The temple is built on a 1.67-acre piece of land. The original temple was initially at Jalan Sultan but was relocated at the present location in 1987. The temple has four levels. The top level is the main temple hall where all the cultural and religious activities are held regularly. At level one is the souvenir shops and the food court while the 2nd level is the banquet hall where most Chinese wedding dinners are held. And at the 3rd level is the marriage registration and administrative offices.

The main temple hall is beautifully decorated by dragon-inspired columns and immaculate rooftops. From this level, you will be able to enjoy the breath-taking view of the Kuala Lumpur Skyline. At this level too, you can also get able to have a close up look at the Goddess of Thean Hou who is flanked on her right by the Goddess of Waterfront and Goddess of Mercy on her left. The two main functions of the temple are as a marriage registration center and also as a place to hold Chinese dinner ceremonies.

The Day We Became Mr & Mrs Lee

With this ring, I take you as my husband/wife, to have & to hold, from this day forward, till death do us apart

The Story

We were colleagues about 5 years ago. That was how we got to know one another. He was a very quiet person, anti-social to be exact, but he had an athletic physique. I was the complete opposite. Somewhere somehow we got on together quite well. We starting seeing one another and went on a few dates. We finally got together on the 15th August, 2010.

On our 3rd anniversary, he wanted to propose to me but I was unwell. So, he decided to do it 3 days later on 18th August, 2013. Alvyern starting a game with me. He hid the ring somewhere secluded in my room without my knowledge and sent me a treasure map through Whatsapp. So, the manhunt begins! When I found the cry, I starting crying and the tears were pouring out so much! I’ve always wanted a western solemnisation ceremony. An idea of a small, intimate and loving environment and off I went searching for my dream venue….
