my wedding was in nov 12. here is my honest opinion about this studio for reference to future brides... i hope this will be useful.
well, on the whole, hubby and my experience with mdw is soso. there is nothing to rave about if u r talking about service. so if u r looking for service and caring helps for wedding, this will not be the place for u. a number of small things that are easily overlooked and are expected to be taken care of by bridal studio, will not be provided and turned down upon request as well, unless u are willing to fork out extra $$ (out of your package). things like AD accessories, prewed photo props, etc. are on additional $$.
photos viewing wise, quite hardsell. there is discount if u get more photos but not as much if u compare with outside or even overseas. choosing photos can be a pretty stress experience there. we didnt really enjoy the photo selection bit where rachel helped us with.
as for the gowns, before i signed up with them, i been to two bridal shows and i was pretty amazed at their gowns. but come to me really choosing their gowns, i had difficulty. those prettier gowns need may belong to VIP range etc, u need to top up $. BUT in the end, i was still able to choose sth i like and close to my ideal. i had to give credits to gown coord - Candy. she is v patient and i find that she understands what brides need and are looking for. maybe she was also a recent bride. in anycase, overall pretty good experience with her in gown selection. in fact, i find xiaoAi is not bad too although i had no fate with her.
as for makeup, i had no biggy problem with them. i will recommend Sasha, she is pretty good and patient. she is punctual, sweet and patient. i m satisfed with her makeup skills.
for photoshoot, it was really an enjoyable time with them. i think of all the times dealing with them, photoshoot seems to be the only occasion hubby and i enjoyed. seriously. hahaha. my PG is Jackson, assistant is Irene, MUA is Sasha. although Irene is female, she tried her best to help carry the things ard and assist the PG though the time of my photoshoot i find her not v experienced in flipping the dress yet for camera effect. but i ve nth to complain about her and in fact i thought she is pretty helpful and fun to have ard in making the entire photoshoot enjoyable. as for Jackson, he is totally fun to be with for photoshoot. try to go for him if u can, is really an enjoyable experience. photos wise, they may not turn out to be the best, but the experience of the photoshoot was sth hubby and i will never forget.
pretty mixed in my reviews, bits of negative and some positive. u take your pick brides, good luck! happy new year!
