Crystal Palace

  • Wedding Reception | 2 August 2008 | Phuong & Oley | Crystal Palace, Canley Heights, Sydney

    Reception for 350 guests held at the Crystal Palace in Canley Heights . This Vietnamese and Chinese couple were absolutely delightful to work for – they both have a charming, friendly nature that created a deep warmth which radiated throughout the whole venue.

    It was a very lovely reception with family and friends helping make the evening very special for Phuong and Oley. Phuong’s uncle officiated over the reception as the Master of Ceremony and later contributed to the atmosphere by playing keyboards and singing a few songs.

    As with most Vietnamese/Chinese receptions, guests were treated to a ten course banquet. Between courses the guests were kept entertained by Phuong and Oley performing their bridal waltz and various brackets of open dancing which consisted of a blend of Laos, Chinese and Western music. A highlight of the evening was when Phuong’s uncle asked Oley to kiss his bride – well what can I say, the kissed lasted for nearly three and a half minutes!!! (see photo below)

    At the end of the evening it was party time with everybody up and dancing to Phuong and Oley’s retro favourites. On all accounts, a very enjoyable evening was had by all. Phuong and Oley will be having a delayed honeymoon in Europe and New York. A beautiful couple who are very much in love and deserve every happiness the world has to offer.
