Making Traditions Shine

Start your celebration the night before with the enchanting hair combing ceremony – this intimate ritual, performed by a happily married woman, sets the tone for your journey. The Chater Room's elegant marble foyer and rosewood-panelled interiors provide the perfect setting for such cherished moments. Come morning, traditional door games fill your home with laughter as the groom proves his devotion through clever challenges set by bridesmaids.

Weaving Wedding Blessings

When planning your hair combing ceremony, choose your elder guide wisely – someone whose happy marriage will inspire your own. Arrange your sacred items with care: dragon phoenix candles, mirror, scissors, red string, and cypress leaves, alongside sweet offerings of rice balls, lotus seeds, and dates. Each comb stroke carries powerful wishes – for lifelong marriage, abundant blessings, descendants, and harmony, while pomelo leaves fill the air with promise. While traditionally held at home, many couples now embrace the comfort of our hotel suites as an alternative setting.

Creating Your Lucky Moments

Red envelopes are wonderful wishes wrapped in auspicious colours! Choose even numbers (eight is extra lucky!) and present them at picture-perfect moments, especially the tea ceremony.Speaking of which, our sunlit Function Rooms offer the perfect tea ritual setting for beautiful connections with family– each carefully served cup and respectful bow strengthens bonds.

Your Perfect Celebration

Make your banquet truly special with thoughtfully planned seating arrangements – Double Haven's grand space accommodates over 400 guests, perfect for bringing families together! Toast to love with our signature Chinese wedding menus, crafted by master chefs from our contemporary restaurant. Starting with you and your beloved, then spreading the joy through your family circle. Remember, these aren't just customs, they're opportunities to make magical memories!

Planning Tips to Remember

Keep your celebration bright by avoiding white, often reserved for more sombre occasions. Choose auspicious numbers for gifts and tables, steering clear of ‘four’. Our experienced event planners can guide you through these traditions while customising every detail to your preferences. It’s lucky to stay until the final farewell to share in every precious moment – especially when celebrating against the backdrop of Double Haven's stunning terrace overlooking the Sha Tin Racecourse.
