i agree the ballroom at regent is pillared, so that's not a good thing. but that aside, the place is very grand, and regent is quite well known for their elabroate (and nice) decorations as well as good food! if you have a smaller wedding, you get the smaller rooms which do not have pillars, then tt is not a problem anymore. the salesperson varies, the one i met is not that bad. considering what you get for such a quality hotel, regents' prices are very reasonable. location-wise, it's not near an mrt station, but it's near busstops, tanglin mall etc. what's more, st regis is just across the road from regent (so convenience is the same), and yet they charge way higher too!
