btw, is it warm there at night? n as it is a garden, do u tink we need to prepare insect repellents or spray stuff, for the guests?

Hello there!

hehe sorry I'm late. I don't often check the forum much these days cos my husband often gets to the computer before me! Anyway, I've sent you all an email and hope they're not too late

I have heard from another bride-to-be that they have stopped renting Burkill Hall out. I'm not too sure about the exact detail like if it's no rental after a certain date or not taking on new ones. It's sad that they've decided to do that. I wonder what they intend to do to the building...

JJ, It was raining at my wedding (was still drizzling during the solemnisation) and only stopped when we started the dinner so the whole place was very cooling. My husband and his friend who did most of the running about and also my dad were sweating quite a bit though but I was just the right temperature hehe. It'll be good to have some fans or cooler in the garden. The hall itself is quite cooling especially upstairs with the air-con.

I don't remember anyone complaining about the mosquitoes. Maybe cos my florist sprayed some Citronella Oil in the garden. I heard they help to keep mosquitoes away. There are places that sell candles with the scent. I have one at home and my dad said it really works.

Lemme know if anyone managed to find out about the rental of Burkill Hall!
 
Hi Freaky,

Thank you so much for you info n photos.
U look so so beautiful. N u really done a great job in plannin fror your wedding.
Everything look so beautiful, the flowers especially.

Do you have a breakdown of your wedding expenses n vendor list?

I'm going to call burkill first thing tomorrow to confirm the rental. Din hear about that from Burkill. Must check again....
 
hi freaky,

thanks so much for sharing the pics!!

i was drooling over your wedding pics..the wedding looked so perfect n the guests looked like they were enjoying every bit of it!! wa..this concept is just wat i have always wanted!!! =)))

it sure creates a very different ambience, not the typical hotel or restaurant dinner stuff.=)
goodie goodie! =P

*ok..i go check out where i can get citronella oil. he he...=P*
 
Hi all, I think they stopped renting for the moment because of renovations going on as this is their lull period. That's what they mentioned the last time I spoke to them. I'm not sure how long the renovations will take. But if your date is next year, you'll probably not have to worry

Hello Tulips, hehe thank you! I've emailed you the expenses breakdown. Hope they're useful. I love the flowers at the wedding so much I wish I've got a truck to carry them all home! Too bad the car was loaded with wine glasses and things and I could only have my hand bouquet.

JJ, I got a citronella candle from Unity Pharmacy but not all the outlets have it. You can prolly check with your florist as well if they have any of it in spray to give a wider coverage. hehe I think not all the guests are comfy there. Some do look like they would prefer the more conventional wedding though. But most importantly, we had a good time
