queenie> really??? wah.. seems like we have to race against time hor... all popular ones are taken so fast! thanks for telling
All,
Spoke to the person in charge and she explained that their corporate team booked the venue before she could place a tentative reservation for us.
When she emailed me telling me that the venue is sitll available, i replied almost immediately asking her to place a reservation for me. I didn't receive any calls etc yesterday so i thought everything should be fine. I got the bad news today when i tried to make the next appt =(
Welcome Twink & Jaslyn!
Bear> We are considering whether to change dates or venues. 18th is a hot date so alot of venues already booked.
Coco> Thanks. Looks like nothing much can be done now since the company already placed a confirmed booking before the coordinator could place my reservations.
Try calling JP Chan again loh - maybe in the evenings. Good luck!
Suelynn/Queenie> They checked and said is available so i place my reservations. For whatever reasons it didn't go through loh so i guess they couldn't have hold the booking fo me =(
The in charge said she will try and talk to the corporate side and see if they start the event later. I think the chances are slim loh since they booked the place from 8 am onwards.

he is very friendly..

cherz> Thanks for the suggestion. I m looking for a long gown as I don't have pretty legs so I need a long gown to hide my legs.
Empire package provides only short dress. so I am trying to look for other options..
The quotation that I got from Conrad for my ROM is $45+++/$50+++ per pax for Hi-Tea for min of 40pax. My HB and I think its quite reasonable compared to the all the other 5* hotel which has a min capacity of at least 70-80 pax at min $50 per pax for a ROM...
And the function room is just next to the pool.
Anyone ideas where to get nice ring pillows?
I am hoping to find 1 where we can personalised and put our names and the date on it.

queenie,
i went caratell today.find dat they hav limited wedding bands in their showcase n its very hard 2 customise if u dun hav a design in mind.me n FH both prefer fairy inc's service.
actually i tot of comparing prices btw the 2 shops.but i can only draw the design of the wedding band i wanted n caratell's designer dun quite get it.so might b a risk doin it there coz i dun get to see the end pdt 1st.at least in fairy, i get to see more samples of wedding bands n then fr there i modified to my likings.so mayb in the end will stick to fairy inc.
twink,
the charges at conrad is very reasonable.
i got my gown fr irene's creation sale.so its not 1st hand but i am fine wif it.
wxyang,
i dun tink i am getting a ring pillow too unless my ring box cannot make it.

wxyang> y nt u try restuarant? wat hotels did u went to? Cos unless u look at small function rooms, else u kinda hard to have much bargaining power. Last weekend we went n kapo at the wedding fair, are looking at abt 35-40 tables, the hotels are very willing to negotiate. Whats ur budget? Personal exp with furama riverfront, orchid country club and Amara is good so far. Will be looking for more venues end of the yr. Aiming for grand Corpthorne n Merchant Court

suelynn, i looked at fullerton and ritz carlton. my budget is probably ard 20Kplus hopefully we can be able to hit near 30K (hoping parents will chip in hee hee hee) but even that we wont be needing 30tables. at the most 25 only. try rest ah.... hmmm any good recommendation?
Interrace, welcome! From my jobless support grp. hee!
wxyang> u look at those 5 star n 6 stars one lei, no wonder, they need so many tables.kekkeke $20k for hw many tables? Like budget per table? U can try goodwood park, their max is like 25. An advise by many friends, best to pick a place that u can max the number of tables in that venue. Restuarant wise, china club n grand shanghai is gd for the food n ambience!
For me we got alot of relatives n my parents' frens for my side. We havnt discuss the paying of the tables etc yet but definitely paying ourselves , setting aside $10k for banquet n the rest covering by angbaos. Thats our plan only, shall see hw when time comes......Sim tia so ex!
