[rsan]

Hi ladies~
Haven't been back for ages 'cos it's still such a long time to my date. I went to view an actual wedding setup in July and it was ok. Not fantastic but ok. Planning to look up the florist to see what can be done to spruce it up a little too.. I think quite abit of work is gonna have to go into the reception area as well 'cos it was really bare >_<

Sorry the shots aren't very clear, my phone has a useless cam..

[bubbl3]

My Acct has been transferred to Noor

Btw, is it possible to change the coordinator? I prefer violette..

any advice

 

[joskyhuang]

ST: wat happened? btw have you spoken to Noor alreadY?

btw, other then violette, any other coordinator to recommend? just wondering what if she get overloaded?

 

[jenny_zhenni]

Hey, just to share..

hehe..

My file has been take over by Noor from Agnes. I would like to say that she is very nice &amp; friendly and has been accomdating to my needs. I have read most of the feedbacks about her in the forum and it is quite disappointed that you don't have give her the chance. And the way she follow up is very prompt. I heard she is from a 5 star hotel. If you girls has doubts, can meet up with her... hehe...

I am very happy with her =)

 

[michi]

My coordinator is also Noor..i've responded to her introduction email. She is prompt in reply and has solved my queries &amp; accomodate to my request within a day. When she can't get hold of me, she took the effort to leave voicemail &amp; sms to inform me.

Same as Jennifer, i'm happy with her...so ladies, let us have faith with our new coordinator...sure she will be able to serve us better!

 

[jazzshoegirl]

i just heard from violet they received the letter from compass. if bring in original cds, couples have to go to compass to pay additional fee of 50 dollars but u can choose hotel songs.

violet just sent me the updated songlist with the wedding classics -no more sad songs from the previous cds hahahaha..

please check with your respective wedding planner and they will send you the list for u to choose 1st and 2nd march in songs.

yay

 

[sept_09_bride]

Hi Shoegirl.. wat songs do they hv..?? u mean we cannt even bring in CDs even if is original??

 

[jenny_zhenni]

you may check with your coordinator. it's an updated songlist. ask more details from her instead.

 

[jazzshoegirl]

here is the one she sent me, i love the songs

so happy now. if your ad is approaching then get from her, if your ad is still far away, she'll send it to you nearer to date, cos who knows they might have new ones. but im loving what she sent me now..<center><table border=1><tr><td>

[jazzshoegirl]

*CH: if you bringing original cds, you have to go to compass.org.sg to apply for licence, she told me the fees about 50 bucks. now compass is very stict on the hotel, so just use the hotel songs, nice ones and free also hehe

 

[sept_09_bride]

huh?? these are all the songs?? omg..!! i only like 1 or 2 of the songs in the list.. they dun hv chinese songs?? wah lao.. original songs still gota pay.. !!

 

[jazzshoegirl]

well ch its not the hotel's fault, its the policy of the government

well you can try appealing [email protected]
and visit their website www.compass.org.sg.

hope that helps

 

[sept_09_bride]

I never say is the hotel fault....

Hi ladies, overall i'm quite pleased with Amara after attending the wedding show ystr.

Some updates on the food: its a 4 couse lunch with a 4 item cold dish plate, shark 's fin, ee-fu noodle &amp; mango puddin. I would give a 7.5 rating on the food, personally i find dishes slightly salty, but i like they way the pour a bowl of shark FINS into the broth when presenting the dish

Hi

My name is Jarls from Singapore and I am an undergraduate at a Hospitality Management school in Switzerland. For my undergraduate dissertation, I am looking at the negotiation behaviour of prospective wedding couples looking to hold their wedding banquet at 5-star hotels in Singapore.

Your response is kindly appreciated and will aid in the completion of my paper.

This survey will take up 15-20 minutes of your time.
