  If want hold a ROM session inside the ROM office, and I want to have a light lunch buffet for my guests afterwards, which restaurant would you suggest? Those who have gone through this before, do let me know of any suitable restaurant, and also the price...

   

  And what about the dress to wear to the function? Any nice place selling suitable dress/gown? And where to get a pair of nice wedding bands?

   

  Thanks in advance for advice..

  there's a package for this, you can find it at ROM itself.

  after the ceremony, your guests and you will head to a restaurant further down the road for makan

  i think its about $200-400. its not that expensive compared to a ROM at a restaurant / hotel.

  i can't find the package at the site. my colleague was there personally to sign up.

  actually, why not hold it outside (not at ROM itself)
  at a cafe/restaurant
  would be more interesting and convenient
  how many pax?
  budget?
  
  
  dress can try blum, bcbg, celia loe, trixilini, karen millen, annef & dorrell (vivocity)
  if u considering tailormaking, PM me for contact for "friend rate"
  
  
  wedding bands ah.... eerr... goldheart, sookee, aspial would be quite within ur budget....

  Yea, want to do it outside, just dunno which place is good and has a nice and suitable ambience...

  Guests ah..shouldn't be more than 30...

  Trying to have one which is around 1k to 1.5k...dun need to be an elaborate event, just a tea reception can le cos parents want us to get it done between 1 to 5pm (it's some traditional character matching thing, I dunno why also lolz)

  I am considering tailormaking for a halter neck cheong sam...but dunno how much it will cost...will send you a PM soon

  I did my ROM at changi beach (free!) and asked the caterers to set up a simple buffet there under one of the huts :P

   

  My brother had it at home we blew up balloons and streamers to create atmosphere :D

   

  Actually I think ROM shd be held anywhere BUT the office.

   

  A friend of mine did it at the pearl river restaurant. She booked 1 table for lunch, and they gave her a room for the table and she had her ROM there.

  I held it as a rather deserted part of Changi beach ;) at about 10 am in the morning.The place is special to my husband and I as we camp there pretty often.

   

  Err... went to Jennifer's I think. The food was okay but since it was at the beach, it was not easy to keep the food warm so it ended up a bit cold.

   

  Friends stayed overnight at the beach to 'book' the hut for me :D I also booked the BBQ pit that I wanted to hold the ROM at. They decorated the hut with balloons and streamers etc too...

   

  It was fun seeing 'Changi Beach' at my venue on my marriage cert.

   

  anyway u can hold it at ANY park in Singapore for free. except possibly the botanics gardens.
