Let’s be honest, who doesn’t dream of a wedding by the water? The idea of saying your vows with a peaceful lake in the background, surrounded by nature, yet still just a stone’s throw from the city centre—it’s the perfect picture. In Malaysia, where a wedding is a huge celebration of family, culture, and love, the choice of venue, or dewan, is everything. Selangor has plenty of options, but one place has truly perfected this dream for the modern couple. Boathouse KL, tucked away by a beautiful lake in Ampang, has quickly become the go-to spot for those who want a celebration with style and substance.
And it seems the secret is out. Boathouse KL was recently crowned “The Iconic Lakeside Venue of the Year” by The Knights Award, and frankly, it’s easy to see why. This isn’t just another pretty place; it masterfully combines its stunning lakeside setting with two incredible halls and high-tech features that today’s couples are looking for.
Luxury Wedding Venue with more than just a view – The Magic of a Lakeside Wedding
A waterfront venue’s primary appeal is its environment, and Boathouse KL leverages its lakeside location to create a truly enchanting experience. Described as a “hidden paradise,” the venue offers a tranquil escape from the city’s hustle, surrounded by lush greenery and the calming presence of the lake. This setting provides a “natural, picturesque backdrop for a captivating wedding ceremony”.
The venue is designed to make the most of its beautiful surroundings. Event packages include exclusive access to a charming wooden deck and an outdoor garden compound, both designed specifically for stunning photo opportunities and intimate ceremonies. The serene ambiance, with the “glistening waters” and gentle breeze, makes the location an active part of the celebration, not just a passive background. This makes it an idyllic setting for sacred ceremonies like an outdoor akad nikah or a traditional tea ceremony, where tranquility and beauty are key.
Choose Your Dream Setting: The Glasshouse vs. The Dome
Modern couples value personalization and style, and Boathouse KL’s dual-hall offering allows them to choose a space that perfectly matches their unique aesthetic. Whether planning a grand kenduri or an intimate reception, there is a hall to fit the vision.
- The Glasshouse (Modern Romance): An “elegant, romantic and graceful” white space, the Glasshouse features floor-to-ceiling glass windows and a transparent roof that floods the hall with natural daylight. It is perfect for the couple envisioning a bright, airy, and chic celebration. Famously rated as one of the most “Instagrammable” event spaces, it can be transformed into a “whimsical flower meadow” for a truly romantic affair. As Malaysian artist and actress Bella Astillah noted, “Imagine everything is white and has glass. It looks exclusive and luxury.”
- The Dome (Modern Innovation): For those seeking a bold, contemporary statement, the Dome is a “futuristic signature space”. Its “captivating dome-shaped architecture” offers a refreshing twist from conventional halls. Ideal for a glamorous and immersive reception, its high-tech feel is a proven canvas for high-fashion events and opulent decor, having hosted major brands like Adidas.
That ‘Wow’ Moment: Unforgettable High-Tech Features
Modern weddings are defined by unique, shareable moments. Boathouse KL integrates spectacular technology to elevate the waterfront experience and create that “wow-factor.”
The venue’s most innovative feature is its signature Water Screen Projection. This spectacular display allows a couple’s love story to be projected in moving images onto an “ethereal screen made of delicate bursts of water” right on the lake. This breathtaking performance “pushes the boundaries of visual storytelling” and provides a one-of-a-kind moment that guests will talk about for years to come.
This commitment to a flawless production extends to the indoor spaces. The Dome is equipped for immersive projection mapping, capable of transforming the entire room into a “dreamlike destination”. Furthermore, all-inclusive wedding packages come complete with professional audio and lighting systems managed by dedicated in-house engineers, ensuring every vow is heard and every moment is perfectly lit.
Boathouse KL Crowned ‘The Iconic Lakeside Venue of the Year’
In a well-deserved recognition of its unique charm and exceptional service, Boathouse KL has been named “The Iconic Lakeside Venue of the Year” at the prestigious Knights Award 2025. This award solidifies the venue’s standing as one of the most sought-after event spaces in the Klang Valley.
Nestled by a serene lake in Ampang, Boathouse has become synonymous with elegance and innovation. Its signature offerings—the sun-drenched, romantic Glasshouse and the modern, immersive Dome—provide a perfect canvas for everything from fairytale weddings to high-profile corporate launches. The venue’s ability to blend a tranquil, natural setting with cutting-edge facilities has consistently set it apart.
This accolade is a testament to the hard work and vision of the Boathouse team in creating a truly iconic destination. A huge congratulations to them on this outstanding achievement!
Your Unforgettable Day Starts Here
Boathouse KL is the top choice for a modern waterfront wedding because it uniquely combines a breathtaking location, two versatile and stylish halls, and game-changing technology. The venue’s commitment to a perfect day is evident in every detail, from its “fear no rain” high-ceiling infrastructure to thoughtful touches like a complimentary buggy service for guests.
The service is a standout feature, ensuring that the big day runs smoothly for the entire keluarga. As newlyweds, Kimberly & Alfred shared, “The entire night was amazingly in order… The boathouse crew was very attentive to guest arrival & departure.” For the modern couple in Selangor who refuses to compromise on style, setting, or experience, Boathouse KL isn’t just an option—it’s the destination.
