Dun upset! I met one of the hotel coordinator who is so rude and thought we have no money! And indirectly insult us. We just blacklist that hotel. Hahas. U must be comfortable with the coordinator as in the future u have to liase with them. And if they are not so flexible they might Just have alot of hidden charges! Nowadays popular hotel dun really care whether ustomer always right rules. There's whole lots of ppl queueing to have their wedding there! Cheer up! Dun compare with ur sis! Shang is a dream wedding venue I really love their ballroom but I know my limit! Dun wan to have bad debt!
If u wan a memorable wedding I think u should focus on a fun wedding den a dull and expensive wedding! March in ideas? Games and lucky draw? Not just cake cutting and table phototaking!!

Jim, i got the same feeling too.. oh... mayb my ang mo not good.. the coordinators at both places i shortlisted gave me this feeling.. =(

Totally agree with what Cherry said. The hotel co-ordinator is another important personnel you will want to have a cordial relationship with. If you're uncomfortable with him/her, better not to sign with that person else your whole wedding planning will be total frustration.
And like what Cherry mentioned, some hotels are just tougher to get perks out from them but it's a bonus if you can get it. That aside, hope you will make your decision soon so that you will be less miserable. It's a tough choice but it's a choice you have to make.

Maggie my angmoh sux too. Hahas. Dun worry u can let ur hubby do the negotiation. And when u got something to ask just speak secretly to ur hubby ear and let him do all the talking!! You need my help? I got packages details of quite a number of hotel.
Jim, the thing is my htb is not one who will bargain... =(
me got the packages details for the places I tot of.. either the date is booked or only lunch is available..
i dun mind lunch but my mum wants dinner.. =(
my MiL got someone to "calculate" the suitable dates.. minus Christmas Eve, I'm left with one weekday & one weekend..
i tot take weekday.. but htb wants a weekend..

Mm tricky situation . Maggie , perhaps u have a good chat with your hubby to compromise on a date that both of you are happy with .=) Actually weekend I feel is better , cos the guests will not have to rush down after work to attend the banquet n if you have it on a weekdays , the attendance rate might not be as good as held on a weekend . Of course , held on a weekday , the advantage is cheaper cost !
mm take your time n write down the pros n cons n discuss with your hubby . Most importantly both of u must be happy with the decision
. Mmm ... When comes to negotiation , I'm the one who negotiate cos I'm a sales personnel , haha n I can negotiate better than my fiancé . However , my fiancé , his English is better ( ACS (I) boy) . Maggie if you are a better at negotiating , then u be the 1 who bargain
I'm sure u can do it !!! Jia you
Hi Cherry
We are doing lunch...so slightly cheaper...also we like the fact that we can end the day early...
Hi Jim
Lunch is cheaper...we also on budget...then can end the day early...
Hi Kat
actually wanted 20.11.2011, but it was already taken at Intercon...so we took a next alternative date...hahah...
hmmm...not much planning going on yet as of now...jus want settle venue asap...
Hi Maggie
Can tell your mum lunch is cheaper and u guys wanna rest early...
(to convince her, u can try get a room for her, then say if do lunch, she can enjoy her room earlier..)just my 2cents worth....

now my sis drafting email to "fight" for me.. got to wait lor.. when htb & I were there to view the ballroom, we tried to ask for more things.. she kept saying "this is the best 1 can do.. but if you wanna confirm us, mayb i can "fight" for more.."
now i wanna confirm so i asked for more thru email but she refused my requests.. =(
you call this "fighting" for me??
haiz... my heart cold liao... if this time still cannot... i'll go find other places..

Hi Jim, my htb liked Carlton partly cos there's free parking for his bike frens.. but that's not important cos they can car pool..
ultimately is the feel of the place & the service staff..
btw, 2 Oct is auspicious too.. according to Carlton, they are charging $50 more per table..
my emails to Carlton is polite & courtesy cos i'm asking for more perks..
i know she can't decide so ask her to discuss with the mgmt..
but she kept saying "...my hands are very tight, and I have offered you the best I can."
she dun want my business.. I'm sure some place out there will want.. so now i'm looking at other places..

Hi Maggie ! Where have u went for holiday ?

hey gals I'm so excited ! I have fixed my first appointment with my bridal shop on 18 dec 2010 ! Haha . Soo looking forward to it .

Hahas Hilton there's pillar but I think concorde is pillarless? Look like ur budget also is above 1k theres alot of hotel available if u got this budget!
Maggie have u visited holiday inn orchard city centre??
Hmm if I'm negotiating with hotel coordinator most probably is fight for our own rights and benefits like additional stay and anniversary stay won't be worry about parking. If u bother about ur guest transport den guest that take public transport are u going to reimburse their transport fee? Hahas if there's so must thing to be consider for the selection of banquet venue, will only stress urself only. Okay select a venue that u like and suit ur criteria. All the not so priority try to ask from the hotel coordinator!! Okay jiayou!!

btw, carlton called.. apologized & said that those were wat she can give & her mgmt can give.. & wanna confirm with me if i wanna release the date as there are couples wanting to place deposit.. kaoz..... from her emails & her call, all she wants is for me to release the date..
can't she try to accede to my requests & make me her customer?? obviously she dun want my business.. i told her i won't wanna confirm & willing to release the date..
Miho, me still in search of a place... =(

Hi miho ! I will suggest that for bridal packages , go for bridal shopping . Eg : fix a few appointments over the weekend with the bridal shops you hVe in mind , to see their gowns , try on the gowns n see their albums . This is also to judge their service n see if you like the gowns . Do not need to sign with them straight away . Take your time to hunt around
. After u find your ideal bridal shop, then u can sign with then on the BOW event
. ( provided that they are participate in the event) I wont suggest u go for roadshow straightaway , cos they can be v pushy n their perks can made you sign on the spit straightaway . U have no idea if you like the gowns anot , this can b v risky .

Have not been back for some time and this thread sure moves fast. Hope everyone is doing fine!
miho, Ling, Evette: Welcome to the Oct 2011 BTB thread! Hope all of your planning is going well and update us on the progress oh!
miho, we have the same hotel for our AD! Who is your co-ordinator?
Anyway most of us here have already decided on quite a number of items and sitting back to relax for some time while probably doing homework and stuffs for what's to come next year. Hehez.
Hope you will find your BS soon! But remember to take your time to find the ideal one, don't decide too hastily which you wanna go with until you made comparisons. Like what Cherry mentioned, it's better to visit the BS itself before signing up at the roadshow as you will probably have a clearer idea of what they have and what you can get since usually they will display the best at the roadshow. Good luck!
Maggie, since you're already not happy with Carlton so why not just release the date for our couples who probably might want their kind of service and package? I mean at this stage even if you get it, probably the working relationship between you and the co-ordinator wouldn't be great. I'm sure you can find a better one which will give u better service.
I personally have not been to Concorde before so I can't give a feedback on it. My personal opinion with Hilton is that if you're taking the Grand Ballroom, it has pillars and also it's sharing lifts with the other ballroom. So if another wedding there, I just don't like the idea of having two brides at the same spot so near to each other. But ultimately it's your choice and we all hope you will find a suitable one soon! Good luck!
Cherry, you're going for appointment for? It's getting exciting when the real thing is coming. Hahaha! My hubby and I are thinking of ideas for our photoshoot next year. And also brainstorming on how to do our slideshow that will be shown before our march-in. Hehez.
Jim, I already ROM-ed this June. Hehez. Cannot be pregnant before AD else how to wear lovely gowns?! Hehez.

ha lydia....
oh yes....actually was because I took up taiwanese BS package as I am going to Taiwan for prewedding shoots...
then I wanted prewedding shoots in Singapore as well, so I took up a package from Whitelink, so my coordinator asks me to sell the AD for $1700...
Thomson is also nice....different right, you need the gowns to bring over to Prague..

Hi all,
Do you all book your BS first or photographer?
I am thinking to engage a photographer for pre-wedding album. However, I also know that most BS do also have in house photograher.
Not sure which one I should start first. Any comments?

Hi everyone,
I was browsing the thread when I see lots of useful information. =)
My AD is on 19 Oct and now I am looking around for bridal shops. Any recommendations for lace gowns?
My hotel venue is more or less fixed, just negotiating some terms.
Hope to hear from you ladies soon.. =)

Hey thanks,
I havent really gone gown shopping. Just browsing mags and gathering feedbacks for now.
Heard a few friends telling me about Dang Bridal, Wedding Present, Silhouette Atelier & Julia Wedding News. Not so sure myself. But thanks for your recommendation. Will go check Renee L Collection too..
Did you take their package?

Hey miho, my gowns will be designed by Ted Collection. I'm doing ala carte for my wedding.
My wedding co-ordinator is Eugene. Hehez. Hope you have fun doing bridal shopping!
Ling, it depends on what you want and if you like the portfolio of the BS. Probably you can check out the BS photographer's portfolio before deciding whether you want to go for a freelance photographer? And of 'cos also the cost wise whether it is within your budget.
Lydia, congratulations on finding another photographer. So no worries as of now!
Welcome missypenguin! Hope you have fun shopping for your bridal studio!
My brother-in-law's wedding has just ended on Saturday! Phew. It was really all the details that made my hubby ran 'bout helping him out. Felt as if it's our wedding the way we helped out. So with the experience, we now will try to ensure nothing of such happens on our wedding day!
