Suz, I think you can email these 2 hotels to go down for a site viewing. And if you like the place, ask them to do tentative booking for you first. Just incase someone book your dates before the wedding show.
Yah, I also thought Piggy signed up with OCC - Orchid Country Club ?
Are you looking at Orchard Hotel or Orchard Parade Hotel?

Emerald, Oriental is nice. It's my first few choices. But its a pity my table no. cant fit their minimum and maximum tables for their ballrooms. Either too big or too small for us.
We went down on our own to view the garden suite or ballroom (happened to have a wedding dinner and we sneaked in before the hosts/ coordinators were there to take a peek of the whole setup).
The place is very nice, enclosed and private. Very suitable for those with small dinner.

Errr guys, not always can cover back from wedding dinner (judging from friend's experiences) One kena $4 ang bao...=P
Plus depends also on whether u got to give ur parents and in laws tables or not and whether or not they keep the ang baos...
Got a fren kena $4k/$7k loss (can't remember) but her mom gave back some of the ang bao she kept so ended up the loss was less...but still owch lor

hi shice
you can update your table with what i've booked so far. i feel very pressurised cos some of the PG i called are already booked for my date!
Church (3 Jan) - St Ignatius
Dinner (3 Jan and 4 Jan) - Four Seasons
BS - Not taking package. One of our friends is a fashion designer, so we got him to do my gown.

my honeymoon not immediately after wedding. so no budget for it :x
im hoping the loss will come from the alcohol, and not from the costs of the tables.. den i guess i'll feel more justified.
at first i was thinking who added me on facebook, so its shir ah. welcome to facebook + its applications!

emerald, hmm.. most of the hotel i asked all hard liquor corkage will be wavie. only red wine will b charge de.
for me most of my guest will be on beer more, so i will still bring hard liquor but not more than 10 bottles.
i also havent confirm honeymoon nw. jus let it be till next yr den decide. dont wanna stress so much on it 1st. u too dont overstress urself.
my wedding budget is within 50k. hope it doesnt hit more than tat. gotta cross my finger. heheh
if u hav proper planning, shd not face this problem de. all the best!

depends on the ppl you invite. usually ppl around our generation go for beer/red or white wine.. so for my case, because of my bf's professional, i got to make sure there's free flow beer or free bottle per table. (if not sure lugi, coz his friends all scary drinkers) that's my own experience
if im not wrong, red/white wines bought from outside can return if not used right? i remember reading it somewhere in the forum.
we budget abt 40k. hopefully can stay within the budget.

$40K is inclusive of banquet rite?? but most of the time, we will be able to recover at least 70% of the banquest cost rite??
I tink cost of the BS / PG / VG will be higher - i factor in abt $6K for gowns n suits alone leh..hahaha
come to tink of it, i tink my budget sumthing wrong.

ello ladies =)
wah emerald, ur budget way higher than mine lor =) Wish I had ur budget...hahaha as for corkage, see if the hotel can waive but for hard liqour it's mainly for the older generation so see what your parents say. Maybe have them pay for the hard liqour since it's for their friends?
Suz, if you buy wine outside, quite a few places can do on consignment (like u said lah, buy some and can return the rest if never open)
u all budget for banquet is including the alcohol n all that ah? =P I think my budget macham like no budget like that...haha
