Tons of activities and this is your one-stop wedding portal for the weekend at The Mall

Couples who are looking to tie the knot can now look at various wedding packages and items for their special day at the first ever Musical Garden Wedding Fair 2011, which was launched yesterday. Held at The Mall, the event saw a total of 27 companies, ranging from local to overseas, which will be participating in the fair this weekend.

On hand to launch the Musical Garden Wedding Fair 2011 was Datin Paduka Hjh Rokiah binti Hj Zakiah, the President of the Women’s Business Council. Also participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony was Mr Dickson Kho, Manager Assistant of PDCA Event Co.

Datin Paduka Hjh Rokiah binti Hj Zakiah, in her remarks stressed, “Roadshows, exhibitions and fairs, such as the Musical Garden Wedding Fair, help develop and instil the spirit of camaraderie and entrepreneurship among members of our community in Brunei, especially to the younger generation.”

“The existence of local businesses in the area of wedding services is indeed a testament to the progress of local entrepreneurs in the Brunei Darussalam. It is indeed a lucrative business if you have the passion for such business,” she added. She then urged local entrepreneurs, saying, “There is so much to learn from the international exhibitors. Please take this opportunity to network with them and develop a business relationship with the international exhibitors.”

White room studio is also exhibiting at the MGW Fair 2011

Grace of Potzz and Petalz, Denise of Deseo and Carol of Barely There came for the opening of the event

You can rent this structure and deco from Potzz and Petalz. This is quite costly but worth it because of its concept. This also requires at least 6-8 men to set up the chariot deco, hence the price is justifiable. I didn’t realise you can’t have a “Pelamin” outdoor so this concept can be done indoors and certain venues.
