winnie, if your cousin choose parlroyal @ kitchener road, wouldn't you want to choose another hotel? cos you may not want your relatives to go back to the same hotel again isn't it? anyway, i know you're shortlisting it only lah..but just thought if i were you, i will refrain from using the same hotel
i haven't been to club chinos before and like what you have highlighted, it's rather far from the mrt station. cos for me, i find the location of hotel is quite impt cos i don't want my guests to have a hard time going to my wedding venue..tat's why i would prefer somewhere near the mrt..
limin, well i guess we can't really compare restaurants and hotel ballrooms isn't it? some couples placed more emphasis on the food rather than the ambience...while some others are those who die die must have something like a pillarless ballroom, grand feeling, 5 star hotel, nice stage deco, etc. i guess it depends on the priority of the couples. as long as both of them are happy, that is the most impt.
my bottomline is "spend within your limit"..no point having a over-the-budget for a one-day affair and making yourself in debt even before the start of your new marriage life!
