Common questions

What vendors do I need for a Chinese wedding in Aspen?

Often a planner, a caterer experienced with banquets, a photographer, and help with tea-ceremony details. Post for any of these on their own or together.

Which Aspen venues accommodate a Chinese wedding banquet?

Look for larger event spaces in Aspen or the wider Roaring Fork Valley capable of hosting a multi-course banquet for your guest count. Consider venues with a spacious ballroom or customizable dining areas that can be arranged for a traditional round-table setup and tea ceremony rituals. Ensure the kitchen facilities are suitable for preparing specialized dishes.

What's the best time for a Chinese tea ceremony in Aspen?

Timing the tea ceremony around Aspen's seasons is key for guest and vendor travel. During peak winter or summer, allow extra travel time for participants coming from outside the immediate area. A mid-day ceremony often works well, preceding the main banquet, but can be adapted based on your schedule and venue availability.

Can Aspen photographers capture traditional Chinese wedding attire?

Local photographers experienced with cultural events in Aspen can beautifully document traditional Chinese attire such as a qipao or cheongsam. Discuss specific shots you desire, including details of the double-happiness symbols and the vibrant red and gold colors. They can suggest scenic Aspen backdrops that complement your traditional garments.

What is a qun kwa?

A qun kwa is a traditional Chinese wedding dress, often a two-piece ensemble consisting of an embroidered jacket and skirt. Typically made of silk and adorned with intricate gold and silver embroidery, it is worn by the bride, especially during the tea ceremony. It symbolizes good fortune and happiness for the couple.
