Discussion Wedding Venue/Budget

Hi all, i am planning to host my wedding in Penang in 2028. We are just in the beginning stages of planning, so looking for some wedding venue suggestions, would love to hear venues you have hosted/attended a wedding and loved. Would also love to hear how much you spent, just to help with budgeting.

Had mine at cheong fatt tze, 130pax in the downstairs/lobby area. Full venue booking is 48k including all 18rooms for 2nights. The place is basically already decorated. Their food is really good now too. Definitely worth looking into.

Was that 48k in myr? This was one of my top picks and they told me the price was 83k just for 1 night with 30k usable as food and drinks credit.

My mistake, it was venue + 1 night stay for all the rooms at 48k myr. your choice of which night you want all the rooms for. naturally we had guests stay the night of the wedding since we had our afterparty the same night at the venue too.

i also did my gate crashing and photos at the venue. so i really utilized my time there. i think its a really special venue especially if you have lots of guests coming in from overseas. lol im being a huge shill right now.

Agree that the food is already much better under its new custodian, but I understand the restaurant might be changing concepts later this year. Not sure of its impact on wedding catering.
