If you want an amazing wedding but not the stress of planning it, and have a budget of US$2 million to work with, then the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong’s new “A Legendary Wedding” package is the one for you.
The service encompasses all the planning for a wedding of up to 200 guests; hair and make-up services for the bride; the honeymoon and more, so all you and your fiancée have to do is sit back and enjoy the process.
Step 1 — Meet with the wedding planner

Hong Kong-based wedding planners, Marriage Maestros, have ample expertise in creating stunning weddings in Hong Kong and around Asia, and are on board from the start to turn your vision into reality.
Step 2 — The dress

If the bride needs help looking for a dress, the package includes an exclusive appointment with UK-based couturier Suzie Turner, with the gown incurring an additional cost. One of her masterpieces includes the Vow gown, where every letter of the couple’s vows is hand stitched onto the bodice, matched with a sweetheart neckline and a skirt made of 150m of hand ruched silk tulle.
Step 3 — The jewels

Also part of the service is a priority appointment with Michelle Ong and her luxury jewellery brand Carnet, in case you want some eye-catching jewellery to complete your outfit (also at an additional cost). Michelle’s designs are inspired by nature, depicting flowers and other scenes in intricate creations paved with diamonds and precious stones.
Step 4 — The bachelorette

The maid-of-honour can rest easy knowing that A Legendary Wedding can help with the bachelorette party. The bride-to-be and her bridesmaids can start by sipping champagne and getting mani-pedis at The Nail Bar, before capping of the evening with a sleepover at the Deluxe Harbour View Room.
Step 5 — The pre-game dinner

A Legendary Wedding includes festivities before and after the wedding, cumulating to four days of quality time with your family and friends.
Just before the wedding, the hotel can arrange an intimate gathering for the couple and their immediate family with a dinner at the two Michelin star Caprice, seated at the chef’s table. Alternatively, if the couple wants a quiet moment to themselves before it all starts, they can escape for a Chinese meal at Lung King Heen, which has been awarded three Michelin stars.
The couple can also relax with daily treatments at the Spa at Four Seasons, during the four days before and after the wedding.
Step 6 — The big day

Every aspect of the day, be it the food, decoration, wedding favours or entertainment, is part of the deal. The team at Marriage Maestros will work their magic at either the Grand or Harbour View Ballroom—collaborating with other vendors such as florist Gary Kwok to decorate the space.
Marriage Maestros will also arrange the hair and make-up team for the bride and her bridesmaids; book musicians to provide live music throughout the day; and even organise for a master of ceremonies if needed.
The hotel’s executive Chinese chef Chan Yan Tak and executive chef Andrea Accordi will work together for a menu featuring both Western and Chinese elements. Guests can dine on creations such as suckling pig served with caviar, risotto with black truffle, or an exquisite dish of marinated seafood with a citrus dressing.
The hotel’s pastry chef Ringo Chan is in charge of the dessert course and guests will be treated to something extraordinary, such as an enchanted forest scene recreated at the table from a variety of desserts. Miniature red velvet cakes are decorated to look like pebbles, mushrooms are recreated with pieces of chocolate and cream, while chocolate dome is filled with an indulgent cherry trifle.
Head sommelier Sebastien Allano will select the best wines to go with the meal, such as a Louis Dubosquet Millesime Blanc de Blancs champagne from 2005.
No wedding is complete without dancing and once the formal part of the day is over, a DJ will step in to provide music that will get people to the dance floor, while mixologists from the hotel’s Blue Bar will create cocktails to keep the drinks flowing.
Step 7 — The post-game brunch

Step 8 — The honeymoon

The dream doesn’t stop with the wedding and the new couple can start their new life as husband and wife by stepping into a private jet and heading to a resort for a five-night stay at a luxurious villa, from a selected list of Four Seasons resorts across Asia.
