After visiting various hotels for our banquet venue, we finally picked the JW Marriot Hong Kong.

Since we wish a small cozy dinner gathering time with our friends and relatives, our total table size is around 20 only. We do wish that every guest would have a warm, happy, memorable night with us on our BIG DAY

So…. SAVE THE DATE : 9 NOV 2009

I didn’t take photos on the Ballroom, so here are just some official photos from the Hotel’s website.

With around 20 tables, so we only rented half of the ballroom size (which according to JW, the max can upto 25 tables) . The salesperson was very responsive, and helpful. In fact one of the reasons that we finally picked JW Marriott is because of the sales service.  Wish their good service would not be limited at the sales stage but also throughout the whole event!

I wish my bridesmaid would have a good memory on our big day and a small card to show my heartful thanks to all the dearest pretties!!!

Preparing a wedding really needs lots of $$$…especially in times of the huge financial crisis when everyone now is fearing of losing jobs and having pay cuts!!

We bought a pair of shoes for sonson to wear on the wedding date at Lane Crawford during its seasonal sales.. i guess it ‘s over 50% off with around HKD 1100 only..a good deal?!
