ahblur baby, I attended a wedding dinner at orchard parade hotel last dec. It was ok except that the guests kept being rushed thru the meals and the layout is kinda odd because confirm will have some guests blocked by pillars (depending on how many tables u have)

Carlton, what I read from the forum thread is that the service is not consistent...so just a warning =)

1.2K?? Errr....mine is a lunch event, $699nett. Hehe...so i consider that cheap lor...But come to think of it, people's angpow might shrink because it a lunch affair.

They have 3 different size for ballroom. But i requested for the min 40tables ballroom so i can have a dance floor. Maybe the price increase now? I guess you all have to check with the coordinator from there.

Part of me is telling me to save on the favors since it's inclusive in the banquet, but another part of me is telling me that I need to find some unique favors instead. Sighs... haha...

oic.. lunch one is normally cheaper as seldom ppl wan to have lunch event..

mayb will shrink on angpow. but since u hold in in orchard, will nt shrink much de.

no worries.

every yr price will increase de lor. juz is hw much.
so far i c hotels increase at leasr $30 - $100 per table. headache.

Hi eternal_mates, I'm not so lucky as you. Cos i didn't take up the packages by the club and Rasa sentosa therefore i will need to buy the wedding favours myself. I came across a very cute gift (plant in egg case) and now looking for supplies for it. Its called eggling but its quite expensive. I saw a similar one at one of the novelty shop, hoping the boss could give me a cheap quotes. Its looks like eggling from Japan but smaller and can have plants like mint, lavander etc. very cute. check out www.eggling.com.

If any of you gals interested in that, do let me know. Maybe can get less than $2 for it. or you know of any suppliers, please let me know too.

Hi girls, i'm a may 09 bride too...thinking of either 16 may or 21 may....thought i'll have lotsa time to look for a venue but i'm how wrong.....realised that i missed many of the wedding shows for hotels that i'm interested in while flipping through the bridal magazines....

andrea..

tks.. think only a few hotels with no blockage.. so they r hot venues among couples..

Felicia was very experience.. yesterday went down to discuss with her.. Their wedding show will b on 3 May.. More perks if u r paying using UOB card... like free spa for 2 pax, 1 wine per table confirmed, 1 free table n 2 club room..

but at d back there r pillars.. is those huge one... anyway i had made d deposit... so one thing is down...

Glamourous,

yes.. cos those r not within our budget.. =>

cheeky_chick,

tks for updating me into d nominal roll...

Suzanna,

tks.. it's a sat n mention before that it's a holiday after that so got more time to rest.. cos hubby n mil insist on having on sat.. cos most of his friends n colleague might have to work on shift or on duties..

nw left with PG.. still not sure if really need VG anot? see what the PG will propose.. seen his work before.. he was d PG for my fren wedding... quite different from others i saw.. like when guest turn up.. he will start to take pics.. of each individual.. then will update onto d projector.. kind of personal touch.. so had decide to take his service.. got to contact him fast..

Renne,

probably u can call up d PG & VG that u had shortlisted.. tell them yr date so they can advise u... some popular ones, need to confirm earlier... KS it's okay.. cos u wan d best for yr big day.. =>

andrea,

tks... HIPV is very popular too... but i don't understand hw come Holiday Inn Atrium is of d same price.. but d perks r nt as good as HIPV..

Andrea, i guess its becos i rem the rate for HIA in 2008 is around $688, heh. But i guess for 2009, everywhere really increase prices like siao!

A question for all BTBs here...For the bridal car, would u prefer to have a driver? Cos im wondering abt renting a beetle cabriolet but its a 2-seater loh. Im worried my hb will be too tired to drive around whole day. We have our own car lar but im juz toying w the idea. Isit weird if i drive the bridal car myself? Wuhahahahaha....My BS package at JB does not provide car. Opinions anyone?

hey fifteenmay, the MUA i prefer so far is jimmy. the other MUA is called liffery. i had a bad experience with local MUA for my ROM last yr, so most likely gonna engage venus MUA if he proves to be really so gd during the PS =)

hubby chose 18R but i actually prefer the 15R size.

when would u be doing ur PS?
