Your wedding day is a magical celebration, but the planning and budgeting process behind it can be quite challenging. Despite current perceptions, a destination wedding doesn’t have to break the bank, in fact, it can sometimes save you some monetary heartache, as compared to hosting your wedding in Singapore.

In previous issues, we have gone across the causeway to Johor Bahru and found several banquet venues that will cut down your expenses, but not your celebration. This month, we go deeper into Malaysia to discover stunning venues in Kuala Lumpur (KL) – a convenient 1-hour plane ride away from Singapore.

In this issue, we explore Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur. Situated in the heart of downtown KL along Jalan Sultan Ismail Street, this 5-star hotel provides couples with lavish wedding packages, stylish decorations and the characteristic Sheraton hospitality. These perks aside, you can kick start your honeymoon vacation immediately in Kuala Lumpur. Read on to discover what is in store for you at Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur!

4. Go for contemporary vibes at the Mezzanine Floor (@M)

For couples seeking a cosy affair for their wedding celebration, the Mezzanine Floor (@M) at Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur is designed to promote family togetherness. This newly renovated space, @M, has a plush, sleek and sexy design. Guests first enter the spacious welcoming lounge, home to a statement-making petal-shaped chandelier, which makes a great spot for guests to mingle and interact over cocktails. To further heighten the contemporary theme, the stand-alone, curvilinear cove that surrounds the chandelier can change colour!

There are four rooms available @M – the Do@M, Cy@M, A@M and Be@M. Each room incorporates an ethnic theme of either Malay, Indian or Chinese inspiration. The Do@M has a Malaysian batik-inspired carpet aimed to incorporate the Malay theme. Cy@M reflects modern Indian abstracted paisley motif, whilst the A@M and Be@M features Chinese cherry blossom patterns in the room.

5. Work with a dedicated team of planners to make your dream wedding come to live

The dedicated wedding team at Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur strives to make your dream wedding come true. Flexible and resourceful, the hotel recently hosted a couple who invited a sand artist to do a live demonstration of their love story through “hand-drawn” sand art! Despite the potentially messy situation, the couple’s dream was accommodated and resulted in a memorable, moving piece for them. The team works through the weekend, so Singaporean couples can head over for a quick weekend break to plan your celebration.

The team is also well-connected with a large number of trust worthy wedding vendors that they often work with.

Each theme, equally elaborate and beautiful, is accompanied by a variety of door gifts that you can choose from.

Relax from wedding stress with a visit to Mandara Spa, where you can indulge in a full range of signature treatments that aim to soothe and delight your senses in an unforgettable experience.

9. A brand you can trust

When it comes to planning a destination wedding, honeymoon or even vacation overseas, we are often worried about the quality and service to expect. Hence, we often want to stick to brands that we can trust, like Sheraton, which has earned its 5-star rating with its many years of impeccable hosting. The building regularly undergoes renovation and refurbishment to ensure that it stays up to date with the latest trends, furnishings and technology.

During our visit, we felt well-taken care of at all times. The posh lobby was a relaxing area to lounge at, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable.
