In our information e-mail you will receive recommendations for how to book accommodation next to your wedding venue, as well as many other important information for planning your trip.

The wedding
Your wedding ceremony will be held by a private registrar approved by the authorities of Hong Kong.
The language of the ceremony is English. If you do not speak or understand English, you need an interpreter whose service can also be booked through our agency.

Please note: You will receive a certified and legalized/apostilled copy of your marriage certificate not directly on the day of the wedding ceremony, but about 3 weeks after your wedding by (registered) letter, or - if you wish - by DHL Express. The original document (without an apostill) will be given to you immediately after the wedding ceremony.

Legalization / Apostille:
To register the wedding in the most countries, you need a legalized marriage certificate with an apostill. Our local partners also offer this service and can send you a legalized marriage certificate(s) by registered mail or DHL Express.

If further legalization is required for the use of the marriage certificate in a particular country, our local partners also offer this service.
