Hi, just wanna check with you guys is it weird for a banquet without cake cutting session and champagne pouring. Cos i do not wish to have that.

My plan is to have one march in to do my solemnization. After tat it will be buffet style dinner where i wish to have more mingle around session for my guests instead of just sitting at one table for the whole night.

Kindly share your views guys. Thanks
 


yup tat's what i think so too. But maybe my concern is worry those elders will start gossiping after everything.. eg. "like saying how come so simple, eveyrthing also dun have." Think i should just try not to think of the worst.
 
Hi brian

We did exactly what you have in mind at our wedding recently. Prior to it we already informed our families of it and we had no problems whatsoever. Our guests loved it and found it refreshing cos it was more like a huge party rather than the usual wedding. We had fun too mingling and chatting with our guest

Hi Xueyi, great to hear that it's a success. Got a couple of questions to check with u.

So u had your tea ceremony at the same day? Where u held your wedding? How many tables? Will it be congested while the guest is queuing up for the buffet?

Thanks
 
Hi brian

Yes, had tea ceremony on same day in a small function room at Hotel Fort Canning. That's where we held our wedding. We had 280 guests (28 tables) and buffet was served. It wasn't congested at all cos of the huge space available. A word of advice is that even though you plan for a buffet, make sure you do seat allocation. This is a MUST otherwise your guests will have to look for their own seat and it get's rather chaotic. I can say for sure cos I attended a wedding without seat allocation before. Good luck!
