*Our Journey*: *Wedding Venue*

26th and 27th March 2011, that is our WEDDING DAY ! It's another 6 months and 3 days to go !

26th March 2011 - Gate crashing and SOKA Ceremony (More updates in time to come). Now to concentrate on 27th March 2011 location is more important !

Hotels, Restaurants, Clubhouses, Yacht Club, Beach Resort, Orchid Garden, so many to choose from ! Wedding lunch, wedding dinner, buffet, 9 course, western cuisine, chinese cuisine, so many to choose from ! Looking through the research that we've compiled, we're already seeing stars(5 Stars arising !!). Whoever needs information or wants to take over the compiled file, feel free to ask us ! Haha !

Hotels like Inter-continental, Marina Mandarin, Meritus Mandarin, Pan Pacific, Marriott, St Regis, Conrad, Carlton, Park Royal, Novotel, Grand Park, Hotel Re, Good Wood Park, Four Seasons...etc.

Clubhouse and Restaurants like, Chevrons, SAF Yacht Club, Bukit Batok CSC, SAFRA Mount Faber, SAFRE Jurong, Jia Xiang Restaurant, Tung Lok Shenton Way, Peach Garden, Si Chuan Dou Hua..etc

We shortlisted a few hotels and restaurants, Novotel, Grand Park, Carlton, Park Royal Beach Road, Tung Lok Shenton Way and Jia Xiang Restaurant.

Novotel was the 1st Hotel that we head down to. That was our first choice. The package was simple and fulfil what we want. However, the planning group was a FLOP(failed to answer our questions and took 1 month to get back to us !) and the banquet room(Square room with low ceiling) wasn't appealing to us. Hence, we walked down the road towards Carlton ! Along the way was Grand Park Central. There wasn't any chance for us to evaluate as the Wedding Planners were all out on a WEEKDAY ! What The Hell !! but they do have a nice Man-Made Garden at the Lobby for Solemnization. Seems like a good setting. Off next was the Carlton Hotel. Walking into Carlton Hotel, they win hands down compared to the first two. Firstly the place is in a good location and they are building a new WING, that means we are holding the wedding in the new ballroom if we commit. The Wedding Planner was damn professional though she's like my age ! She practically covered everything before i open my mouth and she even had a CHINESE CALENDER with her for reference ! Well, both of us and our MOH, Shennie, thought this was it !! We're impressed. Well, lucky i suggested to talk a stroll to Park Royal Beach Road since its just nearby before deciding. Oh Man !! Lucky we didn't shut this hotel out ! Though it is a hotel with LONG HISTORY at Beach Road, Building is old and low, the place is still a bargain ! The package was great ! The Planner, Felicia, threw more perks into what was stated in the package and even went out to secure the garden by the pool for our SOLEMNIZATION ! The view was great and its just outside the banquet ballroom ! Having a garden solemnization by the poolside is exactly what we wanted and the ballroom is big enough to accomodate 40 tables of guests, a dance floor and a stage for my LIVE Band to be. Great ! To add in more perks, we were given 2 suites, St Gregory's SPA are thrown in for us, No Corkage Charges and Free Flow of Alcohol. The rest of it was pretty standard. Wanna know more, ask us for the details~~

Well, after going through so many, the one that fits our Dream Wedding is PARK ROYAL BEACH ROAD ! We attended their Wedding Fair and its great ! They have themes that are linked to Purple as well ! Nice ! Here are some photos we took ~
