Photography and Videography to get under S$2,500

I've finally come to the end of my research and booked my photographer (PG) and videographer(VG). This process is by far the most tedious.

Banquet Orchard Hotel

Themes Orchard hotel is one of the first hotels that i viewed due to it reasonable pricing and high and pillarless ceilings. And my favourite, chandeliers! In summary a perfect ballroom and a very comfortable suite. Or so i've heard. Its chinese restaurant food Hua Ting also came recommended through friends. Choice of themes include Indulgence, Dazzling dreams or Celestial charm. A pity i'm unable to share these themes with you except for one.

Cost of a Wedding

The below entry, has put things more into perspective for a wedding. At least for my case. Here's the blog entry from financecents. You can refer to his blog on www.financecents for other information. A modern wedding can be broken down into: 1) Wedding Package - this includes wedding gowns, studio and outdoor shoots, wedding albums and wedding cars. 2) Wedding Bands - rings the couple put on each others’ fingers after saying their vows. 3) Solemnization - ceremony of saying your vows, exchanging rings and being married by a Justice of the Peace. 4) Videographer & Photographer - for your special day 4) Wedding Banquet - a wedding lunch or dinner, sometimes a buffet. 5) Honeymoon - couple’s time all alone to maybe help in Singapore’s population crisis, usually overseas.
