What to expect in Destination Wedding in Malaysia?

Being in a tropical country, Malaysia has been truly blessed with beautiful sunny weather all year long and we don’t have to worry much about the 4 seasons.

Thus, many people opt to move their wedding outdoors, instead of the traditional indoor ballroom or church ceremony.

The choices are limitless as we have many designs of canopies and tents to choose from.

From weddings on the many white sandy beaches of the beautiful islands of Malaysia to saying I Do On top of the Menara KL, overlooking the city line of Kuala Lumpur to even walking on the aisle, with the background of the mysterious tropical jungles- you name it, we have it!

However, you should keep in mind:

• Being in a foreign country, you need to consider their weather and their seasonal conditions- as in Malaysia, some locations might not be open as they’re experiencing seasonal monsoon.

• Sensitive to the local traditions and customs, make effort to learn about the history of the country.

• Consider the dates according to the country public holidays and any significant events of the country you’re planning to- for example, in Malaysia, we have multicultural beliefs; thus we have multiple long holidays such as Chinese New Year, Ramadan & Aidilfitri, as well as Deepavali, to name a few. Some venues might require advance bookings.

• Expect the wedding would have the wonderful flavour of cuisine as you’re spoilt for tasty Asian food.

• Last but not least, expect to have an extraordinary, joyful and memorable experience for your special day as it is truly an event to remember when you host your wedding abroad!
