jetwedding: think its depend on individual bah.. initial i'm bothered like you now.. but in term of package and & budget and capacity, min table is all within our needs & budget.. so my htb & me finally managed to convince ourself and our parents..
actually like what i share in 2012 BTB thread.. same thread with Shanna,
"every hotel has its own story for some 'incidents' in the past, be its wedding related or not.. it just happen that this case is the most recent cases and later follow by the bride's suicide and this is why parents have deep impression against it..
since this is your event,you are paying for dinner, and its within your budget, so just go with your heart.. "
if it really bother you, then i think better think carefully..
