Head Chef (Wedding Hall)

Set to open in 2025 in Ho Chi Minh City, the venue is envisioned as Vietnam’s first- ever 5- star wedding hall, redefining the standard for wedding and banquet services in Southeast Asia. At the heart of this vision is a premium culinary experience that matches the elegance of the space itself.
