Relive Old Peranakan Glory
Walk down the ancient paths paved by traders of old; those who threw their lot to the wind and found their fortunes in Penang. Evidence of this old money is carefully preserved and put on display in gorgeous Peranakan mansions and boldly reflect of the mix of cultures and influences attracted to our ports.
Turn your soiree into a celebration of the Peranakan golden era. Relive the past in exceptional Peranakan fashion with exquisitely tailored, colourful outfits. Enjoy a delectable Nyonya spread over antique kitchen ware and be delighted by elegant dances and pantun recitals. Bring back the good times and let the halls of the Peranakan mansions resound once again with mirth and laughter.
A Dowager’s Dream
Step into the old world, over granite stone yards, pushing through heavy teak doors, where old values ruled in clan houses. The ornately decorated halls tell stories of wealth and opulence at a time when it meant something. Penang through the years has been the converging point of diverse cultures and religions – mixing and melding into a unique and vibrant concoction, a potent potion to any party.
Let your guests be entertained by cultural performances evoking visions of the past. They will be captivated by the mysticism of Malay cultural dances, entranced by the elaborate costumes and martial moves of the Chinese opera, and stunned by the beat of the table and dhol. Take this all in while enveloped in the atmospheric monuments of ancient glories.
Come Away to Nature
Revel in Mother Earth for she has stories to tell. Nature beckons you to walk through her garden and be surrounded by lush verdant greens, and bright tropical flowers. The sounds and smells of the earth is healing to the bones and refreshing to the soul.
In the cool of the garden, in the freshness of the breeze, with nature as your backdrop, there’s little you can add to make a gala party memorable. Dance in the moonlight at the top of the mountain, in the thick of the forest or with your toes in the sand by the seashore. The night is cool and welcoming, the days are warm and heady, a little rain won’t dampen your party. Nature is hospitable and welcoming – she will lift your spirits and bring a delightful freshness to any party.
Talk of the Town
Penang wants you to go big. The island may be little, but she will show her might putting on her best for the grandest of events. Penang’s grand convention halls are enablers, its high ceilings and wide expanses, a blank canvas for your event.

Put on a show! Give your guests a stunning experience from the moment they walk through the welcoming arches to the moment the party ends in an explosion of fireworks.

Electric Vibes
For a loud and electric twist, throw a party in an out-of-service bus depot, emptied Penang ferry or abandoned parking lot. Like any international city, Penang has a collection of rough and ready industrial projects which have been art-washed, creating the perfect atmosphere for a gala night.
For a postmodern feel, give your party a ghetto finish with graffiti artists, turntable DJs and LED art installations to provide an injection of soul to your party. Your guests will be raving to the beat of the electric bass in the shadow of a colossal art installation. This is an innovative flourish to your event, bringing a raw and edgy ambiance with an irresistible cosmopolitan X-factor which can never be replicated.
