A hidden gem in Kuala Lumpur, Flamingo By The Lake is a venue that couples may want to consider, particularly if a lakeside setting is what you have envisioned for your wedding ceremony and post-ceremony reception. Adding another dimension to outdoor weddings which have primarily been garden-themed in the Klang Valley, the prospect of exchanging vows by the lake will be an interesting proposition for couples looking for a unique wedding celebration.

The chance to have an outdoor event is complemented by the opportunity to bring the wedding banquet into the property’s Grand Ballroom, offering couples the best of both worlds so to speak in terms of varied settings and ambience. This extends to cuisine as well, as Flamingo By The Lake caters to differing tastes, ranging from local delicacies to international favourites.

When deciding whether to have an outdoor ceremony, take the following into account :

• How the set-up and decorative details complement the surroundings, in this case the lake.

• What is the contingency plan should the weather wreak havoc?

• A cocktail reception by the lake after the ceremony will be a good opportunity for guests to enjoy the atmosphere before proceeding to the ballroom for the banquet.

• For a smaller crowd, perhaps even have the banquet outdoors by the lake in a more casual setting.

• Do inform your guests in advance that the ceremony will be held outdoors so that they dress appropriately, particularly when our weather can be hot and humid.

Tip : Discuss layout and floor plan with the hotel’s catering team in order to create a setting that meets your requirements for an outdoor ceremony.
