I have covered 4 wedding venues worth sharing so I am left 3 to go.

Community Center Wedding
PA CC list

Pros:
AIRCON!
Big area to work with a stage just for your pelamin.
With good decorations, ceremony can look pretty grand.

Cons:
Depending on your nearest CC, it may cost up to $3500++
Caterer has no allocated space to cook so extra charges needed.
With budget decorations, the place may look bald.

Therefore:
I don't like additional costs to add this and that. If not planned properly, the end result might give me a heart attack. I've checked Eunos CC and it's about $2200. In my opinion, not really worth it because need to work extra hard to turn the place beautiful.

Gurame Garden Wedding
Gurame Resturant website

Pros:
BEAUTIFUL with cabanas, garden feel, next to the sea.
Inclusive of indoor and outdoor dining.
Gurame even throws in 3D2N chalet or 2D1N hotel stay.
Delicious food.
Transport available for guests.

Cons:
Everything beautiful comes with a price.
Unless solemnization to be held somewhere else, additional hours (and costs) needed for the venue.

Therefore:
It's obvious. The only thing that stops us from this one is $$$ because we LOVE this location. It's perfect in terms of venue, ambiance, the chalet stay so that our family can comfortably stay and food is good. Initially, I thought we can fit it in our budget but after punching in the costs, not really. Unless we get get real lucky money wise, this maybe just a dream away.... (ah kan.. dah emo)

After much researching, we are back to square one.

Void Deck Wedding
Town Councils website

Pros:
House is less than 1 minute away. Convenient if anyone forget something.
Within the budget range, it can fit in mid point.
As mentioned in part 1 intro, there is a homely kampung feeling

Cons:
Unless we book packaged wedding deals, we have many vendors to deal with.
Humidity may ruin the day but nothing fans can't fix.
No "class" to non-Malays but who the hell cares? lol

Therefore:
I have no qualms on this one because it's a place that has been celebrated in for decades. Budget wise, it is also controllable although more thorough research on each vendor is needed.

Final Conclusion

At the moment, it has been narrowed down to Gurame Restarant and void deck wedding. It boils down on money, I guess. Yes, yes.. No point of having a "big" wedding when it all ends up to debt etc. Thank you for your concern but we got it under control. I am so thrifty to a point it may misconstrue as stingy; even to myself. =P

Although locations may uplift the ceremony in their own ways, it's definitely not top priority. There are way more issues to focus on.

Update (2015):
Thanks to Syazwani for updating me with recent (2015) Gurame's packages so I can share with other BTB readers! I understand sometimes you just want to know prices without the commitment of discussing with the vendor.

Update (Feb 2016):
Thanks to Dya Reza for the 2016 packages!
