I have attended over 10 weddings/ valimas at Margalla and although the location is excellent, the facilities are poor in comparison to Serena/ Mariott/ Pearl/ Holiday Inn/ Best Western. Margalla is also not known for its food.

There BBQ is dry, Tikkay become rubber after 5 minutes and seekh kebabs are also very dry and hard. Salads are pathetic. There salans are too watery.

Here is my rating venue wise

Serena
Marriott
PC
Holiday Inn
Best Western

Food wise

Mariott
PC
Holiday Inn
Serena
Blue Lagoon
Crown Plaza
Best Western

Mashallah good research on bbq

oh n btw at time of my engagement i got to know u cant have weddings at islamabad club

stylo, I agree, the food at Serena is not worth for the price, however it is still better compared to Margalla. Their salads are a lot better and so are their desserts. I have only had two dinners at Serena, both buffets and they were not great but not bad either. I enjoyed the ambience. I have never attended any wedding at Serena but I have thoroughly checked their wedding/ valima menus.

Aminas, I seldom go for shorbas or biryani. tikka boti and seekh kebabs are what I always eat with a pepsi.

You live in Islamabad, right? Tell me how many times people who dine out go to Margalla for food? People go to Marriott, Holiday Inn, PC and other places

Yes you cant have weddings at Islamabad club, but you can have the airforce golf club for some functions.

hainnn do they????khair her eik ki apni apni choice and requirements hoti hain tau we can just give them gud options...

Great! thanks for the tips everyone!
Upon your suggestions I made a couple of enquiries and, stylobabe you are absolutely right, ISB club stopped doing weddings a while back. ... uffff!! that would have been a nice choice...

Also with regards to price - Marriot I think was asking around $5000 (rs. 300,000) for one day event for 100 ppl, food and hall included. Holiday Inn and Best Western were about $3500. Serena, did not check coz I keep hearing from multiple sources (ashtray and stylobabe you are again totally right!) that the food is horrible.
Naval/Air force I am still checking and the thing about them is that you have to get catering from outside (heard Hanif Rajput is the best) and I think also set up a wedding tent and all.

Does this info sound about right? Comments?

Please help me finding a nice wedding and mehndi venue in rawalpindi.

thanks.

Hi Manaey,

I go through your website and the decors are very good. Could you give me an idea where your farm house is located and how much do you charge for it and do you guys rent it out separately or that would come with a whole package. I am looking forward to your answer.

hi Hunnyb, thank u for liking my work... well regarding the farm house location, it is within Islamabad and located where all the famr houses r... the rent for the farm house is 70,000 and we dont give it on rent separately.. the decor and other facilities would be given by us... looking forward to your answer and seeing you at the studio...

Hi Manae, could you please give me ur website address as well. i'm on the same boat INSHALLAH getting married in feb. i'td b nice to check out. also 70000 is only for farm house or everything inclusive..? please n thank you.

I believe 70,000 rs is just the rent decor and food are besides thts as thats how it is with farm houses

Hi Carpool, the website address is www.studiointeriors.com.pk/wedding.htm ... u can also come over to my outlet, i have given my adress as well as the phone number... moreover, the 70,000 is only for the farm house rent and all other services would be separately charged.... u can come over and i can show u our work as the website has limited pictures...

70'000 is too expensive

this is wat all the farm houses are charging... watever the market rate is, thats wat we are charging as well...
@stylobabe... yes u r rite this is how it is...
