Hey gals,
If you are worrying about the wine corkage, there's 3Litre red wine available in market.3L bottle corakge=1 normal wine bottle corkage. So you do save on the corkage if you are not so particular with the quality of the red wine.The choices are however quite limited.

Hi Happy,
I'm interested in the 3L red wine. Where to get it at and how much does it costs? What are the range of wines they have?

Hi gals,
I found it at Euro Link Wines & Spirits,cannot remember the exact address.Just know it's in Toa Payoh.Tel:6255 7271. It cost from $50+ to $70+ for 3L which i find it very worthwhile as I only have 12bottles corkage wavier that time. I don't have the exact address, u can search from yellow pages online.I think there are many wine shops that carry 1.5L wine. If you have many bottles waived, do consider that as there are more ranges available, cheaper and better than the 3L.Typically, i think a table need 1.5 bottle of 750ml of wine.

Hi Flora
The coordinator is assigned to u, not u choose which coord u want. Every hotel the same. They assign by the groom's surname.
So if ur FH's surname belongs to first half of the 26 alphabets, high chance u might get michelle
But last time there were 2 coord. Now w R as well, i'm not so sure how they allocate.

Hi Flora,
Out of these few, i would recommend Furama Riverfront cos of the pillarless ballroom and the newly renovated ballroom for mercury which have two views (poolside and fountain view).You may look for Albert. A nice chap
As for Amara, its really nice. However for the price pay would rather choose a hotel in town or along river valley.
York hotel: the ambient is not tat fantastic ans its inconvient for ur guest to walk quite a distance
Suntec: ballroom is ok but food ave.
How abt Hilton and Hyatt

I emailed both of them too. Hilton's on the more pricey side, so will consider if all our other consideration are no longer available. Hyatt replied wanting our names and contact numbers, without the package list. Not keen to give out numbers yet till I've discussed more with my FH (so far I'm the only one doing all those emailing/calling up job) so I still dunno how's pricing like yet to be considering it. Any idea?? Thanks!!

Hmmm...Hyatt have a min of above 30 tables tables for the main ballroom... However, the package for 2008 dun koe out yet. When i went Mar its still 2007 package
The price quite comparable to Hilton...
What is ur budget??

Hmmmm~ We'll probably have around 50 tables, so hopefully below $800 for a weekend package at somewhere that can accomodate us and available on our date. So far those 4 that I shortlisted are those that are OK. Some places like Novotel and many restaurants (including several under Tung Lok's group) I called are no longer available. Actually I'm not sure about York's max number of tables yet, will ask tomorrow. Hopefully can decide everything before this month ends, if not more and more places will be taken on our chosen date.

hi Latte

Hi
No chance to take photos of the EGs leh.
Romance is red theme. Red roses, red VIP table decor (but the sashes ard the chairs can change to gold i think, if u dun want ang gong gong)
Grandeur is champagne/pink roses. I think its a bit peach/cream coloured. Not as dramatic as romance, but hv to choose it so as not to clash against my EG colours.
U can choose romance. Its the nicest theme n I think it will look really grand against ur champagne coloured EG!!

hi girls,
Just had my wedding on Sat. I appreciate Michelle, Jeffrey's help and esp a sound engineer called Iskander who helped us in our selection and mic tuning
I heard from my guests that some of their waiters are very jovial and made them enjoyed their dinner too.. The fish that i have been worried about seems to turn out quite good. Overall the guests told me the food are good. In fact i have not hear any negative comments yet.
But we used the L-shaped side of the ballroom, which i heard that the guests could not hear properly from there.
Very happy that everything went extremely smooth.

Hi & Latte,
When my god-sis got married at Hilton Hotel, her uncle signed the bill on behalf of her and he put in $500 tips. We were shocked but her uncle said that this is the norm. So i'm also getting worried too.. Is it the normal practice?
,
Congrats on your ROM! How was it?

Hi all BTB, I had my wedding dinner at Amara last month. Everything went on smoothly. All thanks to Michelle and Eddie. The service was fantastic. Michelle was still around during my second march in. Eddie gave very clear and helpful instructions from how I should hold my gown and the flowers to cake cutting and champagne pouring. With Michelle and Eddie, your dinner are in good hands.

Kimochi,
Did you book extra rooms for your wedding? Was Michelle able to give any special rates?
I may need to book about 8 or more additional rooms for my wedding nights as i'm having relatives from overseas so i am trying to get the best rates.

Hi Belle
Is your wedding on a weekday or weekend? If its weekday I suggest you book fast cos Amara is business hotel. Often booked on weekdays. Weekends should b ok.
If you need 8 rooms, i'm sure u will hv a v special rate
Where's, forgot to come back and update her ROM?
