Wedding Venue

When I was surveying for venues, I realized that there aren't that many shortcut lists (I found just 1) so here is the price list of the places I inquired.

These are all in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia by the way.

Initially, I wanted an old English themed reception (hence the list of hotels). After reviewing my budget, I'd have to walk down the aisle in pajamas with no make-up to be able to afford any of the 4/5 star hotels. So I had to go back to my initial vision of having a full-on traditional Malay wedding with silat, kompang, marhaban... the whole works. 

My lovely SIL suggested Saloma Theatre Resyaurant and I thought goddamnit Alia why didn't you think of that? All fingers crossed, I gave them a call this morning and was told that there is already a confirmed event on Dec 28 but they're available Dec 29! TERUS I BOOK! It feels right so we're putting down the deposit next week :D

Isn't she lovely?

Now... To find a beautiful, slightly over the top authentic songket that won't cost me a limb.
