On the morning of the wedding, the groom and his family will traditionally visit the bride and her family.

A popular location for your wedding reception is a restaurant. This will be a great celebration with family and friends. A band will play lively Vietnamese music as you go from table to table, greeting your guests and receiving gifts and good wishes from them. Vietnamese cuisine is both varied and delicious, and a wonderful banquet is usually finished with generous helpings of strong, sweet coffee.
