hi
i think when u r tabulating yr budget shld put ave of $50 like that then u will knw roughly how much $$ u need to top up
example :if amara package =750 for sunday x 30 table =$22,500
est any pow = 50pax10x30 =$15,000
the top up = $7,500 ( excluing beer,wine& liquar)
something like that, then u can roughly guage how mcuh u hv to save.
to be kiasu a bit save $10,000 that will be anypow ave $42 per person, should always get the worse scenairo ;P

oh no... that calculation kind of 'wake me up'.
Ya.. tink gotta leave aside abt $10000 in case of loss.
In my opinion, if the guest is not able to afford a reasonable ang bao, maybe he/she is not so well off, we as the host cannot blame them lor.
But if he/she is rich and yet bao only $20, then it's another case liao... Can disown tis friend or blacklist tis relative liao.. keke..

Hi Littlemay,
same sentiments... $80-$100.We still have tea ceremony ang baos to cover a bit of the banquet. But most friends now the least i think is $50.. so if each give $50, you lose out abt $200/table, 10 tables will be $2k..
We must be happy brides... dun think abt the angbaos liao.. they will be some pp who give more then can cover those who give less... so not that bad... ( i wish my guest will be like little may)
Jl.. u ask such a qn here at amara... haha... wonder if your friend is any of us..

Hi gals,
One of my close friends who went to a dinner at amara tonight say the service not good leh.. the service staff always in hurry to clear the dishes, serve until the lazy susan filled with food scrapes, food didnt portion properly.Bring wrong drinks.. no smile n not polite to ask permission to clear.Maybe this particular waiter serving her table is not good.
The ballroom for more than 32 is very squeezy....
sigh..... must feeback to michelle... so sad..

hi socksham,
hhmmm, overall reviews from the time i started to follow this thread is quite positive.. there were of cos negative stuff but its still quite ok.. i dunnoe man.... like you say, all these are subjective to the waiters.. i am sure there are bound to be some not so professional waiters in every hotel.. .technically speaking, how much are we expect from all these part time waiters that earn a meager $6 per hour or even lesser salary?
personally, i will bring up to the banquet manager when i see him and lets all keep our fingers crossed that we will have lovely waiters & waitresses

Hello ladies,
I'm a ex-amara bride, just popping in to see how things are going at Amara. Got a call from Michelle today about the complimentary dinner @ The Element for my anniversary.
Just like to let you all know, Amara did a wonderful job during my wedding, was very grateful about it. My guests have v good comment about the food and service, things like " 5 star hotels sometimes cannot even match this type of standard" was rather common...

Hello,
The dinner is part of the package, one thing abt amara is v few perks but the price is reasonable
I missed the yam paste "or ni" they served during my dinner, its the best i tasted. Even my guests were still talking about it till today (my AD was in dec 04). Their cod fish is good too but didn't change to that cos rather ex. O ya about their waiter/waitress, according to feedbacks, they seems ok leh... my fren was saying they kept topping their soft drinks made them drink so much hahaha. And the food portion is big. Alamak I am singing their praises hahah
Must add that Michelle was very helpful, popped over before the dinner started and help me solve this last min problem that popped up.
Dun woory it's not Amara's fault. Well, i got this last min request for a vegetarian table! (the guests told the waiter there and then that they wanted to be serve vegetartarian). Luckily, Amara managed to squeese something out for them and heard that its looked good! *PHEW* so I was super impressed!
But ladies, you must take note that things will still go wrong but take it easy.

hi every1
not trying to scare u gals off but just stating the worest scenairo.
The cost that i tabulate havent include beer , wine and liquar. That y is always good to get free flow of beer or wine that can cut down yr "unforeseen expenses". And all this cost is only for the banquet only , didnt include in the Bridal package,AD photography , your ANg pow to parent & helper & mics....
So if u include that that *phew* maybe $16,000
Me now tryng hard to save so NO MORE SHOPPING NO MORE TRAVELLING for me *sobsob.....
BUT It is always good to save more if it a subplus better still can treat it as a saving for both of u.

hi everyone!
just wanna know from your experience whether the sound system in amara ballroom is good? will everyone be able to hear when someone speaks into the mic? coz i've been to one dinner (at another hotel, better not say the name! heehee..), the sound system was so bad that we could only hear muffled sounds when the MC was speaking! hopefully my guest would be able to hear everything clearly on that day...=)
btw do any of you have any idea whether amara is offering new wedding favours? coz the last time i enquired, it was only chocs and another item to choose from..

hi littlemay,
so long as the dessert are in the same category pricing, its ok....
you can downgrade but if you upgrade then it will come with a cost. madrock is technicall correct that you may have to pay, so do check with michelle cos she may 'waive' off if you have alot of tables or something.. its up to your negotiation already
