Hi Blur, for Chijmes, u have to rent the venue first...depending on ur day/time, the rental starts from $1800-3600. Then u have to arrange for Chijmes in-house caterer, Kriston, Hyatt other official caterers of chijmes to get their wedding banquet packages. I find it quite exp especially after adding the $3600.
Think u have to be careful of some charges like china wares, kitchen rental, waiters/waitress, etc...some caterer charge like $15nett per person for such services...meaning, if u have a guest list of 300, on top of the chinese banquet price, u still need to add $15 * 300.
Also, CHijmes only cater for max of 30 tables (including use of the asile which will be locked by the columns)...
Ching, I have short-listed a couple already...so now waiting for the new packages to come out...places like MC will open booking for 2006, but u must pay additional o $20 per table as advance booking surcharge...and their yearly package increase is only about $5-10 so unless i die die want that date...else no point booking now...
I have asked for Orchard hotel or Orchard Parade? I tot Orchard Parade is the one with good food...cos it's prepared by Chinois? anyway, orchard parade is out for me cos the ballroom too small
Hahah...Ching...so 'qiao'...my FH attended a friend's wedding there

Hi moo, maybe u can try hyatt...hyatt has a couple of rooms that are not too bad...and still looks grand...think it's hibiscus or stamford...but i am not too sure what is their min
I would say goodwood is a good choice for 16 tables...i like the ballroom a lot...very cosy...

Hi Cindee,
U can wait for next year Aug (2005) package to be out for Aug-Dec 2006...so that means u have like 1 yr in advance for the booking.
MC advance surcharge goes like this:
eg: Date 2nd Aug 2005. Currently package is valid till 31st Jul 2005. Come Aug 2004, MC will release packages for Aug-Dec 2005. If u book after the release of the packages, then u don't need to pay for the surcharge...else, a $20 surcharge will be imposed on each table.
Are u even more blur? ;p According to the coordinator, their package increase might just be $5-10...but surcharge is $20...unless u really really want that date so badly, else, i don think many ppl does advanced booking...but the other time when i was there, a couple actually paid for advanced booking for Oct 2005

Morning Gals!!
Ching, yeah...MC got the so called surcharge for advanced booking...advanced booking applies when the date u wanted, the package is not released yet. So if u want June 2006 (same as me), then we have to wait till Jan 2005 for the Jan-Aug 2006 packages liao lor...
Cindee...Have u looked at Marina Mandarin's ballroom? Maybe u want to check with the coordinator if they have any intention to reno the place...cos i understand that they have renovated some 2 years ago...so by 2006, dunno if they have plans to renovate...after hearing the story of Oriental, i quite scared...everywhere i go, i also ask if they have plans to reno their ballroom...heheh
I understand what u mean when u want to get the hotels and stuffs out...i also hope to do that...but now not possible lor...unless like for ur case, u are not particular about date...then much easier. My FIL are quite particular about all these...so i'd better be good and stick to their wishes on this

marina mandarin more $$ than mandarin in orchard loh. perks not as gd somemore. so din go there. ya heard abt oriental. my final list was actually oriental, mandarin and merchant. but, like u, after hearing abt oriental, a bit apprehensive. plus the new rate very $$ also.
guess i shall wait for the jan package to be out frm MC then. cos considering either end may or early dec. if may, then our wedding will be near each other manz...hehee..

hi ching
me from NCC. but the wedding will be at my bf's church...luteran church of the redeemer. still deciding between mandarin court or ballroom. but ballroom must hv min 50. will look nice lah..but too many tables...the thought of me going around to so many tables tires me haha.
so trying to cut down to max 38...cos heard to get unblocked view...max 35-38 tables in mandarin court...u looking and mandarin also?
really love merchant though...but to get compliementary seat covers...must min 45 tables..then after deatiled comparing, mandarin still cheaper...sighz...so sad

Hi Ching...me still no change yet...looking at ard Dec 05 or latest Jun 06...but by the look of the development of my hse...think Jun would be a safer date lor...hotel wise also not much changes...still the few that i am looking at...now just deciding if i should do separate day for tea...cos the date that i liked is a Tues...so might have tea on Sun, easier for relatives and friends lor...
Cin...that's the prob with MC. they charge for seat covers and all...and they are very strict with negotiation. not much can be done lor
i also have to factor in the seat covers...cos i only have about 40 tables...
BTW, how is mandarin court? I have gone to see it yet...how much is the weekend package? corkage of wine waived for all? hehhe..sorry...so many Qs

bf just returned from overseas,and after discussion, think will forgo MC. besides the fact that we have to pay hidden costs, like the seat covers, the stage is very small. cant hv much activities, esp since we wan to hv some small games. hehee...to liven up the atmosphere.
mandarin wkend is $804. the perks are a whole lot better lah. 2 nights stay. i also got a rm for my coordinators and that includes a night stay for them. got vouchers for Top of the M, got seat covers, get to choose 2 wedding flavors. more variety - fruit cake or pralines, bear, chopsticks or candles. we should be taking 2 bears. hehe..very cute. then additional bottle of champagne..no corkage for hard liquor, wines and champagne brought in. compliementary use of projectors. so all in all, better than MC. the stage confirm a whole lot bigger than MC also.
saw mandarin court. din not see it with the deco though. but heard from the forum can hv 38 tables with unblocked view. so gd enough lah.
i also factor in the seat covers for MC for 40 tables. add up more $ than mandarin. then the perks also. sighz. for us, it is pretty much set up liao. still gonna neg for more stuff. hehe...

Cin...yeah, the bad thing abt MC is the hidden costs...and the corakge. MC is very strict with their perks. Maybe i should also get my FH to go look at mandarin court. So whom at Mandarin did u liaise with? Is he/she easy to negotiate?
Do u have their package? Can send it to me?
[email protected] thanks.

sent u liao. hahaa...i have looked at crown prince, amara, hyatt, marriot, merchant, marina mandarin, oriental, pan pacific, inter-continental, carlton and mandarin. as i looked ard i compare amongst themselves too. that prob explains why it is so fast.
now we also gonna consider house. his parents offer to bring us to some...that makes it more necessary to settle the hotel fast. cant wait to get it over and done with.

Morning Gals...
Ching, I am meeting Hyatt sometime next week...but dunno if i eventually will take it or not...cos the weekend package is kind of high. Hahah...yes, Marriott is still in my list...but as the price is high...might have to re-consider lor.
Ching, HI that u mentioned is Hotel Intercon right? For that, i quite like that place, but the ballroom is a little too small for me...cos the max that they can accomodate is ard 36 tables...and this in my view would be quite cramped...cos the other time when i went to see the ballroom settings, there was a wedding with 34 tables and in between tables, the space is quite limited...but the ballroom is nice and pillarless
I din go to the Hyatt wedding fair...cos my date is not so near and as i already have BS package, i don see the need to go there...maybe the next one i might go if it's still in my potential list
Personal opnion of Marina Mandarin is that the ballroom is quite dim which makes it look old. Food wise, my FH say it's not too bad...ok. If you gals have in mind to take Marina, i would suggest that you find out from the coordinators if Marina has plans for upgrading or renovation of their ballroom...cos from what i understand, they renovated their ballroom like 2 yrs ago...but by the time we have our banquet in 2006, the ballroom would have been at least 4 years...so i think best to sound out if they are going to renovate.
Yami...of course must get official proposal lor...cannot let them go so easily...they always use the "Lets go apply for HDB" as proposal hor...heheh

Bugbear..
you doing so intensive research.. you think FH catch the hint need to propose or not?
Me also act nonchalent infront of him man.. He dont mention anything I also dont say. See he can wait how long I wait with him. Somemore HDB say by year end have to give some form of receipt to verify the intent to married. Than I nov literally in US for at least half a month or longer. Make him kan cheong.
Wah.. think I lagi mean right.. but dont want to look back and regret what some girls have and I dont..

Hi Vio...
If u really want a date, you can get a geomancer to calculate. With the characters and stuffs, the geomancer can calculate a date good for wedding for u...then when the tong shu for the respective yr is out, go back to the geomancer and he will calculate the timing for u. THink standard is about $100.
I called up a geomancer and this is what he told me. Personally, i haven't gone to any yet

oh ya...bugbear
looks like u dun hv to envy me afterall. turned out that there are changes to the venue...bf's father said we should use the garden they have at home...got a patch of land beside the house...a garden...more unique...can fit some 300 people loh...and one of his cousins, who is very gd with deco and interior design, can be in charge of the deco and wedding flavors...anyway have seen his cousin's work...wow..it is very nice...i have even gotten him to do up my house...hehehe...save money...so guess we may not hv it at mandarin afterall...a bit disappointed cos i was beginning to like mandarin a lot...on the verge of signing somemore...but guess garden wedding is gonna be so much more unique...my initial dream wedding...now i just hv to start my planning all over again. so i am back to square one.

Morning Gals...
Blur, I think it is absoluetly alright to sign up ur BS now...especially since they are throwing in the ROM package for u. good deal leh.
Cin...Wah!! Ur FH house is SO HUGH. Can accomodate 300 pax?! Where is this place? Such a hugh piece of land ar.
Yami, i also have not rom yet...and a lot of ppl told me that they can just use the banquet or even the BS receipt as prove of marriage...then can defer. Try doing that if u really wan ur rom to be on the same date as ur AD.

Hi Yami..
Me got my flat last oct actually.. this jan got the keys liao. When HDB sent me to remind me to sent the ROM cert.. I wrote a letter to appeal for my wedding to be held in 2006. It was approved but have to give them proof of receipts from bridal salon or banquet to prove your intent to get married soon.
Me wanna do it same day so easier for us and no need to plan twice.. budget also problematic. That's why might as well loh..
hope the above help!
Anyway the BS signing should be okay lah but provided you really like the BS lah. dont sign on impulse
