  1. It really depends on your guests - how well they know each other, how sociable they are. If most of your guests know each other and are quite sociable, then it can be quite a lively event cos they will talk to each other, catch up, socialise and make it quite happening. But if your guests don't know each other very well, they stick to themselves or their own group then it can be quite boring and dull as there is not much interaction. Like what the others before be say, they will just go grab their food, eat for about 20 minutes and then stare at each other after they are done eating and wondering what to do next. You need to fill in with more entertainment and activities to keep things 'alive'. I think it is an Asian thing - people unfortunately tend to be more willing to socialise and are 'forced' to interact when they are forced to sit down on one table and while waiting for their food, will talk and interact with each other. Everyone knows that the dinner and event is not over yet and there is more to come. Also, be careful about buffet dinners - usually the older generation don't really like the buffet style, as they perceive it as being 'less grand' and quality of food is not as good as a traditional sit down dinner. Feedback may not be very good.
  2. Have you checked out Cyberview Resort or Equatorial Bangi? I have come across some garden weddings there followed by reception, but you need to check the ballroom capacity. I think Saujana Hotel and also Pullman Putrajaya can also do it?
  3. I would prefer air-conditioned dinner because of the Malaysian weather and also the mosquitoes. Generally, I have heard feedback after attending outdoor weddings and majority of guests complain about the heat, humidity, mosquitoes and the buffet food not coming up to mark. Additionally, Malaysian weather is also very unpredictable and if it rains or just rained heavily before your event, the soil will be muddy and soggy and that is not a nice experience. Although outdoor weddings are quite 'in', unfortunately the Malaysian weather does not make it a nice experience. My advice is don't do outdoor weddings for the sake of trying to be different - but also keep in mind your guests and the feedback from your family members. Ultimately, you would also want everyone to have a nice time at your wedding since everyone has taken the time to attend and celebrate your special day with you.
  4. Have you tried asking HGH Convention Hall (http://www.hghconvention.com/) located in Sentul? I have been to dinners there and they allow external caterers and are not sticky about alcohol being served.The hall is very professionally fitted out - has big stage, lightings, backdrop etc. Hall is also pillarless and can seat many tables.
  5. Thank you very much serendipity_gal for your feedback... appreciate it a lot.. at least now i feel more confident about this place. :) cause earlier my sister told me she had a fren who had a bad experience with SDCC. Food was cold and their table menu was done wrong etc.. glad yours was all good.. :) I think with every venue, there is also the element of luck involved. Even a place which has perfect reviews may also have something go wrong. So I think you should read up about past mistakes or where things go wrong and discuss it with the ppl in charge of the venue and try to ensure that this does not happen to your event. Good luck and hope your wedding preps go smoothly! :)
  6. You can also try spraying the area where the cockroaches can enter with pesticide once every week to prevent them from entering the house. I spray on the floor of the gap between the door and floor and find that there are less cockroaches entering the house. Also, spray a little pesticide into a black/dark colour container (plastic container that you won't use anymore) and the baby cockroaches will be drawn to go into the dark container and die inside the container after coming into contact with the pesticide. The dark container should be kept somewhere secluded and dark and obviously away from babies or pets. You can just throw away the container after you feel that you have trapped sufficient cockroaches. Hope the above tips help.
  7. I had my wedding at SDCC back in May 2011. We thought the wedding went very well - we particularly like the spacious pillarless grand ballroom, can fit many tables (up to 100 tables) and Mr. Lee is very accommodating and helpful. Service on that night was smooth and everything went well. Food was also good and we have good feedback from the guests. The reception area is spacious, unlike some places where the reception and ballroom feels cramped if you fit many tables and guests. We also loved the fact that parking and access to the place is easy, free parking for guests and location is in between KL and PJ (for convenience of most of our guests).
  8. Hi there, The paediatrician at Hospital Sungai Long, Cheras is quite good. He is a nice Chinese doctor, patient, friendly and good with children. He is detailed in explaining the treatment and diagnosis to parents - he will check thoroughly and will not simply give medication if not necessary. Consultation fee during normal clinic hours is RM 50 and follow-up consultation is RM30. Good thing is don't have to wait long to see the doctor cos it is a community hospital. Not like other major private hospitals in KL where the waiting time is just horrible.
  9. We got our wedding invites from Thomas Lee. He is located in a corner shop around the Pudu area. You can call him at 0162211289 for further details. His service is very good, he is patient, friendly and can give you suggestions. His prices are very reasonable too. We were very happy with our cards as well as his service.
  10. You should check out the wedding invitations at Thomas Lee (0162211289). His shop is located in the Pudu area (where all the printing shops are located). His prices are very reasonable (starting from RM1 per pc) and he is very patient and friendly. His designs are quite nice too and you can customise the cards to a certain extent. We were very happy with our wedding invites and would highly recommend him (especially if you are on a budget).
  11. I have tailored a cheongsam for my wedding dinner with White & Lacy. Paulyn is patient and professional. She is very careful and pays attention to details. She also tailors a lot of wedding gowns. Maybe you can drop by and see if you can find anything off the rack, if not then can get a quote from her for your gown? I really loved my cheongsam, and the price was also reasonable for the quality of lace & fabric and workmanship. You have to make an appointment first: White & Lacy 30A Jalan SS22/25, Damansara Jaya, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Tel: (+60) 03 7729 5262 or (+60) 012 212 5262 to make an appointment.
  12. Hi Crystal, maybe you can consider Desmond Ting? He was emcee for my dinner - spoke English and Cantonese. He was very good, very professional and made the dinner lively. He coordinated the entire dinner very well - we started early and everything ran very smoothly - I didn't need to stress during the dinner. His toast (yum seng) good words were quite unique. Everyone loved it and many asked me for his contact after the dinner. Let me know if you want his contact. Happy planning!
  13. Hi there, Anyone has any recommendation for a good actual day wedding photographer in KL? Our budget is around RM 2000 - 2500 for actual day photography. There are so many photographers out there. Not sure which ones are really good and reliable. The photographer should also be professional, responsive and easy to deal with. Anybody has any suggestions or recommendations, please share with me. Many thanks! :)
  14. I was recommended a DKJ called Gwai Jie. Anyone used her services before and if so, any comments? I got her contact from Anna, who is already booked for my AD.
  15. Hi there, I am looking for a dai kum jie for my tea ceremony in KL. She should be able to speak Cantonese and Hokkien and not the pushy or bossy type, preferrably more modern type, but still can say nice, auspicious things and make the event lively. Can someone please give me contacts and recommendations? I have heard of top and popular DKJ but I don't know who these ppl are. Would appreciate your help. Many thanks!
