Gals...i just received the promotions from GCW. Personally feel that for those who have not signed any packages...maybe u would like to wait for the hotel bridal show...they throw in quite a lot of perks. eg: GCW, $18 off package price, with additional $10 off if u are OCBC pretige card holder, corkage for wine, champange waived, free flow of beer, etc...

happy.gif

Bugbear.. can send me the package regarding abt GWC??? hehee.. kpohkpoh a bit keke :P

sad.gif
35 tables also estimated. haven count yet.,...like ling, my fh oso like not very interested one hahaha but guess onli the brides get v excited.
 
yami, ling, dun worry.. me same boat as you guys.. FH like not interested like tat.. only when talk abt holding at kopitiam or void deck then he super excited
sad.gif
 
Yami...good for u lah...if u will also consider +++, then more choices...for me...i trying very hard to stick to 800 nett
sad.gif
so quite tough the way i see it...hotels are increasing their prices quite a bit for 2005.
 
Those who are interested in my Thailand packages may write to me after the 26th July 2004 as I am planning for one trip in mid-September. It is going to be a very comprehensive package. Do call me for an appointment after that date.
 
hahaha..... maybe i suggest to my fh hold at kopitiam see whether he got reaction or not.....haha..
happy.gif


hey blur how much was your rom photography package by hilarion? recomended by u got disc keke? :P
 
haha yami dun sabo me ah... u can talk to him la.. he very nice to keng one..

think if hotel keeps increasing price FH will really consider kopitiam liao hahaha
 
Blur, not too sure if the package is also valid for 2006 or not...i haven ask the coordinator...me likely to meet the coordinator tomorrow...i ask for u...then let know
happy.gif
 
Ching...u've got mail!

Blur...yah lor...that's why i am only viewing hotels and understanding their packages...will probably wait for their wedding fair then sign...more perks lor...or see if they have other promo
 
Hi Yami,
Raffles hotel like very $$$ leh....other options?? So when u will go looking for the geomancer??

Hi Bugbear,
Ya lor, Marriott stage nice but no chandeliers, Hyatt the ceiling quite low...Marina Mandrain quite nice but u said look a bit old and cheena right?? I also dunno what is the minimun requirement for Marina main ballroom...
My budget sama sama as u lor....Just that I am hoping for a weekday lor....But FH prefer weekend leh....dunno how also....I also want to be a 'rich' bride leh...kekekekeke....I also always mixed up the threads one...so u don worry okie?? And also thanks, I received liao...

Hi Cin,
4 Seasons food bad meh?? I tot there is a famous chinese restaurant there so food good one?? Ya lor Holiday Inn have pillars but I like the chandeliers leh....HI ballroom also quite nice lor...but no grand chandeliers....
 
wah hilarion, must k.s abit liao la.. u know my situation now..so stress..
crazy.gif
k ah, i see u after ur trip..give me a ring, when u back, let me know when i can see ur photos hor..
 
Ching...personally me feel that Marina Mandarin looks kind of old and dim lor...Hyatt has low ceiling...but overall, i feel that it gives the sort of grand, cosy feeling, which i did not get from Marriott or Merchant court lor...probably cos Hyatt uses black a lot and this gives off a more classy look. I actually targeting their blaack theme...but think i better get approval from parents and In-laws first man!!

I heard that 4S food is not so great afterall...a lot ppl tell me that if u take 4S, u are just paying for the name of the hotel...ballroom wise is ok...chandeliers and stuffs...

Holiday Inn food is good right?
 
ching, yah raffles hotel more on the ex side. from what i have seen so far their chandeliers are the nicest
happy.gif
but i have not seen a lot lah
wont be seeing a geomancer so soon. will prob fix the ROM date end of this yr, then early next yr fix AD. will prob ask my ah ma for reccomendation for geomancer, she v familiar

ok blur i will try contact hilarion or visit the website if there is one, since u highly reccomend.

my colleague jus told me she had prob cos geomancer picked all weekdays in the month she wanted to hold her wedding... and she wanted weekend. but her in laws insisted on picking from the date geomancer picked. so if ur in laws are v 'pan tang' then must consult geomancer earlier.
 
I thought we can actually tell the geomancer if we prefer weekdays or weekends right? That was what i was told when my FH called up a geomancer...maybe can get ur friend to re-ask the geomancer to find a weekend for her?
 
think hers not so flexible. if want that month then die die msut be weekday..... guess some geomancer not so flexible. that geomancer was 'employed' by my fren's mother in law. so she had no chocei but to comply...

but she had her wedding already
happy.gif
she warned me to check with geomancer early when i asked whom she approached to select her AD. jus 4 info
 
eerr...i got a geomancer contact from some other threads...FH gave him a call and he charge like $100 for a few dates...such as GDL, etc...at this point where the tong shu is not out yet...he will give u a generally good date for marriage based on ur characters...then when the book is out, he said to go back to him, then he will give us the exact timing...at no additional charges.
 
gals toking abt geomancer ah..
was wondering..
if i dun hav my chinese birthdates..
can the geomancer calculate for u when u give them ur birthdate????
 
Rachel...no prob...i also don know my chinese date...just give the geomancer ur eng date and he can translate for u before calculating...no worries about that
happy.gif
 
Hi Blur,

Are these sites accurate? i also used these sites as a guide...but think i will still go to geomancer to check
happy.gif
to pacify the ILs lor...
 
hi bugbear..
received ur quotes..
GCW's quote are quite reasonable..
bugbear have u spoken to the co-ordinator and make a trip down already????

blur i also use those in websites to check whether the date i've chosen is gd hehe
happy.gif
 
Hi gals,

I go to the geomancer to check on my wedding date, then I do another check on such websites. Found out that some dates the geomancer chose are the same auspicious dates found on the websites. But some dates are not. I suppose the dates that are not auspicious in the website are selected by the geomancer base on you and hubby birth dates and are only good for both of you.
 
i also think so..maybe geomancer is for more detailed one.. match birthdays, timing.. for me cannot find leh.. FH christian so i can only refer to website loh
happy.gif
my ROM also choose from there
 
yah...i also feel likewise...cos i used my cousin's wedding date...and the site say no good for weddings...but my cousin went to geomancer and used the tong shu...that's why i dunno to use the site or not...but best is to just pay a minimal sum and get geomancers to do it
happy.gif


Rachel...u mean before or after the promotion? Think if it's before the promotion, i think they price a bit high...tho it's a 5-star hotel and tho their prices when compared to other 5 star may be lower, but their location is very inconvenient...still, after promo, the price is still a little out of my 800 budget...but guess no hardm going there to see...if i really really love the ballroom so much...may consider increasing budget for banquet and reducing some from reno...hahah...

Me haven talked to the coordinator yet. Most probably doing it this weekend...anything u would like to know?
 
Hi Bugbear,
Ya lor, Marina Mandrain quite old but I like the chandliers leh....kekekeke...BTW, u know what is the minimun requirement for Marina main ballroom?? As for Holiday Inn, I dunno the food good or not...Anybody can advise on this?? Bugbear, seems like u like Hyatt very much hor... Y dun u go for Hyatt cos they have a lot of sizes of ballrooms to cater to ur needs right??

Wah...all looking for geomancer already ah...I am not looking for 1 yet....But I do also refer to the websites as a reference lor....
 
hi bugbear..
i mean after the promo of coz hehe
happy.gif

location inconvenient?? hmmm... but it's still near town...
bugbear.. nothing much.. juz wan to hear ur reviews of the ballrooms... coz saw from the quotations there are the grand ballroom, and the other small rooms.....
 
hi gals....

a lot of postings
happy.gif
i oso GWC location not so convenient...not near any MRTs mah

quite cute. a lot of other verses for birthdays etc....
 
Hey Yami...i also went to visit this site...it's quite good...provides loads of samples which we can take a look at...hehe...

Yah lor...i find the GCW is really very inconvenient...and their prices not really that cheap lor...with their normal package, without promo...think can get hotels like Conrad, or Hyatt already...
 
Rachel...me not yet also...just happen to read about this site in other threads...so go there see see look look...the site very interested...worth book marking it for future reference ;P
 
Hi gals,
Me oso planning my wedd in Nov 2006. Was keep wondering izzit really too early to start the prep now..

Glad to find this thread, which means I'm not the only eager bride here.. =)

But izzit really neccessary to start the prep so early since all hotels date are not release yet?
So anyone ask around b4 which are the dates best in 2006?
 
no probs cindee.
i saw some v cute ones there...

ksbride, hallo! think the tong shu for 2006 not released yet. so even if the geomancer picks the date for u now, he might need to check the tong shu when it's out. correct me if i am wrong gals...

i jus called up Oaks & Grill (for my ROM) , the coordinator Elaine says that the menu that she have now is onli for 2004. 2005 menu/pricing might change. haiz...most prob will increase. anyway i asked her to send let me see see...
