us.

From our first chat through to meeting when you arrive, rehearsal, and the big day, I'm with you all the way, helping you breathe (trust me, lots of folks forget to).

PS: I don't plan large weddings because it eats up my celebrant energy, but I know all the top-quality operators and can connect you with the best in Vietnam.

Even if it's just a pea of an idea right now, drop me a line! Your dream Vietnam celebration awaits.
