Bands/Musicians for Penang Wedding

Recommended Posts

How about your wedding pictures? Are you going to take in Miri or PG? I also need to scratch my head to get dinner gowns + makeup artist + hair stylist in Miri for my dinner. *Stress* :(

Hi there

For Miri, I have had quite a few friends here who got married last year and this year. A few shops near Boulevard shoppping area not bad with MU and gowns. I got my gown from Miri actually. Most gowns here are sent in from KL anyway so I did not bother to go anywhere else. It was love at first sight and I booked the gown immediately! :)

Hi Amyliq,

Just out of curosity which bridal shop did you get your gown from in Miri? I got married in Penang & Miri last December. :)

By the way, they can interact good english and sing good english songs...

But i dun really like thier chinese songs...

Did u choose which singers who want for your wedding day? :P

For wedding & dinner gown, you plan to rent from BS or buy your ownself?

Hi gals,

The is the pricing i got from Steel guitar last year but you still can negotiate the price. Please also aware that you have to pay for the food & beverage for the perfomers. I was annoyed as i was only told this 2 days before the wedding. They didn't mention at all when I booked them. :lol: & also it should come with confetti & smoke machine but they didn't deliver at all. So overall, I am not entire satisfied with their service.

Hello

I got my gown from Mona Lisa. At the moment only 1 wedding gown. Have yet to find my evening gown.

Did you get yours all from Penang or Miri?

Hi Amyliq,

Guess what! I have thought that your gown must be from MonaLisa as this is the only BS in Miri has a better gown i think. :lol:

I got my WG & EG frm PG - F&T, Kua fr Miri.

Happy planning!

Haha ok. Yes Mona Lisa carries a range of gowns in cream with very very nice intricate designs and I love them! One of my friends who got married in KL wore one of their gowns and everyone thought it was tailored by a private designer or something. They were so surprised when found out that her gown was from Miri!

So far planning is going ok. Thanks

Hi everyone,

FYI, steelguitar charge me 2.8K to go down to Ipoh and they did not inform me that I have to pay for their food and beverages as mentioned by dkoh...I guess I'll be very annoyed as well...dkoh, can u tell me more? ur wedding was in Pg is it and when do u have to pay for the performers' meals? lunch / dinner???

I asked them abt the singer and they said it is still too early to tell which singer as their schedule is not out yet...

I'm planning to buy a simple wed gown n evening dress as to rent from BS, it is not very cheap also...My fren told me is abt 700 n above...Anyone have any idea where I can get them in Pg??

Hi Sim,

Yupe you have to pay for their dinner (my case). They told me that it should not be more than Rm30 for 3 people but i think at the end i paid more than Rm30 for 2 persons as third one was late. They will show you the receipt at the end of reception & you just pay them then. I feel they are very unprofessional as didn't mention at all when i booked them. If they have told me when i book them, i will be very happy to pay for thier meals. However only after i have paid the deposit of Rm500, & 2 days before the wedding, they only mentioned about it. I was warned by the hotel sales executive about this as they are famous of this kind of request. To be honest, I will not go with them again if i ask me to choose again. There are plenty of good ones out there.

As about gowns, i think is cheaper to get the package from BS. If you are not interested with the prewedding shoot, just get the cheapest package. I've heard ideal wedding package is very cheap, Rm1500. It will cover your WG, EG, bouquet, car deco.... To rent a gown will cost you at least Rm500 & above. This is just my opinion.

Seems that Steel Guitar was so so unprofessional as they did not told you all when you all booked with them.

Luckily...i havent sign up with that band yet... :huh:

Else i will be one of the victim..

But when i go there, someone and not thet Steven had told me that we need to pay for thier dinner...

I dont think i will take Steel if they are so unprofessional even they had a group of great singers..

Anyone had any coments on Chakora Band??
