Hello!
Not kiasu... I'm a 2018 BTB as well (June 2018) and we recently went looking around venues too - we went to Hilton, Marriott, Grand Hyatt and also PARKROYAL on Pickering. So far our favourite is Pickering as I feel quite comfortable with the coordinator
Have you calculated your dates, or don't plan to?
Even for Pickering - the date we were looking at, had other tentative bookings already! So definitely... not too kiasu.. haha
There's a thread as well for June 2018 BTBs, quite a number of them

I'm a 2018 bride too. Not Kiasu at all. Is always good to plan early. However, I sighed with French Wedding Couture but thinking if I am too impulsive. Did your hear any reviews about it? Any experiences to share?

Hahah. Mine isn't calculated. Its my anniversary date with HTB.
Cos we just got engaged and we just only settled the date. So I hope it's not too late to book a venue by next month?
How long should we take to decide the venue?

Booking one year in advance is quite ok.. Usually hotel will press u to decide n sign on the day itself with deposit but usually they will extend the perks for few more days.. Just need to ask them.. See a few more location and choose the place u like.. After all, it's your big day!

Haha, that's true. Cos we still have to work within the budget.. But I'm glad that we are starting!
Hello all. Sorry bit kiasu. But any 2018 Bride to Be?
Have you all started searching or picking dates?
Is it too early to attend wedding showcase and bridal shops now?
Understand that prices are always fluctuating, is it safer to secure hotel banquets deals now or I can wait?
HAHA.

Hi all! Confirming on the venue as well in January 2018. It's a massive headache at the moment! Better secure one now or your dates might be gone.
Hello. So you confirmed 2018, but you paid 2017 price? Mind to share more which hotel you booked
Is it true that they throw in more perks during hotel wedding shows? Appreciate it

I think is better for you to sign when there is a wedding show. They offer better

Hi all, im planning for either yr end 2017or 2018. Care to share where u ladies book for venue and the pw/pg/bs n cre to share the package? So excited!
End 2017 is cheaper and can ask for more perks if you are flexible with dates. And if you have time to plan. Prices for 2018 went up quite significantly for most hotels. Just booked Crowne plaza at BOWS yesterday. Looking for other stuff too. Do book soon!

Hi Babe! I just confirmed PARKROYAL Pickering for January 2018. Yes, they stuck to 2017's price. Not all hotels do that though. We went to check out Carlton hotel and they weren't able to offer ANY perks for 2018. Nor sure about hotel wedding shows!

Hi kimmy,

Hi, parkroyal pickering is one of my options. Do you mind sharing your package with me?
Appreciate it.
Hi kimmy, I'm interested in PARKROYAL but was late when they are closing when arriving. Can you share their pricing and package?
Thanks in advance

Hello fellow PARKROYAL on Pickering BTB! Mine is in June 2018
I was very happy they gave 2017 rates as well. We went to Grand Hyatt and they wanted us to top up $100++ per table in order to book 2018 dates.hellobunny

Hi, I took PR Pickering Lunch Banquet. 10 Tables at Conference Room 1 & 2 combined. I personally like the hotel but price is slightly on the high side. But the food was F A N T A S T I C. Upon 10 stars I would rate it a 8.5 and portion was generous too. Look for Stephanie if you are signing up with PR Pickering

FINALLY a review on the food! I was really afraid food might not turn out good hahaha. I was attended to by Valerie and she's great too!

Yes yes, but because I took lunch so there was no abalone or any sorts. If you are going for variety dinner might be a better choice. But you can take a look at the lunch package the food is really damn good. Amongst all the banquets I have been to and ate at, I feel it's really one of the best. But slightly pricey, about 1.4K (including gst and service charge) for a lunch banquet but I feel it's money well spent!

I'm doing lunch in June 2018! You have no idea how happy I am to hear a review on their food. Thank you for dropping a note here

IF they are still keeping the same menu for the lunch banquet. Side note/ drunken prawns & the taro paste IS A MUST. >.<
Hello,
I'm getting married in April 2018. I'm just having a solemnisation ceremony and canapes hopefully at Parkroyal on Pickering.
I'm Yet to pay the deposit.
I'm from Albany in Western Australia so doing all my planning via the internet.
Can anyone tell me how much I should pay for makeup and hair in Singapore? Also is 500 too much to pay for 2hrs photographer including edited photos and thumb drive. I have seen some pricing at 100 hour.
We are not used to the Singapore heat so thinking the Groom could wear dress shorts instead of pants. The ROM states pants should be worn. Has anyone been to a wedding where the groom wore shorts?
