For a list of other wedding venue options, pop in here.
After having done my research, I realize there are ample of wedding banquet options. One of them is a convention centre. The Sime Darby Convention Centre (SDCC) located at Bukit Kiara, KL offers hotel standard service, food (halal) and ambiance with a better price. No fuss with parking at all as the space is huge and it's totally free of charge. You have a wide, pillar-less grand ballroom.
The Grand Ballroom comprises a column-free area of 19,000 square feet to accommodate 2,600 guests. If necessary, the Ballroom may be divided into three smaller function rooms that can accommodate up 800 guests each.

Attended a wedding dinner at Sime Darby Convention Center last weekend. My first impression: this place has ample parking. The moment i set foot into the grand ballroom, my first thought was that the design is stunning with a touch of oriental - i really like the yellow and orange umbrella on the ceiling. The ballroom is spacious with no pillars. So, all the guests can have a good look of the couple march-in and other event on the stage. The environment and ambiance are definitely of hotel standard. Further, this place serves halal Chinese food, so it's a great option for couples who intend to invite Muslim guests.
Well, the only down side of this place was the quality of the waiters. From what i observed, some of them acted prompt and efficient. They took the initiative to ask the guests whether they need a refill of wine. But some of them just stood there, ignoring the empty tea cups that are 'dying' to be refilled. One waiter accidentally drop the wine glass and the lady's blouse was soaked in wine. Instead of grabbing a napkin and apologized, he just stood there and looked stun. It was the supervisor who saves the day. When the supervisor wasn't looking, he actually turned and made stupid faces to another waiter. He did not look sorry at all.
Well, my final verdict, for brides-to-be who want to be away from the crazy kl traffic, this is definitely the place.

"Everything same as hotel. Food is good. Package is good. They even have a roof garden and 2 suites up there which is included in the package. The only deciding factor is the 'convention center' vs 'hotel'."
