Truly Harmony

Another event company which specialises in yacht wedding for consideration - Truly Harmony. This is the one I came across in the magazine that sparked my interest in yacht weddings!

We contacted them and was finally granted an appointment after several attempts as they were pretty caught up with events.

Their office is located in one of the shophouses at Emerald Hill. The place is like a one-stop venue for the necessary wedding preparations that range from wedding shoes, gowns, decor to invitation cards.

Esta, the wedding planner, talked us through the packages that they offer and showed us a few videos and photos of the yacht weddings they have planned.

I would say they are quite impressive! They have 2 yachts for customers' consideration - a 80-feet yacht and a 120-feet yacht.

The first one could accomodate up to max. 50 pax but it comes with a min. of 30 pax for the ROM. The latter could hold up to 100 pax! Our jaws nearly dropped when we heard the prices... They charged around $8,000 plus for the sailing package of the smaller yacht and a whooping $34,000 (this is simply crazy!!!) for the sailing package of the 120-feet yacht! That is equivalent to a wedding banquet at a 5-star hotel!

Pros:
1. No issues with weather. The yachts are big enough to shelter everyone from the sun or the rain. And if the weather threatens to rain, the captain would actually sail against the direction of the grey clouds.
2. We trust that everything will be in good hands since they are already seasoned in handling ROMs on yachts.
3. Their food look sumputous and presentable (of course right, for the amount they charge!)But Esta was right about one thing - she said we will get what we paid for.

Cons:
1. The prices for both packages are way out of budget
2. The dock for the smaller yacht is located at Changi which I think is rather inaccessible
3. Guests have to be really on-the-dot for the event cos even if one person is late, we can't set sail. The captain is not going to come back for late comers.
4. All guests will have to stay throughout the 4 or 5-hour sailing. Same thing here, the captain will not unanchor the yacht just to bring a few people back on the dock.
5. Decor costs are included in the package but it will only be at a certain area of the yacht cos it is too big to decorate the whole yacht. But if we really want, we will need to top up. Those wedding arch which the couple will walk through would already cost us $500!

Verdict: OUT! Period. Prices are too exorbitant and they are too rigid with all the can-dos and can't-dos!
