oh ya for our banquet venue, we hv been to umpteen hotels to discuss n see, wah! so tiring! but lots of surprises too... i hv seen almost all hotels in my list n out of my list (kiasu ;p) n so far top of my list is (was) marriott, westin, merchant court, panpac. next week to see meritus and marina mandarin, so dunno yet.
after initial comparison, i was almost 95% sure i will take marriott, cos of location, ballroom, food, and very impt, none of my frens/ relatives/ colleagues hv their wedding there recently, so wil hv a different feel. i was so excited! n my FH agreed (he prefers westin).
but very sad! yesterday when i went to discuss the package with the gal, she said their 2006 package has just increased price 2 weeks ago!!!! mid april she emailed me 738n for 8course, 768n - 9c. but she said her mgmt decided to increase to 768n - 8c, 808n - 9c to match the other hotels!!! i was so devastated i cldnt sleep last nite!
the prob is we wanted to change the fish, so the price will b abt $40 more, so wif $40 increase and $40 upgrade, it's gonna be so unrealistic! *sigh* i think i will hv to start comparing n decide again.... oh i m really very sad .... *sigh*
