Yeah... I'm having wedding luncheon probably that's why mine is only deluxe room...Hi!
Deluxe suite is the room that comes with a small living room right? My package is inclusive of Bridal suite already. =X I am not sure if it is the deluxe suite you referring to.

So all BTB, any idea what should be shown/played before 2nd march in if we do not have any gatecrash video?
Maybe do a duet? I had a friend who didn't even have a 2nd March in for their lunch. They just mingled. But the groom sang to the bride.

Customary in the sense like tea ceremony etc right? Usually yes, in the morning, starting with gate crash, then tea ceremony, then head for short photo shoot, then head to hotel to prepare for dinner banquet.
Oh that could be one reason.
Post up some photos after your wedding ya.
Can't wait to see!My fiance was also saying he will sing. Hmmm... but like so paiseh?

Hi 2016 BTB's
I'm just curious if u pay deposit upon confirmation on your venue, the balance amount can be settle after your actual dinner or after u check out of the hotel. Anyone know the policy at Pan Pacific Orchard. Is it necessary to pay full amount before the actual day.
Anyone can share their experience

It should be the next day before you check out if you are using the "cash" to pay off.
As for mine(RWS hotel Jurong), they told us it will be during the checkout if we are paying by cash. If by cheque or credit card, it will be after dinner.
Thanks thanks! Share yours too!! I have two sides wedding banquet, one in singapore, one in Malaysia so will be so much headache for me! HahahaOh that could be one reason.

Mine will be quite long away. If I am not wrong, yours is February 2016 right?
Mine is way back on Sept 2016!
haha.hi! It's dependent on the hotel's policy.
I know of some hotels which require you to settle full blance payment immediately after the banquet - even if youre drunk you also must settle before you retire for the night.
Another hotel allows you to clear the balance upon check out the next morning.
But tbh, i've never heard of hotels which require you to settle payment before the actual dinner banquet...

There are some who require a deposit.. followed by 30% a few months before wedding.. and another 30% 1 month before wedding.. and the balance on the actual day or day after..
It varies for different hotels.
Hi, for Europe I would think finding a photographer is better. to be honest, I have not come across a lot of BS that offer Europe photoshoot, the most are in Asia like Korea or Hong Kong or Australia.
Most of the Europe photoshoot that I see are ala carte. To save cost, you can consider a local photographer in the place you are going.
I am also doing my photoshoot in Europe this August!
Haha I believe it got to depends that hotel tied up with which bank?
I think the best card is Standard Chartered Manhattan Card, it provides 3% rebate up to max of $200 for every quarter. So you have to discuss with your hotel to let you make payment of $6667 every quarter. Most places can do this as they are used to such payment method
If your banquet is very expensive, you can also use it with the American Express True Cashback Card, you get 5% cashback in first 3 months. So you can use that to pay your first deposit.

The current headache is the JP.AD photographer is from my bridal studio. Haven't decided on my Videographer yet.
My wedding will be a lunch affair held at Furama City Centre located at Chinatown.

Thanks babe!
Yup! Am a February BrideMine will be quite long away. If I am not wrong, yours is February 2016 right?
Mine is way back on Sept 2016!
)You getting a BS or photographer? I still looking around too many option. Confuse ...
Im getting a photographer from Singapore. It will be cheaper if you hire a local photographer at ur destination, haha but I like the work of my photographer too much so decided to just go with him though it'll be more expensive.
where in Europe are you thinking of going and when? As I mention, I am not aware of a BS that does photoshoot in Europe. There may be, but rare. So my best bet is to find a photog.
which part of Europe do you intend to have your pre wedding photoshoot at? my fiancee and i are also considering an overseas pre wedding photoshoot but she's asking me to do all the research -.-
I'm doing it at Cinque Terre in Italy, and Munich.
If you want to do shoot in Europe, have to hurry le cos it'll be too cold to shoot from Nov to Mar... unless you want snow in your photos! haha

Hi yeah lor your're right.bec the place we wants required 40%-40%-20% payment mode, so i don't know if it's really die die must FOLLOW.
I would recommend the Keukenhof gardens in holland if u r able to catch the tulip seasons, normally in apr may period depending on the weather. Pictures will look v nice with the colorful blooms. And not that many people wld have taken their pre wed pics there too i guess cos i haven come across any. U can go take pics of the windmills as backdrop too.

You can check with them whether is it negotiable.. but I don't think it's possible. They will try to work out a plan with you.. but you will still be paying 80% of your wedding before the wedding day which is quite a lot of money.. One of my criteria when choosing hotel is the payment terms as I want to ensure that I am able to make payment at the end of the day..

Yes.. the never ending list....
AD photographer is from my bridal studio. Haven't decided on my Videographer yet.
My wedding will be a lunch affair held at Furama City Centre located at Chinatown.
my BS doesn't provide AD photographer so i'm scouting around for one. my wedding will be lunch affair as well, at rendezvous
Finally got a soft booking with a JP. Have to re confirm with him again in Oct. But one headache down..phew.my BS doesn't provide AD photographer so i'm scouting around for one. my wedding will be lunch affair as well, at rendezvous
U can check with your BS for the AD photographer. Ours was not included but the BS said if we wanted, he can recommend. Lazy us to go do further research, so we just took loh (without checking the works of the photographer..but i guess they also won't anyhow recommend if they want to preserve their reputation..heehee).
Rendezvous looks nice. I didnt shortlist them though cos the max is 25 tables... a bit tight for us. We decided to choose one that can accommodate more just in case.. haa.
By the way, when is your AD? Lunch affairs means everything in morning have to be chope chope... and I am squeezing rom in before banquet..

Congrats on getting your JP!! Indeed is one big thing off the checklist. My HTB and I getting officiated by a church pastor, so that should be taken care of by the church..Finally got a soft booking with a JP. Have to re confirm with him again in Oct. But one headache down..phew.

yes indeed 24 tables is tight for us... but we liked the ambience of the ballroom so decided we can in some way cut our guestlist to fit the 24 tables max.
now headache about the wedding video / montage!

Yes you're absolutely correct. It's really a lot of money involved if we need to pay 80%. My mum inlaw and sis in law told us that her one last time can settle after the wedding dinner. So i'm confused bec i don't really have idea bec i'm a foreigner so i only got some info from what i read here at the forum
Oh dear.I was supposed to attend one with my HTB this weekend, but he got last minute work to do, we need to forgo.

Are there any make up sessiosn where you and your htb can attend?Btw are you able to by any chance transfer the session to anyone? I'm quite keen to attend!
