Yeah finally after so many visits to different hotels, my boyfriend and I decided on the Shangri La.
We have been viewing hotels since April, so we have been going to hotels almost every weekend to view their ballroom. We were looking for a hotel that can hold about 35 - 38 tables. We went to:
1)
Swissotel The Stamford (Don't like their reception, as you have to share the area with many weddings esp if you want to hold the dinner on a weekend)
2)
Marina Mandarin (Min 40 pp for big ballroom and the smaller ballroom can accomodate 30+ table but has a very low ceiling)
3)
Sheraton Towers (Don't like their ceiling too, half low and half high so abit funny)
4)
Pan Pacific (Also the same like Marina Mandaring... I dont think I have so many guest to invite man)
5)
Orchard Hotel (Hmm cost about $1020 for a 4 star hotel, not so worth le.. although they have a popular restaurant call Hua Ting)
6)
Regent They have beautiful and romantic themes, good food (Summer Place is popular for food) and we were about to put a deposit to that hotel but my friend, Camelia and a few other colleagues said that FEW PEOPLE knows Regent is a 5 star hotel and not many people would expect Regent to cost about $1100 per table of 10 person. So we decided to hold on the deposit...
7)
Shangri La We went down to take a look at the hotel and their banquet. They have quite good themes, I simply love their wedding cards and their numerous choices of wedding favours. My boyfriend and my friends said that although Shang is $100 more per table, it is more worth it.
So we had made the decision last week to sign our contract at Shangri La with Jean..
Hehe this is a photo of my ballroom..
PS: If anybody wants to see the 2008 banquet packages for hotels, can email me at philana_secdc@yahoo.com.sg, I have the packages for about 15 hotels... hehe..
