FINALLY went down to view DR with the bf over the long weekend.. once settled on that, can move on to ROM preparations!

Hi there!

Where did you view your DR at? Are you shopping for the wedding bands only or both the engagement ring and wedding bands? My ROM will be in December and we've yet to settle the rings...gosh. Yep, am still not offically engaged but BTO and hotel banquet already booked :rolleyes:

You can try Riverview Hotel, which is opposite Holiday Inn Atrium. I've been to the suite, which is quite pretty. The coordinator, J something, was very patient and nice. She told us we could change the menu outside what was printed.
Yes i also being to riverview hotel, they are nice & friendly. They help me change almost half the menu without additional cost and also have alot of theme for me to choose...=)

I have the package details for GPCH. Anyone wants can just drop me a PM! Too many asking about GPCH.. dunno who to quote. Hahahaha. Anyway, their hotel going thru reno from 1 April 2015 so they wont be accepting nor commiting to any weddings from then onwards..

On a side note, their prices seems to increase by alot for 2015.. got shock when I saw...

any reviews on Traders' hotel?

Does the menu play a important factor in consideration of the wedding venue? will you check on the review of the food?

actually for me food plays quite a impt factor, coz those relatives will always tend to make comments on the food - this dish nt nice, nt filling, etc.

Hello! Yes I'll be there hehe :) Wouldn't miss it for sure as this will be the first time we're gonna view the wedding theme setup of the ballroom, the bridal suite, sample the food and of course the lucky draw!!! LOL :D

hahaha! me too! kinda look fwd to it, i heard the bridal suite is quite nice. who is yr coordinator? hope to see u around & good luck to the grand draw *ts tsk* ;)

Ooooh that's nice to know. my coordinator is Francis :) Btw do you know if we can customize the menu items? To what extent can it be customized? I'm asking cuz my parents are quite concerned about the food and they've seen the menu (only 2 different menu to choose from) and are wondering if there are other options we can choose from...

Usually for most hotels you can make changes to the menu items without charge if those are of similar costs, eg: change of type of veg, Sharks Fin soup change to some eight treasure soup etc. However for changes like: change of Fish (Soon Hock to Garoupa), Chicken dish to Duck dish, these are going to be chargeable since their food cost will differ.

Omg babe wow you seem to know a lot about the BS in the market! These recommendations and information are very helpful indeed thank you very muchiee :) There are soo many BS around in the market and I'm spoilt for choice, overwhelmed and confused at the same time :confused:

Don't worry, go try more gowns so you have a better understanding of what looks good on you :)

Hey ladies, the htb and I just met up with our AD photographer today. Officially ended my painful research of looking at flash websites and overly edited/sepia photos lol. If you prefer naturally-lit photos, can consider contacting Daniel Ho, portfolio is on his website (http://www.danielhophotography.com.sg/index2.php#!/HOME).

There are add-ons like special printing and having 2 videographers at a flat price (not sure what else they do other than taking video of the march in). He has contacts for MUAs too. He'll let you know all these when you ask for a quote. Overall I find quite affordable coz we wanna save as much as we can and the htb didn't even want photography in the first place (the horror!). How it will turn out we'll just have to wait until next year to find out hahaha coz we're not doing pre-wedding photography so our AD is the "true test" lol.

Anyway, if you're doing ala carte can go check out his portfolio :)

Hello! New here. I am a Mar 15 BTB - will most probably be signing the banquet by this week! Currently searching for pre-wedding photographer (local/overseas) & AD photographer+videographer - I've emailed Daniel Ho to ask for the rates... Any other lobangs?

I have also been trying to search for a good pre-wedding videographer but it seems like moomedia seems to be the only one that has the kind of story concept I want! But it seems to be veryyyy expensive (asked them for quotes but yet to reply). Not very sure whether I missed out any other good ones out there. Any recommendations?

Pm-ed you!

I just remembered that I was also looking at Derek Tee's portfolio, but Daniel replied to me first with a quote so we confirmed with him.

His portfolio is here: http://derektee.com. Price for photography is on the same range as Daniel for what we need for 5 hours. Not sure how it is if you need full day though.

whee congrats! i like their service! the attempt to enlighten us more about the diamonds (thou all still look similarly bling to me lol :p)

should the DR be worn on middle finger or ring finger?

Ring finger. i haven't seen the actual ring yet, but they have sent us the 3D rendering. IT IS SO NICE!! i've gotten the square solasfera princess cut.

i like the wedding favour they have, the passport cover lol.

i like useful stuff, saw a swarovski pen lookalike and a travel perfume thing....

Do we need a pre-wedding videographer? I thought we only need a AD videographer? Are you referring to the wedding montage that is to be played during the banquet?

I like moomedia too! love their style.. but it's a whoooping 8.5k for AD photography +cinematography!! ahhh. They have a sister company called mooworks with friendlier rates.. I might be getting them too.. hehe

You can try bloc memoirs, twentyeight pics, lightedpixels photography. some of my faves :) hope that helps!

2. Additional night in suite for couple
3. Additional wine/beer/ waiver of corkage charges for all alcohol
4. Additional carpark coupons or invitation cards
5. Upgrade of dishes without extra charges

Hey babe, thats probably pretty inclusive, but what you can do is see what you need, for example if wine is a priority, you can try to ask if you can exchange the canapes to more free house wine etc.

Don't really know what other perks to ask for. the house wine is free flow...
