Booked my venue!!

After using 1 year looking for our AD venue, we have finally booked it!!!

PARKROYAL @ KITCHENER (PR @ KR)
http://www.parkroyalhotels.com/en/hotels/singapore/kitchener_road/parkroyal/index.html
Our coordinator - Don Ng. bqtsalesmgr@kr.parkroyalhotels.com


Picture is taken from the parkroyal hotel website.


What's makes us consider this place:


  • Good comments on food
  • Don is flexible
  • Near LRT (Farrer Park)
  • Bridal room is beautiful
  • Price is just right on our budget
  • Hotel has just renovated recently so everything is quite new
  • The toilet on the ballroom area is very big and clean
  • Liked the favours (shot glass!!)
  • Not in CBD area. Unlikely to have traffic jam

What's stopping us?


  • It is just beside Mustafa so it might be too crowded at night
  • Not too many comments on this hotel (maybe its good news too)
  • Guest might go to the wrong Parkroyal as there is one more at Beach road
  • Pillars in the ballroom
  • The ceiling a bit low

How did we know about this place?

Was at the parkroyal hotel bridal show, 4 May 08, at beach road and PR @ KR set up a counter over there as well. At first didn't have good impression on PR @ beach rd. Then we decide to walk one round and go back. Then we came into this room where it features all the set up from PR @ KR.

Don approaches us and we had a run through on the benefits. Well the first thing it attracted us is the pricing!! For yr 2009 pricing, we have seen so many packages this is one of the cheapest that i can find. Don't ask me how much is that. Check with Don please. And if possible mention that i recommend you to go. Hahaha.... At first we have reservation to see this place as its at the little indian. You know ppl will have this thinking "Oh little indian ar. Sure very cheapo and a lot of Indians moving around" then we manage to get rid of this stupid idea and go with a free mind, no obligation. After the bridal show, we drove over to PR @ KR to recce the venue and Jamie was there receiving us. Had a great time looking around and even won a lunch buffet voucher.

We didn't decide on the spot. Went back, talk to both parents on the cons of the place and even brought WL mum to recce the place on 9 May 08. Approval chopped. We made an appointment with Don on the 10 May 08. We were late for the appointment and he has to wait for us for 1 hour. So paiseh. Went for breakfast, confirmed the package and paid $3K using UOB credit card (cos got free 1 tbl if use this card).
