Reviews were sent in from Miss C. in Oct 2013. BTBs go online to research for their wedding preparation because there are people who're willing to share their experience and there's information you need, not a detailed report, but good enough to get things started. Kudos to Miss C for doing her part in enlightening us about her views on the vendors she hired. I hope there will be more people like that who don't just read-and-run.
Reception Venue: Crystal Crown Hotel, Klang

Review: Chose the cheaper option and food was awesome! Free food tasting. Presentation was good and portions were alright. Attendants were a bit too quick to take food off the table. The PIC Mr Azree was quite helpful and friendly. Pillars at the side of the ballroom, so its good, doesn't really block view. Reno done last year so hall looks nice. 2 projectors but gotta pay. Stage is ok for view from the whole hall. We took sound guys from outside so with 2 speakers at the front, it was good; the sound. Per pax was RM550, which is considered cheap these days, there are more expensive options as well. Free parking, they give a suite to the wedding couple.

Review: San diego photographer was ok. The outdoor guy was better. Make up was good and hair styling good too. Accessories lovely. Just was unhappy that the options they gave for rental was very limited. Service was good before and after payment. Pricing negotiable and you should request for more things to be thrown in.
