What to Expect
No matter if you're getting married soon or in a long-term marriage, you'll learn something new about traditional Chinese marriages when you meet Jenny Zheng! Finding her calling after a happenstance meeting with wedding planners, Jenny has been running the shop for over 20 years, and has become an expert on Chinese marriage traditions, down to the minute differences between dialect groups. Imagine her joy when customers return years later - sometimes with children in tow - to thank her for her work!
