I tell you..I am fated to have issues with my wedding venues.
First,issues in Malaysia.I have given up and decided that I will be doing Golden Sands in Penang even though it was not our first choice.
Now, Leeds.We have narrowed our choices down to three..
Malmaison,
Radission SAS and
Marriott.
Thoughts on the venues
RadissionVery nice art deco lounge.About 3 minutes walk away from the registrars office,which means that I can run there in my thigh-high slit and stockingless feet.However,they want to charge us £300 for a three hour use of their small room which will fit 15 pax.Now,isn't that like the most cutthroat thing that you have ever heard? Bloody hell..
Nice fireplace
Food is also really expensive here, so we think this is ruled out.
MariottThey have a choice of two restaurants, the Georgetown or the John T. Georgetown is,not suprisingly, a Malaysian restaurant. And Bridezilla being a Penang kia is just a coincidence. HOWEVER TEMPTING, bridezilla will
NOT pay £3.50 for a curry puff or £12 for a Hainanese Chicken Rice.CRAZY AH!!!!!!!???Bridezilla nearly fainted at the prices.
Groomzilla was quite impressed that there is such a nice Malaysian restaurant in Leeds..They call it 'colonial' charm..which means Groomzilla is king and I,Bridezilla is the conquered slave(ette).Just because he wears the pants does not mean I don't own pants ok
John T is a little better...a £25 3 course menu in a private bright room with a sunroof,which means pictures will come out really nicely.
The Zillas have a close connection with the Marriott chain of hotel. When they met,Groomzilla was living in Marriot permanently,therefore alot of 'things' happened there..;).Seeing that Groomzilla would be able to get a free upgrade to an executive floor room if we stayed overnight,this option is still open.
MalmaisonNow, Bridezilla really loved this funky bohemian-vintage hotel.Done in dark velvety purple,this hotel is epitome of modernity with a funky vintage twist.The small side room (available at an additional £25) is perfect..
Nice
hor!!!
They have a fixed price menu at £14..3 course inclusive of a glass of wine.Either that or you can pre-order from their menu.
Choices choices....what shall I do?!?
