Last 2 choices...

The last 2 places up for recce:

1. Flutes At The Fort


This restaurant is located at Coleman Street, near Registry Of Marriage.





The main entrance to the restaurant.


It kind of looked a little unkempt and cluttered with plants from the walkway below. First impression was not very good though.


The place where we took the picture from will be the solemnisation area. It's just a small, unsheltered area.




This was the alfresco place which attracted me pick this restaurant. Unfortunately, it will not be open to us on that day as there might be some customers who will linger around after lunch.

After walking out of that place, we readily struck it off our list.

Firstly, the person whom I contacted was unprofessional enough to go on leave on the day we went down. Though she gave a last-minute notice the day before but she did not get back on who will be attending to us the next day.

Secondly, the changing/ make-up room they are able to provide on the ROM day will be their office! How pathetic...

Thirdly, the area which they plan to cordon off for our event is too small.

Lastly, there is no decorations thrown in the package, flower centrepiece for each table.


2. British Club

This place is located at Bukit Timah, near the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.


The front porch of British Club.



Its entrance.

These are the only 2 pictures of the venue cos the night mode of my camera is not going to do any justice to them.

The place exuded a cosy English countryside atmosphere and it was so not our style! The only plus point about this place is its affordable package.

3 locations within the Club that are open for our consideration:

- Verandah Terrace
The environment is too open to old a private event.

- Ballroom
Too common! I would not have chosen this place if I wanted a ballroom.

- Rooftop
Oversee the lush greenery surrounding the Club but it is going to be scorching hot in the afternoon.

The package does not include deocrations; we will need to top up $500+ just for it and wedding favours will come at additional $2+ per guest. Besides, accessibility really poses a big problem as it is way into the Bukit Timah area.

We are currently working out the price for this. There is definitely a tough competition between British Club and OneRochester.
