Review: Bridal shops along Tanjong pagar

today mark the official start for the search of my wedding stuff... Due to some family matter, i cant commence with the selection of auspicious dates by the feng shui master yet so my fiance and I start with the search on bridal shops for the photoshoot 1st... I did some preliminary search on the forum tt tanjong pagar area is supposed to have the most number of bridal shops around so we went down to just get a gauge abt the price of those packages...

1st shop: My dream wedding @ Tras street
This is an international company and I saw their photo on hk magazines b4 so i was really excited to go into the shop to c wat they offer. We didnt make any appt but luckily one of the staff was free to attend to us. The staff was quite nice, sounded very pro and confident abt her company products. For the pre-wedding shot + actual day rental of gowns, the package was $3988++. i THINK this price is quite the norm but then cheapo me actually found the price quite x.... coz naive me tot tt the whole package cost abt $2k but i was WRONG.... oh well... took a look at some of the gowns, normal... but i believed i can surely find smth tt i will like if i really take a serious look....

2nd shop: SOPHIA wedding @ tanjong pagar road
I also saw pple recommend this shop on forum coz they say is quite reasonable price, can manage to get it abt $3k, so we went to take a look... AND we r WRONG again... $4888Nett + 10% discount if we sign up by Oct 2013, where the hell is cheap lo.... BUT BUT BUT the gowns tt i saw r damn PRETTY!!! at least those few tt the gown specialists showed me r DAMN NICE!!! at tt moment, i really wan2 try on the dress & swing around in it but we didnt... coz there were other pple who made appt to try the gowns...

3rd shop: Digo bridal @ tanjong pagar road
after going to SOPHIA, we only have time for 1 more bridal shop b4 we need to break & go for friend's wedding, so we walked along the roads & couldnt decide which shop to go in... then we saw quite afew customers inside DIGO so we went in to take a look....the package is $3888Nett but we didnt have time to discuss for any discounts... we also didnt manage to c the actual gowns, only saw the photo in the ipad... i believed the gowns shld be nice too

M hotel
this is NOT a bridal shop but just that that day we had a friend wedding so just want to share the experience about the ballroom....
Location: ok.... abit far from the Tanjong pagar mrt but still a walkable distance
Ambience: the ballroom is at lvl 10, the banquet suite, ceiling relatively high and pillars only at the back of the ballroom so there was no block for the view... the ballroom is also quite big, can comfortably accommodate 30 tables
Food: i would say average but the shark fin tasted weird, very gluey but on the whole was still ok
Service: I think other than those high class hotel which have individual distribution of food, most of the banquets are DIY style... i think many of the waiters were those part-time student kind, so they might not be too efficient but i think still tolerable la
