A&W Wedding: The Venue

I've been dreading all these updates for too long but today, I thought to myself, if I don't document this, my sotong memory will fail me one day and I'm going to bawl like a baby whenever I try to reminisce our entire wedding planning process until our wedding day so here I am, documenting!


Ever since Andrew and I got engaged, I became all Monica and started my planning for this wedding. We even took some time off to fly home to Brunei to decide on the skeleton of the wedding: the venue!


Getting both parents to meet up wasn't difficult… or scary. In fact, I felt glad that they finally get to meet and it's heart-warming to see both mothers reminisce about the times where Andrew and I were toddlers and all. You know… topics were mothers will never get bored of even after repeating for the 2934th time! 

Anyway, we've then decided on having a ROM in KL and a wedding reception in Brunei because, you know, Andrew and I have spent most of our lives in Brunei and we couldn't think of anywhere else better to celebrate this joyous occasion. So from there and then, my mom started moulding plans to our Brunei wedding reception, where as, Andrew and I, were fully hands on for our ROM in KL. 

Scouting for venues wasn't the biggest challenge throughout this entire wedding planning. Within a week, my mom managed to lock down Rizqun International Hotel which was my second option as The Empire Hotel was already booked during our good auspicious date.

As for our ROM venue, Andrew and I are quite an easy couple, I'd have to say. As long as the venue is decent and the prices complies to our expectations, we're ay-okay! We were juggling between three venues: Delicious in Duo Residency, Carcosa Seri Negara and Ben's in Publika. After comparing their prices and see what they can throw in for us, we decided on Carcosa Seri Negara cause Andrew fell in love with its venue and it's historical heritage mansion. 

Look at its pretty make up area! D: 
So it has been decided, the venue of both our reception. One down, a gazillion more decisions to go! :)

Next post will be about our pre-wedding photo shoot!
