I am going crazy. I’ve been in touch with two cake vendors for the past 2 weeks and I still do not know which one to choose. I know its gonna be a tiffany blue cake but should it be in butter or chocolate mud flavour? What decorations to add in ? How many tiers and should it be fondant ? So many choices. I am going crazy. See this blog for some very nice cake pics and this post for 11 tips on choosing a wedding cake. (weddingabc even wrote about us today)
This is a continuation of ProbloggerWedding Video Episode 2 - Wedding Venue, as Michelle has not finished talking about this topic.
Michelle Chan and Colbert Low, the Celebrity Blogger for ProbloggerWedding.com talks about how to get the best deals on the wedding dinner or lunch. Visiting hotels and restaurants can be daunting. Always ask for a price quote in NETT. Be sure there are no extra charges. Try to ask for free wine or corkage on the liquor. Special thanks to Andrew from Top Hat Restaurant for the good service and good deal on our wedding dinner
22 Oct 2007 – Finally made it to the Top Hat Restaurant in KL in time as it had been raining like cats and dogs since morning. Reached the place about 430pm and saw Andrew (Sales manager) in a dazed as he was very busy. Their place was filled with functions this week and he told me prices are going up since flour prices have shot up. Luckily, he gave us a very good deal on the menu, the beer barrel,etc and we had a bite on their delicious starter. It was exquisite to say the least and the chili tasted like heaven.
Just in case you wonder, this restaurant in KL has been voted one of KL’s best restaurants by Tatler
19 Oct 2007
Met up with Andrew (marketing guy) and Maria (the owner). Saw the place was a bit small. They had a cool jazz club upstairs and they charge RM20 for entrance (no drinks).
We proceeded to see the 6 menus that Andrew printed out and decided to look at just Menu 3 and 4. It had the right combination of east and west flavour. Some soup, desserts, fruit punch and the cool signature starter.
Decided on Menu 4 as it suited out budget. Then we chat on about how to place the tables, having canopies on the outside, how many people could fit in for a sit down dinner. The 3 rooms on the ground fits about 150 people. Man, I am definitely going to have to cut down my guest list.
I was beginning to feel the ambience of the restaurant that was pretty homely and I loved it. They had a small function in another room and I saw a lot of foreigners there. They left via a side door which is discrete. Talked about the charges for beer, wine, liquor, PA system. I was shown some pictures of past receptions. Looking at the themes, I loved some of them and it fit well with what we had in mind.. So took everything we heard and headed home. It was time to sit down to cut the guest list, look at the menu and think of a budget to fit my small pocket.
630pm – Passed by another restaurant in KL (behind Avenue K near KLCC) but did not like the outside part. There was hardly any parking space and the parking inside had a dangerous slope. I had to drive my car narrowly pass a Mitsubishi Storm and its pretty scary.
