The Hong Kong Jockey Club will hold its fourth Wedding Fair at Happy Valley Racecourse on Sunday 22 April, giving couples-to-be a chance to view some featured wedding venues with staff on hand to explain the characteristics of each venue and the special banqueting services offered by the Club. Apart from collecting valuable wedding information at the fair, visitors will be able to pose for photos with a pair of Shetland ponies, one of the unique features of the Club’s wedding service.
More than a dozen other exhibitors have been invited to provide a one-stop-shop for wedding-related services, including venue and stage decoration, wedding gowns, jewellery and accessories, skincare services, photography and celebrant services. The exhibitors will provide a series of enticing offers to the couples.
The highlight of the fair is a wedding gown show, with runway models demonstrating all the latest trends. Couples-to-be can also enjoy a preview of the latest wedding stage effects. Talks on venue decoration, Japanese-style make-up demonstration and tips for planning a dream wedding are also being arranged. Other not-to-be-missed features include a star photographer revealing the recipe for a chic wedding album.
The Wedding Fair will run from 12:00 noon until 7:00 pm, and a pair of Shetland ponies will be at the racecourse to welcome guests from 3:00 pm to 4:15 pm. Photo-taking with the ponies is free, but will be on a first come, first served basis. Registration must be made in advance at the guest reception desk, starting at noon.
There are 12 banquet venues at Happy Valley and Sha Tin Racecourses, providing a range of flexible sizes to suit either Chinese-style or Western-style wedding banquets of different scales. For Chinese-style banquets, arrangements from 10 to 26 tables can be accommodated at each of the venues.
Interested couples may reserve tickets by phone at a price of HK$50 per couple. A free shuttle bus service between Happy Valley Racecourse and Admiralty MTR station will be available during the fair.
