U r welcome Marnie and YES Burkill Hall was really THE place.
Hi zen,it's ok,can tell u're really excited, me did ask letty abt sit-down dinner. It's a 4-course dinner and it is definitely going to be more expensive than buffet.Maybe u can ask letty more abt sit-down dinner.
Actually my relatives are fine with the buffet style dinner jus tat some of hubby side's relatives (those that came late and complained one lor) dun like it. Do ur survey first ok? Best of luck to u!
Hi js,it's ok dun worry abt it.YES, Letty was really very nice, although she herself was very stressed up, she still tried to cool me down and make sure that everything run smoothly for me and hubby.She even let my sis have the table decor at the end of the night. Very nice lady! Hope everything turn out great for u too js.All the best!
Will let update everyone when photos are ready!! Me going to Bangkok for a short trip, hopefully photos will be ready when i m back. Cheers ladies!!

BTW, jus to let u ladies noe,I was so worried abt the wine and beer thing that i really had a hard time estimating, anyway the result turns out to be : 25 bottles of red wine finished up (for 140 plus guests), 20 litres of beer (one barrel) not finished and extra 3 cartons of beer untouched. So i think nw the IN thing is wine, maybe can forget about beer liao.Can cut cost on this part.Jus take wine will do.Hope this will help in ur planning.
oh yes js, another prob i had on that day was the sound system cannot play mp3 format (we burn the songs that we wanted to use), so if possible pls bring normal cds for them to play. Letty sent her staff to buy the songs that i wanted to use (so sweet of her right!) but only managed to get the solemnisation march in song (but was very grateful liao),march out song cannot find lor.Anyway, jus want to let u noe in advance.NORMAL CDs pls..
Btw, pls let letty noe in advance if u need the soundman and system to be there early for ur rehearsal, we forgot to let her noe that we need rehearsal so the system came in quite late therefore no time for rehearsal.
Anyway,i will juz post whatever i can remember,ok? old liao, abit forgetful..so bits and pieces here..hehehe..paiseh hah..

Hi pricee,
yupz..on children's day..
hmm...i'm thinking of getting those chinese take-out boxes n filled them with goodies for the kids...maybe put in some small games n some candies for them..so they won't bother their parents n still have fun on their during the wedding...As for the adult guests i'm still planning...still cracking my brains with FH...He loves the ideas i've been putting into his head...hahaha...
Actually, if you engage a caterer who does everything, you could actually get everything from them...we r just researching on our own on certain things to see if we can get it cheaper...Afterall, cost is the main factor of everything..
with an outdoor setting like burkill hall, u can really play around with a lot of stuffs...n tat could mean a hole in the pocket..
When's your AD? have u went to see burkill hall??
hi deedee,
thx for the pics..u look great...love ur wedding cake..

dee dee and js,
Thank you for your concern. All is well. We will have a a cruise wedding instead. Since am unable to have a wedding banquet that fits into my PIL's demand, we decided to skip it altogether.
We'll go on a cruise to celebrate our union instead.

Just to KPO only. TQ! [email protected]

Hi gals,
HI, Happy CNY! great to see so many BH brides..
deedee, hope to see your AD photos in BH soon. I wld love to see the outdoor evening effects in prints.
We are planning to have solemnisation followed by a sit down buffet dinner on 18/6/05. Frens mentioned that ppl will start leaving after their dinner and there are frenz who mentioned that ppl will give very little angbaos when they hear it's buffet. So sad..
Any plans you have to entertain the guests? It will be a waste -- such a beautiful place but ppl leaving early..

hi SHERON i'd sent the photos to u liao.pls chk ur mail.cruise wedding is something special, hope u enjoy urself.
hi AGNES i did not have any entertainment for my guests. my frens were all eating,chit-chatting,drinking and enjoying themselves.my relatives oso had no prob becos they loved to drink, so all were drinking wine and chit chatting. All my guests stayed till quite late. :>
as for the angpows, they were kind enough not to give me anything below $60. But to tell u the truth the angpows oni enuf to cover the food. But no regrets lah, it's a different kind of wedding no choice lor..
if u need entertainment, den u need to find out what kind of entertainment suits ur guests.
maybe u can try having
1. a singer (jazz kind)or
2. bellydancers or
3. u and ur hubby dance for ur guests or
4. get ur guests to dance etc.
bt don't turn it into something like D&D hor..hehe
wish u good luck!

hallo all, would like to find out something from you cuz my cousin is thinking of having her wedding at burkill Hall. when you calculate the cost per head, do you include everything like decor, music band etc? or do you just calculate the food and rental? because people will ask how much it cost so as to gauge the hongbao. thank you!
Hi Huiling,
To answer your question, usually we calculate the per head based on food + venue rental + decor.
As for the other things, it shd be on the side...
however since burkill hall have high rental the best way to advise the guests is to tell them that the cost is actually the same as that of a hotel...

hi huiling,
usually if guest hears its buffet, they may lower the angbao amt, same goes if its outdoor weddings. These are some feedback i hear fm our frens..So we are quite prepared. Anyway, it's once a lifetime wedding. I suppose I don't want to let the angbaos amt affect what i want for my wedding. FYI, our costs work out to abt same range as orchard rd hotel prices partly due to rental as well as other misc which we have to source like deco, music..
deedee, can i view your photos too?
