Two Temple Place
Heejeong & Andreas
12.09.2026
Overview
Heejeong and Andreas brought two families and three languages to Two Temple Place: Korean on one side, German and Greek on the other, and 90 guests, many of whom had never met. One house on the Embankment held the whole day, from the vows to the last song.
The ceremony took place in the Great Hall under the stained glass, with retro Korean love songs playing as guests found their seats and every word translated in a single booklet. Heejeong walked in to Gershwin, and they walked back out into real petal confetti on the front steps.
While everyone had drinks in the Lower Gallery, the Great Hall was flipped for dinner: two long tables, tall candles and soft peach florals. The welcome speech ended with a somaek toast, and the wedding cake was a long tray of cinnamon buns, which the couple cut together.
At ten o'clock, between band sets, a noodle station opened downstairs with the couple's own instant noodles and chopsticks for everyone. That was their idea, and it's exactly the kind of detail I love planning around.

Before the Guests
Heejeong arrived an hour early for quiet photos on the staircase and in the gallery, first with her mum and aunt, then with her bridesmaids as they came in. Andreas got ready with his groomsmen in Marylebone and arrived just before three.
A Ceremony in Three Languages
Cane-back chairs faced the stained glass in the Great Hall, with retro Korean love songs playing as guests sat down. The ceremony was in English, with Korean, German and Greek translations in one booklet handed out at the door.
Confetti on the Front Steps
Guests went down ahead of the couple and lined the steps, so Heejeong and Andreas walked out into real petals. Family portraits were kept quick, which left time for the two of them along the Embankment and by Temple station.
Dinner in the Great Hall
The room was flipped while guests had drinks downstairs: two long tables for 88, ivory linen, tall candles and peach and burgundy florals. The welcome speech ended with a somaek toast, and translation cards sat on every table for the speeches.
Cinnamon Buns and Noodles at Ten
Instead of a cake, the couple cut a long tray of cinnamon buns from Zeit für Brot. Midnight Compass opened the dancing with everyone on the floor rather than a solo first dance, and at ten the noodle station opened downstairs.
