So, some of you should know that we (me and Yeok) had been looking around for a place to host our wedding dinner. Our two shortlisted hotels are Furama Riverfront (Old Apollo) and Orchard Parade Hotel. On Sat, we visited both hotels again, to view the actual setup of the wedding. Here how it goes.
Furama Riverfront
Nice nice nice.... it has it own reception area, a swimming pool by its side and a forest on the other side. The wedding theme is super nice, with nice PINK table-top. The wedding favour is very special and cute (I will not disclose the wedding favours here as we might chose this place). Both of us like this place. However, the minus point is that this ballroom got 3 pillars. Therefore, about 6-8 tables view of the stage will be block. However, there are two big projector screens to compensate the blocking. Food wise, we are allow to have more choices here. Able to pick and choose from a fairly wide list.
Orchard Parade Hotel
Not too bad, but not as nice as Furama. A topical ballroom with 2 thin pillars. So, little blockage if any. Wedding favours, not much choice. It is either the boring chocolate or a more unique postage stamps with the couple's wedding picture. The resturant is under Tung Lok, so food should be not bad. However, the food menu is more at least fixed. Depending on which price you pay, you will have to follow their menu.
Overall
We know that Furama offers a better deal. Nice and special place. However, the pillars put us off. Sought the advice of my big brother and big sister in office, I may just go for Furama. Got to make a decision by tonight. Orchard Parade Hotel wanted an answer by tommorow. They said that someone else has asked about the same date as us and willing to put down a deposit.
So, who is willing to sit at the tables behind the pillars?? :p

Furama Riverfront is not bad. I dealt with the people there, they are very friendly and I enjoyed the food there. Heh...
