Hi all btb, may I know if it's too early to search for banquet if I'm planning for my AD between dec 2015 to mar 2016? My htb thinks I'm v kiasu thou
Hi mandylove,
When we did our research last two months, we were told that Dec 2015 was taken up pretty fast by couples. We got this info from a couple of hotels that we visited, thus if you are looking at Dec 2015 and would really like to secure your date with them, it is best to book now!
Hi mandylove,
I agreed that it better to do it early.. Some hotels may not have the rate for end 2015 but most of it already has it.. It's better to book early as the rate will be cheaper as it may rise in few months time.. Some hotels sales told customer bout the rising of the tax for liquor might affect their perks and rate also..

Don't worry.. Still not too late.. I booked mine for nov 2015 last weekend at m hotel wedding show also~ if urs is 2016, the rate might nt be out yet but dec 2015 most hotel out le.. Orchard hotel that time inform us have to wait for their April wedding show~
Wedding show perks will be more..
U r looking at lunch or dinner?
Happen to chance upon your post. Yes, PR at Beach Road has high ceiling and is pillar-less. nice ballroom.PR offers waiver of corkage. They do have free flow of beer but I don't think guests nowadays fancy beer that much.
Does PR @ Beach Road has high ceiling and is pilliarless?
No problem Ya, it is better to book during wedding show. More perks and if you meet the right sales, you can negotiate for extra stuffOh dear! Thanks for the info!
Hi huifen~
High five~ I will be doing through taobao~ Shipping to an sea forwarder and ship to sg~
an advice for u if u buying from taobao~ try to get more stuff from same seller and remember to chat with them first to confirm there is stocks and bargain with them for free shipping as mostly their shipping is ex~
Oh like that can meh? Okie okie will try the next round
Ok~ normally to play safe chat with them to confirm there is stocks.. And then if u buying few items.. Ask for cheaper shipment or free shipment~ my china friends teach me~
Yaya! Thanks for the info! I also "shopping" from taobao for the timebeing, and wondering whether to use Sg agent (e.g. like 65daigou) or just directly ask the China seller to ship over.
Ladies, please remember to bargain for discount or cheaper shipments when buying from taobao!
Hi Felix~
I look for forwarder in taobao and shipped all to the forwarder and then they will pack all and shipped to sg~
what kind of wedding stuff are worth buying online? Thanks for sharing..
I usually type in Chinese. You may ask if they can read English. Discouns is very subjective, depending how "desperate" the seller is to close the deal.Hi, how much discount do you get usually when bargaining with taobao? Do they speak English?
Felix,
I will check with my friend and let u know again~ cause that time I go by air and after that by sea is through my this friend as she accumulate few friends orders and send to sg together.. Cause she usually will accumulate over 10kg and is cheaper
Hehe this is the one she use~Ok cool! Thanks Cynthia!
Hehe this is the one she use~

Hi, I am may 2015 btb. Have booked hotel and also bridal but now headache looking for pg & vg.
Anybody have any good recommendation?
how can i request to be added to BTB 2015 FB group? I have just started to search for PG, VG for AD, have already done my pre-wed shots.
Me too!
Im in May 2015 & also at the same stage as you looking for PG & VG.!!!
Im on the 30th, what about you?
What's your budget for PG & VG , so it much easier to reco ..
Try look at the works within your budget and see if you like the feel anot.
I had sent quite a number of request and some are to expensive even though i like their style likewise some are cheaper but i dont like it (just my personally preference)
omg! my wedding date is also on the 30th of May.
I think my budget is around $3k+ for both.
I think is quite tough looking for PG & VG because there are too many out there.
Very detail research need to be done.
we are on the same date! haha.... where is your banquet ?
To me , I think its difficult to research... too many out there!
Most importantly the works must be the style i like.
I love Wedding Paparazzi videography but it was $3200 just for video! Will be meeting them coming Monday for discussion, although it was out of my budget.
Keep thinking if I should double my budget for PG & VG.
For 3K+ can get alots of not bad PG & VG style already! Which are the PG & VG you looking at now?
You may want to try to get quotes from The Pictureque Love, Love Meet Lens, WMA Production, Mosaic Studio, I gotten their quotes and fall within your budget.
Their work are not bad too.
how can i request to be added to BTB 2015 FB group? I have just started to search for PG, VG for AD, have already done my pre-wed shots.
haha, yes so coincident. I have booked York Hotel, what about you?
Yes there are too many out there to choose from and I am really afraid to make the wrong choice. haha.
$3200 is really very expensive but if you really like it and cannot find others that suit the style you want then I feel can invest. Once in a lifetime!
Maybe you can double your budget on PG & VG and save on other stuffs.
Currently I only gotten the quotes from V-In production and 50nfifity Productions.
Thank you so much for the lists, I shall go check them out. You have already did a lot of research.
I also thought of getting photo booth and candy bar during the cocktail time.
haha, yes so coincident. I have booked York Hotel, what about you?
.
by the way, My banquet is at Bukit Batok Hilltop
Yup!! live @ bukit batok lor heheheoh you are also staying in the west? haha.
