How much is a wedding package at the E&O Penang?

The E&O does not publish one. Its own events pages, checked on 26 September 2026, list capacities and an enquiry form but no price, so you need a written quote. For context, current packages at other Penang hotels run from RM2,188 to RM2,888 nett per table of 10 (both at PARKROYAL); an older Shangri-La Golden Sands PDF (March 2024, no validity date) lists RM1,888 nett.

How many guests does the E&O Grand Ballroom seat?

The hotel's Grand Ballroom page gives 400 for a banquet and 300 for a buffet. The Macalister Ballroom in the Victory Annexe takes 290 for a banquet and 250 for a buffet.

Does the E&O list a wedding price per person or per table?

Neither. No per-person or per-table wedding price appears on the hotel's own site. Ask the events team for both a set-menu and a buffet quote, and check whether each is nett or has service charge and tax added.

E&O Penang wedding package price: what the hotel publishes

Price not publishedChecked on the venue's own website, 26 September 2026

The Eastern & Oriental Hotel does not publish a wedding package price. Its own events pages, checked on 26 September 2026, give room sizes and capacities and an enquiry form, but no per-table rate, no package price, no service charge and no minimum. The only way to a real number is a written quote. Below is what the E&O does publish, what other Penang hotels publish for comparison, and the questions that make a quote easy to compare.

What moves the price

Which room you book

The Grand Ballroom seats 400 for a banquet and the Macalister Ballroom 290, with suites for smaller groups. Ask for a quote on the room that fits your guest list, not the biggest one.

How many tables

Penang hotels that do publish prices charge per table of 10 and set a minimum, from 10 tables at Shangri-La Golden Sands (in an older, March 2024 PDF) to 20 at PARKROYAL and G Hotel Gurney. Ask the E&O whether its quote works the same way, and what its minimum is.

Set menu or buffet

G Hotel Gurney, for example, publishes a set menu at RM2,388 nett a table and a buffet at RM238 nett a person, one priced per table and one per person. Ask the E&O to quote both, on the same basis.

Nett or plus plus

Several Penang hotels quote nett prices that already include 10% service charge and tax. If a quote says "++", those charges are added on top, so compare like with like.
