No I think OP was trying to feedback to the hotel in the hope that they will change their processes. But since it seems like they "brushed him off" and were not serious about fixing stuff for future couples, I think it's fair that he posted his views to give the rest a heads up.
Things must...
Hi! I booked with Marina Mandarin for March 2018
haha here are my inputs
1) how do you decide on your budget since we will recover an unknown amount from the angbaos?
I chose the cheapest option that can satisfy my in-laws. Given a choice I would have been happy with Ban Heng, Peony Jade...
My JP Mr Chia Ngiang Hong was on time and the solemnisation process was very smooth....
Granted he's not on the list of 'top solemnizers' but I was very happy with what he did for us
By right it should be around 3 months from the solemnisation but....it really depends on the JP. A JP i contacted 6 months before mine told me he was booked for my date already whereas others told me it's too early for them to commit...finally secured mine abt 4 months from the solemnisation
I'm having my rom lunch at golden peony Conrad, 15pax as well
Conrad was kind enough to let us have a private room with free rom table setup
Min spend 110 per adult
Perhaps the party who is in the military should check with his/her colleagues? there's an SOP somewhere
We will be doing the military march in thingy too and I'm leaving it to my fiance (who's in the military) to handle it
I signed with Marina Mandarin for 14xx nett for sat dinner.... i think their price list is out online
I know their ceiling is low but price was my main consideration - I just wanted to get the cheapest hotel venue that my HTB's parents are fine with =D
Banquet paid from joint account (all angpows will go to the joint account too)
I think he will end up having paid more overall because there are some costs borne by him solely eg angpow for my mum and engagement ring but I don't think the diff will be great
What other costs are there hmm ....ad...
I think it's fine....I will probably be getting mine at a jeweler whereas he will get his for the rom ceremony at couple lab or something since he can't wear a ring at work
