Hi all, just want you brides to be out there to understand that the relationship between the coordinator and the bridal couple has to be one of partnership, not employer and employee. Only then will u get more satisfaction from your work with your coordinator. My wife and I had a very good...

hi ladies if I remembered during my AD, Regent sent up some nice sandwiches before the dinner itself. I guess they afraid of u all getting a stomachache from eating stale food. Anyway, after the dinner, where got energy and time to eat? Either too tired or too busy ;)

A word of advice, sometime using powerpoint to do montage may not be so good as the music may not sync with the slides. Good to learn some flash.

Hi ballerina I don't think you should worry about having the reception in the lobby because that in itself is the selling point! The beauty of it is that you get many sofas for your guests to wait rather than stand. It was perfect when we did it. Hi noxy Wonder wat your MIL will...

Hello Cheryl Definitely. Actually, if it's an intimate event, why the need for atmosphere? It's the company that counts.

Hi gerbera_gal Only acceptable?! It is more than outrageous. Why the need for a high ceiling when lower ceiling gives you a more cosy and intimate feel....not as if buying a house..:P Anyway, I think you can get by with 37 tables. (Don't forget the standby ones.) If it's 20+, better...

Actually you wouldn't want to hold a 20-table dinners in their royal ballroom because it will make your tables look sparse.

Sorry ah, have not been really following. Hi Coludz, the imitation ones cost about $3+ per box I think. To have it thrown I don't think you need a lot, maybe half a box per table along the aisle. Not surprised that they are strict. You wouldn't want to end up having to pay for the...

Hi Jamie I don't think you should worry about the transportation issue. If they are coming for the wedding, they will manage it. In fact, I remembered some of my guests actually came earlier for the dinner since they had allocated some "get lost" time. The result is a boon as it means that...

No real rose petals to be thrown since they can cause staining on the carpet. They do provide real rose petals round the candles if you choose the tranquility theme. You can use those imitation ones from Ikea and they look almost the real deal! Used that for mine...

Hi all I burnt a CD for mine. I think it's quite ok as long as you have a copy of the original. Flora, of course it is possible to have a rehearsal. Generally you do it in the hours before the dinner.

Oops, sorry, my previous messages was supposed to be addressed to trish...:P

Hi Chinoiserie Had my wedding in Regent in Nov 06 and never regretted it since. I find that one advantage of Regent is that they have an exclusive carpark (2 basements!) as opposed to Marina Mandarin which shares with Oriental hotel and other shopping centres. This is crucial espcially if...

Change dish? Can. But normally that may mean a lower-priced dish, can you bear to do that? Suggest you just stick to the original dishes and change the attributes of it, e.g. saltiness, sweetness etc. Lil-art? U have to be very careful with the draft especially the chinese names part...

Hi Aegean Ummm....me bridegroom can respond to you right?...:P Look out for the temperature of the food and whether if the food is too salty etc. We had ours and we were told to write down our comments on a feedback sheet. Interestingly, they responded to all of our remarks! Generally...

Hello JuneGroom Just perhaps one minor thing was that when I instructed the waiteress to serve champagne at my "brothers" and "sisters" table, she had asked around other tables instead of that particular table. Didn't mind as I had enough champagne anyway. Had to re-instruct the waiteress...

Hi Life I am very much interested in what happened in your wedding. I cannot deny that there were some minor things that shouldn't have occurred, but they were not detrimental to the success of the wedding dinner. My guests were full of compliments so I was quite surprised that yours...

Hi Ling I know your post is not addressed to me, but I thought i would like to add in my two cents worth. Generally, one should not seek a full recovery of banquet cost judging from the disparity of guests' contribution and table cost., unless 80% of your guests are generous millionaires...

There can be no doubt. Which hotel wedding coorinators would not?

Hi Mary You will not go wrong with $200/pax. LOL!!! Time to spoil the market! Really depends on the time and day of the dinner. I think generally at least $100/pax should be quite safe though those holding weekend dinners will cost almost $1100 per table, therefore works out to be about...
