Wedding Preparations: Wedding Venue at Resort World Sentosa

I am slowly getting back to my normal life after 6 months of craziness at work. Though work is still busy, it was not as busy as the first quarter. I kinda slack back since i am preparing for our wedding next month.

Wedding next month , oh god!

I have not been blogging about my wedding preparations journey and i thought that i should be doing it since i am getting married next month. Love and I are very chillax as we wanted a simple wedding. As we grow older, we place importance in different aspect of life.

Let's start off by saying our wedding location.

Deciding on our Wedding Location  

It didn't took us too long to decide a venue since we almost ran out of venues. Our wedding date is 15 Sept 2018 and we were only booking 7 months in advance. Besides being a popular date, it is also the F1 period. We went to a few places but they were all fully booked for both wedding lunch and dinner. In Jan 2018, we attended the wedding Bows at Bugis and we knew that we had to book a place somehow. Park Royal Pickering, Kitchener are booked, Hotel Park Royal is booked, Novotel is booked etc. Basically the whole suntec area is untouchable since the road will be closed for F1 Semi-Final and all our guests would need to enter the area by foot. In the end, our choices are left with Rasa Sentosa and RWS. Rasa Sentosa was too far away and there are limited parking slots. In the end, we decided to go for Resort World Sentosa Convection Center. Honestly, the perks for RWS are not very enticing but due to our limited choices, we went ahead with them instead. 

In the RWS package, we have 

- Soft Drinks  (Coke, Sprite and Orange)

- Mixed nuts on cocktail stands

- Chinese Tea during dinner

- Free flow of beer during commencement of dinner tl end

- Complimentary 1 x bottle of wine per table

-  Waiver of corkage charge for  duty paid and sealed hard liquor

- 25% of car passes (additional at $12 nett)

- 70% of invitation cards from total confirmed tables

- 2 night stay in Ocean suite with breakfast for 2

- 2 Ang Bao boxes 

There are total 8 dishes and the table cost $1,388++. One table can host maximum 11 pax and the extra 1 pax is chargeable. 

Package is almost standard with the rest but the thing is, we are not allowed to bring in third party vendor for foods. Eg, I wanted to have a dessert table from XXX Company but RWS management doesn't allow. If you want to have dessert table, RWS will be able to provide at a charge comparable to market rate. However, if you want to bring in a wedding band, they of course will you to.  Anything except food.

And that is so far on our choice for RWS. I shall slowly blog on the rest of wedding preps soon.
