as for JP, i had Mr Phang..he's quite ok..think he's more comfortable in mandarin though..hehe..
well, he's not the talkative type..so it's really up to u to see what kind of solemniser u like

Hi tete,

I just went to Traders hotel to view the site. Which room are you taking? Are you being serve by Shaiful? I'm considering the hotel too.

i tried before using website to choose the date for my ROM bt when checked against the tongshu 2007, it reflected a 'bad' day instead of 'gd' as shown in the website...its juz my encounter..
if ur not beri particular, using the websites will be good enough n save u further headaches :p

Hmm.. how accurate are these sites? Really confused now.. went to a shifu for some dates.. and it's quite different from the websites..

Hi Tete,

Is Charlotte new? The coordinator told us that there is one coordinator in the event team (which is him).

Have discussed with my FH and decided not to get TH. I am now considering Grand Copthorne & Grand Shanghai. We went to MM to view the rooms and fell in love with the new decor but decided to drop it as it's above our budget and we are having a small group as well.

hi jojo,

charlotte is relatively new.. Event manager i think. I went to Marina Mandarin too. Didn't select that as my group have to use Vanda ballroom which ceiling is quite low.

I think grand corpthorne more expensive than marina mandarin if I am not wrong =)

But i heard the place is nice!

Hello purple rose,

For PG, you may consider Jayce Goh. www.jaycephotography.com

He was recommended to me by a PG friend (who does only advertisements photoshoots but not events). I met him and found him really nice. Even before I sign with him, he will give suggestions on how I can slot in some photoshoot in the morning after I enter my FH's house and serve tea to his parents since my auspicious hour is insanely early and most relatives won't be there. His digital designs for some photos are also very nice.

He is a little more expensive than those freelancers that are PGs only on weekends (part time) but cheaper than many of those PGs out there.

As for the JP and deco, I cannot offer suggestions cos I am doing my ROM in church. Deco I'm still sourcing.

Hi Jule, what u find from the websites are general dates. It's more accurate if u were to get a geomancer to check because they'll base on both the date & time of the couple & sometimes even the zodiac of both parties' parents so as to choose a most suitable date for both of u. Even dates for ROM & customary are choosen differently. One man's meat maybe another man's poison, a good day for someone may be a bad day for another, there's no such thing as one size fits all, no such thing as one good day for everyone & everything they do. For example, a day that's good for marriage will not be good for visiting. Therefore it's always wiser to choose properly.

I finally have a clue of what's going on now...

ROM in SG Dec this year followed by wedding in Melbourne and then back to SG for customary. Tons to and so little time.. you ladies are already booking ballrooms when I don't even know what kind of wedding to have in mind.

hi tete,

My AD is on 27th Jan(Tea Ceremony) & my wedding dinner will be on 28th Jan...so have you confirmed your lunch venue? am having a hard time confirming a venue coz' hotels that we have shortlisted have yet to release the 2008 wedding packages.

hey sasa,

Thanks so much! I received the email =) just need that to double confirm whether my ROM date is a good or ultra bad one.. hee hee

The shifu I went to did not ask for the timing(ba zi) just our year and animal, the parents' animal sign is to make sure the day u choose dont clash with their sign..
 

dduchess

the "shifu" i went to too say, don't bother so much about the dates since we had already set mind on our anniversary date.

in general if the date is fine for marrying then fine already. as for clashing, he mentioned that those clashes just stay one side when the bride is entering. thereafter will be fine to go through the ceremony.

unless we are really so "pantang" want exact good dates, he can do that for us, using both parents' and our birth dates. and most probably, such dates won't be what we had in mind.

to save the trouble, we decided on the former.

Hi Tete,

I felt that MM is more expensive then Grand Copthorne. As im holding a lunch instead of dinner, the price is slightly different from normal rate. MM is offering 700+++ while GCW is only 600+++.
I'm in a dilemma now as i need to choose between Grand Shanghai & Grand Copthorne fast! Both me & FH like GS for the Shanghai theme and it's within our budget. But the decor is slightly bland as compared to GCW, a more casual luncheon. GCW has the glamour factor, does make it feel more like a wedding rather. Sigh.

Tete,

Im having the same date as u! So you are the other couple that book the 6th Jan at TH! All along i thought u are having dinner.
happy.gif


I'm also luncheon too. Just to check is 6th Jan an auspicious date? According to TH, it is. Both my family & FH Family did not check on dates as they leave the decision up to us, we realise that it's a pretty hot date for weddings.

hi jojo,

I see, you booked traders hotel too? what a coincidence! hee hee actually 5th January and 6th January are both good dates. We went to the geomancer to confirmed it. =)

You will be taking the grand ballroom?

hi jojo,

hm... i didnt know GCW cost 600+++ only.. if I knew it, maybe i wont take traders hotel haha because after wedding can go zouk =p
 

blur_queenie

New Member
Hi tete,

haha, think i'll rather stay indoor and sleep!
As i'm taking the 8 course, that's why it's 600+++ only, the 7 course is only 598+++.

Hi tete,

I'm not taking TH, both me & FB decided to take GCW instead (refer to 2008 bride thread). We were at TH to enquire about the date and realise that the smaller ballroom has been taken for lunch. The grand ballroom is nice as it's spacious and might even add tables in event we bust our guestlist. haha. Well, my FH do not like the location, therefore forgo it.

Actually the 6th represent something to us , that why we take 6th,didnt know it's such a hot date. Most of the places have been fully booked for these two dates!
 

hatemenot

New Member
really?? the coordinator didnt tell me it's 598+++ if it's 7 course... anyway i already booked traders.

so you confirmed at GCW?

jojo,

can advise GCW includes 1 barrel of beer? or any free wine? how about corkage?

thanks!

hi jojo,

i see. me only have about 17 tables that's why difficult to find venue to fit me and a ballroom i like. kinda like temasek ballroom hee hee.. glad that you found your choice too! GCW has good location. =)

welcome Mrs C.. when's your date?
 

blur_queenie

New Member
Tete,

Which coordinator did u approach for GCW? Mine is Jeremy, pretty friendly guy.

There isnt any free barrel of beer nor waiver of corkage for the luncheon. I'm going to nego for it. Same goes for the food tasting, which im trying to get it for free. Anyone manage to bargain for both free barrel of beer & waiver of corkage?

Where else are your friends looking for the venue? Cos i have some packages for some hotels which i can forward for reviewing.

Think i better post here, i'm a bit too noisy at 2008 thread. :p

Just went to MBR & Angel Atelier. Wasn't impress by the gowns there though fancy one gown from MBR but PS not to my taste. Maybe my expectation too high. Will source out some more tmr. Any one visited Di Gio? Fall in love with one of the gown featured in Style Wedding.

Hi joenbby

Not true leh. With the latest plan, I'm taking care of the ROM in SG in Dec and he'll take care of the wedding in Melbourne. For SG customary, we've yet to discuss.. Best still is that he throw me a budget and asked me to settle everything - without any indication of the party size, etc..
