Wedding Banquet – Intercontinental Hotel, Singapore
Finally we managed to secure our slot at intercontinental hotel, Singapore for our actual day wedding.
Seriously, was so glad that the whole “ballroom” and “hotel” searching was over. In fact, come to think of it, its pretty funny because we had shortlisted Goodwood park hotel or Intercontinental hotel (reason being.. Intercontinental Hotel, Shanghai’s bed was super comfortable.. haha so.. made me fall in love with the Intercontinental hotel chain) for our actual day long before we decide to get married.
However, as the years goes by, we eventually didn’t want to spend too much on the wedding for we think it is only for show, thus, started searching for many other different hotels and venues. Still.. we came back to Intercontinental…
I remember It was a Monday, It was like.. 4 or 5am and I was comparing our previous wedding hotels and ballrooms, food menus and of course.. the price (We shortlisted Grand Park and Crown Plaza and Novotel).
Eventually, I just thought… well.. why not just pick the one that we really like.. and.. so.. went over to intercontinental to check out their details..
It was like 7am in the morning.. and I went over to my wife and say… “dear.. I’ve decided… we will take intercon”… its funny.. because you can see her surprise look.. cos.. intercontinental was already dropped like ages ago.. and never brought into any of the discussion we had previously.
Immediately, an email was sent and we arranged for a site inspection on the day itself. After seeing the ballroom… I must say.. its simply stunning… a colonial style ball room with no pillars, high ceilings and really beautiful chandeliers…I mean.. you have to see it to believe it..
and its decided.. we are taking Intercontinental… so we sat down with the event manager, David Lim… and started discussion about the packages. Of course.. I already had intercontinental in mind… so.. its really about how to finalize the packages.
David was a very nice and friendly guy… he tries to give his all and fulfill our requests for our actual day… of course, the only thing is that he seems too nice to ask for the “close”, which interesting enough, is the word that me and my wife was actually waiting for him to ask since my wife knew my decision.
So.. If any Intercon Staff found this post since its a High PR site and Show this to David.. hee.. Thanks David, you have been great… =)
We signed and paid the deposit on Saturday once the contract was prepared, ok.. temporary at that point =P but eventually received the actual contract few days later. Glad its done and well… so now.. its on to the planning and all, music hunting, photography etc
Oh… If a beautiful ballroom and great personality (wedding coordinator) is one of your “must have” criteria, do take a trip down to intercontinental hotel.
I’ll get more updates on the planning and the whole event itself to share when the time has come. ^^
