Dreaming of a grand wedding in Shah Alam or searching for a top wedding planner course in Malaysia? This is where luxury meets purpose.

As Malaysia’s first social enterprise in the wedding industry, KT Academy and KT Ballroom are redefining how we celebrate love with sustainability, inclusivity, and real impact baked into every event.

No fluff. No waste. Just meaningful celebrations that matter.

From Lockdown Loss to Blue-Ocean Breakthrough

Founder Zaim knows resilience first-hand.

At 41, his journey spans IT studies, Tesco audits, booming shisha lounges and then, the pandemic shutdown.

Instead of stopping, he pivoted.

Together with Mr.Asyraf, a wedding veteran with 3,000+ events under his belt, they asked one powerful question:

“Why should wedding halls earn money only on weekends?”

The answer changed everything.

Post-MCO, KT Ballroom transformed into a weekday training hub, a multicultural wedding venue, and a launchpad for future eventpreneurs.

That bold move earned major recognition including the CEO Influential Sustainability Asia Pacific Award and the Awami Award.

KT Ballroom: A Pillarless Space Built for Big Love

Located in Shah Alam, KT Ballroom is designed for scale, style, and flexibility.

Why couples love it:

  • Pillarless hall for 500–1,000 guests
  • Ample parking & prayer facilities
  • In-house, award-worthy catering
  • Fully customizable for Malay, Chinese & Indian weddings

What’s next?

Destination weddings at stunning partners like Tunamaya Resort attracting couples from

Singapore, China, Dubai, and India.

Inbound wedding tourism? KT is already there.

Green Weddings Done Right (Not Just for Show)

Sustainability here isn’t a buzzword, it’s the system. KT’s eco-friendly wedding practices include:

  • In-house catering to cut transport emissions
  • Reusable décor instead of wasteful florals
  • Excess food donated to mosques
  • Digital invites & planning tools for paperless events

Even better?

Profits fund real community programs helping B40 single mothers and orphans learn full-cycle entrepreneurship skills.

Celebrate love. Change lives.

KT Academy: Where Event Careers Are Built

With 42+ HRDC-certified courses, KT Academy is shaping the next generation of wedding and event leaders.

Key learning pillars:

  • Practical training across 15+ wedding-related career paths
  • Digital Marketing & ESG Leadership
  • IR4.0 Skills, including AI and Robotics in event tech

Students come from across Malaysia especially Sabah & Sarawak and leave with A-to-Z business knowledge, higher income potential, and confidence to build their own brands.

A TVET-Driven Vision for Malaysia’s Event Industry

Aligned with Malaysia’s TVET push, KT supports over 15 wedding-related vocations from photography and makeup to catering and event tech.

Zaim’s message is simple but powerful:

“Stop fighting in the red ocean. Go blue. Share knowledge. Go digital. Stay sustainable.”
