The Event Sales Manager (Wedding Planner) is responsible for generating wedding and social-event business, managing client enquiries, preparing proposals, conducting venue tours, negotiating packages, and coordinating events with hotel departments and external suppliers. Candidates should have experience in hotel event sales, wedding planning, catering, or a related hospitality field, with strong communication, negotiation, organisation, and customer-service skills. The role requires commercial awareness, attention to detail, confidence in meeting revenue targets, and the ability to manage several events under pressure. Weekend and public-holiday work may be required, along with professional English and good knowledge of the local wedding and events market.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts, and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international destinations. The group is recognised for personalised Asian hospitality, high service standards, premium accommodation, restaurants, wellness facilities, and large-scale meetings and celebrations. Shangri-La properties in Malaysia serve business travellers, leisure guests, weddings, conferences, and social events. Employees typically work in an international environment with structured operating standards, guest-focused service expectations, and opportunities for hospitality training and career development. Depending on the property, benefits may include meals, staff rates, service charge, medical coverage, and performance incentives.
Malaysia is a multicultural country rather than a single island destination, offering opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, event venues, tourism, and travel services. Kuala Lumpur provides the broadest career market, while Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu, and other coastal destinations offer resort and wedding-event roles. The culture blends Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous traditions, with English widely used in hospitality. Lifestyle costs vary: cities offer modern conveniences and nightlife, while resort areas provide a slower pace and outdoor activities. Foreign employees generally need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass, and the company normally handles the application after making a formal offer. Candidates should verify visa eligibility, contract terms, accommodation, transport, medical cover, and service-charge policies before relocating.
