Hi Count,
While Rasel would have well done deco for their workshop, gotta keep in mind tt it's a workshop to attract potential clients to sign up. If u take a look at the menu, for a tea recep, the food's somewhat all like frozen & processed stuff rite? Tt's why I gave them a miss esp since it's $8 for snacks
My set-up by Elsie's was really simple. Becoz I catered for over 300 ppl, I negotiated for silk floral deco. Nothing too elaborate, just tall stalks of purple orchids on each serving line. Dun really remember, but def not garish looking ones.
The fellowship hall wasn't too dark. It is dark coz usually between 0800 - 1300, it isn't necessary to turn the lights on rite? But for a wedding, lights were turned on, so def not dim at all
There def was enough food to begin with, but somehow the silly caterers who did the set-up, placed the styrofoam boxes where the plates are. Gosh, ill-mannered guests merrily helped themselves!
I didn't ask for them to reduce no. of dishes for the $5 menu, it's offered at $5 for 9 dishes & 2 drinks. I got coffee/tea & fruit punch. Love the fruit punch, esp having not drunk any water during the ceremony.. heehee
Think about ur preference, whether it is on food or set-up. I gear twd thinking tt most guests wld be interested in the food rather than the set-up, though BTBs who are on the lookout for a caterer may pay more attention to the finer details such as the set-up.
