Your Wedding at Seven Terraces

Seven restored 19th-century Peranakan terrace houses, connected by a secret passage. Rich timber walls that remember a century of monsoon seasons. Patterned floor tiles shipped from England during the Straits Settlements era. A blue-and-white porcelain collection that would be the centrepiece of any museum.

This is not a ballroom. There is no sprawling garden lawn. Seven Terraces exists for a completely different kind of celebration: the intimate ceremony, the sit-down dinner with thirty of your closest people, the afternoon tea reception where every guest can reach out and touch the walls and feel the history.

For couples who want their wedding to feel personal, heritage-rich, and deeply connected to Penang’s multicultural soul, no venue in Malaysia comes close.

About Seven Terraces

Located along Stewart Lane in the heart of George Town’s UNESCO World Heritage zone, Seven Terraces was meticulously restored by hotelier and antiques collector Karl Stein, preserving the original character of each shophouse. The property spans seven interconnected terraces with 18 two-storey suites, each individually furnished with period antiques.

The Kebaya Dining Room serves award-winning Peranakan cuisine — a highlight for wedding receptions where food is as much a part of the experience as the setting.

Wedding Spaces at Seven Terraces

The Courtyard

The central courtyard, with its open sky, tropical plants, and heritage walls, serves as the main ceremony space for intimate weddings. It’s shaded enough for daytime ceremonies with beautiful natural light bouncing off the light-coloured walls.

The Kebaya Dining Room

The in-house Peranakan restaurant seats up to 80 guests for a sit-down dinner. Heritage tile floors, traditional ceramic ware, and warm wood interiors create an intimate, atmospheric dining setting. For smaller groups (under 40), the private dining room adjacent to the main restaurant offers even more intimacy.

The Rooftop Terrace

Overlooking George Town’s heritage skyline, the rooftop is ideal for pre-dinner cocktails, sunset canapés, and couple portraits with the city’s rooftops as your backdrop.
