With help from planner Aly Armstrong, the space came together beautifully for the ceremony which was officiated by Darian Kovacs. “He was hip and energetic,” say the couple, adding, “he kept the ceremony fun, entertaining and lighthearted throughout.” Classical and contemporary music by Musical Occasions’ live string quartet added some understated elegance while Dawna and Eugene exchanged their vows.

True to Chinese tradition, guests were treated to an indulgent five-star seafood and dessert buffet following heartfelt speeches from the wedding party including Eugene’s brother, Dawna’s twin and her older sister. Afterwards, the couple took to the dance floor—a white floor upon which the couples’ initials were monogrammed, designed and installed by Upright Décor—with a magical first dance to “Back at One” sung by Ruel Morales. The guests danced until dawn with late-night snacks and drinks free-flowing.
