Not sure what I am looking for .. Maybe some greens like hort park .. Or some cafés.. Need to go recee and also trying to research more locations so I can plan the route and save time.. Now I am thinking if I should just change all to outdoor shoot ... But my package was 2 indoor gown n 2 outdoor gown .. Erm..

Oh this will be challenging cos usually the outdoor range and indoor range is different. and Bridal studios won't let you use indoor gowns for outdoor shots.

you can go for outdoor "indoor" shoot like to blisshouse cafe, fullhouse restuarant, MBS ...

if just fully indoor shoots, i think the BS must have alots of background/scene and props to make the photo look nice. Like those Korea photoshoot. Else with plain color background there will maybe missing abit of fun. But still able to create romantic feel.

So its just depend what style you want / can accept.

which project? mine's compassvale mast
Hi there!

My BTO is also Compassvale Mast too! Can see the blocks gradually coming up! Sure hope can move in earlier!
Btw, I'm a Nov 2015 bride-to-be. Have booked my solemnization and lunch banquet at Amara Sanctuary Sentosa and signed up with Z-wedding/ CL photography for bridal package. Left AD photographer and still thinking if I should hire a videographer. Have thoughts of doing a pre-wedding video too cos think it'll be fun and memorable but my fiancé is not keen,

Anyone considering to do per-wedding video?

I also dont know what style.. was thinking to go cute/ retro since once in a lifetime .. but he always think i like to make him look silly hahahaha... For those location, do we need to rent that place for photoshoot? I was also thinking of supermarket etc since we like to do grocery shopping but wonder how to go about doing at those places..

Hi Babe, for restaurants/cafes, call prior to going down and ask them about it. Some require a minimum spending and some requires a small fee which will be offset from future F&B visits etc. For Supermarkets/ shopping malls, it is not necessary, you can just go ahead.

what can we do if there is double booking for banquet?
original venue "compensated" by booking another venue in the vicinity :/

Goodness, never heard before... Which hotel is this?


how was his case settled?
not sure whether it's convenient to reveal the name of the venue. maybe wait for my friend to reveal it here herself soon.
it's one of the worst things that can happened to a weding couple imo :( less than 3 months to AD..

Ask for compensation, if the contract was signed, they have every right to ask for compensation for the situation.

the thread has been removed already.. but i found another similar case at singaporebrides as well http://singaporebrides.com/weddingf...led-booked-need-advise-urgently-please.17362/

it's really very unfortunate :( considering how venue is one of the hardest thing to secure..

what kind of compensation can they get? currently, they are offered a substitute hotel venue, and difference in pricing will be compensated.

CASE wouldn't be able to do much right? considering that CASE gives the original venue 2 weeks for reply each time. by the time an agreement is reached through CASE, the AD alr over :(

thanks that's a helpful thread. i guess my friend was already offered proper "compensation".. just that it's not a nice feeling to have the banquet venue changed so close to the AD. even though the alternative/new hotel package may be pricier, it is not her first choice of venue regardless. really quite a trauma to her. so i was wondering if there can be other forms of compensation still.

Fretting issue.. Just realized another bride is using same MUA for her AD while mine is PS on the same day... How possible for MUA to be back for my PS at 9am? Chatted with the other bride that she may only ask MUA to reach her place at 8am. Also she need MUA to reach her hotel at 5pm for her night makeup and stay till 2nd march in... This means I am also unable to request MUA along to outdoor shoot and she will also be very rushing and tired .. Afraid that she will be under perform.. Had already msg my coordinator as she is oversea now, telling her I want to bring the MUA out but didn't tell her I knew someone is using her on the same day .. The other bride also contacted her coordinator regarding this and her coordinator her to tell me to wait until my coordinator is back!

I didn't want to screw her AD... But I also don't wished mine to be screwed !!

What will you do for such case?? Haiz sian !

Erm I still want her as she is the most famous MUA in the bs.. The most reschedule but the feeling is not good ...

(2014 bride kaypo-ing here) Reschedule sounds like a good idea for both u and the other bride if ur schedule is flexible.. And pls try to make them ensure there's no such issue for your AD!!

My mua has 3 AD brides on the same day! Three!! THREEEE!! It sounds like a horror story.. *hyperventilates* the mua and the bs keep telling me it will be ok.. I'm quite reluctant to change mua.. But.. Sigh.. Still thinking abt whether to change and if yes, to another one from the bs or a freelance one..

Relax relax!! Don't stress yourself out! Your house is coming way before your AD? Or you going to ROM first?

Yes! I have the same experience for Labella!!!! Annoyed & left the shop.. went to Digio too as they were so friendly! I love their service! :)

Yes my PCD will be end Aug (as per HDB website).. which i was quite skeptical about it :D I had my ROM done last Jul.. haha at least one thing cleared. .i thought by doing that i will be less stress but actually not much difference at all since everything will still happen around the same time
