hi jo, the hotels u looking at seem abit on different level for comparison, like hilton, hyatt and merchant court seem on a higher range than grand plaza & crown....
i hv only attended wedding at grand plaza (yrs back) and merchant court recently. for me, i tink i will chose merchant court as i rather like the place except tat i dun like that the toilet is a common toilet for people dinning in the cafe lor...seem like no privacy and when u hving ur cocktail, u get confused if those walk in are ur guest or r they gng to the toilet...hee hee
nt quite remember the ballroom at grand plaza liao...but the hotel does look nice and 'newer' than hilton, hyatt and crown...
the reason i hv chosen crown is the food, coz i heard alot of good comment on the food for those people who attend wedding there before (me nv attend any at crown) since my MIL is more particular on food lah....second is the location, it is easy accessible for those who dun drive since it is near to MRT, third, the rate is within my budget and they are able to gif me the perk tat i tink is more impt (free flow of beer and corkage wavier etc), lastly, we like the ballroom, coz the low ceiling dun make us feel small mah...heehee...
so i guess, u hv to tink and decide which are the impt factor which u will mind alot then u will noe which hotel to chose ba...happy tinking and deciding...
