I have the package from intercontinental hotel. But unable to upload here..size is too big. Can i have your email so that i can send to ur email directly.
Not too sure if u r still updating the table. Anyway my AD date has been fix and its on 27 Sept 2008. Maybe u would like to update the chart? Will update on the venue later.
Thanks Karen... Are you giving out ang pow on CNY? Not too sure if to give or not since not yet customary...But ROM already in a way is also married, so must give... or not... hmmm

I will email you the hotel package on monday coz today i'm on MC then the package i saved at my office website.
We are not give any ang pow in coming CNY and only be giving after customery in 2009. I think after ROM, also shouldnt get any ang pow ba? dono correct onot..haha...
Still serching for hotel. most of the hotel are not ready for the wedding package for year 2009. Think by next year then starts viewing the hotel's ballroom and discuss abt the hotel. wahaha... u guys taking wedding photos already?
Hi Karen,
Can you let me know ur frenz in Marriot hotel in advance? so in future, if we wana view their ballroom, we will look for him i/o of others. maybe can give us some good offer? haha....
I meant Wedding planner... if u need one wedding planner when u hold it at Marriot Hotel , i can recommend u one that is my fren who did my wedding for me.
orr...i dont reli understand. ur frenz is working Marriot hotel as a wedding planner or juz a wedding planner who will help you to arrange the whole event under ur estimate barget?
Hi, my rom was held at Marriott and the wedding planner/co-ordinator is Charlene. My friend had her wedding in the ballroom. The whole set-up was beautiful.
I invited less than 40 guests and cater all vegetarian food. The chef prepared the western style. My guests like the taste of the food but most of them could not finish them as it was too cheezy and big serving. However, I attended my friend's wedding banquet last dec. Those who were eating non-veg food commented the food was ok, nothing fanciful.
I perfer Marriott as I think their package is very attractive to me. u all know if one table is $888++, how much it will end up after the two ++ being add in?
Then usually how much deposit need to put when u reserve with the hotel?
But there is only two ++. Like tt also required to add additional 18% ya? wah...Then how much deposit are required to put when reserve a wedding dinner with the hotel?
From what I understand its is usually 10% svc charge, 7% GST and 1% cess so total is 18%. You could check with the hotel. They will give you the break down.
Usually hotels deposit is $3000. For mine, we are also ask to put $3000.
Hi Karen,
You can update my profile. My AD venue is Novotel Clarke Quay. BS is Our Wedding Affairs. Sorry to trouble you hor...
Usually the package include beer of 30 or 20 L, so this amount izzit enough for 40 tables? I not tt sure lei.. worry if order to much, guest cant finish, waste, but if order too little, guest later request.
Do you mind sharing your package and coordinator contact for GS? Thinking to take a look there.
Tried calling a few times and no answer from them yet. Maybe call them at the wrong time.
Glad to see tis forum name appear in my email again..haha..
Ya..anyway, have already confirm date and hotel for our AD le. it's will be 19 Sept 09 at le meridien. Hai..the wedding price has increase so much in 2008 and even further increase in 2009...faint lei...
Hi Luvz17,
It's should be just the excel file ba...i think...haha...
HahA..we 'kiasu' wor..but u know wat...understand from e other forum that 30 or 31 Dec 2009, certain hotel has been fully booked...I heard that I was like so shock...hoohoo...19 Sept 2009 is a hot day, fall on Sat and so many '9'..another thing is tt it is 1st day of Aug (in lunar calender). and there are alot of brides want this day, that why my hubby and myself decided to view the hotel and book it 1st. All the hotel increase their wedding package rate by $100 -$300. We were being told by the planner after we signed up with the hotel that their hotel going to increase also...Hai..I wonder all the hotels increase their price happily, they dont worry couples are unable to to afford the price and not decide to have wedding dinner ma? Haha
No lah...bt seriously, if you dun book now, you will have hard time finding your wedding venue later. At least for now, you can put your mind at ease for this matter, at least..
Hope all of you are doing fine. It's been quite a while since I visited the forum. Very busy with work. I have finally settled my AD date and venue. It's on 10th Dec 2008 at Furama Riverfront. Most of the weekends are booked.
It's so exciting! We are going to take PS soon. =)
Hi Klping, you are back!! hahaha....
You mean you have chosen your gown and going for PS so soon?? I will only select in Apr. Wondering if I have enough time.
Did you take the ballroom next to the pool? I actually wanted that (cant rem the name of the ballroom)... but the room was taken on the date that I have chosen... So in the end I settle for Novotel Clarke Quay.
I will be choosing my gowns this Saturday. Very excited... hehehe... PS probably in Apr...
Oh yes! That's the one! We checked a number of hotels and those dates were booked so when we went to Furama Riverfront, we fell in love with the ballroom with glass panels looking out to the pool when we were shown to the room. Actually someone took the date too but we could confirm on the spot and pay the deposit and the other party was willing to give it to us, we had it! =)
I am so happy for you. In fact, I would enjoy the gown selection and PS process. Enjoy!
If I rem correctly, you are one of the Z wed BTB, right? Can you recommend a good co-ordinator and make-up artist? I heard that Pony, teh MUA is very popular but her time schedule is very tight and we would have to compromise our time schedule with her. How about Candy?
haha.. tot this thread has gone quiet... well, from the list, i think i'm the 1st to hv my AD.. and it's this SUN.... super tired.. will update u all again..
I was only inform today that I have to leave for buisness trip this thurs and will only be back next fri... which means i have to change the date for my gown choosing. So disappointed
i have change to next Sat, and hopefully nothing crop up again...
klping,
I fell in love with that room too, especially the pool. U can have yr pre-cocktail at the pool... So cool.... When i was there, we offered to pay deposit on the spot too, but when they call that couple who reserved they refuse to give up... so no choice lor... Novotel the gd thing is they have 1 ballroom on each level... therefore we can have the whole foyer to our self... thats the consolation lor....
Hi Elaine,
Congrats! You must be excited... Do keep us update k.... And do have a good rest and be a radiant bride next sun... Show us yr pics k...
