Reception Hall...

morning bridezilla!!! :)

again... i will update u on my wedding preparation...

ok, i've done with my wedding planner, caterer and photography (i guess)... so, now! lets move on to another important thing which i think i shud put this to NO. 1 thingy in my "what to do" list...

Yes! it is Reception Hall... i'm quite particular in choosing types of hall coz the first thing i would look at is the surrounding of the wedding ceremony that i'd attended. Coz surrounding will create an ambiance and ambiance make your wedding theme become real...from my personal opinion.. :p

first thing u have to set in mind is what theme would it be for your wedding. if u ask me... till now, im still stuck but dont worry coz i believe everybody had attend more than 10 weddings at different halls right?

so, basically...for me, i would prefer hall with fully carpet and with acoustic panel on the wall. From that, i would look at the color of the carpet and the acoustic panel. Shud be natural color and not toooo bright... For example, the overall color of the hall is red than yor theme is blue and obviously that 2 colors didnt blend together so im afraid ur wedding pictures will full of color like circus. hahaha... am i too fussy?! hahha... i think everybody will agree with me...

Orite, now... we have to do some survey. Surely, my parents will suggest hall that is near to our house and i think non of the hall nearby is as per my 'dream' hall. The best hall that is quite near to my house is somewhere around Putrajaya. Bangi to Putrajaya is not that far aight? i think it shud be no problem for my guest to get there since Putrajaya is a known place.

There are so many halls in Putrajaya... lets take a look at the hall with fully carpet n acoustic panels... before that, just to let u know, all dewan in Putrajaya is under Perbadanan Putrajaya so please refer to them for booking. Here are the list and the price:

1. Dewan Seri Melati : RM 4,000++ with 380 capacity

2. Dewan Seri Siantan : RM 8,500++ with 1000 capacity

for Dewan Seri Siantan, i've given a choice to choose the whole dewan or juz renting half of it since its quite a large dewan.

3. Dewan Seri Seroja : RM 3,500++ with 250 capacity

4. Dewan Seri Endon : under Puspanita,

i heard the price is RM 10,000 ++

++ means u have to consider the price for the tables, chairs, PA system and etc. The price has been increased by the PPJ since last April. Double up ok! How cruel!!!

since i got no choice... i've decided to book for Dewan Siantan 1 (half of Seri Siantan)and the price is RM 4,500++ Let's take a look at the hall interior... (it can cater 500 guest in 1 time)...

View from pelamin area (in front) The 3 doors at the back is connect
inside and outside hall area

View from side (when this hall open both side) as a normal practice, the bride n the groom will get into this hall during reception through that open door and walk in L shape red carpet to the dais...

the dais will be in between that 2 doors - have to organize the flow/movement of the caterer because that 2 doors are connect to the service kitchen. they will move in and out many times through this door during that 'day'...

outdside hall area at the back - from that 3 doors from pic no. 1 (still can cater about 200 guests)

suggest tables' arrangement for 'Makan Beradap'

tables' arrangement for buffet line and spaces needed around it - need a gap between guest's tables

in overall, i love this hall and i think my guests will be comfortable eating and chating on my wedding day. since my wedding are not 'makan serentak' so im not worry bout no of tables and chairs coz guest will keep coming and back. BUT....

there are 2 things that make me worry about this hall are :
1. it is at the second floor of bangunan Perbadanan Putrajaya. so, i & hadry have to go upstairs by using lift or escalator. Hopefully my long dress will not stuck in any of those 2 'machines'! OMG!

2. i hate when En Faizal (person incharge of the hall reservation) told me on that date... there will be another wedding ceremony at the first floor... no way! i have to share the VIP hall? again, no way! i have to think of other options... arrggghhhh... i also have to think how to guide guests to go upstairs. maybe i need a lot of poster or whatever! cost! :(
