Will check Groupon for such services. It's my big day, but in my opinion, the ang pao frm guests will not cover this, and although it's nice, it's not necessary. So if Groupon has it near to my wedding date, I will get it. If not, I'll do without it. Added costs means lesser for me to spend on honeymoon. And our house. So..yupz.

I have bad experience with groupon photobooth. Kena thrown lots of T&C after we paid. End up waste close to $300 without the chance to use it (intend to use it for b'day). Scared liao. My fiancé nvr want to get from groupon for such deals, maybe coz he's the one liaising & their replies piss him off.

Can consider getting it from Loong Fatt Tau Sar Piah at Balestier Road. It's v nice & not ex (60 cents for 1). There's always a queue at the shop, at least an hour queue to get it. But for wedding purpose (big orders), can call them to reserve it.

I was quoted min $800 for 2hrs package, 300 printouts. However, if I were to sign at Bows, they would throw in unlimited printing (which would cost additional $200)
they intro-ed their best package, which was at 1400 i think, for 4hrs, green background and unlimited printing. For that kind of money, I would rather go spend on my house.

Hi5! I dun have table to table pictures too as my setting doesn't allow for it.
Another way is instant print with roaming PG.

Ur fiancé will be glad that u put the house over the wedding stuff.

Starting a new family for young couples isn't easy with house installment, reno & wedding stuff to pay.

You're referring to hello forever or oneeyeclick's Photobooth? Cause the rates as well as the green background thingy sounds like oneeyeclick..

Been dreaming about my wedding since I was 18..after so many failed r/s, finally found someone to settle down with me. must announce to the whole wide world that i'm FINALLY getting married!! yay!!!

I'm also going 2 this weekend. Which 2 are you going?

Any review on peach garden at Mirama?

I am finding a venue which allows 16-18 tables for lunchie. Budget cap at 100 per pax after tax.

I went to Peach Garden at Miramar last week for viewing. Met with wedding planner Robbie (aka the Sales Executive), he is a very friendly person. My HTB and I quite like the restaurant itself, but the downside is, the location of the hotel, as well as the condition of the hotel looks old from exterior and the lobby area..

 

[feliz]

For me, most importantly is free flow of beers and wine. i'll only consider hotels that offers that. hahaha.
too many alcoholic friends and relatives.
I've heard that some couple have to pay 20k extra just for alcohol!

Peach Garden offers free flow beer and wine! Traders offers free flow beer + 2 bottles of wine per table..
I guess this one you can negotiate with the hotel, to get more perks!

Most people use Standard Chartered Manhatten card to pay off their banquet, it used to be 200 rebate off every 3k or something but I think they have adjusted it. Nevertheless it is stlll the most widely used card. But you gotta pay about 3k every quarter to have maximum rebates.

Hi all! I am also in the midst of searching for good credit card rebates to pay off my banquet next year!
I've heard of the Manhattan and OCBC 365...

 

[hippo_woody]

I've heard of the Manhattan and OCBC 365...

1) Manhattan 3% up to $6666 in one quarter.
2) CIMB Visa Infinite Card & CIMB WORLD MasterCard - 1% cash rebate on all purchases in Singapore (usual cc offers only 0.5%) - no cap
3) ANZ Platinum Card - Receive up to S$1,200 per year with 5% cash rebates (https://sg.anz.com/ANZPrivileges/signup-benefit.html) - can use if u booking online (ie. via expedia, agoda, etc) for honeymoon, if u are buying from Amazon frequently (its entitled for 5% cash rebate as well)

 

[hippo_woody]

I'm asking my fiance to apply all these credit cards for cash rebate. But he lazy to keep track of so many cc spending. He wanna use just the Manhattan for ALL the wedding expenses.
Unfortunately I can't apply new cards at the moment, else I would have applied these and save a bit more.

both the bf and myself are using manhanttan card to pay for the wedding expenses.. maybe I should apply anz

Be sure to check the fine print! There are tiers to how much % cash back you get, and it's capped at $200 per quarter.

 

[hippo_woody]

Manhatten: gonna use $3000 above (up to $6.6k) for the month to enjoy a cashback tier of 3% (maximum cashback u can receive is $200 per quarter). If u use less than $1k, then it isnt worth it as cashback is only 0.5% (same as most cc cards with cashback). http://www.wowmanhattan.com.sg/pdf/Y15902_278248_SCB_MAN_World_IID.pdf

CIMB Visa Infinite Card & CIMB WORLD MasterCard: There is no cap & its 1% cash rebate on all purchases in Singapore plus there isn't any annual membership fees. The only downside is that u need to have an annual income of at least $120000 to apply for this card.

ANZ Platinum Card: Useful if u frequently shop at their participating online merchants (ie. Amazon, Sistic, Deal, ASOS, Expedia, Qoo10, Net-a-porter, Reebonz, Groupon, Asiatravel, etc). To be eligible for the 5% Cash rebate ("Rebate"), Cardmembers will need to charge a minimum of S$600 in eligible retail transactions to their ANZ Platinum Card per month for all 3 months in a calendar quarter ("Quarter"). I'm gonna ask the man apply for this coz we are frequent Amazon shoppers, every week at least 2 parcels from Amazon. =)

 

[lerlaine]

There is also UOB One Card that gives 3.33% cashback, but you have to spend a min of $300 (there needs to be at least 3 transaction monthly) for 3 consecutive months to get 3.33%.

Manhattan only $200/quarter. where got give $6666 de. LoL. You have to spend $6666 to get $200 though.

Anyway I have the same experience with those who went to BOWS,

I've pre-registered for the event and really was there just to get a feel of the vendors and things which we may have left out... (In fact, I've already settled, AD/PW photography, bridal studio, Videography, banquet etc, ROM, JP).

Yes the way they "attacked" was awful. And it didn't help when two of the consultants who approached us (after knowing we've settled everything), said, "Oh, then why did you all come here then?" in Mandarin. Albeit in a joking tone but still. WTH.

you should shoot them back and say because we have nothing better to do but to come here and see how you guys "attack" innocent couples...

Hi ,

I just signed up with yvonne creative bridal 2 days ago from the BOWS . After signing i went online to check their reviews. It was pretty bad . So im quite worried.

Wondering if the BTB here have any recent reviews ? =(

Hi Jennifer, I have 3 friends who signed up for Yvonne. They all have mixed reviews.

I was personally with 1 of them thru-out her choosing of gowns and pre-wed shoot. The pg attitude was terrible! He kept hinting to my friend she was fat and the photos not nice cos of her. She hated the experience. The photos turned out so cheapo looking that anyone with basic photoshop knowledge can do better.

3 years after, another 2 friends signed up with them but they said they quite like their quality. Their works have improved, that's for sure. Thankfully, that rude pg quit so I guess quality is better now.

Hi ladies I need ur advice..

If I don't want wedding favours , guest book and angbao boxes provided by hotel, wad other things can I barter for?

Think they can't exchange for too much, probably can try asking for more complimentary carpark and helper's room free night stay.

I was looking for ROM venues and AD PG & VG at Bows. My other stuff more or less settled. But I guess I'm quite lucky cos I didn't really meet pushy sales people. I merely told them "I've signed already" then they just say thanks and changed target.

Btw, anyone heard of Pierre Ooi Photography? Can share your experiences?
I've signed with them for ROM PG, AD PG and AD photobooth instant prints. Fiance and I were drawn to their style of photography. Plus, the boss Pierre was very friendly and flexible with his rates. But just a bit paranoid that they might deliver a different attitude afterwards...

Same here. No VG coz no gatecrash, no morning segment (ie. fetching bride, etc). Haven decide on lunch or dinner yet, depending on which venue we choose. But we are setting aside more funds on a good PG & instant print (ie. photobooth).
