Hi, I am currently facing the same issue!!
Just sharing my experience.
Firstly, I am the groom.
I have already agreed to give a 4-digit ping-jing to my Bride's mom that she requested and a 'guo da li'.
Our wedding buffet(not catering) is paid by 90% myself and 10% my bride.
Upon informing...
We are looking to find a place to have our solemnization and have either chinese restaurant style lunch or international buffet with seafood for about less than 40 pax. Any hotel or restaurants to introduce?
