2013 Wedding Chat

[Domokun]

I just attended a wedding at Novotel the sat before. Hmm... If you are not someone particular with the food, I think Novotel is ok. Some of the dishes are not bad actually.

The ballroom that I attended the wedding is rather spacious with high ceiling and no pillars. However, one downside is their centre-pieces at the aisle. There were many candles on the centre-pieces and the base of the centre-piece was rather small while the centre-piece is rather tall. Guess about 1.7m. So it tends to be very shaky when someone just touch it. (centre of gravity logic) Have to be careful and not let the centre-piece fall as there are candles on it.

The waiters and waitresses are not very professional. They will not ask what you want to drink unless you personally request for it. By default, they will serve chinese tea. (Not sure if it applies for my table or for all)

During the last dish which was the dessert, they actually served us a mixture of plastic and ceremic bowls in different sizes. Not very professional as they should have sufficient bowls to cater for all during the wedding.

Overall, I think no harm considering Novotel.

Thank! Tashababy. Considering all the effort n hardwork put into for just a few hours worth it as it is once in a life time thingy. =)

Dear all, I am BtB 2013. I like to know is it a must to have tea session at parents home? I bought my own house but mom kept insisting this ceremony. I want the tea session to be held at the restaurant instead.

Please advise. thanks dear

Thanks kpi. I guess i have to give in izit. My mom went to talk to my partner and asked him to brainwash me.
Actual Day wedding is double charge, we have a tight budget. All my mom think of is FACE.
Seems that it is her wedding and not mine. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

i'm a BTB in 2013 too. my HTB and I know what we want but we have no idea how to start planning so thankfully there's this forum! it's kind of stressful yet exciting thinking about everything to look for - dress, suit, photography, lunch venue..

actually we are just planning for a simple ROM and a sit down lunch for our immediate family members (ard 20 pax). we are both shy people who do not want a huge spectacle!
