wow, going to take the plunge soon? anyways, here's some of the
money you'll have to spend...i'll presume you're chinese...
wedding bands depends on the design, with or without
diamonds...most ppl now go for white gold, and a decent pair would
cost ard at least $500, without diamonds...
foto shoots depends if you wan to get a packaged deal, mine cost
ard $4k, including dinner shoots, car rentals, studio and actual
day make up...
the dinner banquet itself depends on locations...normally,
dinner at restaurants cost at least $800 per table, and that is for
weekdays...expect to pay more for weekends..venues like country
clubs or other non-hotel restaurants (e.g shopping centres) costs
anything from $388 per table, depending on menus...dun forget to
include GST...there shouldn't be any service chage though...and
you'll probably get a complimentary nite stay if you are holding it
in hotels...
also, beware of "hidden" costs...like how much dowry and
gifts(like cans of pig trotters, cakes etc, depending on dialect
groups) the ladies side requests, and then there are neccessary
items for different dialect groups' tradition, like clogs, baby's
bath tub, fans(those paper, foldable types, not electrical)...all
these costs ard 2-3 hundred, excluding dowry...also, your bride
might want to go for facials prior to the shoot and dinner, which
should set you back another 5-6 hundreds for a package...
phew...just mentioning these brought back nightmares, i mean,
memories...
which is better? country club or hotel?
e.g. the package cost/ambience/food...etc.
hotels like marina mandarin, marriott
country club like raffles town club...
