More Weddings Shows .....

The last 2 wedding shows of the month. Woke up pretty early and reached the first venue at around 11.30am, The Holiday Inn @ Orchard. My gal and i were among one of the few early couples there, and the ballroom looks empty.

Price wise, this hotel would fit our bill nicely. However, there were pillars present in the ballroom, and the food were not as great compared to what we have tried at other hotels. As there was another wedding show @ Grand Copthorne Hotel, we spent only 45 mins understanding the package and viewing the bridal suite.

The ballroom looks pretty nice,
if not for the pillar ....

is it me or wat, the lighting of the ballroom looks retro ...
or maybe, it looks like a nightclub ? =p

The settings of the second venue, Grand Copthorne hotel, was very different from previous one. It seems that they have put in more effort than Holiday Inn and there were a number of wedding services vendors as compare to Holiday Inn. Toured the Waterfront Ballroom, which has a capacity of 22 - 28 tables. This ballroom has pillars and the deco wasn't really nice. Perhaps this is not the main ballroom, hence it pales in comparison.

Next, we went upstairs to take a look at the main ballroom, Grand Ballroom. The hotel staffs were setting up the ballroom for tonite's dinner, hence were able to see the real deco as well. There is a beautiful garden backdrop. Simple yet nice.

After finding out about various packages and touring the ballroom, it's time to tuck in ! For the past few weeks, this was how we settled our lunch too. Mini buffet lunch at the wedding show venue. =p

The nails services booth ....
where the sales person use my hand as a demo cos my gal's fingernails are too long !!

To recap, here are the list of hotels that we have already covered:
- Meritus Mandarin
- Merriott Hotel
- Sheraton Hotel
- Marina Mandarin
- Holiday Inn
- Grand Copthorne

Guess we have more or less view all the hotels that we have shortlisted. Another hotel on our list, Hyatt Hotel, will be holding a wedding show in May. My gal wish to take a look at the ballroom and package before we come to a decision. It is going to get more and more costly to get marry as time passes.
