Let’s face it, wedding planning and throwing your wedding reception does not come cheap. These days with the rise of living costs, inflation, and GST, most hotels and wedding venues have increased their rates per person or per table.
Are weddings a good investment? Financially, maybe not. Many couples find themselves pressured to throw an extravagant wedding reception in the hope of keeping up with the Joneses’, but in reality, may find themselves trying to recuperate their finances after the wedding is over.
Some couples throw all their life savings into the wedding, rack up credit card debt, and withdraw a personal loan to have the wedding of their dreams. Don’t get us wrong though, a personal loan is a great financial tool to fund your wedding if you can afford the repayment over the tenure period.
To help you plan a wedding that you can afford and that can fit within your budget, here are a few tips to consider:
- Have a dry dinner with alcohol-free drinks. If your reception must absolutely have alcohol, consider keeping it to a limited bar with a few options such as beer and wine only.
- Instead of a full-blown dinner, consider throwing a brunch or tea-time reception instead.
- Is a ballroom full of guests you barely even know really your dream wedding? How about an intimate dinner reception with your closest family and friends instead? That reduces your headcount drastically and you’ll have a better time!
We’ve also done some research of our own, and here are the top wedding venues in KL with packages on a budget.

The package also includes food, pelamin/backdrop, decorations, basic audio and cooling systems and even parking space. There are three tiers of packages available: Silver, Gold, Platinum – each with their own price and offerings. The higher the tier, the more expensive the package (obviously).
