thanks Cheerojess! that was really helpful info! how many gowns did you take in total then? and did u take outdoor shoot with them? or just indoor?
can also share who was your photographer?
did u also rent your car with them? the only part my SO didnt really like about the idea is that we have to go in to tie the car, which he's afraid by the time come back to sg, the flowers would have gone thru alot haha..
my photographer name ahhh. I can't remember his name. ): but they will show u all their photographer works and you can select the ones you like the feel most den they will tell u who the photographer is. During my indoor shoot my photographer let me take a look at some photos he took before the edit and the feel was really woah! The photographer I took was not the same as my gf who took for them before as that photographer gotten some award in 2013 and his price jets up v high ); so we took the one who got 3rd instead or 1st with a more reasonable pricing! ^^
No problem!!!
In total I had 4 indoor gowns, 2 outdoor gowns and 3 actual day gowns.
I didn't rent my car from them. I actually didn't ask about their car package as I also didn't wan a JB car to be driven into sg as k bridal car. LOL. The flowers they will provide but yup we have to go in the day before to tie them. But I think it will be ok coz the flowers are quite hardy. Can withstand wind blow rain n sun. But they also told us, if we wan we can bring the flowers back to sg n tie ourself. They will teach us how to do it. So its an open choice.
You can consider The Gallery, Grand Hyatt

Cool! My friend booked there too.. i din list it afterall coz the minimum was quite high
) and Concorde has new rates for 2015. I did look at the new 2015 package and the things provided are the same, only the rates are different.Haha ya. Actually we booked amara at 25 tables.. actually i tink a bit too much too hahahaha
appreciate any feedback that you all night have Wa 2015 brides and grooms congrats! Thot i just butt in abit cos my wedding venue was not mentioned. OCC grand ball room. I would say if you have many guests like 40 tables or more, want a long march in, food's gd too, easy parking for guests, the best part is the high ceiling, you should check it out. They have smaller ballrooms too. Went one this year, cosier setting. i love that the tables are not crammed close together eventhough it is a smaller room, but march in entrance wont be as grand. I went to a few weddings where the tables are very crammed together. Personally dun like to feel very restricted while eating. http://www2.orchidclub.com/moby/cms/meetingevents/grand_ballroom.html.
For PG i recommend TOP Photography www.topphotography.com.sg, MUA Yukiko http://yukikolim.com/
BS mine was primtemps , they provided good service, and was reasonably priced. But the travel to JB did get to me.
Hmm what else, oh if you need a mei ren, I recommend Madam Goh. https://www.facebook.com/mdmgoh
Hope this is helpful
Yup, same thing for us... And they weren't at all pushy in trying to sell us their services... They're also really quick to process all the photos and send them to us (some companies only send you a certain number of photos but iSnap returns every single photo to their customers). Before our pre-wedding photoshoot, we were already assured by iSnap that they can meet our deadlines - because of our crazy work schedules, one of us (either me or my hubby) was always overseas so we could only have our shoot on 1st July when our AD was 30th August. Thank God for iSnap's efficient services, we managed to get our photos fast enough to choose which photos to include in our real album, design the album layout and send it off for printing - for those who are curious, we did it online via Artisan State - their albums are fully flush mounted (unlike most photobook companies' albums) and their price is an absolute bargain for the high quality you're paying for. They ship really fast too - we initially opted for express delivery (scared if there's any delay, there won't be any album during AD haha!) which should take about a week but the album arrived in 2-3 days instead!! Could have easily opted for normal delivery if we knew just how fast they were haha...
I'm.looking for ad photographer and videographer... just wondering is it a must to have it? Some of my friends told me that they won't see the photos after the wedding ....
And also, typically how much are the charges? I'm having a wedding lunch
So, to answer your question, no, it's not a must to have a PG/VG at your wedding. That said, having one (or more) will help you and your family/friends cherish the memories of your big day when you all review again in the future the different photos and videos that were shot.. Those friends who told you that they won't see the photos after their wedding - that is a choice that they have made for themselves. But what is the choice that you will make? Only you yourself will know best... Charges vary depending on which company or package or number of hours etc - a simple PG/VG session can stretch from anything between $800 each to $3000 each (so if you're going to have both PG and VG, just double the amount).. If you have any family or friends who are relatively good at photo-taking or video-taking, you can also consider getting them to help if you want to save on cost (you can always give them an ang pow as a token of appreciation) and know that they won't mind helping (and getting tired running after you the entire day)..
I used Beautiful In White for my 1st march-in during my banquet.. At first we did the same - walked quite slow but coz our aisle is quite long, we ended up getting a friendly prompt by the banquet manager to walk a lil faster haha.. The song continued to play when we reached the stage and cut the cake and only ended after we got off the stage and got seated. We didn't soften the volume at any point since there wasn't any need to - very minimal emceeing throughout the time the song was playing.. If you want an idea how this may look like, you can view my banquet highlights video at our YouTube channel (link in my signature below) - they shorten the song a bit at some places for video editing purpose but you should get a rough idea.. Hope this helps!
Hi hi!! It's not a duh question so don't worry..
hello!! im not doing gatecrashing too...
so for 2nd march in, my emcees will just mention like "hope everyone is enjoying so far.. on behalf of the couple, wanna thank all for their attendance etc..." and then followed by "lets all rise to welcome the couple once again!"
