Hi,
I heard that there will be changes to the wedding favour soon. is it true? I think i will still be getting the pralines.
Thanks reismion for the photos,v tempted to take the romance theme now. This backdrop is nicer than the previous backdrop!v similar to swissotel merchant court theme.
anyone has the grandeur latest backdrop pictures?

Hi happy
when is ur AD? Pralines are ok, better than some places giving plain choc or fruit cake
Anyway the cost for favours alrdy charged in the package so i doubt they will change to anything better/more expensive...
Come to think of it if any brides already signed the package but still affected by GST, we can all ask for change of favours.. haha

Hi Reismion, can you email me your wedding banquet photos at [email protected]
Thanks

hi remismion, my email addr [email protected]
my AD is 16th Nov, most likely going down to sign with Amara this week. Actually my HTB and myself are deciding between ParkRoyal (Beach rd)and Amara as PR has a suntec wedding show promo, it's very attractive but the ballroom not as nice as Amara.
We did ask Michelle of Amara regarding the GST, she said the package will not be affected by GST increase. However, if we buy wines etc where prices is not Nett, then those rates will be affected.

Hi happy
My AD is qt some time from now but I think i'll hv the same problem with first dish song (actually the march-in songs too)... Got some good recommendations in the wedding songs thread tho i'm not sure if they are suitable for 1st dish as usually ppl use more dramatic songs for it. Maybe back to Kitaro since its really good and nowadays no longer so common

Thanks Iced latte,
I wonder if Amara has any 1st dish songs for me to choose from.I had something in mind for march in songs already. Is kitaro music very dramatic? I havent hear it before.Any very good album or songs from Kitaro to recommend? I read from wedding songs thread, mainly recommend allegrato by bond or be my guests. i find it a bit dramatic for allegrato, so wondering if anybody uses less dramatic 1st dish or not.

Hi happy
Kitaro music has lots of drums.. hmm i dunno how to describe. used to b v popular as first dish song long long ago. haha.. Be my guest is kinda common by now. No matter what song most impt u must like it, not cos others like it, cos its ur evening!
got a fren used 'love is in the air'.. abit forgettable lor, unless can find the fast tempo version.

Thanks iced latte,
I shall check it out Kitaro's. I'm shortlisting some from the Bond, so depend on which is more suitable.Have to finalise all details by early feb, so doing my last min homework now.
Will be going down to take a look at the grandeur theme, hopefully they have new deco theme like romance backdrop totally revamped. It seem like most wedding r using grandeur theme, the coming up weddings r mostly using grandeur.

Hi Gals
My fren had her wedding at other hotel and they used "be my guest".. i tink its from some cartoon, feels like tat "under the sea" cartoon. it's cool actually - got a jazzy feel to it.
in any case, tru experience from planning her wedding, the coordinator should have a list of recommended songs for march-in, 1st dish and 2nd march-in.
we can also expect to meet the banquet mgr at the ballroom 1-2 hrs before the start, to listen to their songs and select there.
For my 1st march-in, my FH intends to pick some 'happening' opera songs.. good luck to him man. haha

Hi
Be my guest and Under the sea hv the same feel cos they are both songs from Little Mermaid
It's v appropriate for dinner right
Hw are u marching in to opera song? dance? hv to walk v v slowly lor, will look v grand.
Hi cutecat
I think the food for Amara ROM packages r all buffet style, either lunch, hi tea or dinner. Just different food, min pax & prices

Hi cheryl
hmm dunno which alphabet they start to split b/w michelle and patricia.. maybe not exactly 13 each
did u view the ballroom or ROM venue? A day room for helpers is reasonable. go neg again. But i agree they dun neg for corkage. maybe tt's to make extra $ in return for offering slightly cheaper package to entice customers. Just a tot.

Hi Latte
Juz saw yr fotos.. wao u damn chio & tall leh... keke..
All my frens adv not to take up any ROM packages from hotel... coz mine's a weekday so not many will turn up. and also they find tat its not worth spending tat amount of money for a 3 hr tingy.
anyway i guess i'll listen to them and stick to a family dinner. Any sugg? Both pairs of parents are traditional chinese... so hv to find a great restaurant. btw, usually for such dinner where its only 2-4 tables, who pays for it? Parents in law or us, the newly wed?

Hi
Thanks for your compliments. Tall.. yep i'm above average.. Chio.. hmm MUA can do wonders!
I agree weekday ROM shldn't hold at hotel cos if u dun hv enuf ppl to attend its not worth the package. Normal hotel ROM scores more on ambience/deco/photo opportunities than food. Mine at Amara had so-so buffet spread only.
Dinner can try peony jade. My cousin had her ROM there (i din attend) and got good comments on the food. Near ROM venue and good - Wah Lok @ Carlton hotel. Can see several ROM couples there one
More pricey but good - Chef Chan at Odeon. Seafood restaurants like Jumbo qt foolproof too. Urs is dinner so plenty of venues to choose.
I'm not sure traditionally who pays for the ROM. Older folks may not feel the importance of ROM so some may feel its the couple who wants to treat them to makan (ie not a necessity and NOT a wedding expense). For mine, I paid with FH (not 50:50). If ur PIL can afford and they offer, let them pay. Otherwise u and FH pay. luckily few tables still affordable.

wa... tks for yr ideas man..
will check them out with my FIL... i let him make decisions actually... i guess for the dinner, it sounds reasonable for us to pay instead of PIL...
in fact, the choice of amara hotel was my FIL's... he finds it convenient for relatives... so we went to check it out wif him, liked the new reno-ed look and.. sign lor.. keke

ya i think relatives esp non-drivers will find amara v convenient. even drivers, cos hardly any traffic jams, unlike orchard
ur FIL got good taste. The new look is v modern now. totally unlike the old amara or any 4* hotel
hopefully we get our money's worth and hv good memories to hold our AD there!
