I'm so sorry but my mum is kinda getting old and her eye sight ain't good, so she doesn't do for outsiders anymore.

Yup, thanks. Just done with the wedding.
My advice is if I could turn back time I would rather not do a wedding but just a simple one with close family members.
Too exhausting and overwhelmed by so many things that I totally broke down right before I march in, because I couldn't stand the stress and the crowd.

Honeymoon in 1.5mths

Glad that everything is over.

I am still recovering from the disorientation of the whole wedding like jetlag.

My Nails
I only wanted something simple and clean, which I personally dislike those with lots of stones, diamonds and decorations because I still had tons of preparation to do for the wedding. And my dress was made of lace, so... to save the trouble. I asked her to do a very simply design for me.

I am extremely pleased with her door-to-door service. She was early and responds to message quickly. The price is definitely more than reasonable.
Gel manicure with simple design + gel pedicure (one colour only) = RM160 (door-to-door)

My Makeup Artist
I compiled and compared many many make up artist and in the end I picked her and I am really glad that I've made the right choice.
I wanted something simple as well, which my requirement is that I should still look like myself during the wedding day.

Grace is very on-time on both the occasion in the morning and night. She is really friendly and a dog lover just like me I love how she did my makeup in the morning that was light and yet I still look good (even I didn't sleep for like 1 whole night). And the night's makeup was also great that it matches all my 3 outfit. Not to forget that she is really skillful in my hairdo as well. I did a trial makeup and she did ask my opinion all the time, like if I'm ok with changing my hair parting. Because I did relaxing and my hair was pretty flat, but she still manage to turn me into a beautiful bride. Let the picture tell the story instead of plain text.

Since I chosen to hire her, I shall just trust her and let her do whatever she thinks that looks best on me and she did.

FYI: Grace uses airbrush, that's why my face soooo smooth la

Photographer
Same goes with photographer that I've asked I guess about 10+ quotes before I decided on Jasstudio.
The main reason is because I like the way the photos was taken based on the portfolio. Different people might have different liking, but I prefer my photos to be 'not-so-formal', natural yet captured the best and candid moments throughout the event.

I'm really glad that I picked Jason too. He was really accommodating even many of my guests asked him to take photo with their smart phone and he was super patient and still joking with us after a whole long day of wedding. He's highly recommended and we were really happy with all the photos!
He is also very on time and friendly to everyone

We took a day to shoot the video with the school kids which is a flashback of us when we were young. With just a few hours, he came up with this video that he stitched everything together.

Hey there! Congratulations for your wedding. Dropped you a PM just in case you are seeking affordable and high quality sound system.

Hi Princessgalaria,

Congrats on your wedding! After lurking at this thread for so long, I can finally say my turn is coming soon

Do you mind to PM me the price of photographer? Also, did u hire any live band during your wedding dinner?

Nope, I didn't hire any live band because the programme of my wedding was pretty tight and I realise that many of the wedding that I went to, depends on situation.. many people don't really pay attention to live band unless you are having it in a hotel environment.

Price for photographer is RM3150 (without same day edit bcos my video side already have, 2 photographers)
But this was early 2015 price.

Wow

Thank you so much on the info. Will look into Taobao.
Agree with your input on photogrpahy. VEry important to find phtoographer who can catch the moments. Especially if bride and groom are not so much into posing.

Here is to drop in tips on wedding locations in KL for 100 pax (since we are talking abt saving money ie inviting less people
1. Most hotels do not accept 100 pax. Min they would take is 200 pax.
2. Duchess palace, Ampang- good place. ample parking.comes with food. Can bring in own wedding planner, band as well
3. Bankers Club- Located opposite times square
Cons: It's close to low yat. Traffic congestion, and entrance to parking lot is .It;s located on the 22nd floor, can you imagine how long is it going to be to get 100 guests come up the limited lifts.
4. Neo Tamarind- Was a bit difficult to find, although it was along Jalan Sultan Ismail and it is marked on waze, simply because there was no clear signage. Im not sure if they;; accept min 100 pax and what are their charges yet. When I went it was closed. Saw tadpoles swimming in the ceramic bowls at the entrance.
5. KL tower- Min 250 pax.
6.Seri Carcosa Negara- Was one of my dream places, went to check on the things today but it was 'closed'the signage says enter with permission. When we were abt to ask for permission-I'm not sure a guard or what (there are to guardhouses. One like a stall outside the gate, and another bigger one within the compound just inside the gate). That man from the stall had so many of his clothes, prayer mats hanging outside. He came out.started cursing, rudely asked us to reverse so upset, dragged the signage to the middle of the road, and went back to his stall. From that moment, I knew i didnt want my guests to see that kind of behaviour even before they enter Carcosa. Gone was the exclusivity. It turned me off. Immediately cancelled it off my list.
7. Pusat Komuniti Bukit Damansara- it's one of those town council owned halls- rental is about 5k. and from the reviews it is said to be one of the better council halls.Didnt get to check it out. It was closed.

Has anyone applied for the RM500 Selangor Wedding Incentive? Those who did took how long to receive the payment?

I would to ask, if i register at Thean Hou Temple which location is (KL), do i still entitle for the incentives? I born at Selangor.

How much to register at Thean Hou Temple?

Roughly how long does it take to get the $$?

Yes. You can still get the RM 500 incentive: https://i-kahwin.selangor.gov.my/permohonan.php. Apply online, print it out. Attach with proof of residence -> things like Sijil Berhenti Sekolah (primary + secondary). If don't have anymore, can call up and ask what other proof can be provided. You can find the number in the URL I provided earlier. I sent mine to Bangunan Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah directly, but I think they changed address already starting Jan 2017:

YAYASAN WARISAN ANAK SELANGOR (YAWAS)
Aras 5, Kompleks Belia Dan Kebudayaan Negeri Selangor,
Lot 4, Jalan Platinum 7/52, Seksyen 7,
Persiaran Kayangan,
40000 Shah Alam Selangor
HOTLINE: +03 54818800
WAKTU OPERASI: 8.30 Pagi Hingga 5.30 Petang

I don't need anyone to sign the document. I just pass it as it is because they say it is okay. Anyway, you can call up and ask for further clarification.

Do it within 3 months of your ROM date. This is a must.

They told me need around 2 months to get the $$. I still haven't get mine, almost 2 months already, so I keep my fingers crossed. Anyway, you can check the status here: https://i-kahwin.selangor.gov.my/semakan_permohonan.php

Thean Hou Temple registration I think is around RM 80. And yes, even Thean Hou Temple registration should allow you to claim the incentive. I did mine in Thean Hou too. Now waiting for outcome.
