For something a little less conventional, how about taking your wedding to Victoria Harbour? Star Ferry is one of Hong Kong’s most beloved icons, having sailed commuters between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon for over 130 years. It may not be an obvious choice, but it’s got all the right makings for the perfect nautical-themed wedding: retro naval décor paired with timeless wood-panel flooring, and breathtaking views of the harbour and the city’s glittering skylines. No matter where you turn, you have a glorious backdrop to complement your nuptial celebrations! Click here for more information.
Tai O may be a humble fishing village, but it’s also (surprisingly) home to a gorgeous colonial-style boutique hotel. The building used to be the old Tai O Marine Police Station, but has since been restored and is now a charming nine-room hotel. Nestled on the tip of Lantau Island, the hotel is surrounded by forests and faces a breathtaking sea view. It even has an option for a special wedding sampan ride! The hotel’s small size means you may be able to book it out completely for your party, making for the ultimate exclusive celebration.

If you want the romance of a seaside wedding without the hassle of sand getting into places it has no business being in, your best bet is the White Chapel at the Auberge Discovery Bay. This triangular affair is Hong Kong’s only seaside chapel. It’s an intimate venue with the front and back made almost entirely of glass, which allows visitors to gaze past the main stage and out into the ocean. You can also hire a horse-drawn carriage to pick you up after the ceremony for a picturesque ride straight out of fairytale happily-ever-afters.

The Peninsula has long been the pinnacle of old-world luxury in Hong Kong, so it makes sense that its wedding venues are also top-notch. Whether you choose to host your ceremony in the elegant Salisbury Room or in the contemporary restaurant Felix, you will be led every step of the way and can have one-on-one consultations with the hotel florist, pastry chef, banquet chef, and chief sommelier to ensure everything is exactly how you want it to be. Of course, The Peninsula also comes well-equipped with its famous fleet of Rolls-Royces so you can be chauffeured around on your special day in the height of style.

For those who love the sea and sand, it really doesn’t get more romantic than having a wedding ceremony with the colonial heritage building of The Repulse Bay behind you and views of the South China Sea straight ahead. You can choose to have your event on the front lawn or the sea view terrace, followed by a reception at The Verandah or The Marquee.

Simple and elegant, but just blank enough that you can customise the event the way you want, there are two spaces available: a long dining room with an open kitchen and bar running along one wall, and a spacious adjoining terrace that can be booked together or separately. The Mediterranean-inspired food can also be served family-style or as hors d’oeuvres to be passed around.

The building that houses it used to be the site of a nineteenth-century explosive compound and is now the Asia Society Hong Kong Centre.
