hi joanhon,
the menu for lunch & hi-tea is a difference of $10 becos of the items, and thats the standard price.
I played cheap & ordered the hi-tea as lunch for my guests, as the items are quite filling, with fried noodles, fried chix wings, fried carrot cake, assorted dim sum, mini sandwiches, spring rolls, assorted fruits. Thats more than enough & the dim sum was gone in the shortest time.
U can try to negotiate a lower price or exclude some items from the menu.
Either way, try to negotiate with them, i believe most of the hotels does leave some room for negotitaion..

Hi all,
Need some helps from u. I'm holding my solemnisation early next year and would like to have a meaning ful and memorable one which my hubby-to-be and I can have sweet memory down the road. Had checked out on cruise but there is a condition which i don't think we can fulfil ie to have at least 5 cabin bookings. Have anyone hold their ROM at botanic garden or Mt Faber or Jurong Hill or cable car b4? How's about zoo and bird park? Pls help.. If yes, how do I go about it? Do u have any other suggestions?

hi pinkapple, can you let me know how you booked fort canning? my email is [email protected] thanks!!!
Hi Serene,
I am also looking out for places to hold my solemnisation - preferably outdoors. For alkaff mansion, how is the cost like?
I checked out other threads...seems Oaks Grill and Bar is quite a good choice too. Dun mind more suggestions too from the people here.
Thanks much!

Hi Sakura,
Alkaff mansion charges $32+++ for the Hi-tea but they will advise you to set up a marquee in case of bad weather and that itself will cost $800. I think not worth it. If you add that $800 into the cost, you could easily get a hotel ballroom.
Me too, looking for a venue. Try emailing the hotels and they will be glad to send you their proposals. You can even fix appointment to go down and take a look.

Hi everyone,
I am planning to have outdoor wedding - rom + dinner together next yr too. Still sourcing for places - any recommendations??
If you gals are looking at ROM n tea reception, consider Republic of Singapore Yacht Club at West Coast Ferry Rd. Very nice place and they are charging $30+ per pax. You can visit their website at http://www.rsyc.org.sg/ I actually wanted to have mine there but for their outdoor the max is only 80pax....
Cheers!

Hi Postpet2,
We went hunting around for a suitable ROM venue a few months back, & would like to share with u our experience. The ROM venue depends greatly on your preferences, food & budget. If u're looking at outdoor venues, u'll have to contend with the hot sun & possibly rain. Also, there may be distractions like insects & strong winds which may make your reception difficult. For us, we wanted an indoor area for comfort, yet we didn't want a typical enclosed function room as that would be too 'seminar' like. For ROM, our preference is somewhat a more open-concept, yet with the comfort of air-conditioning.

Oaks is quite okay with pricing except that u'll lose out on the exclusiveness of your event. The Bar won't be totally closed for your event, and that means u have to contend with people walking up & around when your reception is on. Also, the layout of the place is not very conducive for such a event, with all e pillars & table arrangements.
For hotels, most function rooms are fully-enclosed and private. If u dun mind the 'seminar' feeling, there's a lot of hotels (not along Orchard belt) that can give u a good bang for your buck.
For speciality restaurants, there's quite a few options, depending on the type of food & budget. U may have to deal with less exclusiveness as it's unlikely the entire restaurant will be blocked off for u. What u could do is to check out the private rooms or upper levels of the restaurants.
Mount Faber is an interesting place for ROM, but u have to remember that non-driving guests will have problems reaching your venue.

Hello piyo,
thanks for your kind advice...
i had tot of that initially and was thinking of compromising by holding the short ceremony in the open(some nice garden) or some sort, before proceeding for makan in the airconditioned place...that's y i had looked at oaks initally...cos they are able to do so...
currently, i had asked for quotes from Father Flanagan in Chijmes...anyone had heard or had theirs there??
The organiser say, it may be possible to have it outside their fountain area or perhaps on Chijmes ground....this sounds good leh..
but i've yet to see the place and talk to them further..
so wanna ask you ladies here...any experience with them??

Hi Silver & postpet2,
An ideal venue greatly depends on your preferences & your idea of ROM. So whether a place is gd or not is rather subjective.
As for holding the ceremony in an open space then moving into air-con for food, it's also an idea we've considered. However, u gotta be careful of wet weather. If it rains, your open area have to be sheltered. When it's sheltered, it has to be sheltered enough to prevent rain from coming in from the sides. Also, it may be a little dark & noisy during a heavy downpour, something I believe u wouldn't want on such an occasion. holding it indoors will be a safer bet as even if it pours, u have a decent quiet place to say your vows & sign the certificate in peace. It is the reasons why we went around hunting for hotel seminar rooms with open-concept. There's not many hotels with such an option, but u can always call every one up & ask if they had an open view seminar room. Perhaps at least a ceiling-to-floor window on 1 side of the room.

hi postpet2,
U might want to check out Viet Lang at Chijmes. It's a vietnamese restaurant. I got an ROM quote from them for set lunch at around $20+++. They have private function rooms to be used too i think the capacity for each is around 40-50. You can contact Vernette Tan at TEL: 6336 7618 FAX: 6766 0508 for more details.
I haven't tried the food there though... so dunno whether it's good.

Hi postpet2,
I am actually considering Raffles Marina, chijmes, fort canning (but no reply from them yet), GCW and perhaps hotel poolside. Saw Chijmes's setting in one of the website very nice leh. Ya ve to rent the place and cater from their list of caterers otherwise there will be surcharge. One of the caterers is Kriston - I think their food not bad rite? Anyone ve tried b4?
My ideal is actually Raffles Marina but pretty concern if it rains, it will spoil everyone. Chijmes looks very nice, rather diff from usual hotels and with shelter so considering that too but ve yet to go down to take a look.

postpet2,
Btw, the one you attended is buffet or usual set lunch? How you find the food?
Just one question, if you gals are been invited to Chijmes for wedding, how much ang bao will you give? Cos usually for outdoor people tends to think it's cheaper. So wondering does that applies to Chijmes too?

hey gals,
FYI, actually chijmes is not cheap. Rental is 2k+ and catering from the official caterers start from $24/person for standing cocktail reception. This is excluding floral decoration for the hall... All in all, expect to spend at least $5-6k for a church wedding/ROM.

Hello Silver,
Yeah...expensive place lah..Raffles hotel..
actually, over the weekend, i had talked to the WP. i told him that i dun want something elaborate..
so he suggested buffet at the martini bar(i think) and can use the small cosy area that faces the green.
not too bad idea...you can consider that too.
the buffet is about $49+++ i think...but got oysters, prawns..the usual lah
Have you got yours yet??

hi ladies,
I read thur this chat with interest.. i am going to get ROM this June and I will be having my solemnisation at Amara Hotel. I actually made enquires at Beaufort, Rasa, Carlton, fig leaf, changi beach club, york hotel etc. But the staff at Amara hotel is really very helpful and accomodating and the price is really good. They even give me a room for a night. I will really like to recommend Amara Hotel to make your ROM meaningful. In any case, if u need any details on the other locations, i can send it to u gers.
