Anyone having the Tea Ceremony at banquet venue?

[sm85]

Hi, I am urgently looking to hire someone to coordinate my tea ceremony i.e guide my relatives through the procedures and customs for an hour or two before my banquet.

Does anyone know of someone I can contact? I feel that an outsider to direct the whole thing is more neutral and both our sides aren't familiar with the tea ceremony procedures.


Thanks!

Are tea ceremonies compulsory?

Is this thread still active?

I would like to find out the procedures of having a tea ceremony, solemnization and hotel lunch banquet on the same day. Do we do the solemnization or the tea ceremony first? Is it weird to have the tea ceremony first before the solemization because we are not legally husband and wife yet before serving tea to the elders.

Hi @angelonearth don't worry you can do the tea ceremony first. It won't be awkward because in Chinese traditions, after your husband has picked you up from your house you are considered married already, ROM ceremony is for legal procedure only.
