Reception Hall

The first and foremost, before starting anything, we must decide on the venue first. Once we've confirmed the venue and available date, then only other steps follow. And this is the crucial part. To set the date and venue of our choice.

He and I have gone surveying for a few places (and I mean, really few) around Shah Alam, thought of some places in Putrajaya, and tried to recall the wedding ceremonies we've attended to. None really caught my mind. At first, we went to search for Dewan Cattleya which is situated in Wisma Perbadanan Pembangunan Pertanian (PKPS). Typical Sunday, a wedding event was held at that time and we had the chance to sneak in to check on the decorations and layout of the hall. Not bad. Only that we were kinda blur upon entering the building as there was no sign informing where the hall is located. There were a couple of guys who were looking for it too at the time. Survey #1 done, we moved on to the next one.

After consulting Ainor the FlowerGuy who is the master of Shah Alam, we tried to check out SACC Convec. We almost skip this one after being told by Ainor about the package, but we decided to check it out anyways, and luckily we did. Coincidently also, a function was about to go on that night so the hall was fully decorated already for the event. Man, was the hall huge. Of course it's not like PWTC, but still, it's a huge convention centre. And because the building is new, it adds extra points to it. We went to discuss about the package with the PIC and they only offer full package. Full package means you just bring yourself ready with makeup & all, everything else is settled, including hall decorations, food, dais, PA system (basic), LCD projector & screen, red carpet, makeup room, prayer room (very nice, did I mention very new?), ... Owh, and we also met Hattan, the singer. :)

Later, we went back to his place, and surveyed a lake garden nearby. It was raining so we didn't walk about much. Just had RM2 keropok lekor in a cup and went back home.

Last week, he surprised me saying that his reception will be held in Dewan Merak Kayangan. I didn't expect my wedding will be held in that place in million years, and was happy for him because he was extremely excited about it. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), his parents decided to make it nearer to home. Which I totally agree. I don't think having our event in KL is appropriate since we're Selangor-ian. :P

But guess what, till now, none of us have actually decided the place, yet. I know I'm gonna know mine soon. But what I can say is, I'm pretty much confirm that our wedding will be held on the day we've picked. Let's hope it stays that way. Insya-Allah.
