Top 10 Wedding Venues in KL & Selangor:
Budget, Catering & Planning Tips

Planning your wedding in KL or Selangor? It’s exciting… and yes, a little overwhelming. One of the biggest decisions you’ll make is choosing the perfect wedding venue — the backdrop for your vows, your photos, and that very first meal as a married couple.

From sunlit glasshouses and lush garden spaces to grand ballrooms and cozy studios, KL and Selangor have something for every couple. To help you navigate all the options, we’ve rounded up 10 wedding venues couples are raving about, along with tips on budgeting, catering, and planning — everything you need to know and do before you say “I do.”

First things first…

Before you even start scrolling through dreamy venues or tasting fancy cakes, the first thing you need to confirm is your budget. Knowing your budget upfront makes everything else — from venue choice to catering style and décor — so much easier to plan.

Why Budget Comes First

  • Prevents overspending.
  • Helps narrow down options. 
  • Guides priorities.

1. How to Plan Your Wedding Budget?

  1. Decide your total budget — your top number should include everything: venue, catering, décor, photography, entertainment, and extras.
  2. Factor in hidden costs — service charges, rentals, overtime, or extra décor items can add up. Always ask for a full breakdown.
  3. Break it down — a simple guide is:
    • Venue & Catering: 50–60%
    • Photography & Videography: 10–15%
    • Décor & Flowers: 10–15%
    • Entertainment & Miscellaneous: 10–15%

2. Location matters (more than you think)

You might love a venue, but will your guests love getting there?
Venues close to KL city centre, major highways, or popular areas like Mont Kiara and KLCC are always a win. Bonus points if there’s ample parking or nearby hotels for out-of-town guests.

3. Guest Count

This one’s important. Whether you’re planning a small, intimate wedding or a big celebration with hundreds of guests, make sure the space feels just right — not too cramped, not awkwardly empty.

Some venues shine with:

  • 30–80 guests (perfect for cosy celebrations)
  • 100–200 guests (a popular sweet spot)
  • 300+ guests (for the full-on wedding bash)

4. Don’t forget the practical stuff

Pretty venues are great, but also check for:

  • Air-conditioning (with Malaysia’s climate, trust us on this 😅)
  • A bridal or holding room
  • Sound system and lighting
  • Easy access for elderly guests

Quick Tips

  • Consider smaller or weekday venues if you want to save.
  • All-inclusive packages can simplify planning and help you stick to your budget.
  • Make a “must-have” vs “nice-to-have” list so you spend on what really matters.

What Kind of Wedding Are You Dreaming Of?

YOUR IDEAL WEDDING CATERING

Let’s be honest, No matter how beautiful the venue is, the food is a big deal at weddings.

Whether you’re going for a traditional menu or something more modern, make sure your catering matches your venue’s layout and vibe. When food service flows smoothly, guests notice — in the best way. 

When choosing a wedding venue, the catering options are just as important as the space itself. Here’s what to think about:

1. In-House vs External Catering

Some wedding venues have their own catering teams, which can make life easier — they know the kitchen, the layout, and the timing. Others let you bring in your own caterer, which is great if you have a dream menu or a favourite chef in mind. Either way, make sure the venue can accommodate your choice smoothly.

2. Halal Catering & Dietary Options

Many couples search for halal wedding catering in KL — and rightly so. But don’t forget to also think about other dietary needs: vegetarian, gluten-free, or allergies. A good caterer will help you customise your menu so everyone leaves happy.

3. Cuisine Choices

Wedding food doesn’t have to be boring. Popular options include:

  • Malay – classic and flavourful
  • Chinese – traditional banquets or fusion twists
  • Western – plated service or buffet-style
  • Fusion – mix and match for something unique

 

Types of catering

Here are the common styles you can choose from — each giving a slightly different experience for you and your guests: 

a. Buffet Catering

Great for weddings where you want a more social, friendly atmosphere, and it’s super flexible for different crowd sizes.

 

b. Banquet Service

More formal and ideal if you’re planning a grand wedding dinner that feels elegant and picture‑perfect with beautifully plated dishes.

 

c. Individual Serving

Individual servings bring out that fine‑dining vibe. Each guest gets their own plated course served to them — great if you want everything to feel tidy and special.

 

d. Centerpiece Selection

This is a fun twist — dishes are beautifully presented on the table on large platters for everyone to share. The big reveal is always a crowd‑pleaser and a great seed for conversation among guests. 

 

e. The Green Banquet

Perfect for vegetarian or plant‑forward weddings. These menus are crafted with fresh ingredients and designed to delight every palate — even those who aren’t vegetarian.

 

f. The Fusion Morsel/ Canapes Catering

Looking for something a little different? These are bite‑sized delights — think classy cocktail bites and finger foods that are perfect for cocktail hours, pre‑wedding mingles, or modern wedding vibes.

You can also add rental equipment (like canopies, tables, chairs, coolers, etc.) to your catering package — so everything from décor to dining feels coordinated and stress‑free.

And remember — pairing the right catering style with your venue (whether it’s a garden, glasshouse, or ballroom) helps the day feel seamless — and delicious.

At the end of the day, choosing your wedding venue is about more than just the space — it’s about creating the perfect atmosphere for your big day. Think of it as the backdrop for your memories, your photos, and the start of your married life together.

 

Here are a few things to keep in mind as you narrow down your wedding venue options:

√ Align with your vision – Are you dreaming of a sunlit glasshouse, a lush garden, or a grand ballroom? Pick a wedding venue that naturally fits the vibe you’ve been imagining.

 

 

√ Consider your guest list – Small and intimate? Medium-sized? Or a full-on celebration with hundreds of loved ones? Make sure your wedding venue feels just right — cozy enough for connection, spacious enough for comfort.

 

√ Mind your budget – There’s a wedding venue for every budget, from chic studios and garden spaces to luxurious ballrooms. Think about where you want to spend and what matters most to you.

 

√ Plan for catering – Food is a huge part of the day! Check which wedding venues offer in-house catering, which allow outside caterers, and which style of service works best — buffet, plated, or something fun like shared centerpiece dishes.


Every wedding is unique, and the best wedding venue is the one that checks all your “must-haves” and sparks that feeling of “yes, this is the one!”

Frequently Asked Questions About Wedding Venues

1. What is the average cost of a wedding venue in KL?

The cost really depends on the type of wedding venue, its location, and what’s included.

  • Small studios or intimate spaces might start around RM5,000–RM10,000.
  • Mid-sized glasshouses or garden wedding venues usually range from RM10,000–RM25,000.
  • Luxury ballrooms and large event halls can go from RM25,000 upwards, especially if it includes catering and décor.

Keep in mind: some wedding venues are all-inclusive, while others may charge separately for tables, chairs, décor, and catering.

It depends on the venue. Always double-check with the wedding venue before booking — it’s better to ask upfront than face surprises later.

Absolutely! Glasshouses are stunning for evening weddings, especially with good lighting. Just be mindful of a few practical things like photo lighting, temperature control, and outdoor elements such as mosquitoes. 

Popular wedding venues in KL & Selangor get booked 9–12 months in advance, especially for weekends and peak seasons (June, August, December). Smaller or less well-known venues might have a shorter lead time, but it’s always safer to plan early to secure your dream date.

Many wedding venues do include basic tables, chairs, and linens, but it varies. Some venues only provide the empty space, leaving décor, furniture rentals, and styling entirely up to you.

Think about your wedding vibe first: do you want natural and outdoorsy, modern and minimal, or grand and formal? Then match the wedding venue to your vision, guest list, and budget. Visiting a few venues in person usually helps you feel which space is “the one.”
