David Ho looks at how the Island Shangri-La plans to help lovers exchange vows with a wow

Island Shangri-La has undergone a face lift. The hotel stalwart unveiled its refreshed Grand Ballroom in September 2024, with the nature-inspired venue being an inspired choice for special events like weddings in the heart of Hong Kong.  

Island Shangri-La invites you to discover The Craft of Couture Weddings, where every wedding becomes a unique expression of your love story, custom-designed to your desires. Every love story is distinctive, and we believe your wedding should reflect that uniqueness. What does your dream wedding look like? Let them help you celebrate your journey with your loved ones, creating a day that encapsulates your personal narrative and style.

Island Shangri-La provides more than just a venue though. The hotel has a team of wedding experts, with over a decade of experience in designing unforgettable occasions, to make sure that every detail of your perfect wedding is meticulously crafted.

The Craft of Couture Weddings is Island Shangri-La’s initiative to provide bespoke concepts that are sure to fit every need for the perfect wedding, be it smaller cocktail parties to elaborate banquets. Whether it’s a modern affair or a ceremony steeped in rich traditions, the hotel has you covered with their one-stop service.

While the refurbished Grand Ballroom is a highlight, Island Shangri-La has a range of stunning venue options to fit any couple’s vision for a dream event. Take for example, the luxurious 222-square-metre Shangri-La Suite, which makes for an enchanting space that fits bridal luncheons, tea ceremony, or as a serene retreat for your special moments.

There is also the Hong Kong suite for more intimate wedding or engagement parties. It comes with breath-taking views of Victoria Harbour that will leave your guests in awe and make for a majestic backdrop for pictures. Those seeking a more Chinese setting should consider the Ming Pavilion inspired by the rich landscapes of Fujian province, or even any of the themed family suites to fit whatever they have in mind.

The hotel’s experienced wedding experts that have worked on countless special occasions for more than a decade will then go the extra mile to custom design the event and keep it a stress-free, special day. The packages available cover any type of celebration, from unforgettable proposals to a grand wedding banquet.
