what do you think about holding wedding at hdb void deck

goodheart SG

Alot of people will chose to organise their wedding at expensive and grand hotels.

What do you think about couples who hold their wedding at the hdb void deck and let the guests eat buffet lunch or dinner instead?

Do you think they are very stingy and got no money?

I think it is better to have the wedding at the void deck. The couple can save money and the guests also can save money by giving a smaller ang bao..

I want to reply you, but its not nice for me to say it here, so I'll just STFU.

goodheart SG

I am just asking. I am not getting marry

QX179R SG

I find it ok ah..
nothing wrong mah..

perhaps its due to the kampong tradition lor..

Askingyouto SG

Sometimes, the couple relatives might gossip behing them and the wife might lose comparative arguments with her peers then she will screw her husnband upside down over this.

Better not, although save money which I think is good for young couples but still try to come up with a good budget wedding. Too risky, wedding, to some only one time, better not have regrets or chances for people to badmouth you in the future.

some people wants fancy stuff, some people dont due to financial or they just dont like fancy stuff =x lols.

wedding will be in your memory forever u will never forget so its best to make those weddings the best ones ^^. I dont want to get married but wedding sure is beautiful regardless where the location is.

WHatever makes both the bride and groom happy. I have been to weddings in the void deck and the food was fantastic as the groom's mom personally cooked. But problem is the weather gets you hot and bothered. Regardless, good luck!

holding wedding at void deck is not as cheap as u think

go find out the costs first.

i think weddings at those high class hotels(shang ri la etc) are a huge ripoff,u expect the food to be world class for $1000+ per table,but its just typical chinese wedding crap and the good dishes dont even have enough servings for everyone to eat to their heart's desire.they just stuff ur stomach with extra courses just to make u think ur full.

mothereffer for $1000/table dinner i expect aaron kwok to seranade me while i bite into my honey roasted camel hump and koala pie.the doorgifts suck,the desserts suck,the entertainment sucks,now wedding even got powerpoint slide telling the couple's love story,like the guests could give a shit.at the end of the day it boils down to you just paid $50,000 to impress a room full of distant relatives and strangers that u dont even know.

worst i think the only party that benefit in the end is shangri la,their hotel lobby is so beautiful and luxurious u instantly feel out of place its obvious ordinary singaporeans have to pay thru their teeth just to have their wedding night in the hotel,us poor singaporeans belong in our ugly overpriced blocks of concrete

Whatever makes the bride and groom feel at ease is fine. I personally would never hold a wedding reception at the void deck, but I don't mind other people doing it. None of my business.

troublemaker2005 SG

if financially tight for chinese usually couples will at least hold at a restaurant.

Loor SG

If everyone involved can ignore the societal branding associated with holding a void-deck wedding, then why not? I think the amount people spend on weddings nowadays are waaay too much anyway.

Btw axxs - what kinda camel hump are you referring to?!

dragg SG

void deck is too sudden a change.

maybe go for weddings at restaurants instead of hotels.

my friend did that. his wedding was held with another couple.

i believed he saved a lot of money.

if ppl see is restoran nia they oso wun give much ang pao, compared to hotel banquets

so the profit and loss is abt the same

but i must say, some restorans de food taste much better than hotels'

NG QIBO AARON AUBREY SG

its the people attending the wedding that end up paying for the whole affair. so those who remain single cannot recoup their 'losses'.

FireIce SG

u attend wedding to give ur frens blessings. or to earn money or to worry abt lose money?

and those getting married, are u sincerely inviting ppl to share the happiness or trying to profit?
if cannot afford, then dun think of ritz or shangrila or capella

Loor SG

So going back to the topic....what do people think of having a wedding at the void deck?

fsDouglasLee SG

The main question is?
What I think?
Or what people think?

For me, it’s okay. I think the kampong feeling is great.

As a Chinese, would I? I won’t, because I’m afraid of the heat. I sweat so much that my suit would be soaked before the day ends. And that could mean no “moving room” (dong fan).

What others think?
I don’t think the Chinese can accept it yet.
Even a buffet style wedding lunch at a restaurant is frowned upon. The older folks complain, “Aiyo, no service one”, “Must queue up”, “So troublesome”.

Conclusion?
It’s your wedding, man (or woman). As long as both of you are happy, go ahead. There’s no need to care about what others think.

Footnote?
The wedding is only the beginning. What is more important is learn to treasure the relationship and live happily together. It’s takes a lot of giving. But it’s worth it.

Toe note?
Congrats. (Not necessarily to invite the who Sgforums gang lah). Razz
