Ao dai rental packages & prices

When you rent an ao dai from us, you're not just getting fabric—you're getting a complete outfit that moves with you through Vietnam. Every rental includes the silk ao dai itself (your choice of dozens of colours and styles), matching trousers (quan), and a conical hat (nón lá) to borrow. We fit everything to your body so it sits right for walking, sitting in a café, or standing in front of a camera. The price covers same-day delivery to your hotel or Airbnb in Hanoi, Hoi An, Saigon, or Da Nang.

The garment is yours for the day. You wear it, live in it, take photos in it, and return it whenever suits your schedule after your session. A small refundable deposit (or ID copy) secures your booking—that deposit comes straight back once the ao dai returns undamaged. If you want to upgrade your experience, you can add hair and makeup styling, a professional photoshoot with a local photographer, or both. Each tier is designed so you only pay for what you actually want.

We handle the logistics. You handle the memories. That's the deal.

The Rental only · $25 option is straightforward: you get the ao dai, trousers, and hat delivered to your hotel, fitted to your size, and ready to wear. This tier is built for independent travellers who want to explore on their own schedule—whether that's wandering through Hoi An's lantern-lit streets at dusk, posing for snapshots at a temple, or simply wearing something beautiful while you navigate a new city. You're free to find your own photographers (a friend, a stranger, your phone on a tripod) and shoot wherever the light catches your eye.

This is also the choice for people who are ao dai–curious but not sure yet. Rent for a day, see how it feels, walk around, get a sense of the garment and yourself in it. No commitment beyond the rental itself. Sizes run from XS to XXL, including tall and plus-size, so the fit is real—not a one-size-fits-most compromise.

Popular with solo travellers, small groups splitting the cost, and anyone who wants the authentic experience without the crew. You'll return the ao dai after your day; we'll pick it up from your hotel or you can arrange a time that works. Deposit back, ao dai back, and you keep every photo you took.

Add professional styling to your rental. The Hair & makeup · $65 tier brings a makeup artist and hair stylist to your hotel or Airbnb. They arrive, do a skin prep, apply makeup designed to last through heat and humidity, and style your hair to frame the ao dai—lashes, pins, whatever suits the look you're after. This isn't heavy-handed glam; it's a finishing touch that makes you feel polished and photo-ready without looking overdone.

Timing matters in Vietnam's climate. Our artists use long-wear products and techniques that hold through the day, so whether you're walking for three hours or sitting through a family dinner, you stay camera-ready. They coordinate with your fitting so the hair and makeup work together with the ao dai you've chosen. If you're booking a professional Photoshoot · $120 afterward, the styling is timed so you're at your best when the photographer arrives.

This tier appeals to travellers who want to feel dressed up, not just dressed—the kind of confidence that comes from knowing a professional has looked at you and made you look intentional. It's also popular with couples where one partner wants the full experience, or families where the mother or daughter wants that extra polish for the day's photos.

The Photoshoot · $120 tier is our most complete offering. We plan the route around the light, the landmarks, and the time of day when your neighbourhood looks its best. You're not herded through a studio; you're guided through your actual surroundings—the street you walked yesterday, the café where you had coffee, a temple steps away, a park bench with good light.

The photographer directs you—where to stand, how to move, what to do with your hands—so you're not thinking about technique, you're just being present in the ao dai. We shoot on a professional camera, and every photo is edited within 48 hours.

Couples especially choose this tier because the photographer captures both of you together: walking, laughing, holding hands in front of actual Hanoi or Hoi An. Families use it for graduation photos, reunion shots, or just because they want professional images from the trip that don't involve hiring a separate photographer or spending hours in a studio. The price is per person, so a couple books one session and each person's rental and styling are included.

The Couples & family · from $180 tier is built for groups. Everyone gets an ao dai—adults and children (sizes from about age 3 onwards), all coordinated in colours that work together. We deliver the full set to one address, fit everyone, and then layer in the extras: makeup for her, a photographer for both of you, or a full session with edited gallery. This is how engagement photos, anniversary portraits, and family reunion shots get made.

Proposals are a specialty. If you're planning to ask or planning to say yes, we can arrange the ao dai, the timing, the photographer, even flowers or a specific location. You get the moment dressed in silk, documented in light, and backed by someone who knows exactly how to capture what matters. The tier starts at $180 because it's flexible—we quote based on your group size, the ao dai styles you want, and whether you're adding photography and styling.

Children wear the ao dai with the same care as adults. It's not a costume on them; it's a garment that teaches them something about where they are. Families who rent together often find that the shared experience—the fitting, the styling, the walk through a city all dressed alike—becomes the memory they talk about for years. We've done multi-generational shoots, sibling reunions, and marriage proposals. The package grows to fit your moment.

Formal occasions and cultural events need different handling. The Weddings, Tet & graduation service doesn't have a fixed price because your day isn't fixed. A wedding might need ao dai for the bride, bridesmaids, mothers, and family members—different colours, different formality levels. Tet celebrations call for lucky reds and golds, traditional cuts, and early-morning fittings before ceremonies. Graduations are joyful, photo-heavy events where everyone wants to look sharp.

When you contact us about a formal event, tell us the date, the number of people, the occasion, and what you're imagining. We listen, ask questions, and give you a quote that reflects what you actually need—not a fixed tier that makes you compromise. Early-morning fittings are standard for ceremonies. Styling, photography, and group coordination are all available. We work with wedding planners, family groups, and cultural organisations to make sure the ao dai experience fits the day's meaning, not just the schedule.

These occasions are too important for generic pricing. We quote them individually so you get exactly what matters to you.

A small refundable deposit secures your booking—or we can hold your reservation with an ID copy instead. The deposit comes back in full once you return the ao dai undamaged. This protects both you and us: you know your size and colour are reserved, and we know the garment will come back. If you're renting in multiple cities across your trip, you can arrange returns and rerentals city to city without losing your deposit.

What's included in every rental: the ao dai, trousers, and hat; hotel or Airbnb delivery in Hanoi, Hoi An, Saigon, or Da Nang; a fitting so the garment sits right; and same-day service when availability allows. Add-ons—such as extra shooting hours, a second ao dai change mid-session, hair extensions, same-evening rush editing, printed albums, or flowers for proposals—are quoted on request. We don't build hidden costs into the base tier; if you want something extra, we price it clearly before you book.

The hotel delivery & same-day rental service is included in your rental price. You're not paying extra to have silk delivered to your door or to wear it the day you arrive. That's just how we work—we come to you, wherever you're staying, so you can start your day in ao dai without scrambling to a studio first.
