I went to Carlton before. It is nice and the favors is just atas. But the package is not really attractive.Hi all,
Any reviews on Carlton/Novotel/Grand Copthorne Hotel? Currently looking at these hotels for my wedding banquet..
But i have less than 20 tables so alot of hotels are out..
hi all..
normally what u all will ask hotel to "throw in"? for eg free beer/wine? extra night stay?
hahaa i always like to BARGAIN but when comes to wedding package i dunno what to bargain..
or normally what u all will ask for extra perks?
How about discount for printing of invites, favours, hotel stay for next year's anniversary, etc? Extra rooms for your helpers or relatives if they want to stay the night or for friends/relatives coming from outside of sg?hi all..

omg!! mine is the same or almost the same as urs!! just that mine has got side diamonds for the settings. hahas.. its from jannpaul as well..
carlton lunch packages are good, it includes almost everything we need.. the dinner packages are those that has alot of things missing... but htb and I love the super big pte reception place we have along the ballroomI went to Carlton before. It is nice and the favors is just atas. But the package is not really attractive.
u all do know that crowne plaza is actually under holiday inn group right?
hi ladies, i've got a question to ask. hope someone is able to enlighten me.
in my AD package, I was quoted day and night makeup. However, I am having a luncheon so night makeup doesn't really apply. I just wanna ask if I get a touch up or a full removal of makeup before my banquet, isit also considered as a night makeup? thanks!
for wedding lunch, is there sufficient time to do a full removal of makeup and do a new set?
omg!! mine is the same or almost the same as urs!! just that mine has got side diamonds for the settings. hahas.. its from jannpaul as well..
i didnt ask them for a pic though..
Hi babe, it's not the Holiday Inn Group. Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza and Intercontinental Hotel all falls under the Intercontinental Hotel Group.
i have a qns, does audio system inclusive in the wedding banquet packages?
Hi @hidamari hotel packages includes all basic audio/projecting system.
Just a word of caution for BTBs looking at Parkroyal @ Pickering: Even at the preliminary stage of arranging for an appointment, their bad service is already showing. Coordinator kept asking me to go view the ballroom myself and their manager will not be free until 3 weeks later.
ohh congrats on the proposal
Thanks tulipkiss and kokomo_celcongratulation!
Hi everyone,
My wedding is march 2015
However , I still unclear whether to get a standard bridal package or ala carte .
Reason being, I would love to have all photographs returned instead of bargaining with the bridal shop. First, weak in bargaining & review said In-house photographer skill is so so ..
Getting ala carte mean the cost is much higher and I have source for my own gown .. AD and pre-wedding !!!
Can anyone advise? Anyone know which bridal shop provide everything except photographer at a reasonable price ?
Thank you
Heya, if you are doing all your tea ceremony etc in the hotel (i.e less travelling time), you should be able to redo a full make up.

thanks for your reply! do u have any experience with wedding luncheons? Any idea what is the schedule like? Eg tea ceremony before solemnization or vice versa?
the bridal studio mentioned that for the night makeup component, i can either use it for "before the lunch banquet" or "before 2nd march-in". any recommendations?
the BS also mentioned that a simple touch up and change of hairdo is also considered as a "night makeup". personally, i feel kinda short-changed cos i dont get a 2nd full makeup due to a wedding luncheon but yet i have to pay for the night makeup component =( sigh
Has anyone attended wedding dinner at park royal beach road recently? Any reviews on the food?
understand that usually hotels allows the wedding couple to use its venue for solemnisation for free/discounted rate when they sign a banquet package with them.
can the banquet and solemnisation dates be different? like 1 year apart?
Thanks sunshinepixels & lemons
My budget is about $3k - $3.5k (Max).
My worries for engaging BS:
•quality and quantity of photographs
•bargaining with the sales person
My worries for ala carte:
•budget
•new designs gown
•lack of times as I need to liaise with many vendors and research a lot- need to search own car decoration,men suit, dad's suit
For ala carte, I am looking at blessed bride and the gown warehouse
For BS, I am looking at rico a Mona ,the bridal room & le grand!
I really salute those who engaged ala carte!!! Is such a big project !!!
Hi babe, this is how it usually runs:-
Before 10am: Groom to pick bride up and head to hotel
10-10.15am: check in hotel
10:30-10.45am: Solemnization
11am: Tea Ceremony
Note that you need to factor in more time before 10am if you need to go back to groom's house. ROM & tea ceremony should be planned as close as possible to lunch timing as you don't want the guests to sit around getting bored.
You should be done by 11:30 and will have time for a full make up.
I will suggest you use it for second march in, because your make up will still be relatively nice and fresh for first march in considering it is still early. You can do simple touch up of lipstick or wiping of smudges yourself
Anyone attended wedding held at Novotel hotel before?
thanks mcpig for the schedule!
My solemenization is from 11am-12pm. Cocktail is at 12 - 1245 and lunch commences thereafter. I dont know if i should do my tea ceremony in the hotel (after solemnization or after lunch) or at my house. any advice? what's the norm?
im all for the 2nd march in too! but if i do my morning makeup at 5plus 6am and considering the hot weather in singapore, im thinking if i should put my 2nd makeup before lunch commences.
Hi babe
Solemnization is very fast, about 20-30 minutes. So you will still have time to do the tea ceremony after that.
Hello fellow Jan bride! Do u already have a budget and a few venues in mind?Just drop by here as i'm also a bride-to-be in Jan 2015!!! but everything is still in the planning stage... -__-
Wonder if anyone is going to rent / buy second hand wedding gown? For me, it's kind of waste if buy a new one. Any suggestion?
thanks all!!
I find it too little for crowne plaza to only offer 12 complimentary wine for lunch and we even have to pay 50% for food tasting.
Anybody managed to negotiate on this?
haven't booked. but some of my friends asked for more wines, free extra table, free air tickets to maldives with stay (same hotel group as their banquet), 2 food tastings instead of 1.. just to name a few
Fairmont actually threw in alot of perks that other hotels didn't. So it's okWow!! Can request for so many things? I went to Fairmont wedding show & just sign on the spot without asking for more Gosh am i so toot hahahah
Yea. As for perks wise i think i got extra night in suite, free flow beer, 1 night stay for the helpers room, Corkage waiver for wine & liq..Fairmont actually threw in alot of perks that other hotels didn't. So it's ok
