Ted, Marketing & Event Manager of Maison ES, says: “Reimagine Your Wedding Day to Embrace the Magic of a Lunch Wedding.”

Hello, bonjour, and 你好! Today, we’re going to talk about a beautiful, emerging trend in the world of weddings – the lunch wedding. A lunch wedding, as the name suggested, is a wedding ceremony and reception that takes place during the daytime, typically wrapping up by late afternoon. It’s a delightful twist on the traditional evening wedding, offering couples extra benefits and unique experiences.

Lunch weddings have become increasingly trendy, particularly amongst our younger clientele who enjoy breaking away from tradition Chinese night time banquet. The government regulations over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic had a huge contribution to the change of consumer behaviour and this phenomenon had made lunch weddings the norm for an extensive period of time. Most of our clientele these days would think lunch weddings are chic, modern, and offer a certain “je ne sais quoi” that makes them truly memorable.

Ted explains why you should consider a lunch wedding and here are some of the reasons:

1. It Fits Everyone’s Schedules: Lunch weddings are often more convenient for your guests, especially those with children. Events during the day allow for a more relaxed timing. There’s no need for guests, especially the elderlies, to stay up late into the night, and those who have early commitments the next day will certainly appreciate the schedule.

   

2. More Affordable: Lunch weddings can be more cost-effective. The cost of a wedding can add up quickly, but opting for a daytime event can help to keep your budget in check. Many venues and caterers offer more approachable rates for daytime events, allowing you to enjoy the same level of service and quality at a lower cost.
3. More Time to Celebrate: With a lunch wedding, your celebration begins early in the day, giving you more time to enjoy the company of your loved ones. Starting with getting ready in the morning, the ceremony, the lunch reception, and then possibly extending the celebration into the evening if you have a few party-goers on the guestlist.
   
4. Chill and Romantic Atmosphere: Lunch weddings tend to be less formal, creating a relaxed, romantic ambiance. This laid-back vibe can make your wedding feel more personal and intimate. Plus, a daytime wedding can still encompass all the elements of a traditional wedding, but the daylight and potential for outdoor settings lend themselves to a more relaxed, convivial atmosphere.
5. Less Stressful Planning: Generally, planning a lunch wedding can be less stressful. With fewer formalities to worry about, you can concentrate on enjoying the day. Also, vendors and venues are less likely to be booked up during the day, giving you more options and flexibility.
   
6. Easier Transition to Honeymoon: If you’re planning to leave for your honeymoon shortly after the wedding, a lunch wedding allows you to start your journey earlier. You won’t have to worry about late-night flights or accommodations and can start relaxing sooner.
