Our
reception venue, being relatively new, boasts of good quality in-house sound
system and basic mood lights. Not to mention the classy chandeliers lined up in
the ceiling. Given that Adrin and I decided not to get a band or strings, we’re
sticking with the in house sound system of the venue.
For
lights, it’s a different story though. You see after stalking the venue’s
Facebook page for over a year now, I noticed that in house mood lights are not enough.
Pictures of past weddings they handled exhibit a seemingly gloomy ambience; far
from the tastefully lighted weddings of w@wies that I see. This triggered our
desire to amp up the lighting for our own event.
Talking
this out with Grandview, our AE mentioned that they have an accredited Lights
and Sounds Supplier from whom we can get the additional lights that we want.
Getting another supplier aside from them will warrant us a corkage fee. Not one
to be easily swayed, we thought of comparing first the rates of the in house
supplier against other suppliers. I just have a gut feel that the accredited
supplier charges more than what it should actually cost.
Armed
with the lights specs that we’re eyeing, we canvassed in one of the bridal fairs
last January. Some suppliers charge way beyond what we’re looking for, but
there are few who actually falls into our set budget for an outside supplier.
Then just this month at SMX, we finally booked our Lights supplier.
We
got LST Mobile for a very good price that our total lights cost including the
corkage fee is still lower than the quoted rate of the accredited supplier. It’s
also good that they are affiliated with our roving photographer supplier,
Studio on Wheels. But the bigger plus is the fact that they've already serviced an event in our wedding venue so only minor adjustments needed on their part on our wedding day. Sounds like a good deal right? :)
