The Ultimate Guide to Hong Kong Wedding Venues
Falling in love will never go out of style, but what about weddings? The tradition of tying the knot isn’t going anywhere either but more couples are choosing to shake up the traditional format of ceremony followed by a hotel banquet and opting for something more unique that reflects their personality, taste and lifestyle. As brides and grooms get more involved in planning their own weddings, we are seeing an unstoppable trend for non-traditional wedding venues. From November to March, the Hong Kong weather allows for a wide variety of outdoor wedding venues. The modern Hong Kong wedding venue is now as likely to be at an outdoor location where guests can enjoy fresh air, gardens, city skylines or the glimmer of sunlight hitting the water than it is to be indoors under the grand chandeliers of a banqueting hall.
Are you considering a unique beach wedding in the sun, or maybe a rooftop celebration under the stars? We have compiled some of our favorite outdoor wedding venues to whet your appetite and inspire you’re your big day.
Garden Weddings
Some of our favorite wedding settings in Hong Kong are garden weddings, here are two of the top spots recommended by us at Invisible Kitchens:

Naturally, seeing as we are big foodies at Invisible Kitchen, we relish the idea of eating al fresco. Food at a wedding is a huge focal point and a great opportunity to bring families and friends together. Fusion menus are especially popular, not only because of the exciting mix of flavors, colors and aromas, but also as a celebration- a symbol of the unity between two cultures.
Whichever wedding venue type you choose, Invisible Kitchen is ready to serve you and your guests a bespoke menu that you’ll never forget. For sample menus and catering style ideas, take a look at our wedding catering page or contact us for a consultation.
