Dai Kam Jie (Bride’s Chaperone) 大妗姐

Click here for a List of Modern Dai Kam Jie

The Chinese traditional practices are slowly forgotten with every generation. Many Chinese couples choose to have more Westernized weddings because they have very little knowledge about the way to conduct a proper wedding in their culture. There are too many rules, some even differ with the specific dialect. Hence hiring a wedding chaperone would definitely help guide the family members in organizing the traditional proceedings accordingly. He/ she will remind you of the do’s and don’ts to make sure you conduct the ritual correctly for a happy, abundant and fulfilling marriage. 

However avoid engaging a DaiKam/ Dai Kum who loves to steal the show, or one who is not so knowledgeable. If you have witnessed them in action before during previous weddings or from your personal experience, can you leave a few words here?

“We would personally recommend our Dai Kum Jie (大妗姐). She’s really trained, did her job in addressing the families & ancestors really well and she managed to pull out a good show by getting the bridesmaids & groomsmen to join in her chants. We personally do not have a good impression on lady chaperones but Anna totally changed our mind no doubt. Need to book her fast, as many have feedback that she’s fully booked for most of the dates. Anna jie is one dai kum jie we truly respect and all of the family members including heng dai jimuis loves her. She’s not bossy & gets along well with everyone 🙂 She will ask for meet up first to see if you are satisfied with her or not.”
