Private Dining Venues in Hong Kong

Private Dining:

In search of something more intimate? Hiring a private kitchen is not only, well, private, (meaning you can take your level of excitement up a notch), but enables you to tailor-make and theme your evening too.

Experiences and Classes:

Experience Gifts – Treat the bride to an experience she’ll never forget! Spoilt and Klook offer a ton of deals that more often than not, will make the entire hen party happy. Wine tastings and cocktails making classes are a classic, but you could delve deeper and go deep sea fishing, take a pole dancing class or master the art of making your own perfume. Sky’s the limit, ladies!

Spa Day – A tug on the purse strings, but worth splashing the cash for a full day of pre-wedding pampering! Calm any pre-wedding nerves with a refreshing facial or indulgent spa treatment, or go the whole hog and delight in a bridal experience package or hotel spa stay. If you’re looking for an affordable option, Sparadise offer two packages that include a multitude of ah-mazing treatments, vouchers and the deal breaker, complimentary champagne!

Beach Barbecues
– Hong Kong has no lack of beachside barbecue pits; take advantage and raid the supermarkets for crisps, dips and brews and head to a butchery (Bones & Blades has just opened in Sai Ying Pun) for sausages and steaks. Or alternatively call up a catering company and have them do the legwork for you (Invisible Kitchen have a great barbecue package) – they’ll even deliver! The barbecue pits and tents in Shek O are a firm favourite as they’re right on the beach and close to the water.

House of Siren – A playground for adults, this stylish and intimate space will work with you to plan a party that’s bound to go off with a bang. Hire a photographer to capture the evening and dress up in one of many ‘couture costumes’ as you drink in your favourite tipples in an ‘olde worlde’ atmosphere. Intrigued? Click here for more deets.

Book a Staycation – Make a weekend of it! Check the bridal party in to a suite and celebrate in style. Many of the hotels will give you the added option to fork out for the use of their spa and club facilities too, meaning free drinks and nibbles, perfect for pre-gaming.

Make the most of Macau – It might not be Vegas, but it’s close! Whisk the Mrs to Macau for the weekend and party like a rock star at one of the many hotels’ pool parties, snap up a suite for the night or force her hand in to conquering the ‘world’s tallest bungee jump.’
