PUTRAJAYA A GOOD SPOT FOR COUPLES TYING THE KNOT
By Normalazwa Jamaludin
PUTRAJAYA, April 3 (Bernama) -- Other than being the federal administrative
centre, Putrajaya is increasingly becoming a favourite spot for couples to tie
the nuptials with the picturesque surrounding as the backdrop for the big day.
Couples are not only smitten by the beauty of the buildings and the panorama
but also the tranquility that makes Putrajaya an ideal location to host
weddings.
The general manager of Putrajaya Tourism Action Council(MTPP) Junus Suhid
noted that the edifice of the Prime Minister's Office, Palace of Justice,
Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) and other government offices
serves as the perfect backdrop to imortalise the most memorable day for a couple
tying the knot.
"I have come across a number of couples from Singapore who came here to take
their bridal pictures", he said during a press conference in conjunction with
Putrajaya Wedding Fest 2009 here, recently.
PUTRAJAYA A WEDDING AND HONEYMOON LOCATION
According to Junus, there are numerous venues in Putrajaya like the
Putrajaya Corporation Complex, PICC, Agricultural Heritage Park and community
halls that can be used to host wedding receptions.
Couples can also consider hotels as their venue as well as a number of
hotels are located here.
"So far quite a number of weddings have taken place at
Putrajaya Corporation Complex. There were also weddings at Hotel Pullman and
Shangri-la, and in community halls.
"So the choice of locations are many," he said.
The Tasik Putrajaya Cruise, among the premier attraction in Putrajaya can
also be utilised in wedding and honeymoon packages.
PUTRAJAYA WEDDING FEST 2009
Junus said that the inaugural wedding festival is part of the efforts to
promote Putrajaya as the wedding and honeymoon destination not only among locals
but also among foreigners.
The two-day festival over last weekend highlighted the various aspects of
weddings like catering, invitation cards, cakes, bridal dias, bridal atire,
photography, and honeymoon packages.
He pointed out that a total of 50 local companies involved in wedding
supplies and services took part took part in the event.
An exhibition on Malaysian weddings and a seminar on food, family health and
wedding planning was also held. Renowned chef Chef Wan and a leading wedding
planner Pak Abu narrated on their roles.
RESPONSE BEYOND EXPECTATION
However, when Junid was met at the last day of the fest on Sunday he said
the turnout was beyond expectation with nearly 40,000 people attending the
event. Initially a turnout of 20,000 was expected.
Visitors from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and France also joined in the event.
"The feedback that we received from the participants is encouraging with
good orders for wedding cards, catering and so on. It was beyond their
expectation.
Thus the program is set to be an annual affair looking at the overwhelming
response.
