Genesis Wedding
Chinese Wedding Planners • Great Neck, NY
Serves the New York City metro area
About
Boutique planning studio led by Shirley Chau, a trilingual planner (English, Mandarin, Cantonese) who’s crafted weddings ranging from intimate 40-guest gatherings to grand celebrations for 800+ guests.
🍵 Editorial Take
Shirley of Genesis Wedding is one of the strongest Chinese wedding specialists in NYC. She's worked every Chinese banquet venue in town, and her wedding work has been featured in Brides.
Couples praise her deep expertise in Chinese wedding traditions and how patiently she guides those new to them. One groom who spoke no Chinese pulled off a full Chinese banquet because Shirley acted as translator and go-between with vendors. A Chinese American couple who came in unfamiliar with banquet customs credited Shirley with helping them navigate family dynamics without any stress. Another bride, also non-Chinese-speaking, said Shirley walked her through the proper customs at the tea ceremony with patience and care.
Shirley also runs Jelo Flowers & Decor, which means she's got a keen eye for design and aesthetics. Note that she only takes 3 full planning slots a year and caps total weddings at 15 to 20 annually, so book early.
