home wedding canopy

our wedding will be something experimental since it's the first wedding for both families (in fact, we're first grandchild too!). and due to that, both us & parents, sometimes lost our way while doing this planning thing hehe ..

for penang reception, abah estimates the guests to be max of 2000 pax, including spouse & kids. our nikah & reception wil be held on same Saturday, and i need to help abah out what's the market like for wedding catering & canopies ... merely to benchmark price for penang packages.

i found some info on canopies on net, need your insight whether it's standard price or else. and based on your experience, how many canopies required for 1500-2000 pax lunch buffet? how further can i go for discount? pro & cons of each below, and any necessary items e.g. buffet table, main table etc. (add on/complimentary). if couple with catering, how much roughly the price p/pax?


Basic Pyramid Canopy Set (rm300)

- canopy 18' x 18'
- 2 lightings
- 1 fan
- 40 chairs, uncovered
- 4 big tables
- 1 layer scallop

Arabian Canopy with 2 Layers Scallop (rm500)

- canopy 20' x 20'
- 2 lightings

Arabian Canopy with Butterfly Scallop (rm550)

- canopy 20' x 20'

p/s : lightings above are not chandeliers.

yes the butterfly canopy is cool. so the canopy is for ur akad right since u wat reception dekat dewan i suppose"?

fizz said...

at only 50 ringgit diff, i'd say go for the butterfly one lah. kool somemore.

dialicious said...

I dunno the price in Penang but the last one seems in line with KL's price.2nd one yg rm500 tu a bit pricey.for 1000pax buffet u will need 10 canopies if ur using round tables.kalo 2000 tu 15canopies cukup kot

the butterfly cano[py steals my heart too!

sweet cravings said...

hmm, i've been thinking the same thing jugak tp, sbb u da post dlu entry ni... i only have to refer here.. heheh :P i have to agree with fizz, at 50 ringgit diff, baik je amik that one.. plus, if u nak amik banyak- it can be negotiated further kan?? heh, pepandai je..

but in my case, i can only try to fit the canopies dlm kawasan rumah... huk! :( tak sampai 10 pun but, we are expecting 2K and more people.. haihh.

Qistin Fadzin said...

yess... agreed.

additional $50 makes all the difference!

peeps, actually price atas ni kl punye...will use it as benchmark when discuss ngan penang caterer/canopy supplier nnt - so i really need ur opinion on pricing esp hehe

hidden.wing said...

nahwal : my akad+reception di rumah ;)

fizz + quiyah + qis :
butterfly scallop cantik when it purely comes in white & must complete with underlayer (+ cost of rm50-rm100 each). underlayer ni for canopy pengantin dah la kan hehe!

mira : yup, still negotiable :D

diah : 15? banyaknye *sob*....
