If you're planning a wedding, gala dinner, or large family celebration in Sarawak's interior, venue options thin out quickly once you move beyond Kuching. Serian — roughly an hour along the Pan Borneo Highway from the capital — is home to one genuinely large-scale event space: Cha Cha Durian Ballroom at Roxy Hotel Serian. This guide covers what the venue offers, what it suits, and how to plan around it.

Not Just a Ballroom — Cha Cha Durian Restaurant, Too
Serian is also home to a second, more intimate venue on the same property: Cha Cha Durian Restaurant. As its name suggests, this is built around a genuine culinary theme — celebrating the durian, Sarawak's famous "King of Fruits," with a menu spanning traditional favourites and durian-infused creations for the adventurous. Seating up to 150 guests, it's a natural choice for smaller family celebrations, welcome dinners the night before a wedding, or simply a memorable meal while you're in town for durian season.

Planning a Wedding at Cha Cha Durian Ballroom
Guest count
With capacity up to 420, the Ballroom comfortably handles large Chinese wedding banquets — the kind of guest list that quickly outgrows smaller Kuching hotel function rooms.
Timing
Weekend dates and auspicious dates during the Chinese calendar fill up well in advance. Enquire as early as possible, ideally 3 to 6 months ahead for peak dates.
Accommodation for guests
Roxy Hotel Serian sits on the same property as the Ballroom, meaning out-of-town wedding guests can walk from their room to the celebration — a genuine convenience for family travelling in from Kuching or further afield.
Catering and setup
PA system and projector are included as standard, with catering services available to match the scale of the event.
Why Stay at Roxy Hotel Serian
For wedding parties, out-of-town guests, and event organisers, staying on-site removes the single biggest logistical headache of a Serian event: getting people to and from the venue. Roxy Hotel Serian offers comfortable rooms just steps from both Cha Cha Durian Ballroom and Cha Cha Durian Restaurant, with the same warm, local hospitality found across every Roxy property.

Getting to Serian
Serian is roughly a 1-hour drive from Kuching via the Pan Borneo Highway.
A car is the most practical way to reach Serian; ride-hailing coverage is limited outside Kuching city.
Serian's town centre is also known for its durian stalls in season — worth timing a visit around if you're a fan.
