Taiwanese TV hosts Hank Chen and Lulu Huang held a star-studded wedding banquet at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Taipei, Taiwan, on Jan 25.
The Taiwanese media reported the couple hosted 70 tables of about 650 family members and friends.
Celebrity guests in attendance included Taiwanese TV hosts Jacky Wu, Matilda Tao and Kang Kang, actors Greg Hsu and Kai Ko, actresses Miao Ke-li and Chung Hsin-ling, singers Wang Leehom and Ricky Hsiao, as well as television producer Wang Wei-chung and his wife Lin Huei-chin.
Chen, 41, and Huang, 34, surprised their industry pals in September 2025 with news of their engagement. They registered their marriage a month later.
The couple were co-hosts of Taiwanese variety show Hot Door Night (2013 to 2025) alongside Wu, with the veteran TV host often teasing about matchmaking them.

Wu, 63, had joked at a press conference held during Taiwan’s Golden Bell Awards in October 2023 that he would give them a hongbao of NT$2 million (S$80,000) if they got married.
He was asked by the media about the hongbao soon after he entered the wedding venue on Jan 25. “That’s a small matter,” he said. “Talking about it would be rather mundane.”
Wu admitted that he originally intended to write a cheque for Chen and Huang, but recalled giving TV host Kid Lin a NT$1 million cheque as hongbao during Lin’s wedding in October 2023. He said it resulted in Lin rushing to the bank the next morning to cash the cheque.
So, Wu opted for a fund transfer this time and requested the couple’s bank account details.
He served as the wedding witness on Jan 25.
Despite co-hosting Hot Door Night with Chen and Huang for 12 years, Wu was unaware of their romance until they informed him of their marriage plans.
“They managed to nurture this relationship right under my nose, keeping me in the dark for so long,” he quipped. He added that their engagement was the most shocking news story in Taiwan’s entertainment industry in 2025.
