Hey Hwee Hong,
Hmm... yeah my action very fast... coz of the date i die die want lor. Hah... When u go down to the music cafe, do look for Jane, the manager in charge and say you're recommended by Gelaine and Ian. Heh...
Banquet what to look out for ah? Basically will be things like whether you want a pillarless ballroom, good food, high ceiling, cheap package or what lor. Basically it's not very possible to have all the good in one venue, but take the best lor. Prioritise what is more important to you. For me and my husband, we wanted a venue with good food and a comprehensive package, yet not much blockage by pillars, Carlton has 4 big pillars but since we have only about 30 tables, the max being 38, blockage will not be too extensive though still have. Similarly, it's the first feel when u view the ballroom and talk to the coordinator lor. Initially we wanted Amara, coz the ballroom is gorgeous, pillarless and nice. But we din feel too comfortable with the person in charge, thus gave it a skip. Amara has quite good package too. Heh.. and their bridal suite is nice too... Heh...
