Their celebration unfolded like chapters in a book. On Friday evening, Monica and Inkoo honored their heritage with a Korean tea ceremony, a quiet yet powerful beginning surrounded by family. The evening moved into a traditional Korean dinner, where guests shared food and laughter before raising glasses at welcome drinks. It was more than a rehearsal dinner — it was a gentle weaving together of cultures, families, and friendships.

Guests later joined and gathered for welcome drinks, setting the tone for a weekend filled with love, laughter, and connection. The Henson, with its intimate spaces and romantic lighting, created the ideal backdrop. Whether it was the quiet moments of their tea ceremony or the joyful energy of the dance floor, the venue’s thoughtful details brought everything together seamlessly.
