After deciding that we did, indeed, want a ballroom reception, that led to a KL-wide hunt for a suitable space. It turned out to be quite limited because we didn't want a large scale wedding attended by 1500 people oh noooo.. We were looking at more or less 300 of our nearest and dearest friends and immediate family so finding a ballroom that would accommodate to that and still tick all the boxes. Honestly I personally had no time to go touring around KL hotels because of work and other commitments, so after my momzilla's hard work and head hunting, it finally came down to:
1) Mandarin Oriental - Diamond Ballroom
2) Double Tree Hilton
3) Le Meridien KL
These ballrooms can accommodate about 300-450 pax each, which was wonderful, and narrowing it down to one final choice was a no brainer for me! KLCC is like a second home to me and it's like a minute away from our family home so DING DING DING we had a winner! Since this is not the main ballroom, of course it is smaller and less grand and somewhat low ceiling, so that led to a new Google search - low ceiling ballroom wedding! It's just amazing what you can find on the net, just a click away from the comfort of your own bed and Revenge playing in the background. There are a few pictures i nicked away for safekeeping:
I am having my wedding reception in a ballroom that has lower ceilings than I would have liked (9ft). Do you have any wedding design tips that will help transform the space without feeling small or claustrophobic?
Use mirrors or mirror runners on your tabletops. An inexpensive way to do this is to purchase back-of-door mirrors from IKEA. Remove the frames and lie them flat on the table to be used as a runner. You could also purchase mirrored tiles and alternate them on the table for a similar effect. Though it may seem counterintuitive, mixing taller arrangements in with low centerpieces is a great idea. The taller centerpieces will add some height to the room.
How on earth did people plan weddings before the world wide web?!
