Hi ladies! I'm March 2018 BTB. I've confirmed and booked my bridal package and hotel in April. I've went to survey a few hotel and was surprised to find out most hotel dinner reception was booked on the date that I wanted. Left with no choice, I've decided to book Furama Riverfront Hotel for my lunch reception instead. Their perks are really attractive and they have venue to accommodate to small scale wedding (Min 12 and Max 18 tables). It's pretty hard to find hotel that accommodate below 20 tables. What's more? If you take between 12-14 tables for their waterfall venue, it will be pillar-less with high ceilings. As for my bridal package, I signed up for Z wedding after I tried their experience programme. They service is really good and they gowns are so pretty. Can't wait for the arrival of 2018! Hehehe.
Anyway, do anyone of you engage MUA for mothers? And what's the rate?

Hi Jessie! Congrats!! My AD is on 10th March. How about yours? Sure do, do let me know too if you managed to source for MUA for your mothers. Cheers!
Hi Temotatafu! Thank you, mine's on 18th March. I did sourced for 1 free lance now. She's actually my sister's colleague and she charges relatively cheaper cos she just graduate from those makeup schools and needed to build up her port folio. Have yet to arrange for trial makeup for my mother so not sure how skillful she is though. Perhaps i can pass you her contact once I've tried out the trial first? Meanwhile lets continue researching. Hahaha.
Pls share w me too.. [email protected]

Hi, you can look for David Tong.
He make use of you and your htb bazi + parents zodiac to calculate the dates rather than following tong shu.
We went to find master and calculate. He gave us 3 years worth of dates

I've recently attended a wedding at Crowne plaza. most of the dishes are too salty.Hi Everyone! Imma tentative- July 2018 btb

Service wasn't up to standard. The server who attended to our table wasn't trained to use the fork and spoon with one hand (you know when they try to distribute noodles or transfer dishes to smaller plates). Ok actually doesn't matter much but I remember we had one dish with seafood and broccoli and we were still not done so she had to transfer to a smaller plate but it's obvious the small plate won't fit so she stacked the broccoli and dropped a few while doing so. While distributing the noodles she couldn't even do it properly, she's like rushing through it and noodles are dangling out of the bowls. The whole banquet was just very rushed. Everything ended by 10pm.

Hi all BTBs! Need some advice about wine buying, because I'll have about 300 guests with only 1 complimentary 30L barrel of beer (which should serve 90 glasses) and 1 bottle of house wine per table (which pours 6 glasses if I'm not wrong), and free corkage of 1 additional self-brought bottle of alcohol per table from the hotel.
How much alcohol and what types (red/white/hard liquor/beer, and in any particular ratio?) are you ladies buying for your wedding? Any good suppliers to recommend? And how many guests will you be having?

Hey.
U paid the deposit without signing the contract?
Not sure if this is their standard procedure but when I signed with MO, they drafted a contract for me to view a week before the appointment to sign and pay deposit. The draft was a good move cause there were typo and minor errors in it which they were able to edit in time for the signing.
Contact your coordinator and check. Since u have paid for deposit, they should more than be able to provide u with a contract.
Coordinators usually take a while to reply but do remind them once in a while.

Hi hi
I'm a dec 2018 bride and I recently signed with MO for my lunch banquet.
Service I've gotten from them so far has been good. Went to their wedding show and had some of their menu food for buffet lunch, food was pretty good!
Hello. For my case, my hotel offer us the draft contract to review first. Once the contract is finalized, we would sign and provide our credit card details. Then they charge our credit card. I think this should be most of the case. It's important to ensure that the perks and t&c that they said verbally are written in the contract.

Hihi, I'm a Dec 2018 BTB. Now doing some homework for the gown, as my HTB has made it clear he does not want to be involved in planning for this particular issue at all. I've seen in the other threads recommended ones include
1. Gowns Villa
2. Fleur Dsign
3. Gown Warehouse
4. Bridal Veil (this one looks really nice but a bit on the expensive side)
My friend recommended me home-based Cupid Gowns, though I'm a bit worried because of my size.
I'm a bit on the + size. The clothes I usually buy are between size 12, 14 maximum 16, depending on the cut.
Anyone would like to recommend any other cheap and good bridal shops and packages? Feel free to share "horror stories" too, so that I know what to steer clear from.

Hi Christabel, I think you can see from my profile, I'm Catholic, so ultimately how I picked my dates was actually subject to availability of the priest and the church. Guess this saves me and my HTB a lot of headache.
Hi Clare, been to the Gown Warehouse and the coordinators are really friendly, thinking of signing with them. I ave not heard of Cupid Gowns, did you mange to go for an appointment?
Hi, please share with me too! I'm also sourcing for MUA for the mothers. Thank you!!
anyone looking for freelance MUA can contact me if interested. Have a friend who did my rom for me. charges ok too. PM me if interested.
I've not been told of any of this? My AD is end Jan2018.

Hi All BTBs
I am a 2018 bride too! Currently, looking for lunch banquet venues.. So far I've checked out The Westin, but don't like their payment policy. Hence looking at other options!
I am quite concerned about the quality of food. Wondering if you girls have any opinions/feedbacks on the following hotels?
1) Mandarin Oriental
2) Conrad Centennial Singapore
3) Swissotel Merchant Court

Hi all, I'm a Sep 2018 BTB I have booked my dinner banquet at Peach Garden, Hotel Miramar during a promotion, includes free flow beer and wine. Perks were pretty good. I'm looking for actual day bridal package, AD photography & videography and photobooth. Do you have any suggestions? Have anyone heard of Fortevisuals f0r their AD photography & videography? Are they good?
