The 5-star, 23-storey Hotel Istana City Centre Kuala Lumpur is centrally located at Jalan Raja Chulan in Kuala Lumpur’s splendid Golden Triangle. Renowned shopping malls such as Pavilion, Lot 10, Starhill, Suria KLCC and the Bintang Walk are just a few steps away. Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) and the Petronas Towers are a 10-minute walk away via the Skybridge, while the KL International Airport is an hour’s drive away. It is indeed an excellent and convenient location for your wedding guests who are visiting from other places.

Very grand wedding setting and impressive food at this classic hotel's Grand Mahkota Ballroom which can accommodate more than 1000 guests. The hotel receives fairly consistent reviews about their friendly and helpful staffs.

This is an excellent hotel with friendly staff, and in an excellent locality (5 minutes walking distance to Bukit Bintang area, Sungi Wengi Plaza, 10 mins. to Aquariu m or if you would like to walk down to the Petronas Twin Towers its 20 mins.).

We attended a wedding reception there recently and it had an Arabic theme that night. The occasion was very grand and the settings and food were impressive. The only drawback and the saddest point was when we had to perform our prayers at the hotel's surau. Despite the grandieur of the hotel, the surau was pathetic. It had the most basic facilities and even those were old and worn out. Being a Muslim in a Muslim country, it saddens me that the hotel management did not bother in upgrading the rooms in line with the rest of the building. The rooms were not to be proud of and definitely not a "talking" or profitable feature of the hotel.

Was there for a wedding dinner last weekend. Was dissapointed with the service. Firstly, the waiteress spilled red wine over me and my friend and only handed us some serviettes! I asked for a wet towel but that did not turn up till almost after 40 mins. The waitress informed her supervisor who was equally blur and handed me some dry napkins and a bath towel! As it was a wedding I did not want to make a big fuss over it. Next the manager came and asked us to go outside. He mentioned he has febreeze to treat our clothes. He made us stand outside of the ballroom in one corner and started to spray febreeze on my skirt. My god if not for the wedding I would have turned the staff upside down. They didn't even bother to offer to laundry my clothes for me! I would have thought the very least to offer. I decided to go back to my seat and continue to enjoy the wedding party. Again I saw the same waitress serving our table. It really spoilt my night! I would have expected better trained staff to be on duty with responsible supervisors overseeing their services.

I have attended a family's friend wedding there. The venue is a rectangular hall that spans deep into the hotel with a mezzanine floor. It is an interesting concept as you have two floors. What the couple did was allocated the younger guests upstairs (they drank and had fun without being watched by parents). Parents or friends of the parents of the newlyweds were all on the ground level where everything was more proper and less exciting. I would say it is a good intimate place for a wedding if you don't have much stage related programme lined up that requires guest's attention as the ones upstairs are just going to have blocked view to the stage. Cheap parking! as you can park in the Gardens but if it is on a weekend better check if mid valley convention centre is having anything on during that weekend to avoid the convention centres crowd (exhibitors and guests). My advice is to avoid baby fairs, travel related fairs. Weekends in Mid Valley. parking is a night mare.

Nestled amidst a luxurious botanical splendour, Putrajaya Marriott with its majestic Mediterranean-Moorish architecture features the largest pillar-less Ballroom in the vicinity offering a maximum guest capacity of 1200/ 1300 pax banquet style. 

With friendly & helpful staff from the planning till the wedding day, Putrajaya Marriott takes good care of their customer's wedding needs. The overall taste of the food is not bad but the main selling points are the unique ways of preparing and serving the dishes in a simple yet elegant ballroom setting with more personalized service. The bridal suite is decorated beautifully with flowers, chocolates. Situated 25km from KLCC, guests were happy with the location due to the smooth traffic and ample parking spaces but can be far for those who live in the other part of the city. The hotel is also set beautifully for pre-wedding photo shoot.

Marriott Putrajaya has made our wedding reception a memorable and pleasant one. With friendly & helpful staff from the planning till The Day. The hotel is also set beautifully for pre wedding photo shoots. On the day, the overall food presentation, taste & arrangement of the ballroom exceeded our expectation. The decoration was also to our liking, simple yet elegant. The bridal suite was decorated beautifully with flowers, chocolates and scented sweetly. Guest were very happy with the smooth traffic and ample parking spaces which were very important to us. Guest was also very happy with the food served. In terms of the room, the pillows were fluffy, the bed was comfy and the bathroom was clean and spacious. We would like to thank Marriott Putrajaya for taking good care of us and recommend this wedding venue to other love birds too. This was just perfect for us.

Our wedding dinner reception was hosted at the Putrajaya Marriott Hotel, which is located not too far from the city. We decided against a hotel in the Kuala Lumpur city centre as: The congestion! Parking may be a problem! Thankfully, Putrajaya Marriott gave us the luxury of being able to enjoy a delightful venue minus the KL prices and traffic jam. there are the standard decorative items provided by the hotel: Ice carvings, Our beautiful backdrop had cranes – our wedding theme. All done by the hotel’s vendors- fairy lights, our names and two paper cranes, generic wedding cake, Nicely folded napkin. Marriott Putrajaya’s Tety was also wonderful, the minute she took over from the previous Events Manager everything ran smoothly without a glitch. We are very blessed to have chosen venue that provided us with excellent service and catered to *almost* all our whims.

It’s a very nice place for a wedding – the scenery and service is the main selling points. The servers are very conscientious about changing your plates after every course. Steamed Mandarin Fish “Unicorn” Style is totally de-boned and filleted. The fillets of fish is then wrapped around a long, tubular “fish ball” and presented on the carcass of the fish so it looks like rolled up fish flesh. It is very easy to eat, and the fish ball inside makes it taste artificially good with lots of MSG! Chilled ‘Ming’ Prawns with Mayo & Stir-fried Prawn Balls with Butter Cream is the best dish that we had the entire night! There’s huge prawns done two ways, and they’re all de-shelled and de-veined. One is cooked in a sweet and wet butter/mayo sauce and the other is deep fried in butter. It’s very creamy and I love the huge, juicy prawns. The Chilled Mixed Fruits with Avocado Cream is the highlight of the dish and it was what we had saved up space for. It has a wonderfully rich mouthfeel and a nutty flavor that’s very morish. Delectable!

The Royale Ballroom Subang by Grand Imperial Group is as its name suggests "Royale", grand design with up to date ballroom facilities (i.e ambient lightings, LED backdrop, private floor, etc). Strategic location adjacent to Sunway Pyramid, there is proper, covered parking for guests.

Feedback from wedding guests was that the food was very tasty - especially the iberico pork ribs. Professional banquet managers Danny Chin and Nicholas were really helpful, the communication was great.

It was good dealing with Danny chin the manager before the wedding, great communication & he was patient to answer our queries. On the day itself, the event went smoothly and we were also given free VSOP as part of our wedding dinner package (even though not explicitly stated when we signed up for it). Great service & food, we recommend it!

My fiance paid full on the package during a wedding fair in MidValley last year somewhere in June. Initially, I was worried as the salesman was quite pushy and he made my fiance pay in full without asking if we just want to pay deposit. He stressed that i can choose all bridal gowns including VIP section. However, the next day I went back to the fair and clarified, those "tailor-made" section is not included. He then assured me there is no such section in Taiwan and i can choose ALL bridal gowns in their bridal shop in Taiwan.
According to them, New York Vogue (taiwan) bought over De Paris and now renamed to New York Vogue, and they shifted their office from Loke Yew to SS2. One mistake I made was we never asked where is their office located in Taiwan and assume it will be in Taipei. However, only when I tried to plan my trip then I realised their bridal house in Taiwan is in PingTung, a small little town located 1 hour + drive away from Kaohsiung.
I would say my experience in Kaohsiung considered quite good. My flight last minute delayed and I could only reach at midnight instead of 8pm as I informed them (they provide return airport transfer from Kaohsiung airport). Despite such odd hour, they are willing to wait till midnight and pick us up from the airport, and send us to the Min Su (home stay) provided by them, which is near Ping Tung town.
Next day was my gown fitting/choosing day. They picked us up almost noon to their bridal shop. I would say they are quite patient already, as according to my fiance, I was quite picky especially when it comes to the white bridal gown. We were there for almost 6 hours, including waiting for them to alter the gowns on the spot and try it on again. They bought us bento set as "lunch" as we told them we didn't had lunch before we came, but we only get to eat while waiting for them to alter the gowns around late afternoon. The only set back is that the photographer that I chose was on leave on my gown fitting day and thus the make up artist was the one had a pre-discussion on the type of photos and venue that we prefer.

We signed up for the photo shoot package way back in January at a wedding expo in KL. There were very few Taiwanese companies at the expo and to be honest. In the end, we chose New York Vogue (NY 1999) based in Pingtung, Taiwan.  Before we signed, I quickly checked online for reviews but only managed to find one or two.  As the price was much less than what we had budgeted for, we decided to take it and hope for the best.
There were several email exchanges between me and the service rep to confirm the itinerary, photo shoot location and other general questions I had.  They usually respond in less than 3 days.
We arrived Taoyuan Airport on 9th May via Air Asia from KK and took a bus to Taichung. NY Vogue had suggested we stop over in Taichung for one night to visit Feng Chia night market before going to Kaohsiung the following day. We left Taichung via the High Speed Rail to Kaohsiung Zuoying and only had to wait for a few minutes before Peter picked us up at the agreed location.  We followed Peter to Kaohsiung city to pick up a couple from Macau who were going to take photos on the same day as us before going to Pingtung. Peter took us to Xing Guang Da Dao to drop our bags before taking us to NY Vogue.  Upon reaching the company, we were assisted by Ming Yuan.
Choosing the five gowns were a breeze as well.  They have an extensive selection of gowns.  I fell in love with the grey dress at the first sight.  Choosing the blue gown was easy as well.  The red gown was recommended by Ming Yuan.  I was delighted to know they had the long-sleeved lacy white gown.  I told Ming Yuan I'd love to wear a white dress with lace and sleeves and she was able to find that for me.  Slight alterations to the dresses were required so they would fit me nicely.  They took my measurements and altered the dresses on the spot!  I am not used to this level of efficiency and was very impressed :)
My hair and make-up took more than two hours but I must compliment Ni Ni for her mad skills!  I have never felt so comfortable in falsies.  Mr L does not usually like me in make-up but even he thought Ni Ni did a great job and according to him, he has never seen me look this good in make-up.
After meeting photographer 林sir briefly, we started taking photos within NY Vogue's premises. Before long, we were on our way to Chiayi (slightly less than 2 hours' drive away).  After a quick lunch break (beef noodles yum!), we got to work right away. The entire session felt really smooth and was not as tiring as I had imagined.  林sir made us feel very comfortable and gave us very clear instructions.  The lighting assistant 阿清 (A- Qing) was very helpful and attentive throughout. 
We were so relieved to see how the photos had turned out- they were so much better than we had expected and ended up buying 20 additional photos.

Levitation Wedding Photography

$
0
0
Conceptual photography is unique and fun. Imagine yourself defying gravity and floating freely in the air. To create levitation photos for weddings, have the couple stand or lie down on a support object such as a stool,
  • Use a software (such as Snapheal) to erase the stool and you will create the impression that your model is floating in the air. 
  • The second method is to take two photos which are framed identically; one with the model and the second one without it. Post processing can be done in Adobe Photoshop with layer masks. [Instructions here]
To create a more dramatic scene, capture the image in an open field with debris flying around, like the bride is going to be pulled by a storm, and the partner tries to rescue her.

Macalister Mansion Penang

$

0
The name Macalister Mansion honours Colonel Norman Macalister, one of the first British Governors of Penang (then known as Prince of Wales Island) from 1808 – 1810. Colonel Norman Macalister also gave his name to Macalister Road, where the boutique hotel is situated. Within Macalister Mansion, there are different spaces which are branded as distinct rooms found in an actual mansion – Dining Room, The Den, Living Room, The Cellar, The Lawn and Eight Rooms.

The Lawn offers the perfect space to have an outdoor wedding by the pool. The dining room looks perfect in white with quirky interiors and great lighting. This classy venue is most suitable for holding a small, elegant and dreamy reception. The person in-charge of wedding event planning is polite and friendly. However the bad follow up and lack of transparency may send some potential customers away. 

Macalister Mansion is designed around the idea of an old English mansion where guests can enjoy that traditional warm ‘home’ hospitality but with all the conveniences of modern technology. You can book their eight tastefully designed rooms for guests who require overnight stay. Encompassing all day dining and casual space to hang out, Living Room offers a delectable selection of local cuisine and international flavours.

The dining room looks perfect in white with quirky interiors, dreamy and classy! The person I had been dealing with via emails and whatsapp messages "X" was all smiles and polite. I wrote to X telling her we decided to go with the 'chicken menu', priced at 120++ per pax for 60 pax and will book all 8 uniquely decorated rooms of Macalister Mansion. Emails were exchanged for the menu selection, still a lil on the pricey side but within our budget. At that time, we knew we had to have our wedding done in this place.

Then, it pretty much went downhill. This whole recount of event was based solely on our experiences with Macalister Mansion. It was really a beautiful place with great lighting for a small wedding reception, but too bad it didn't work out for us because of the bad follow up and lack of transparency. We found out so many additional costs much later (PA systems, using the courtyard, breakfast for room guests etc etc) and were IGNORED - seriously the worst thing one business should do to their customers.

Alex and Mun Wai wedding reception has been held at the Macalister Mansion. This place has give me a Woo factor somehow specially in their decoration (simple and yet elegant feel). Feel like I am Alice in the Wonderland. But seriously, I love the mood there. (And the room is very cozy in deed). :")
Anyway, A small dinner with some really great food. Where all the attendees could just get close together to talk and chat. the dinner ended with a short portrait session around the mansion compound with Mun Wai and Alex.

With huge extensive crystal chandeliers, modern zebra print carpet and setting, and a capacity of 1300 pax for banqueting the Pullman Bangsar Grand Ballroom is an excellent venue for a big grand wedding reception. Pullman KL Bangsar is a lovely and modern hotel that provides good service. The hotel however it is not centrally located but is great for those who want to be out from the hustle and bustle of the city. No problem getting taxis from the hotel.

The Pullman brand does not disappoint, this is true for both the Pullman KL City and KL Bangsar, in terms of meeting their clients wedding preparation needs. Ms Samme Pan, the Event Manager and her banquet team are excellent in helping the couple and family plan and coordinate the hotel logistics for the wedding. Great food served during wedding reception. Courteous hotel staff.

I had our son's wedding dinner reception at Pullman Bangsar on 8th July 2017. I must say that all your hotel staff were courteous and went out of their way to meet our needs. I would like to especially commend Ms Samme Pan, the Events Manager for her excellent service rendered to us in helping to plan and coordinate the hotel logistics for the wedding dinner reception. She went out of the way to meet our needs and expectations. Ms Samme and her Banquet team worked very hard to ensure that our dinner reception event was run smoothly. I also wish to compliment the Chinese chef and his team for the excellent food that was served during the dinner reception. Many of our guests commented that the food served was excellent. Keep up the good work, Pullman Bangsar.

Lovely hotel, very modern and service was excellent. We attended a wedding reception there which was fantastic and stayed 2 nights, so not centrally located to tourist attractions but excellent value for money for the deluxe room that was booked for us. Definitely recommend this hotel if you just want to be out of the hustle and bustle of the city centre, taxis were very reasonably priced and no problem in getting one from the hotel.

Oversea is a well established brand in Malaysia F&B scene for Chinese cuisine. The Subang Parade outlet particularly is famous for wedding banquets. They have the experience and basic amenities in organizing medium sized wedding receptions. This is a good option if you are looking for quality food at an attractive price and good parking access/ availability at the shopping mall. Their staffs are friendly and efficient. However some part-timers have not been trained very well. The design of the banquet hall is of long rectangular shape, the guests at the back may not be able to view what is happening in front at the stage clearly.

To be improved are the equipment such as the projector screens, and time management. Dishes served should be paced out at the right intervals to ensure comfortable dining of the guests.

I had my wedding reception at this restaurant. Everything was smooth and what i really appreciate was that the captain MC and the team were really attentive, helpful and supportive. I was worrying as the comments on this page were not so positive but everything was beyond expectation. Venue looks presentable and the food, according to my guests was nice. Basically, I gave 85/100 for my experience here. To be improved are the equipments such as the projector screens, but this was already known before confirming the place so it's a matter of choice! This would be a good option if u r looking for quality food at good price, with good parking access!

If you're looking for good Chinese food in Subang, Overseas Restaurant is a good choice. For those looking to host wedding dinners, they also have some reserved parking lots just outside their restaurant. Food is quite good and service is friendly and efficient. My two recent visits were for a wedding and a birthday celebration last year.

I had my wedding recently and felt disappointed with the service. My guest were all arrived before 8pm but dishes cannot be served earlier. The emcee could not speak at all. On top of that, me and husband were upset when our guests informed that they were chased away nearing the end so that the staff could be back earlier.

Service was extremely poor. They were under staffed and the part timers employed were inexperienced. Had my wedding dinner in january. Was promised that they would change the plates for guest at least 3-4 times during the course of the dinner but my guest told me the plates were not changed at all. Despite that our guest have all arrived before 8pm they were not ready to serve and our guests were left waiting and wondering where is the food. Then towards midway of the dinner they rush the dishes remaining out without waiting for the guest to finish. Very dissapointed!

With its distinctive Moorish-Malaysian architecture resembling mythical and magical lands, with ceiling art and statues of horses, Palace of the Golden Horse provides couples with a unique setting for their weddings. The Grand Salon Lounge with a sculpture of horses as centerpiece is stunning, very grand and a popular wedding venue. As it is not a ballroom/ function room with privacy, other patrons can walk freely in and out if not properly managed.

Staff is helpful, friendly manager Franco did a good job on the wedding event arrangement. The huge 1200 seater Royal Ballroom can be divided into 3 sections for smaller wedding up to 450 pax. The ballroom looks lovely after decorations. Tasty Indian wedding dishes. Exquisite landscaped gardens, set against an immense 150-acre lake, form the backdrop for the grandiose garden ceremony at this luxury hotel.

I've been told Paris is the most romantic city in the world. Then again I remember my ex-boss telling me he found nothing "romantic" about Paris... it is simply a bustling city full of people. A girl would wonder if love is flying all over the air of Paris? This city is obviously a popular location for pre-wedding photoshoot. I have not been to Paris but would love to experience it for myself one day its romance and visit beautiful places like these:

La Tour Eiffel (Eiffel Tower)
Inaugurated in 1889 for the Universal Exposition, the Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel in French) was the tallest structure in the world then until the completion of the Chrysler Building in 1930. The man behind the Eiffel Tower was engineer Gustave Eiffel. Constructed with a mass of wrought iron, the lattice tower rises 300 meters tall (984 feet), is now an iconic tourist destination in Paris. There is a viewing area up the tower for you to enjoy the spectacular views of Paris. The pre-wed crew can embrace the impressive structure at night in a different way with the lighted tower. It is located at Champ de Mars (a large public greenspace) 7e arrondissement, next to the Seine River.
Add: Champs-de-Mars, Paris 75007

Musée du Louvre (the Louvre Museum)
Originally a royal palace, the Louvre became a public museum in 1793 with an exhibition of 537 painting. There are about 35,000 objects on display now, spread out over three wings of the former palace. The museum has a diverse collection mostly of European paintings and sculptures. It also contains Roman, Egyptian, Greek and Oriental art, clocks, furniture, china and tapestries. Some of the most famous works of art in the museum are the Venus of Milo, the Nike of Samothrake, the Dying Slave by Michelangelo and the most popular of them all; Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa.

There are three entrances, the main entrance at the glass pyramid, second entrance from the Carrousel du Louvre underground shopping mall and another entrance at the Porte des Lions. The Louvre Pyramid was built by American architect I.M. Pei in 1989. The Louvre museum lies in the heart of Paris on the Right Bank, the place is known as the 1st arrondissement adjacent to the Tuileries Gardens. Use of cameras and video recorders is permitted inside but the use of flashes is forbidden. Take a look at how our talented photographers shot in innovative angles and perspectives.

Pont des Arts
Love Lock Bridge, Paris, France.
Tourists attach love locks with their names written on them to the railing of this pedestrian bridge, then throw the key into the Seine river, as a romantic gesture. Now this practice is discouraged as the bridge can no longer withstand the weight of the locks. Selfies and photoshoots are welcome!

Notre Dame Cathedral
Notre Dame de Paris (Our Lady of Paris in French), also known as Notre Dame Cathedral is an impressive medieval architecture marvel. This cathedral of the Catholic Archdiocese of Paris has a gothic exterior which is full of intricate details, two broad towers and many sweeping arches. The ornate interior is light and airy, with beautiful sculptures and stained glass. Construction started in 1163 and completed in 1330. You are able to capture a better view of the architecture in photos from the Square Jean XXIII Park behind the cathedral.

Other attractions and photography spots
The French Open Tennis Tournament is one of four tournaments called the "Grand Slams" and is played by the best tennis players in the world. It is held in the Roland Garros Stadium Paris. The matches are played on clay.

Sacre-Coeur Paris - The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris Catholic Church is a popular landmark which is located at the summit of the butte Montmartre, the highest point of Paris.

Arc de Triumph is one of the most famous monuments in Paris - to honour those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars.

Brasseries are restaurants that serve alcoholic beverages, as well as food. A boulevard full of brasseries and European style shops would create a different mood to your pre-wed images.

This restaurant is loved by all for its delicious food particularly the barbecue pork (char siew). The Oversea Imbi is a famous restaurant for treating guests from other countries/ states, located at a very busy spot at Jalan Imbi, KL, hence parking could be a problem. Here you can still see the self appointed "parking attendants" collecting money from car owners.

While it is a popular Oversea restaurant outlet, nothing much has been mentioned about its wedding services. There are some pillars in the banquet hall.
