In one of our previous posts, we shared our top choices for a perfect oceanfront wedding. But not everyone planning to tie the knot in Asia has a beach location in mind. Does a ceremony among the city vibes sound more like your choice? Be it a rooftop setting or a green oasis in the midst of a busy town, we know exactly where to go! 

Sokha Phnom Penh Hotel & Residence – Phnom Penh, Cambodia

If your wedding motto is “go big or stay single”, Cambodia should be your top choice as a wedding destination in South East Asia. The reason is simple, you’ll have to try really hard to find a hotel more suitable for a huge celebration than Sokha Phnom Penh.

A banquet for over 1500 guests? Easy! And it will be done in style whether an opulent Western or a traditional Cambodian ceremony. Feel like the main character in an historical novel in the grand ballroom with soaring ceilings and walls draped in rich exotic fabrics. This magnificent venue captures the magic of Cambodian tradition albeit with modern facilities.

If you prefer a more private event, Thansur Restaurant can accommodate an intimate banquet for 400 people or an elegant cocktail reception for up to 650 guests. And those looking for more of a city atmosphere can move the party outside and enjoy dancing under the stars with magnificent views of the Mekong River. You can even say your vows on a floating stage in the swimming pool! To complete the fairytale scenario, make a grand entrance by limousine, Rolls Royce or even by helicopter.

And while waiting for the big day, treat yourself with a once-in-a-lifetime hot air balloon flight over Chiang Mai – what could be a better occasion to try it than your own wedding?
