    Hi Leslie, Casurina Suite is quite a nice place. Had my cocktail reception there.

    I think the total should work out to $1400. Have you tried negotiating a bulk cockage fee instead... something like a fixed sum for 36 bottles or something like that. If you read some of the historical posts in this thread, I believe someone has done that before. I was quite lucky... most of...

    Don't they give you complimentary bottle of wine per table? Not too bad, only need to top up... unless your guests are wine guzzlers

    Raffles Hotel

    Hi Seval, Yeah, life's great. Been more than a year plus, and I still have fond memories of the banquet in Raffles. Agree with you that Tung Lok just doesn't feel as exclusive as Royal China... maybe it's because they are found everywhere. Raffles hotel has this "quality" associated with...

    That might not be good news... Personally, I find that Royal China's food is great, and I got the same comments from my relatives & friends. The poor food quality issue happened before Royal China moved into RH.

    Hi FSM, There is only one ballroom in RH. The rest are smaller function rooms. Don't think there are differences in Fri, Sat & Sun prices per table.

    Shann, you can ask them to provide you with the Jubilee Lounge, which is closer to the ballroom than the suites. Your helpers can use that as a day room, and it comes with toilets within the lounge. It can also be locked, hence can put their belongings there. During the banquet, you will also...

    Yes, Raffles hotel is really hot. Maybe it's because they only have one ballroom. In order to get the day I wanted, which happened to be a very popular Sat, I confirmed my booking 1.5 years beforehand. Do book early to avoid disappointment.

    Hi Shann, Thanks for the compliments! We love the architectural style of RH and St Andrew's too, that's why we even took our pre-wedding photoshoot at the two locations. The flora provided by RH is included in the package. It's actually done by Woodsville Florist. As for St Andrew's...

    Raffles Hotel

    Initially planned for 26 tables. However, just days before the wedding, some people inform that they couldn't make it, so I was able to reduce to 25 tables. There were 10 guests per table. Your AD is so far away, your guest list will probably be a high level one to determine whether you need...

    Hi Shann, My wedding was in June, about half a year ago.

    Hi, Having 25 tables in Raffles Ballroom is quite comfortable, in fact you can even squeeze up to 26 tables. Actually you can just purchase the wine from RH as and when your guests need them. This way, you don't have to worry about having sufficient wine, and don't have to bother with...
