oh.. can I ask where is your bto? who knows we might be neighbours! haha :) Yes, I am also looking at June 2017 for my AD! :DD
 
HAHA. Such a coincidence! Really didn't expect to meet future neighbors here. :P I will be having a small intimate wedding as we do not really have many relatives. Probably looking at garden wedding at approx. 100 - 120pax only. :)
 
Awll thats so nice ;) I wanted a cosy wedding as do not want to invite much friends too but parents wanted it big and grand so ya ours looking at 300+ tables :/ do you have any venue in mind ? Btw, ur flat complete first batch / quarter 2018 too ?
 
wow.. do u mean 30 or 300 tables?? 300 is ALOT and super grand. :D Shortlisted a few like Sheraton, mandarin orchard, mandarin oriental, carlton, raffles and fullerton hotel as these are the few hotels with small ballroom. However, I do not really fancy their ballrooms as they tend to have low ceilings. :( Hence, now exploring the options of perhaps garden wedding theme like Halia at botanic gardens which is very pretty IMO. :) How abt u?

Yes, mine going to be completed during the first batch!
 
Oops its 30tables @@ haha ! Fullerton small ball room is pretty nice too :) and yea botanic garden and hort park there's this rest/ cafe also not bad ? I rmb I saw some wedd which is pretty nice let me think then share with you haha :)

Yea, mine first batch to finish :) we shld be quite near eavh other haha

Tingz u might wanna consider swissotel at merchant court. It's a perf ballroom with no pillar. Reno will be ready by Oct 16, u will get a new ballroom in 17 plus it's the only ballroom so it's exclusive. I have to drop them cos they can't lower the tables for a sat dinner :( super saddd

I'm 2017 bride too!

I have been asking some hotels for 2017 price and since is not yet out, they are charging extra $100++ per table in additional to 2016 price.

Is this normal? Still a go ahead kind of booking?

Eh.. usually I will express interest and ask the coordinator to contact me once the slots are open. Depending on hotels de. Some willing to extend the 2016 rates for us

Not sure if its normal but thats how Conrad charged me also. But i compared their 2015 and 2016 rates, the price also increased by $100. And i think our priority was really to secure the ballroom so we didnt want to wait. Some coordinators will forget to tell you when they release slots for 2017 and means you will have to keep checking with them which is quite a trouble. And I feel that the 2017 rates should have already been more or less finalized at the backend by now.

Later this evening I will be meeting up with Conrad again thou :/ from 2016 rate (valid till 1st quarter 2017) , price per table $$1588++ .... Rest of 2017 per table $1638++ ....left with the nego on the perks now

oh.. i will check out swissotel then. thanks! I went to the ion penthouse showcase before as well. Only concern is that its not linked to a hotel which is not convenient for me as I will be doing my gatecrashing in the hotel itself as well. :)

Hi, I'm a May 2017 bride!
Was enquiring the banquet price for 2017 and some hotels quoted me additional $100++ per table on top of 2016 price o_O Just wondering is this the normal practice?

Hey Jerniice!

Congrats on your pending nuptials! To answer to your question, it's normal since their 2017 rates are not out yet. But there are some hotels who might just extend their 2016 rates to you (usually if your wedding is during the first 3 months of the year). If you really like the venue, go for it or do your research and see how much increase they had as compared to the previous year :) hope this helps you!

I'm a January 2017 btb and I am waiting for my venues to be up for booking before I head down to take a look! Anxious though, haha!

Hi nadhirahk, thanks for your reply! Mine is on the 5th month of the year, not sure if I'm able to nego and get their 2016 rates... :(
Actually, we were hoping that the banquet price wouldn't exceed $1000 per table (okay, maybe that's not possible :p)

Hahaha I was looking at $1000 per table but it became more and more and more! You can maybe try looking at lunch banquet prices or maybe do your banquet on a Friday or Sunday? I'm doing mine on a Sunday cause my bf's side wants to do their own reception (Malay style, have 2 sides) and my parents want a one time sit down banquet so we decided to do separate receptions. Mine would be the fun one of course! ;)

Actually which hotels are you looking at? I was just reading on Hotel Jen at Tanglin, seems like their tables around $1000?
 
I just signed my venue with Novotel :D Guess afterall they are the most affordable ballroom with a gigantic holding area all to you and a pillar-less ballroom. Too bad i'm not holding my solemisation in the hotel otherwise the outdoor area outside the ballroom is perf! I chose the cinnamon ballroom btw :P I guess things are starting to get exciting for me!

Yup they have one on 25 Oct but I couldn't make it. Perks were extended to us when requested - like 1 more barrel of beer, 10 bottled of wine, photobooth. And package already come with candy bar ;)

Hotel Jen is definitely on my list due to their price. But I'll want shortlist a few others too to widen my choices.
Actually, I've emailed hotel Jen and they told me their 2017 price isn't out yet. Does anyone knows roughly which period will hotels release their 2017 slots for booking?

Hello Jerniice! I went goodwood for viewing before too! If you like a big holding area, goodwood cannot fit the bill :p

Novotel has gt 3 menu, 1128, 1228 and 1328. Why not pass me ur email I can send u the menus and wedding show perks (they only shared with me when I asked for it)
 

I have yet to plan my AD. We do not plan to hold tables, hence we are thinking what should we do. We want something simple, we are going to do tea ceromony, ROM everything together on AD. Was thinking buffet at hotels but don't seems to be worth it.
