Gentlemen: Stylish, elegant, summer cocktail suits, large open neck collared shirts, channeling Connery, Cain, Clooney, Keitel, and/or Bardem. Mr Shane Rochefort will be happy to assist if you’re up for having something special made up.
Ladies: Glamorous, as ever, though board walks will need to be negotiated, so look out on those heels.
In Chinese culture, Ang Pao are monetary gifts given during special occasions such as weddings. The red colour of the envelope signifies good luck and wards off evil spirits. The amount offered is intended to signify goodwill to the newlyweds. It is traditional to put brand new notes inside red envelopes with the amount of money contained in the envelope featuring at least one “8” (but no “4”s!) and ideally ending with an even digit.

Red Packets will be available on the day.
Aside from taxis, Pyrmont is also served well by the 443 Bus and Light Rail (John Street Square or Star Casino stops). If you are planning to drive, there are two main car parking options: The Jones Bay Wharf Car Park and The Star Casino. On-street parking is available, but is limited to one or two hours, and is strictly policed.
Elements of the celebration will be held outdoors, and given the forecast is looking “dramatic”, please bring an umbrella.
Surrounded by their dearest and nearest, Yan Li and Paul will re-affirm their commitment to one another at the spectacular Pirrama Park Headland. A special entrance composition by their super-talented friend Drew Crawford and his new project “I DO MUSIC” will mark the occasion…
From the celebration, we will saunter over to the harbour-nestled LuMi for a salon nourished by Federico Zanellato’s mingling degustation, to be accompanied by fine beverages and some beautiful words.
A salon is a gathering of people under the roof of inspiring hosts, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine their taste and increase the knowledge and worldliness of the participants through engaging conversation that pleases or to educates (“aut delectare aut prodesse est”) – adapted from Wikipedia.
The wedding will migrate between locations in Pyrmont, no further than a few hundred meters apart, but there may be a few stairs to negotiate. If any of this presents any concerns, let us know and we will arrange assistance.
There are many hotels in and near Pyrmont – check hotel booking websites like wotif or tablet hotels. For something a bit special, try The Darling or 1888.
