Despite the head-scratching details of online searching, appointment making, I think my overall impression for this experience is fun and surprising. This should thank our tentage coordinator as well as food catering people. They are both helpful people and my wedding wouldn't be so perfect without them.
So I think I should start with our vendor searching journey with food caterer first. We have tried one randomly picked from an advertise we encountered for our ROM before, and that one proved to be a wrong choice. This time we went to the more reliable website-Singapore wedding forum, trying to find a well rating caterer, and we got two candidates which ranked top of the list. We have arranged appointments with both caterers as well. Finally we chose Orange Clove and they didn't let us down. Their buffet table decoration is just what I was looking for! Also their sales person Jaslyn is very friendly and contactable, we can feel her sincerity and effort in meeting us during lunch hours or off-work hours. Arranging an appointment is not so easy when you are trying to get things down in such a short time, and that's why I wish we could have had more time. Ps we didn't got a chance for food tasting since there is really no time! not their fault.
PS: Orange Clove only provide Halal food, so we have to order alchol and wine glasses from a sub company of Orange Clove.
The second important part of our wedding is tents, tables and chairs. There are many tentage companies online when you search, but most of their products seems to serve community events. What's more defeating, asking for tentage service in such a near date, most of them are already booked. Luckily, during our appointment with first caterer, they provided us with this tentage company-Nanyang Inc. As a result, this tentage company do specialize in outdoor wedding and they provide round tables, long tables, tiffany chairs, etc. Their types of tents are also very diverse and romantic. Despite a little unhapy issue at the beginning, I really enjoyed the overal planning and I'm very satisfied with the final set-up. My dream wedding wouldn't become true without Nanyang Inc. Their staff are very very helpful, thanks to Jia Hui, and the site staff.
Having settled the two most important vendors really released my stress a lot. For the other vendors, my thought was it would be better if we have more service, but my wedding can still carry on without other vendors. Then gradually we managed to get the following vendors to make our wedding more dreamy. I feel very glad that I have get this cinematography, Enya Mareine Vision Studio for my wedding. At first I felt it's too pricy, but after comparison with other studios, their videos won my heart. Turns out that my choice was so right! Their cinematographer are really professional and their products too. I have been watching my wedding trailer for many times and still love it. They got the high resolution cameras taking from three different views, they can edit the movies so well that they go with the music like it's telling a wedding story. Let me say no more, you can see their works from their website. Their actual day cinematography is really impressive.
Photography is a local studio that my husband found online, their photography is fine, there were some nice shots, but not as much as I expected. I think it is necessary to have at least two photographer for your wedding. The photographer we hired is from Visioworkz, you can check out their works from their website.
As for make up artist, I have been getting all these contacts from my friends, and I have contacted them one by one. The good thing is that I got reliable feedbacks from my friends' past experience. Price wise, local make up artists ask for similar prices, but we can bargain a bit with them, the nearer to the date, the lesser chance for them to find other business. My make up artist did make up for me and two mothers at an reasonable price.
My husband also contacted a live band from Love Notes to perform during our wedding dinner. They provide sound system and light music for our wedding on top of the singer and guitar player. With the live band, the air was full of sweet and romantic ambien throughout our wedding dinner. Our vocalist is Ywenna, we liked her voice.

Service staff from Orange Clove are arranging buffet table and porcelains for the table.
(Wedding favours, chairs, round tables and decorations are not from Orange Clove)

We rented 4 tents, dance floor, tables and tiffany chairs from Nanyang Inc.
(Nanyang Inc offered us spotlights, Steel skeleton for fairy lights around dance floor, etc for free!)
