Hi all Aug 2007 Brides,
I am also a Aug 07 Bride to be.
Intially, i chose my AD on 27 Oct, but decided to give up this date as the date was too hot!
Wah,really not many pple getting married on August month...hehehee...
From wat i know, 13th August 2007 will be the start of the 7th lunar month.
To share some info with my fellow Aug07 BTB,
my AD will be 04-08-2007, Sat. (Chinese Lunar is 22nd of the 6th month)
Both our families are not pantang, so we dun mind getting unpopular dates, but not 7th month dates too.
I chose this date as my bday is on 4th august, and hubby's bday is on 3rd august.... so easier to remember next time.
My BS is Mr n Miss Wedding Club at Tanjong Pagar. Liaise with Benson whom i find very nice and flexible.
We went to a few hotels to look.
1) Amara: Both of us dun like it.lukewarm service and so-so food.
2) Pan Pac: Perks ok, but we dun like their L shaped ballroom. Deco was also very out dated.
3) Marina Mandarin: came close to closing the sale, but lost in the end as the perks provided was so-so. Also, guests may have prob with the parking there as its shared by 3 hotels n the Marina shopping square. (600 lots only)
4) Sheraton Towers: Liked the food, the perks, the price. But the ballroom a big no-no for us.
5) Marriott hotel: Ballroom-good enuff. high ceiling of 16.8. can take in our 35 tables for weekend.price steep,but for 5 star, and for the perks they give, we feel its worth it. Marriott has a wedding show this sat and the perks are really worth taking a look. deco for ballroom is good too.
we went down yest to meet the coordinator (alicia) and really liked her as well. friendly and sincere service. she even buy us dinner at Marriott.
Once both families are ok with this hotel,we will place a deposit. So, most prob will be Marriott.

Cheers to all August 2007 BTB!!
