About

Goldpot Ceremony is a wedding officiant business based in San Jose, California.

I am honored to introduce myself as a trilingual wedding officiant, serving the vibrant and diverse community of the Bay Area. As a native speaker of Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, I possess a unique ability to seamlessly weave the beauty of these languages into your ceremony, ensuring that every word resonates with authenticity and inclusivity.

My background as a fluent speaker in these three languages allows me to connect deeply with couples from various cultural backgrounds, bridging the gap between tradition and modernity. With a heart rooted in the rich heritage of the Bay Area's communities, I stand ready to craft a ceremony that reflects your distinct love story, while incorporating the linguistic nuances that make it truly yours.

Your wedding day marks the intersection of two lives, and I am here to guide you through a ceremony that not only embraces your shared journey but also pays homage to the cultural tapestry that has shaped you. Let's work together to create a moment that transcends language, where your love shines brightly and captures the hearts of all who gather to witness your union.

Amazing Experience

Vivian and her team were amazing, Her attention to detail made my wedding planning that much more enjoyable. Not only was it a breath of fresh air to have a female officiant, but her ability to officiate my wedding in different languages helped us bring together the differences of our cultures and heritage, which made our families really happy.
Would highly recommend her to any of my friends!

Perfect service. Highly recommended!

Vivian was our officiant for our late July wedding at Nestldown. She is an extremely talented lady who made us feel at ease (almost like an extended family member) and crafted a funny and heartwarming speech. She impressed everyone with how easily she could transition from perfect English to Mandarin to Cantonese, and she knows how to say all the right words and hit the right notes. We couldn't have found a better officiant and feel very fortunate to have come across Vivian. She's amazing and would highly recommend her services.

Modern and eloquent Chinese ceremony

We loved having a female Asian officiant instead of the usual older male MC. Vivian speaks perfect Mandarin (plus Cantonese), so our non-English speaking older relatives could be included in the flow of the day. She also speaks perfect English and made the ceremony modern, funny and eloquent. Highly recommended.

Perfect choice!

I'm so happy I got Vivian to be my emcee! She was so naturally bilingual, didn't miss a beat and best of all, my grandparents were delighted to have someone who spoke their language at the wedding! I would highly recommend her to any of my friends.

Five Stars! Stress-free bilingual tea ceremony

Vivian was integral in coordinating my tea ceremony - I knew it was an important part of the day but literally had no idea where to start. She was flexible, knowledgeable and hosted the event with charisma. She was able to wrangle my large family (speaking cantonese, mandarin and english) with ease!

Made a very stressful event a breeze!

Coordinating family events has always been a nightmare for me - both my husband and I have big extended families across 3 continents and I was definitely NOT looking forward to the tea ceremony until I found Vivian! She was able to communicate well with our families in English, Mandarin and Cantonese which really came in handy with the older generation. The process went very smoothly and we were able to enjoy just being with family and embracing the moment. Would definitely recommend!
