Solemnisation Venue Confirmed!!
It was really a hard decision. Let me tell you the story.
We went in search for the venue since July.
A. Grand Copthorne Water Front OUTWe went with the original intention to view the Ballroom. But since there, we might as well take a look at the Solemnisation Venue. But we know it was not our choice after viewing the room. Moreover, we are looking for a sit-down chinese lunch, and they can only offer buffet.
B. Keppel Club Peony Jade IN
The Solemnisation is by the sea which is really a beautiful venue. Baby & I went before for a Solemnisation Ceremony previously. There was 2 disappointment. My guest couldn't hear what the Justice of Peace(JP) is talking, and there were no seats for my guest during the ceremony. But it is pretty good venue, plus we both love peony jade banquet menu. So we keep it in 1st.
C. Sheraton Towers OUT
We went coz i love the waterfall. It was no doubt it was marvelous. But i feel it was dangerous too. Anyone can fall into the pond. The waterfall was loud, but there will be a PA System, thus it will be good as all my guests can hear my JP loud & clear. The bridge to cross to reach the solemnization venue, seriously speaking, i'm scared. Apart from worrying for my dad or baby's parent, i'm worry that the bride will fall instead. haiz~ Lovely place. But i dun wanna risk my life.
D. Swissotel Merchant Court INFreaking lovely!! The Solemnization by the Pool is serious love. I can't help but want the place so badly. It was seriously great. But there is a rental price to the venue. It is not like you have you get that venue for free if you hold the Solemnization there and pay for the food. And the extra charge will be forfeited in the event of rain. Meaning if rain, you solemnization in their rooms and they will not return u the money. God, please bless no rain then.
Conclusion: It was a serious struggle for me. I love the Swissotel Merchant Court ALOTx66666666666666 times. Ask me to forgo it? I'm really sad... But i had to admit it is expensive, especially when the venue may be forfeit. We are on a budget and we will be spending more on AD. Plus, the option of getting Douglas for ROM becoz we love his album is seriously burning a small little hole in our ROM budget. So we decided to settle for 2nd best.
Keppel Club is the option
