on this note .... average price of a banquet is between 500,000VND to 1 million and thats about 56 to 108 SGD ....

dirt cheap and does not include drinks but then rice wine goes at about 30,000 VND or even cheap vietnam vodka @40,000 VND for the standard 750ml bottle and so thats the last of one's worries

Bro, those matchmaking agencies in Singapore charging $10K to $12K "all in" for a Vietnamese bride in Saigon, any idea what's their profit margin ?

not too sure ....

if not wrong ..@3000USD goes to the family, the balance goes towards the wedding dinner and on average at 400 people invited at a cost of 5 to 10 SGD per head .....

so what u think ...

wedding not so much lah....

by ur way of calculation,

Dowry = SGD$5,000
Wedding Dinner = SGD$1,000.
Misc (air tix, etc.) = SGD$1,000.

The agency still a healthy profit of SGD$3k - SGD$5k....

no bad leh... so lament, when are we setting up our agency in jc? kekeke....
