Attended a Wedding Show @ Marina Mandarin today. Both ballrooms and themes were on display. There were 3 available themes to choose from. Of the 2 ballrooms available, the main ballroom, Marina Mandarin Ballroom is nicer and more spacious. However, it require a minimum of 35 tables. The smaller ballroom, Vanda ballroom pales in comparison to the main ballroom. Maybe because of the choice of decoration/themes ? Something seems to be lacking. Met a few of my NTU friends.
There is a 5-course meal for couples to sample their dishes. All the 5 dishes were quite nice, to my surprise, and there's even a lobster cold plate as the starter. Nowadays, it is hard to get lobster cold dish as a starter for the basic package. And though it is managed by The Meritus group, same as Meritus Mandarin, but this hotel is definitely much better.
There is a wedding fashion show, showcase of bridal gowns by White Link and hosted by Nic Shen, followed by attractive lucky draws. The first 3 prizes were 3 days 2 nites package to Korea, Maccau and Krabi respectively. No luck in the lucky draw this time round. One of my friends, Belle actually won the first prize ! Free trip to Korea, so shiok.

The stage in Vanda Ballroom ..... It looks empty ....
Vanda Ballroom, and it looks quite cosy
After the Show, we rush down to Goodwood park hotel as there is also a similar event there, showcasing their ballrooms, bridal suite and themes. Both of us find the Bridal Suite cosy and nicely decorated. So is the ballroom. The perks for this show is quite attractive, as they include free musical performance during the cocktail session and free rental of Porsche on the actual day. It is indeed attractive, but the price is out of our budget.
