I think you can consult a geomancer for the dates now. I believe they are able to calculate the good wedding dates for you for few years in advance as my friend has 3 years' of suitable wedding dates. The best is to source for wedding venue one year if not earlier, as some venues are extremely popular, just that some hotels may not have the 2016 banquet prices yet :)

oh i read about the 3 years one somewhere in the forum. yep hopefully htb will understand that we need to book the venue more than a year in advance. Thanks @tequila07!

You are welcome! Most importantly I feel is to get the dates, decide on a few that you like then enquire based on your budget and the venues you like. The increase in banquet prices per table from 2015 to 2016 maybe ard 5% or so? Singaporeans are typically very kiasu :p

I guess you need to see what kind of wedding you want and the number of tables you intend to have also.. because you can like a venue and not have the tables you need..
Another thing to consider is also your budget...

Hi, we got our wedding band from Ling Jewellery, very nice! by appointment only, located at 100AM, they will be more than happy to serve you as they got more time to do. You can also self design your own wedding band too and the sales people is not very pushy kind too....give it a try! :)

That's really early for collection of wedding bands. But like you said.. better early than late.. haha.

Anyway, for BS, it really depends what you want and your budget. There must be dresses in the studio that you like first or else no point signing a package where you don't like any dresses or they don't suit you. (Happened to my friend just because the package is cheap.)

And at the end of the day after you take the photos.. There are those additional photos where they will make you pay a lot for it. So need to buffer all these in your budget..

I think it wouldn't be too late. Just whether the currency becomes stronger or weaker. Cos the RM is quite weak against our dollar now I think.. but got to take into consideration inflation as everyone says.. haha.

Who are you getting your dates from? I'm sure it's excited. I'm excited too but taking a break now since I got BS and venue settled.. most probably start the engine next year to look for photography, videography and wedding bands.

Haha.. don't think we can afford to get the photographer and videographer from the BS.. unless they are having promo. We are keeping options from online feedback.

I have heard of those BS that provide photographer and videographer but the standard not there.. and resulted in complains here and there.. but then again.. It all boils down to budget.

yup yup...AD...meaning we have to outsource the photographer n videographer?

The package doesn't come with photographer and videographer. But you can ask them for the pricing and let you know the total cost to add in..

I'm not too sure how other BS work as from my understanding of my friend, her AD photographer is sourced from the BS, who acts as a middleman between the couple and the photographer company. I'm not too sure why the BS didn't offer their own photographer or my friend didn't want the photographer from the BS, which resulted in them finding another photographer.

You can go and source external and then compare price. But of course you must like the way the photos that are taken but the external photographers.. you can go and google and quite a few well - known ones come out.. or you can buy singapore brides magazine and they have recommendation though it's mostly the same photographers. :)

Yeah we did it earlier cos our house will be ready by next year. In view of the renovation/furnishing costs and expenses for wedding preparation, we thought It's best not to squeeze too many financial commitments at a go; )
As for my pre-wedding photoshoot, we did it w Joe Teng from Acapella Photography. Expensive Yes But I think It's worth every single cent cos my package includes photographer, make-up artiste, their airfares and accomodations and 2 days of photoshoot. It also includes 40 edited pictures w premium flushmount album from Japan. We had to hunt for our own gowns/suits and bring them w us to Europe. Haha. Overall, it was a fun experience. It beats those overrated and overpriced packages from those bridal studios in JB. What alot of ppl dunno is that w the money spent for the bridal studios in JB, couples can bring a photographer and makeup artiste to Bali for their photoshoot. With extensive research, I'm sure can find a right package. As for me, I have not seen my photos yet. But saw a few edited ones Which my photographer sent me as 'sneaks'. Really 101% satisfied. Haha! :)

Have u done ur pre wedding photoshoot yet? When is ur AD?
