Wedding Venue
Long before we decided to get marry, we already decide to chose Conrad Hotel as our Wedding Dinner Venue. This is where we first had our dinner together...(Angie N WT wedding dinner) hehe ...But....we found out Conrad Hotel could only held 35 tables maximum. We had to give up the location as we are looking at places that could hold 40-50 tables. By the way, Conrad Bridal Suite is super spacious and nice.
Here is a list of places we went for wedding fair that meet our crietria...
Mandairn Orchard (Grand Ballroom)
Pros: - The High Ceiling, Pillarless , Inteligent Lighting for the Ballroom
- Location : In the heart of Orchard Road
- ROM and Dinner Venue is side by side
- The Pre-Event Hosting area is private
Cons: - The hotel sturcture is abit complicated, guest might be confused where is the ballroom
- The bridal Suite is small and dated compare to other suite we seen
We wanted to book this hotel as Nick really like their grand ballroom...but when we called the wedding planner and told her that we wanted to go down to place deposit she told us someone had already block the date , she had to check with the person first. We are shocked as we do not know that actually you can block the date while you considering other venue, you will be given priority if someone else wanted the venue. No one had advise us actually we can do that!!! To all brides and groom who are looking for venue...just block the date for whichever hotel you are interested while considering others. You will be alerted if someone else is interested in the venue..they would be at your mercy...
Anyway the couple decided that they wanted the venue...so we had to go hunt for other venue...thou we are disappointed....we tried booking more than one year ahead but still could not get the venue we wanted....** Book Early!!!
The small ballroom (low ceiling)
The Medium Ballroom, this ballroom is very modern and chic looking. It is quite different from your normal wedding ballroom..looks abit like theater hall ...the wedding couple is on the stage.
Staircase leading up to the Grand Ball Room...
Bridal Suite
Fairmount Hotel
Pros: - Big Ballroom and Tall ceiling Ballroom that can hold up till 100 tables
- Very nice bridal suite with very nice view
- Very central Location, located on top of shopping mall, guests can go shopping before dinner
Cons : - Banquet food is outsource
- The pre-function area is very public
- The theme decoration is not attractive
- Very conventional hall feel
Additional Decoration that you can top up...
ROM Room
The Beautiful Bridal Suite..
Helpers room
All come with this super nice scenic view of Singapore....
Out of curiosity and promises of free meal, we went to the wedding fair at Singapore flyers thou the banquet room is too small for us. The room was nice and the mini buffet treats is elegant and nice. Good for couple who is considering solemnization venue or for corporate events.
Finally we decided to settle for Marriott Hotel as it fits our requirement. We did not view the actual Bridal Suite as we reach Marriott quite late during the wedding fair. From the photos, it look quite modern.
Pros: - The ballroom can fit 50 tables
- High ceiling , the ballroom comes with intelligent lighting
- private pre-function area
- the deals at the wedding fair was good
- location is in the middle Orchard Road
Cons: - one pillar in the ballroom
- hotel looks abit old ( they are changing the ballroom carpet and wallpaper this October)
- Solemnization area not as cosy and convenient as Mandarin Orchard
Long Walkway to the Ballroom, this area would be corner off during the wedding dinner.

ReplyDeleteElated to know about your wedding venue. Few weeks ago, I arranged my sister’s wedding at one of lovely DC wedding venues. Invited all my family and friends for this event and we all enjoyed this wedding in a grand fashion.
