hi ice cream, they have different packages to suit your needs for the solemnisation. i m getting a lunch reception. it is $68 per pax.they let me use the pavilion from 1100 to 1500. so during this time, i have solemnsation, plus lunch and then the traditional tea ceremony. if u r getting the place just for solemnisation w/o food, u got to pay a rental fee for the locations. i thk its about 4k. therefore, it really depends on what u want. try to call them for a package.
hi biba, its not too late to book now esp dec is a very hot month. yah. i have it at island ballroom too. once confirmed, u got to pay them 7k. i have forgottem abt the subsequent payment. my coordinator is wendy. since u have a function with them b4, try looking for the same coordinator. ask her for some discounts.the thing abt shang is, u got to be thick skin with them. their package is not as comprehensive as the rest of the hotels, but they r good. so far i still find their wedding set up the best. they r very generous with flowers n plants!
frankly speaking, u cant go wrong in choosing shang.
