My husband and I got to know Malena through a wedding fair @ Orchard hotel. We were really lost as we do not know where to start but we were glad that we met Catherine. She is friendly and she explained thoroughly on the wedding package. We were skeptical at first as it’s our first stop at a wedding fair and we would also like to check out other gowns/suit at other places before making a decision.
Eventually, we took up the package for our pre-wedding shoot and actual day on the day itself and there’s no regrets at all.
Everything went smoothly and we would like to express our gratitude to the people who have helped us a lot at Malena.
Vicky, our wedding coordinator did an amazing job in helping us to find our ideal gown/suit for our pre and AD, as they have a wide range of selection for us to choose from. Vicky is also extremely responsive whenever we have any questions to ask via WhatsApp. She also never fail to send us reminders on our appointments. Thank you Vicky once again for helping us to liaise with our make-up artist, photographer and videographer and many more.
Hai Yan, our make-up artist for pre-wedding shoot did an excellent job in styling our hair and doing make-up for us. We really love the hairstyles and make-ups that she have created for us.
Kzen, our photographer for pre-wedding shoot is so humorous and fun to be with. Initially, we were so worried as we do not know how to pose but with Kzen around, everything seems easier. Thank you Kzen for taking beautiful photos of us and we love it a lot!
Yuki, our make-up artist for AD did an excellent job in enhancing my single eyelid and she is very skilful and knows what she is doing. Thank you once again for dolling me up on my actual day and making me look beautiful and amazing.
Dennis, our photographer for AD is professional, responsible and humorous as well! Most of my relatives and friends were full of praises as the photos turned out to be very nice. Dennis is also well prepared and he even went the extra mile to borrow me his safety pins and bobby pins for my kua and veil.
KJ, our videographer for AD is professional and responsible. He texted me in advanced to remind me to send him my schedule. He also gave me suggestions and tell me what he will add to the video way ahead. We are impressed with the video and it’s beyond our expectations.
Veron, our album designer is equally funny and friendly. She explained thoroughly on the photo album design and frames. She even stayed with us throughout to select photos for our album as there’s too many for us to choose from. Thank you Harlen for always sending us reminders to check our album design and collecting our album and frames.
Malena has so many talented people working for them and we are extremely happy that we made the right choice in choosing them😊read more

We just completed our AD on 28/8/2022.
Vicky was our coordinator and she was so helpful for trying to fulfill our needs. Vicky, thank you very much and appreciate so much for the arrangement! ☺️☺️
A minor unhappiness thing here just only the car decorations arrangement. The staff (Summer) who had been assigned to do car decorations refused to do it and showed her bad attitude to us! This is zero tolerance in the service line! Probably you guys got internal conflict, but this is nothing to do with the customers. I will suggest your boss should look into this matter seriously.
As for the makeup artist Yuki and photographer Winson, they really did a good job! I love the hairstyles and makeup done by Yuki. And I personally want to thanks her for indirectly solving my skin issue ☺️☺️
Winson is definitely a nice guy and a super good photographer! Always make fun and guide for posting. You won't be stressed and just enjoy the photographing moment 😀😀
Yuki and Winson, thank you so much! Wish both of you 生意兴隆! Heng ah huat ah! 💰💰💰read more

Malena is a great bridal studio to go to. The costs are upfront and transparent so you know how much you will be spending.
We got a package with prewedding photoshoot, dress/suit rental, actual day photography, bridal car decorations, hand bouquet and corsages all inclusive at what we felt was a reasonable price.
The process leading up to and after the wedding was smooth and very well managed by Vicky, our friendly coordinator. Vicky has an eye for suitable dresses and went about her duties very diligently, reminding us of our appointments and following up on any concerns we had. Yuki, the makeup artist, did an excellent job too especially with eye makeup.
Kzen and Dennis were our photographers for prewedding and actual day respectively and they excelled in getting us to laugh and to capture really great candid shots.
All in all, a great experience! hope they all get big year end bonuses!!read more

A great experience with Malena Bridal!
Christie Sales person - very nice lady, who help us customize our wedding package and call me for reminder to submit my entry for the lucky draw games in Apr22.
Vicky Wedding coordinator - she is prompt in replying our queries and helped us to pre-booked all the necessary dates and what was needed to be done, that saves a lot of troubles and worries on my end during wedding prep. She is also very patient helping me to choose the suitable gown as i am kinda petite which limits the selection but manage to fit and adjust accordingly.
Hai Yan Make-up artist, she is very professional and fast in doing hair & make up, my hair looked voluminous on AD despite i have thin hair. She is also fast in response and able to answer all my queries
Dennis Q Photographer, he is very professional, willing to go the extra mile while guiding on how to pose and has a very pleasant personality. Very engaging in make my guests laugh. He also helped me with my veil when something seems amiss, immediately fixing it and advising us how to pose throughout our 8hr session.read more

💜Married on 04 June 2022💜
We signed our package with Malena during one of their road show.
Coordinator - Vicky
Our overall Malena coordinator is Vicky. A sincere, approachable and patience lady who never once psycho us to get any of the grown/suit we tried during the fitting. Instead, she gave us the freedom to choose and subsequently recommends the suitable outfit for us. Vicky is really very helpful and hardworking. Despite her busy schedules, she never once says no to our request. We really can't find anyone who could do better than her. Thank you Vicky for your professional and great service! 💜
Photo collection - Veron
Veron a cheerful and funny individual who guided us through the photo selection phase. Her step by step and humorous character makes photo selection simpler. Veron made us felt comfortable while selecting the photos and most importantly with no pressure in selecting the photos. She's really honest while introducing the package to us too! Thank you ☺️
Photographer - Kzen Kek
Kzen Kek a professional, hardworking and humorous individual. Her photographer skills were great. Kzen Kek is very attentive to the bride and will crack jokes to make sure the bridal smile naturally. We requested to have her as our AD photographer as well. And indeed, she came very early and took many nice photos during the AD. Although the AD photos were not out yet, we believe the photos will turned out wonderful just like PWS. Thank you Kzen Kek for taking nice photos of us. 😊
Makeup artist - Yuki Lim
Yuki a professional makeup artist who does great in natural makeup. Personally, I don’t put on makeup and not used to heavy makeup. Yuki would recommend the suitable makeup combinations based on the situation. For instance, she did a stronger makeup in AD to ensure a better contrast between (1) the much shiny grown wore on AD and (2) my hair and (3) contact lens. My husband also loved the makeup and hairdo done by her. Thank you, Yuki, for the hardwork.😊
Videographer -KJ and Vason
KJ and Vason was assigned to us as the Videographer. KJ has his own video style, and he knows what he wants to take from the beginning. Our highlight video was done nicely by KJ while Vason assisted on the other shots. We are amazed by what KJ has created in the highlight video using the proposal ring.
Thank you Malena for all the services and recommend the best people to serve us.💜read more

Engaged the Pre-wedding and Actual Day package from Malena Bridal. Vicky is very patient and provided the best service while we were choosing the gowns for both PWS and AD. Getting a suitable gowns is not easy but I'm very satisfied with every single gown and suit that we have decided on. Vicky didn't rush us while we cannot decide on the gown and let us take our time. She helped me to get the kind of AD hand bouquet that I wanted as well. Thank you Vicky. And also the MUA Ryan for dolling me and photographer Kzen for guiding us for our pretty Pre-wedding photos.read more

[Just had my wedding on 13.05.2022]
Signed a PWS Photography + AD Gown only package in mid Sept 2021
Not the cheapest package out there but having Vicky as our wedding coordinator made the package worth it. Vicky guided us along the way, recommending suitable time periods for our pre-wedding photography and gown fittings, and reminded us on important dates and timeline along the way. With Vicky as our wedding coordinator, we didn’t have to worry about anything and she helped us with all the arrangements. They also have a sister outlet at L’Atelier (Marina Square) which made gown selection very hard as there were too many nice gowns! My wife was not the most decisive person but Vicky was extremely patient and guided her throughout the process.
Photography: Kzen was our photographer. She was excellent in framing the shots and guiding the my wife and I to be comfortable in front of the camera. We went to a few locations and Kzen didn’t rush us despite the tight schedule. Very accommodating with any ideas/themes that we wanted as well.read more

JUST GOT MARRIED THIS JANUARY!
Got our package from Malena Bridal from a long time ago and that was the best decision made. It was so fuss free, thanks to our wedding coordinator Vicky.
She assisted us at planning everything from the preparation of our PWS to the actual day wedding. It was perfect, she was very understanding and patient when it comes to choosing the perfect gown for me. She also gave me the best advice.
Somehow, she also became our very friendly "alarm clock" to remind us of what is next, to ensure we have a smooth and timely planned out preparation for our big day.
Their MUA Yuki has amazing skills, she made me the beautiful princess on the most important day of my life.
We are very thankful, that our big day went really smoothly and it was a great experience with Malena Bridal. Thank you Vicky. 🥰read more

[Just completed my AD on 23 Apr 22.]
What an amazing experience in Malena Bridal!
Vicky did a superb job; the entire experience was great and fuss-free! We didn't have much to follow-up except for trusting her! She didn't disappoint us :)
Danny, who assisted in crafting my bespoke gown, did a fantastic job! We love how the details were brought alive as per our descriptions. The gown was simply stunning!
Gyna, who created our wedding montage, was accommodating to our request. We added additional photos and captions to the montage, and she was able to edit it for us within the timeline!
Ann, the MUA, was so professional and knowledgeable. Her expertise helped me to look extremely gorgeous on the AD!
Kzen, a very dedicated PG, who made sure that all the precious moments were captured. She was patient and suggested a variety of poses for our photos. Can't wait to receive the photos!
Bryan, the VG, gave us clear directions on what to do when we were having the outdoor shoot with the bridesmaids and groomsmen. The result was nicely presented via the morning highlights. It was a great one!read more

Engaged Malena for our Prewed shoot and our AD, way from 2 years ago when covid was not known yet. Love how unique their gowns are, especially those designer ones. Vicky, the coordinator, was very experienced and patience during our selection, not only she provided us with lots of valuable advices, she gave us ample time to try on and make our final decision. Timeline was very flexible, especially with covid, and everyone is just so accommodative to our last minute decision of our AD date which was known 4 months in advance! MUA Yuki was very experience and efficient, she had many hairdos and make up look to make me feel different in 3 outfit for the AD and the PW. Location of this bridal is very convenient for both who drive and don't! Overall, we are very pleased with Malena, thanks, J & E.read more

Though the package price was on a pricey side, the overall experience with Malena was smooth and pleasant! Malena has many talented people!
Our wedding coordinator, Vicky is really helpful and patient in helping us during coordinating process and gown/suit selection. She is also professional as she did our bridal car decorations all by herself! Our AD photographer Kzen is super friendly and amazing! She patiently guided my husband and I on how to pose and making sure we felt comfortable in front of the camera. My HMUA Yuki is so sweet and lovely. Her skills are awesome! She remembered my concerns from the makeup trial and applied on AD. She came up with a pretty hairdo to match my kua! I really had a great time chit chatting with Kzen and Yuki during AD :)
Many thanks to these talented people!!!read more

Declaration: We paid $0 as it was a lucky draw prize. Review done on our own will and not in exchange for goods or services with Malena.
We came to Malena even when the Bride already have a primary gown and we are taking advantage of our prize as it was non-transferable. Even then, Vicky still attended to us sincerely and whole-heartedly.
Dresses available to us are nice and we eventually picked one that is of a very different design from the primary gown just for a change in photoshoots.
Even when we paid nothing, Vicky still offered us the same level of service as paying customers. i.e. borrowing of veils, accessories, etc.
There are no hidden costs and all terms were communicated with us upfront and clearly. We appreciate this transparency and that there's no hard-sell.
The dress we picked was very much liked by our friends and guest during the actual day and it created a sensation among the young girls (3-5 year olds) thinking they saw a princess :D
Thank you Vicky for your great service and attention to us.read more

Overall PWS experience was great for us. Staff were very friendly and service provided by the staff were excellent. Price was slightly at a higher-end, however you get what you pay for. Pictures delivered by them were immaculate and perfect.
Vicky (Coordinator): Vicky was always on the ball and very quick in replying to any of our enquiries. She listens to our concerns and will try her best to see what she can do best for us. On the day of gown/suit selection, she will try her best to find the best fit gown and suit for the bride and groom, as they have a wide range of gown and suit selection for us to try. The planning of timeline for our PWS was perfect as everything went very smoothly on the day itself, we had ample time for different location and it was not in a rush. Thank you, Vicky, for your hard work, warmth and great service.
Yuki (MUA): Make up was nicely done for my fiancée. As my fiancée does not have any particular hairdo or makeup in mind, she left the decision all up to Yuki to decide for her. Yuki was able to do up 3 styles for her for the different locations and outfits which perfectly suit my fiancée. She was a great help to us on the day of our PWS, as we got her to follow us out on that day. Thank you, Yuki, for your perfect makeup for my fiancée and also the great assistance on that day while following us around under the hot sun.
Kzen (Photographer): Kzen was a great photographer. She was very fun, energetic and always kept us going despite the hot weather. As we are the type of people that do not know how to pose or act for a photoshoot, Kzen always knows how to direct us and always getting us in the right mood for different shoot. Her photography skills are top notch as the end product we received far exceeded our expectations and photography is the factor that led us to sign a package with Malena in the first place. Kzen makes everything worth it!!! Thank you Kzen.
Veron (Album Designer): Veron was very funny and patient when it comes to explaining to us the details on how a designing of photo album works. She helped us a lot in narrowing down the pictures to include it in our photo album as we had a hard time in deciding which are the ones we want to include. Thank you Veron.read more

Vicky was an excellent wedding coordinator. She is very friendly and helpful in choosing the gown and accessories. The guy who helped tie the bridal car's flower/ribbon was equally nice and professional too! Our photographer Lim was very funny, energetic and engages everyone throughout event (though the indoor pre-wedding shoot style was quite repetitive). As for the makeup artist, additional charges should be more upfront. Although the listed document's price indicated $30 per event for eye lashes, it turns out to be $60 as 2 sets of eyelashes were used (for top and bottom lash). Realised makeup style wasnt quite to my liking during the pre-wedding shoot, abit heavy and old looking. Hence for makeup trial, had shown photos of prefered makeup style, but still given same style for actual wedding day.read more

Veronica and Keon for assisting us in choosing the photos and designing the perfect album for us.

Would like to specially thanks Vicky for her amazing service. She is patient, friendly, helpful and sincere. She is also extremely prompt in attending to our queries and requests. She is always there for us. Love the warm, personalized service from her. We would also like to thank our MUA Yuki. Her make up skill was exceptional. She did the eyelashes strand by strand which looks really beautiful and natural. Our PWS and AD photographer was Kzen. She has great passion in photography. She would direct us in posing and style. The photos turn out beautiful and the vibe we wanted. To be very honest, Malena was not in my list, we just happened to pass by their higher end store (L’Atelier) in Marina Square and immediately signed the package without trying the gowns at Malena but it turns out perfect. I have absolutely no regrets in choosing Malena. Quality products (gowns, photo album, portraits) and services!read more
