The Planner

From one big thing to another. We were looking for a person who would be able to do most of the planning for us, and this was not easy. I am talking about five years ago. What more an Indian Planner. It took me a good two whole months to get contacts and calls to meet up with them.

It was all very disappointing as none had the kind of service we were looking for. There were planners of other races but they were not willing to undertake this event as it can be very elaborate. :)

Thanks to the ever famous Cine Fashion Magazine, which started its distribution somewhere around the time I was doing my research. It actually had advertised some very useful contacts of companies offering various wedding services. And there was one advertisement which caught my attention with their decoration pictures done for a previous wedding.

AWESOME! That was the word which was running in my mind. They are called Dreamworks and I was almost instantly attracted to their work...and guess what they don't only do deco or photography, they offer the whole wedding planning as a package. WOW!! ( Okay this was about five years ago)

Immediately called them up for an appoinment and Guna, the MD of this company, met up with us. His presentation was very impressive and he is very talented. He was what we were looking for, we told each other. And I am glad to say that finally, we have the planner for our wedding. This included photography, decorations,everything you name it.


Thank God For DreaMWORKS!!!

THE VENUE

We first got the total guests expected by both families, and concluded that there would be at least a thousand five hundred of them attending, a big number eh.....what can we expect when its the first wedding on both sides!

From here we narrowed down the halls with the right capacity and environment. And yes there are many halls which are big and non air conditioned, I would not know why. With the wonderfully hot weather in Malaysia and as the wedding was scheduled to be in the late morning, at around 10.30a.m. to about 12.00pm, it was only right for us to get a venue fully air conditioned.

As we decided to have the wedding in Klang town,(Anand is from here) there were only three halls available. After viewing the places and the charges we finally decided on the Teng Chin Hall which is located about ten minutes away from Anand's home. I was already having a picture of my wedding taking place there. The huge hall, the grand stage, air conditioned and the huge parking space was just superb! Even the changing rooms for the bride and groom was spacious and neat!

That was it! Initial payment was made and phew, that was done! Now comes the next agenda, the planner and of course the make up artist :) for me....
