My wedding experience with companies in Singapore

I haven’t have the time to talk about my wedding experience which I have gone through with my wife.  Now I have finally done all the celebration with my wife, I finally have the time to talk about my experience with the companies we had to talk to.

After I had proposed to her on her birthday on 28 August 2008, we have decided to start our venture to look for the various companies to help us with our wedding preparation.

Our Bridal Shop Experience

First of all, we went to look for a bridal shop who can fulfill our needs of taking wedding photos, and to dress up for our wedding night.  We went to the first few shops along Tanjong Pagar.  We went to the first few, and find it really exciting to look for more to find out which one is suitable.  Then, we met ZWedding.  The salesperson has been telling us that 24 full page photographs and 8 digital photographs for our photo album is good enough at a few thousand dollars.  My wife-to-be has been hearing from her friends that it is not enough, while the salesperson kept on arguing that we don’t need so many photos.  I trusted this salesperson for what she said.  Guess what?  We really chose only just nice for what we needed, and they kept on pushing for more photos while they can.  Reason being “These photos are so nice, it will be a waste if you don’t print them out.”  

I just find it a little mismatch between the two sayings in the previous paragraph.  I knew my wife really wanted the photographs because her mindset is that this is only once in a lifetime.  I did not reject any of the photos for sure, and go for as many photos as we think are nice.  And the price shot up to two times more than the original amount I have spent.  In the end, we have 51 digital photos.  Take a look at them in my flickr.

You might think the clothes are very nice on my wife.  Actually, she wasn’t very happy because she just cannot find the dress that she wanted.  As for me, I have less than 5 clothes to choose from.  Just trying to make the best out of what I can since I have already paid up a few thousand dollars.

I heard that Bridal Concept seems quite good, but I just didn’t have the chance to go there… :(

Our Hotel Experience

We chose M Hotel to have our wedding dinner.  This hotel is best recommended by me!  I like the hotel room that they have prepared for me.  I feel like a king there!  Thanks Simon for helping me to arrange such a wonderful night!

I find this hotel is giving us at a very good value for its money.  Thank God that we are able to break even for the dinner.  They are very professional in their serving of food, wedding ceremony and everything.  No amount of words can sufficently describe how much I am really appreciative of them.

My Wedding Video

I met Jimmy and Alicia when they are looking for couples who are preparing for wedding.  We are very glad to have them as our actual day videographer, and he also brought in a very good photographer to help us take photos throughout the whole day.  You can view Jacky’s portfolio here.   See my videographer how professional he is when he is taking photos of a car.  The two of them are perfect for my wedding that day.  Take a look at our photos.  Also take a look at our video.

Our Story in Video

This is another well-spent investment to make memorable wedding dinner.  We had two videos done by Coffee & Tea Dreamworks.  They are as follows:

  1. Cartoon Animation of our story
  2. Photo montage of our story

I think the guys are fantastic over there!  Check them out!

Conclusion

As a whole, the whole experience is still not so bad.  We had also spent other times to go Courts to buy our bed, Ikea to buy our wardrobe, and some other furniture shop to buy our cupboard and such.  This is my experience I had.  A very good first experience which I think any wedding couple will never forget too. :)
