We finally did it! Fuhh... It was a very tiring day on the 10th july. The team started quite early in the morning by getting some CDs from the couple's residence. By the way Fifi, the cartoon show was very cute and romantic ;).
At first the weather didn't look as if it would hold up. A day before the wedding, while all the contractors were busy setting up their equipments, skies were dark and it was soooooo gloomy. It was difficult to set up tents, table, screen projectors, lightings, etc. Despite all of this, there was one person who stayed extremely positive..... the groom's father! He had a such strong faith that the weather will be favourable. He told to us not to worry too much about it, even though we realised that we've got less than 24 hours to get everything ready.
Well, on event day, the weather was absolutely sunny and made it perfect for everyone doing the setup. It was not too hot as it was cloudy most of the time. There was however, a scary moment when a strong gush wind just came. It blew off the table decor that was being set - up with floral centrepieces, nearly tore the big, wide projector screen, created havoc with some of the tree decorations and tore a huge banner hanging at front of the main gate! It was chaotic then. Just for a second, everyone panicked but thank you to all.... everyone was quick to act and we managed to salvage everything without any undue damage. All of a sudden, everything was set to go.... Then, guests started coming in. WOW! traffic jam was so massive! We estimated that there were around 3000-4000 guests.
The wedding was fantastic. Everyone was enjoying the food, and music by our famous local band Hinava, it really added more fun to the party atmosphere.
By the time the wedding ended around 11pm, all of us were relieved that everything ended on a happy note. Fifi & Suhaimi, and Suhaimi's parents were glad that the wedding went smoothly, and there smiles everywhere....not just theirs but everyone who were involved.
We couldn't pull this one off if it wasn't for the Hyatt team. Special thanks to Zaman for putting up with Sandra.... the floral decorations and table decorations looked great. To Hinava, for proving that they're still the best when it comes to entertaining the crowds. Also big THANK YOU to the other contractors; Donald and team for the marquees, fans and of course for accommodating our last minute requests, Wesley, our MC, PSE, SuperInd, etc. Last but not least, we would like to thank Datuk & Datin Lee Sulaiman, for allowing us to work on their lovely home for a truly unique wedding reception.
To Fifi and Suhaimi, it has been a great honour to be your wedding planners. So much we learnt and garnered from your wedding. We hope our paths will cross again in the near future. Until then, SELAMAT PENGANTIN BARU, SEMOGA BAHAGIA HINGGA KE ANAK CUCU (& CICIT).
Before we go, here are some pictures that we took during the setup on the wedding day. Enjoy ;).
