No foam!My company D&D is next yr.. looking at Oct 08 cos Sept is ramadan. Oh ya, one of the concerns we have is also a prayer room for the muslims to pray before dinner.Not possible to book before your fh comes back ? maybe send him photos ? Else to book in March 08 might still be feasible, since you no particular preference on dates right. Sometimes the hotel will even lower their rates if you look ur banquet within a month. But the only worry is the preparation such as food tasting, invites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And we are looking at Sat, there's not many dates/venues we can get cos many are booked already.We got 20+ muslim tables, so the space/size cannot be too small, and wouldnt be nice if it's just a curtain to block. Also there will be pre-dinner activities and games in the foyer, so a room with closed door is most preferred. I understand need water for cleansing also.

Else if they pray before they come to dinner, they will be late and miss the pre-dinner activities. The pre-dinner activities are like stalls which they can play games n stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
