shanna: http://www.weddingbeetle.com/ this car co quoted me $280 for renting of their beetle car for 24 hrs, exclude petrol.. so far this is the cheapest quote i got... some others chop the price high up to $400 lor!

jean: our own bridal makeup will take 1.5-2 hrs... do u have so much spare time for ur MUA to makeup for your mothers too? cos for a simple makeover for each mother take 30-40 min... by the time, your schedule to start the dinner might be delayed cos your mothers are not ready yet... this is my view...
Gen: shortlisted Novotel CQ as one of the hotel. cuz hotels the ballroom very small so very little choice..
Sze Sze: i think i asked Noble Hse b4, dun think can do so many tables.. u try asking?
Shanna: i think own sis n mum,MIL will engage a pro MUA to do for them, for jie meis i think will ask them to go salon n do themselves.. LOL
ALL: I've set up a wedding blog, do support.. hehe. http://kaisuezwedding.wordpress.com

suesue: my sis initially signed up for my dream wedding too. but after paying deposit, she kinda regretted n switch to another bridal for TW package.. her frens told her abit overcharged for the HK one.
hmmm regarding MUA, i will consider lor, if i can engage a MUA who can bargain with for grp de, then maybe i can consider... arbo budget constrained.
mrs ho: cos i nvr engage bridal, i think driver is my hub's fren bahs.. maybe wont get a "branded" car, just borrow from his frens.
( or maybe i askmy hairstylist can loan me his jaguar anot.
)

shanna: mmm, im juz gonna do everyting together. solemnization/ wedding. mi and bf have decided not to hold banquet, i dun really like traditional banquet feel... and of coz no $$$$, budget constraint lo...haiz...
Jean: yes, special feel, bt do u tink its similar to those poolside event? im only plannin to invite relatives bt bf side alrdy have like 40pax liao... faintz.. m still liasing w the wedding planner bt they like not very prompt leh...
Ms Ho: mmm, empty arh.. i dunnoe leh, coz if buffet hor, will it b 'ma fan' for the elderly? and do i have to include 'buffet' in my invitation card arh??? if relatives see buffet, hongbao lesser liao...sob sob... *hehe* bt of coz, im prepared for tat liao.

kiko: i haven't really seen the villa before. If it has a bangalow with a pool, then it'll be more of a chalet feel than a pool feel bah...

kiko: usually on the invitation card, they'll just write groom and bride cordially invites you to their wedding celebration at venue on date at time... it's quite generic... doesn't matter whether it's hotel or outdoor or pool or at a chalet...
i kinda feel like doing it at a chalet or restuarant.. a lil tired of the hotel setting.. i want my wedding to be a celebration.. not everyone just sit down and eat and my hubby n i walk in and thats all kind... sigh...quite a headache on this...

woot woot! Shanna and mrs ho doing buffet too… good good… at least I can get more info frm you gals… hehe… okie, got it gals, so I dun have to include the word ‘buffet’.
Shanna: yes, trying to save also lo… doing banquet or should I say wedding is not a cheap ting nowadays. Very stress lo…lol
Jean: yes, it’s a villa w a private pool. Here’s the link: http://www.silosobeachresort.com/villas.htm
Funny ting is that they dun have the floor plan / much pics for the villa, have juz spoken to them liao, askin for all the relevant info.
Ive alrdy added the group 2012BTB hehehee… my email [email protected]
Mrs ho: hao de.. if they ask then I’ll have to say tat…keke…
Btw gals, buffet type no food tasting de arh? I juz spoke to the coordinator and she say buffet dun have food tasting leh. Wonder how the food will be like, coz they do not allow external caterer…

kiko: oh...my bf brought me there before but not the villa la... just the resort side... should be a different side. Anyway, it would be nice to hold it there.. coz it's tucked away from all the hustle and bustle.. and good for cozy celebration. Hmm...maybe u can set an appointment with them to ask to look at the place.. always have a look at the place before placing any booking...
Shanna: no wor, I juz spoke to the coordinator, she told mi she can only close 1 eye if its 55 pax including kids… haiz... need to go see see the place first…
Jean: thanks thanks… yesh, mi also dun like traditional hotel style leh… feel so near yet so far from the guest… both our parents are okie w buffet style, hopefully, the elderly dun mind also.
Aiyo, u dunnoe the guest lo… $60-80 is good enough liao leh… I heard frm my frens tat some give $50 hong bao for wedding banquet leh… or $100 for the whole family leh, u neva know.. also depends on the guest u invite.

yah... i totally agree w u that some guests are really stingy.. i've even heard of those that give empty angbaos... *shake head* what has the world come to... haahaa... i guess at the end of the day, it's how well u know that person an who you invite.. i guess those that give such small angbaos are those relatives or friends of parents that have totally no idea who u are.. can't blame them also...
Mrs ho: cool~actually thought of holding at oneochester, very cosy place rite and heard good comments bout the food there leh… tat’s b4 I find the villa, so now decided to hold in the villa…hehe
Jean: ic ic… u mean the pooside? How u feel arh? The coordinator recommend poolside if I wan 70-80pax, like tat I can get frm any poolside in town liao wat… notin special to mi…
Yes, will arrange a mit up w them and have a look at the place. have wait till my bf is free…
Shanna:
how come all of u can try the food sia… arggggg….. I wanna try the food there also…bt not allowed… where u holding ur wedding arh???

suesue: yup have checked with them..they can put up to 50++ tables.. so shld be ok..coz i like their interior deco.. althu some tables may be blocked by the pillars, i dont care! whahahaa
kiko: their pool ok la... just very open loh.. then u cannot stop people from going to the pool coz it's not a private area unless they willing to close the area. my htb n i did consider holding our ROM there if we wanted to do it separately. not a bad environment... different pools have different feel to it.. so u gotta go take a look w your hubby and see if it's the right feel for your celebration..
kiko: if it's a private caterer, it sound more reasonable if cant taste the food... but if it's part of the villa, i dun see why cant taste the food..... what is the food yuck?? then you will be paying for bad thing liao lor... my view lah... if the food is nice, why are they "afraid" of you tasting it? it can be a small portion with you n your htb tasting only... try one mouth on each dish also better off wor...

Kiko: not really depending on how u compare.. a table on average for hotel is about 1k++ per table which is about 100++ per pax, buffet is about 70-80 per pax.. restuarant is about 500++ per table so definitely less than 70 per pax...
why buffet more ex than restuarant? coz they gotta add in the costs of the equipment and stuff.. and if the kitchen is not there then travelling fee is also considered in their costs..

shanna: yup, buffet lo... the coordinator told mi cannot have food tasting leh. its their internal caterer wor...
mrs ho: YA LO!!!! y is tat possible leh? all along thought buffet is cheap leh, mayb not more than wat i have to fork out for banquet, bt when they send mi the quotation, im like... WTH MAN!!! lol..

shanna: i nvr set any budget yet until i went to onerochester and the planner give me a quote of $142 nett initially! i faint when i saw the quotation! i was expecting around $100 nett leh... haahaaa.. then after sitting down and discuss with my htb, he knows i like the place lot, so we just go ahead with it even thou it's over our so-called per head budget, in later part my htb managed to bargain the cost per head down to $130 nett... we just think it in another way that if we do hotel banquet, we might need more than 50 tables too, cos my family tree very wide.. if we do at onerochester at 200 guests, in this way we do cut down some costs liao... (we save on inviting 300 guests more) at least at this "wu lu" place, my relatives would rather i dun call on them... anyway i still hold a buffet lunch at my house in the afternoon, most of them will attend the afternoon... so night time is mainly friends and colleagues, with some real close relatives lah...
Jean: like wat mrs ho mention, our buffet is more than a 5* banquet leh... mine cost bout $130 per pax and not including drinks...
Shanna: we only intend to fork out 20k (hopefully lesser) for our wedding... since its small and simple
as for reno, mmm, i still dunnoe, bt not a big issue for mi atm...
