The Event Sales Manager (Wedding Planner) is responsible for attracting wedding and social event business, handling enquiries, preparing proposals, conducting venue tours, negotiating packages, and coordinating each celebration with hotel departments and external suppliers. Candidates should have experience in hotel event sales, wedding planning, or hospitality, with strong communication, presentation, negotiation, and organisational skills. A good understanding of local wedding customs, budgets, menus, décor, and event logistics is valuable. The role requires a polished and guest-focused approach, commercial awareness, attention to detail, confidence in meeting sales targets, and the flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and public holidays. Fluency in English is expected; knowledge of Malay, Mandarin, or other local languages may be advantageous.

Malaysia offers attractive hospitality opportunities in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu, and other resort destinations. Wedding planners and event sales professionals are in demand at luxury hotels, beach resorts, convention venues, and destination-wedding businesses. Penang combines heritage culture, lively food markets, temples, beaches, and a relatively relaxed urban lifestyle. Langkawi offers a quieter island setting, outdoor activities, and strong resort tourism, while Sabah provides access to nature, diving, and diverse indigenous cultures. Living costs vary: island resorts may provide staff accommodation or meals, but transport and imported goods can be expensive. Employers normally sponsor an Employment Pass for foreign hires; approval depends on the contract, qualifications, salary, and Malaysian immigration requirements. Applicants should confirm sponsorship, accommodation, insurance, taxation, working hours, and contract terms before relocating. Respectful dress, punctuality, and sensitivity to Malaysia’s multicultural and Muslim traditions are important.
