Wedding Venue

Venue is very important for us. Since it's gona be a combined wedding, i was already contemplating on having a lot of invites. but you know, my family tree is huge... even by just inviting the very close ones dah mcm kecoh gila. so therefore we figured, let's do it for our parents. one good thing is also that my mom and boy's mom shared the same group of friends. so yeas less worry on the number of pax.

and so! we went through the list of places shown online.. was very excited at first when boy actually initiate to do one at Gardens by the Bay! we went for a recce and got a lil excited!

 

The flower field looks awesome! the lightings and all. place is huge too.. we enquired and sadly 31 Dec 2017 date is unavailable. saded.... but its ok not meant to be.

Boy being a hipster (AHAHAHAHA!) browse through for more places and suggested The Arts House! yessss i loveeeee museums and stuff. it was going to be such an ideal venue for us! we went through the rooms that we should book and all. even the dates are open for booking. but we kinda missed one thing out. logistics. 

everything was perfect.. but let's just say i dont want our guests to be eating on paper plates and plastic utensils. like kesian. we need to find a centralised catering which means my guests won't get to enjoy malay wedding food. hahaha. sorry ah i malay like dat. so i think Nasi Minyak, sambal goreng and ayam masak merah is super important. hahahaha! so yalah.. wat to do.. not meant to be also...

so finally... this option was already agreed by our parents earlier. they went to a wedding there and thought it was a good venue. MRT and buses are readily available right next to it. no problem for transportation. 

So yeahh... we have decided to go for The Grassroot Club @ Yio Chu Kang! i think i have yet to share the details for the wedding deco vendor yet... but i think you all should know after looking at this pic. hehehe... place is huge too. and fully air-conditioned! even got the catering part settled coz we got a package for both deco and catering. so zero worry for catering logistics! yay!

went for site recce and food tasting last Saturday. so all is good now.. venue booked 6 months ago. so yep. venue, down!
