I'm intending to hold my dinner in a restaurent about 30 tables. I've tweaked the menu abit so that better food is served (for eg, hashima for dessert and fresh abalone instead of canned ones). Also planned to do up the place with great flowers to match my theme.
Problem is, I'm worried abt wat ppl may think of the venue. Would they think that my dinner is not 'class' or 'grand' enough? Or that the food doesn't make up for anything?
I'm ok with the venue cuz 1) the price and the new menu is a steal 2) the restaurent is actually my distant cousin's 3) the food is really gd.
I mentioned this to one of my bridesmaids and she said that "wedding is once in a lifetime, why dun do it with a big bang at a gd hotel? make it grand and beautiful." This comment has been bothering me and I'm tempted to split the ROM and dinner into 2 days where I'd invite only relatives and close friends for the later.
What do u guys think? Does it really matter whether a banquet is held at a very 'atas' hotel or at a restaurent?
hi sheep, restaurant or hotel both does not matter... wat matters is that u will enjoy ur wedding, ur guest enjoys the food.
there are pros and cons for both venues:
hotel:
pros: grand, got style, can play until late late, normally got bridal suite and a day room for helpers.
cons: expensive, food so-so for the cheaper range.
restaurant:
pros: food wise good, some restaurants also got style (u can check if u like ur cousin's restaurant), price wise, doesn't cost u an arm or leg. can negotiate for a hotel stay.
cons: most restaurants deco only so-so. no bridal suite --> will take some time to get from the hotel to restaurant.
Me also having it in a rest. But the deco is nice, not so-so. I am sure the venue I have is going to make a diff from those hotel ballroom. Beside saving $$ is more impt. The venue I have doesnt make me burn a hole in my pocket, plus they come with live band which is save my cost also. And best of all, the price is great. But of cos there is cons, they dont have projector so we have to source ourself. The march-in is not like those hotel ballroom, straight and comes with dry ice... mine dont have it.
All in all, it just a one day event, dont becos of wa others might feel and make a big hole in ur pocket... I see some ppl in debt becos they wa a grand wedding. I also see some 5 star hotel, the food also so-so and guests comment ab it. Imagine u pay so much and end up ppl comments. In hotel or rest, there will be comments given de. Wedding is both parties, u cant make all ppl happy. As long as both the couple feel comfortable with the price, food and the venue.... I am sure all ur guests will feel happy.
Enjoy every moment.
