Glamorous wedding finances

There is nothing wrong with wanting your wedding to be an elegant and flashy event that sticks in the minds of your guests. But the gnawing question would be can you afford it all? If you decide to host your wedding at one of the Clarke Quay hotels in Singapore for instance, you'd have to be prepared to pay about 40% more than what it would be at a restaurant in Singapore. Some hotels charge about $1000 for a plate per person while restaurants may only charge about $550. Discuss with your partner, pool in together and evaluate if you can manage a hotel wedding or if you will have to resort to another option. Hotels aren't the only great venues out there!

The scrumptious food

Apart from sorting out your finances for the venue, the next important factor to take into consideration would be what you want to serve your guests. Food is one thing that guests and even the couple look forward to enjoying on this special day. Besides, the main gossip among the guests would be how well the food tastes and who went for seconds and who didn't. So, this has to hit the mark! The best option for this would be to dine at various potential venues around Singapore. Try to remember the eating experience at each of the venues and select carefully.

Ample parking

Keeping all guests in good spirits when they arrive to celebrate your special day is also an important factor. One point that could help this further is to select a venue with plenty of parking space so that guests will not have to waste time circling in their cars to find a good spot. Hotels in Singapore, the likes of Park Hotel Clarke Quay can offer as much parking space as you need, but the same can't be said for restaurants. Restaurants are relatively small in size and aren't equipped to handle parking for a large number of guests.

The romantic suite

Surely, you've seen a ton of hotels offering honeymoon suites that look completely luxurious and perfect to spend the night in after a hectic wedding with your partner. This is also one of the reasons why many prefer to host their weddings at a hotel. You have the option of a free suite which can be useful when it comes to changing for the bride. If you are feeling picky when it comes to your suite, one way of checking out what it's like would be to go through the hotel's website and find out the amenities available with their honeymoon package. Or you could simply ask a friend who might have visited the hotel before about what the services are like.

Glorious themed weddings

The major trend these days are to have themed weddings. First, think about how you imagine your wedding would be. Is it by the beach where the waves sing joyous songs and the breeze makes your hair dance to its tune? Or is it in the midst of rich greenery where the flowers shine like bright bulbs to greet you as you walk down the aisle? Whatever it may be, the hotel you select will have to be able to provide you with the backdrop you desire.
