Selecting a wedding venue is often one of the biggest headaches of any bridal couple as it needs to be finalised quickly, especially if your wedding falls on a popular date or a weekend. At the same time, often couples do not want to secure a venue with a deposit so quickly in case something better comes up during the preparation period of their wedding. Hence, it is important to try to set aside some time to research and survey hotels in the early part of your marriage preparation to try to view as many options possible to find the right venue for you and your wedding theme.
Hotels are often a hugely popular choice as they provide the right ambiance for weddings with softly lit chandeliers, plush carpeting, beautifully decorated ballrooms and packages which usually come with a bridal suite for the happy couple to spend the night in.

What sort of information do you need?
hi, im going to have my wedding day on 29th May 2009 (Saturday),
we try to look for some budget banquet ..anything hotel or restaurant recommended?
Hi, I booked Bankers Club for my own wedding and found it a very nice place that fitted into my budget. However, it only caters for small weddings. Perhaps you might want to try checking with them or smaller restaurants
I am looking for a place which accomodates around 5-8 tables, lunch time and it would be good if I can have a private room (in the restaurant) or the whole restaurant by ourselves. Budget is approximately RM 1.2 K. Any recommendation ? Wouldn’t to take a garden style as well. Thanks
Hi,
I am looking for a lunch wedding venue.. a simple one but must be either a private room or section. Budget about RM 1 K per table. Any recommendation ?
Cheers
Hi Karen, thanks for your mail. With RM1k per table, you have quite a few options available to you in the form of hotels or restaurants. Perhaps you could consider doing it in a small cosy restaurant such as Courtyard, Passion Road, Bankers Club or The Smokehouse. I’m not sure if these places do lunch but they do have pretty and elegant settings for a small and intimate wedding reception. Hope it helps! Ohterwise, please feel free to drop me an email!
Hi Caren, most hotels should be able to provide you a private room for a small reception. With so few tables, I doubt it is possible to have the whole restaurant although you could probably request for a section of the restaurant to be closed off for your function. Why not try Cyberview Lodge? They do nice garden weddings and their Chinese or Italian restaurant should be able to accommodate a small dinner party. Other alternatives include Courtyard Gardens, Passion Road, Top Hat and any of the bungalow themed restaurants around KLCC area. Hope it helps
Hi,
I love the cosy bungalow themed restaurants. You would know any that can accomodate 150pax with a budget of RM10K – RM12K
i am looking for look for some budget banquet in Hotel with cocktail reception in KL. Any recommendation? i need a big ballroom with can accommodate ard 30~40 tables.
Hi Mandy – What sort of budget do you have in mind? Most big hotels have ballrooms that can accommodate 30 to 40 tables. You could try slightly older hotels such as Sunway Resort, Legend Hotel, Parkroyal Hotel or others. Most will have a cocktail reception as part of their package.
my budget is around RM 800~RM1000 per table. With this limited budget, what sort of hotel you would recommend?
Hi Mandy, with that budget, you should be able to find quite a few hotels. Give Legend Hotel, Eastin Hotel, Parkroyal or Hotel Istana a try. However, do bear in mind that with taxes and surcharges, it may work out to slightly over RM1000 per table.
Hi Jessica – Have you tried bungalow restaurants such as Courtyard or Passion Road? They might be able to work out something around your budget with a Western type dinner.
