review: Hotel rendezvous wedding banquet (dinner)

* back dated entry*

went to hubby's friend wedding dinner at hotel rendezvous today... i was actually quite excited since we considered holding our wedding there but couldnt get hold of the banquet staff so had to forgo it....

Location: pretty convenient i guess since is located in dhoby ghaut, about 10-15 min walk from mrt (depending the exit)... but since there isnt no shelter along the way, getting there on a rainy day will be quite tough...

Ambience: i would say is average... the hotel doesnt look very grand from outside but the interior is still quite ok... the ballroom is situated on second floor but the reception area is pretty tight... will be quite a squeeze if you have too many guests mingling there....

ballroom

the ballroom itself looks quite nice but sadly there is a pillar in front so view will be slightly compromised.... for that size, i dont think you should have more than 20 tables.... the couple had 20-21 tables if i didnt remember wrongly and the space in between each table was quite tight......

Food: some of the dishes were not too bad

menu

i think the choice of food was pretty standard.... for those who love to eat shark's fin, i guess this is one of the hotel choice for you since not many hotels still serve shark fin nowadays...

Service: ok lo, you can tell most of them were students doing part time job so they are still green....

Price: $1257++ per table for sun dinner... i think for the quality, this price is too expensive

Conclusion: the overall experience was ok but if you are really paying so much for the dinner, i would say not worth it.... unless you gotten a much cheaper deal, i dont think this should be your hotel choice, at least not top choice for me....
