Dream Venue

Located on the waterfront of Hung Hom Bay, the luxurious Kerry Hotel was designed by architectural firm Rocco Design and renowned interior designer André Fu. It boasts panoramic views of Victoria Harbour and offers a variety of indoor and outdoor venue options, making it a top choice for newly engaged couples.

Curated tours during the fair will see Kerry Hotel event staff and wedding planners take guests around all the spaces that can be used, whether for an intimate wedding of 50 or a large affair for over 1,000 guests. The tours will include the Grand Ballroom, the largest pillar-less ballroom in the city, which can accommodate over 1,200 people for a banquet; the vast Harbourview Deck, which can seat up to 180 guests for a wedding ceremony; and the Hung Hom Ballroom, which is ideal for smaller gatherings. Alternatively, couples can explore the venues on their own by following the suggested route in a wedding fair booklet that will be provided to all guests on the day.

If you have a substantial number of guests heading to Hong Kong for your special day, the hotel has 546 spacious guest rooms, which all include a complimentary mini bar, an infinity swimming pool overlooking Victoria Harbour, the Chinese fine-dining restaurant Hung Tong, and many more facilities to ensure that all overseas guests are well looked after.

Picture Perfect

Essential to every wedding is the right photographer to capture all the memorable moments of your special day. Kerry Hotel wants to make sure you find your perfect fit by setting up portrait stations—complete with wedding decor by vendors Free Concept, Miluna Studio and Only Mine—at various photogenic spots around the hotel, such as the Grand Staircase in the lobby and the Harbourview Foyer, next to the Grand Ballroom, which comes with stunning views of Victoria Harbour. The photos will be taken by some of the city’s best vendors for wedding photography, including Alexander Hera, Johnny Production and KC Professional Photography, and are guaranteed to be breathtaking, giving couples the chance to visualise their wedding day and get a keepsake from the fair. Guests can also enjoy complementary makeup touchup services from the hot cosmetics brand, Charlotte Tilbury.

Aisle Talk

Two mock ceremonies, hosted by renowned celebrant Michael Lai from An Oath Celebrant Service and complete with live music from Innonation and Tess Collins, will be staged during the fair so you will see different versions of a wedding and pick up some ideas for the moment when you exchange vows and become husband and wife.

Gowns (and Tuxedos) Galore

For brides and grooms who haven’t yet chosen a dress and tux, the fair offers two showcases featuring the latest and hottest wedding looks. No matter what your style is, you’ll be sure to find your dream outfit with the many different gowns from Audella Bridal House and Trinity Bridal, groom tuxedos from MODE Tuxedo, and jewellery by Sarah Zhuang. No showcase is complete without highlighting the different hairstyles and make-up options you can have on your big day, so make sure to keep an eye on our models and check out the bridal hair by M.i Salon, the urban-inspired bridal make-up by Seasoning, and groom hair & make-up by Mini Chan. Grab a seat and discover the most sought-after looks while sipping a glass of champagne. That’s not all – the fair also goes one step further with a more personalised experience at the Presidential Suite, where brides will get to try on some of the gowns as well.

Taste Test

Guests will experience Kerry Hotel’s excellent culinary creations in the Grand Ballroom via various food stations, with free-flow champagne, wine and non-alcoholic beverages. Guests will also get to sample delicious cakes and cookies produced by BOW by Lazy Baking and The Symphony Designer Cakes.

Wedding Know-how

In addition, a talk on the traditional rituals and etiquette for a Chinese wedding will be led by Lo Kan Fong Chinese Wedding, which includes a mock set-up of the all-important Chinese tea ceremony.

To help brides de-stress before the big day, CHA LING L’Esprit du Thé will host a workshop filled with health and wellness tips.
