It varies on which htel u are holding it at.
marriot's dinner banquet per table for weekdays is
700++ weekend is
800++for dinner u cant really tell how much u are going to spend cos u have to depend on how many tables u are going to have and also how much ang pows u collected for the nite and u minus off from the amount u spent on dinner. usually holding at 5 star hotels, u will make a loss cos singaporeans nowadays very stingy, 1 whole family of 4 come can give u $100 even if u hold it at a grand 6 star hotel like ritz. so it really not worth holding ur banquet at such expensive place unless u got lots of money to spend and dun mind making the loss.
next comes to ur wedding package, a normal wedding package which includes photo taking and rental of gowns and suit would probable cost u
2-3k. u have to scout around for a wedding studio which provides good service. Many well known bridal studio charge alot but their service is really sucky. many restrictions of gown selections, like u take up this package u canot choose this gown etc etc. find a studio that u feel most comfy with, example like u can get along super well with the ppl there. this way u will most likely get many perks especially during photo taking.
Bear this in mind, studio earn money mainly by asking u to get extra photos from ur photo taking session. unless u are super "gam" with the boss or in charge, u better prepare urself to pay alot more than what is stated for the package. 1 advice i can give is b4 u sign any package, request to take back the raw uneditted photos/negetives. not many studio will give u back but if u are lucky u might just find u. I can reco u the 1 at harbourfront, altho the staff there quite pushy when asking u to sign for package, but the service there is good and u can negotiate many tings with them.
there'll still be many hidden costs for a wedding, for example like the ang pows u have to prepare to give out to ur bros and sis for helping out on ur wedding. ang pows for ur younger siblings during tea ceremony. extra charges for engaging a photographer to take photos troughout ur wedding day. if u like u can have photographer + videographer.
the standard market rate for a photographer will cost u at about
500+-700+, more well known photographers will cost u
800-900+. video grapher charges will be at around
800+.
end of day, u have to really depend on ur negotiating abilities to cut down costs of ur wedding. [/b]
