(2008) Brides of year 2008

heh, i never did catering before but my cousin's wedding lunch reception was yucky. so i must make sure mine at the very least, the food is yummy. haha. anyway, after you girls suggested some, i went to google caterer recommendations in SG and came up with a short list (Rasel, Lavish, Neogardens, Chilli Padi, Smiling Orchid) to discuss with my SO. stef, where did you get the recommendations of Four Seasons? is it really good? for you girls who are like doing church recept/buffet, will you be renting the tables from the caterer or from your church?
 


I will be having about 4 jiemeis also. They will have to take leave as my AD is on Fri. My hubby will think of xiongdis part.. We will try to get same number of jiemei and xiongdi so that it looks good on photos also.. hee

Ade, no worries.. there are quite a number of bridal car rental coys in the market.. take your time to look for one.. Doesnt your BS provide one?
 
morning gals.. ya.. wait till i settle the date.. then i guess things will start to take shape.. otherwise.. everything still KOSONG. haha.

hey tinky, you should go for wedding shows.. really.. have a feel of how it may be like ma.. normally couples who sign up during then will have better discounts.. or so i was told.

for me i hardly join anything from the mags too hehehe..

hey melody, that is the thing , they give you something... they will expect something back in return.. what to do.. :P

Hi Vivdz, ya i know wat u mean... I had my ROM at Carlton hotel and was really worth the memory
happy.gif
AD we wanted do it differently not at hotel but now I fickle minded haiz...

Hi Stef/ us_mei, no I have not booked with Rasel as there were some changes to my wedding date previously. But I have spoken to them and seen their menu so quite satisfied. I think I've tried Four Seasons at my fren's church wedding some time back...quite nice but heard their std has dropped. Lavish,Neo Garden, Smiling Orchid has quite nice food too esp Neo Garden... tried them but its normal catering small qty so dunno abt weddings std. I'll be renting cocktail tables fr the caterer
 
Feb 08 BTB,
What are the prep you have done? It seems only 5mths away to AD. yet, I have nothing much to prep. Have already book BS and Venue.

Are there anything else that need to prepare?
 
morning gals...

Me and my hubby, have shortlisted 4 xiong dis, but have not inform them. One of them is my hubby's buddy, the other 3 is more of my friends. hehe. We wanted the xiong dis to drive. Most of my hubby's friends does not have car. So decided to get my friends instead.
 
Kymmie, just the house alone is more stressful than the wedding... I cannot imagine me doing both at the same time... but I agree with you its a plesant stress! haha!
happy.gif


Stnov, you seem almost done mah... no need panick lah hehe!
happy.gif


Sometimes good to be kiasu a bit... at least settle whatever I can like engaging PG, etc. One item over and done with! hehe!
happy.gif
Next please! haha!

I got one major headache now... I'm doing a wedding lunch buffet... I guess people will eat and fill up quite fast as compared to having to sit thru a 8 course meal. How do I keep my guests entertain after they have eaten? Maybe for around 2 to 3 hours or less? Any suggestion gals?

Hi,

Can someone who is not getting married on the 8 March 2007 share their banquet venue. We are having problem looking for available venue & to make things worse bf needs to work till very late every nite or he is not in Singapore (away due to his job)....
 
Hi hi. I am new here. Am a 19 Jan Bride. Same as most of the brides here. I also have thousand and one thing not done. Sigh.

Busy with house renovation. Now on finishing stage. Been driven mad by the unreliability of some furniture retailers causing delays and wastage of time.

Just confirm photo shoot. Brought my gowns. But no accessories, no rings, no facial/body maintanance, no montage, no guest list, no booking of JP (not time yet right), no florist. Hmmm.. Seems long way to go with only 4 months left!! OMG!
 
Hi BBIguana,
I'm taking their "closed knitted dinner package" which is in the legacy suite instead of the main ballroom. I'm looking at approx 8-9 tables as the max capacity of the suite is only 9 tables. The perks given by Ivah is not bad,had also paid a deposit of $2000 to secure my date.
As for the BS, i've shortlisted a few like thomson wedding, signoria, J&M, Jess Haute Couture, Bridal Concept and Precious Moment Bridal. Will be going down on this sunday with my gal frens to take a look at their package...
I'm quite kaisu, already starting to source around for florists, live band, photographer & videography, baker for my wedding cake etc... really quite a lot to do, haiz

how abt u, have u shortlisted any BS yet?
 
i think my hubby's xiongdis oso dun drive but i will leave it up to them to sort out the arrangements. will u gals ask ur xiongdis to wear coordinated shirts?

btw, does our younger siblings need to serve us tea during the tea ceremony?
 
hi polarwhite,
ok, noted
now got tinkybell, me, snowypooh n polarwhite... wah all of u got such nice nicks...like im going out wif all d santa mamas :P
 
Hi Fifi,

Am looking at using Four Seasons for catering at church. They provide invites as part of their church wedding package. So gonna look at them first. If it works out, will take them and solve the printing problem. Otherwise, will hunt for a printer liao.

Are you also printing the service order/prog?
 
Hi MT, I'm sourcing for BS too, waiting for my hubby, he quite busy lately. can give us an updated of how u feel abt those BS after u went? thanks.

Hi MT,

I'm taking the grand ballroom for my wedding dinner as we are holding about 50tables *fainted*. Ivah is very easy to ask for more perks.. kekeke.. As for BS, i have shortlisted 2 for all-in-one (My Bridal Room &amp; Sophia) and 3 ala-carte (Divine couture, Flamingo and Jess Haute Couture). I had only been to My Bridal Room and the people there are not pushy and friendly too.. Mayb you can share with us after you have gone to those shops which you have shortlisted? Thanks..
happy.gif

Hi RJ and BBIguana,
I will update u again after i've gone BS shopping on sunday:>, I'm going with my gal frens so that i can have more opinions, if i ask my hubby to go with me, i will really **faint 100x** bcos he will tell me all BS and gowns looks similar, not much difference one loh!?
Hopefully i can find a package that suits me&amp;hubby and not burn a hole in our pockets.
Enjoy ur weekends:>
 
Jingsjings, my coordinator is Sharon. Did you go to HR thread? Someone posted the hotel new theme.. i find it not nice as compared to current theme leh..

hey us_mei..
i tried four seasons sometime back too.. and thot it was not bad..

n i saw their packages online..seems quite reasonable... but of coz, heh.. Rasel seems to hv lotsa positive comments.
so , i guess .. likely i'll use them.
i have not checked out neo garden.. heh =)
 
My 6 jie meis seem like a lot le, compared to the rest of you girls. Hehe. For my jie meis, i will probably get them to dress in a specific colour scheme. As for the xiong dis, will leave it to my hubby to decide.

Selina, my BS package does not include the car. Will source around and see how ba.
