hey dolphin 25, i had to change my venue to the courtyard due to the construction behind. however, everything went on smoothly (except for the on/off of the mike during solemnization)
 


hey dolphin 25,thanks. the construction i think going to be done soon le.. i din hear any sound from the construction. more concerned about the cranes as backdrop. but later after talking to my PG then i know that the crane wasn't a problem at all.. cuz they can play with different angles to avoid the crane

Hi everyone,

I've recently visited Carlton and I actually have intention to hold it at the courtyard. However, I'm concerned about the sound coming from the waterfall. Was the sound loud even with the microphone on?
 
Shot my friend's ROM at the Courtyard . I dun remember having the water fall being too loud. She had her ROM near the swimming pool. So it quite a distance away from the wterfall
 
hmm.. i was told that the solemnisation will be conducted in front of the waterfall.

the courtyard is right in front of the function room.
 
hi rach,

sorry. i didn't take any pictures during my visit. i'll prob be going down to carlton next week again. i'll take some photos and send them to you.
 
jason is not working at carlton anymore.. called up yesterday cos we are thinking of going down to check out the venue and discuss on the package.. if possible can book first.. but now the package for 2009 is not available yet.. but the coordinator agnes said the price will increase..

Hey Garfield,
thanks so much for visitng and the compliments! Hehehe. no worries at all. I'm quite blank when it comes to computer stuffs too. This website is actually quite easy to put up. You just need to sign up an account at www.mywedding.com and there are many themes for you to choose. Then you can just follow the templates and upload your photos and stuffs. Quite user-friendly. Very soon you can have your own wedding site too!:D

hmmm i signed up with Carlton in 2006 and had my ROM in 2007. I think that time the price is not as high as now. I spent around $1300+ for the whole thing. The food was great! though i din have the chance to eat much. but from wat i heard from my guests is really up to standard.

:D Do try out the website thing if you have time. It's quite satisfying.
 
Thanks lingandyang for your patience advice! I will definitely try out the wedding site and initially i was still very worried about the ROM package cause due to budget constraint of only $2k. They count the charges of food by number of head? I will check it out soon and which place inside Carlton is good for ROM ceremony?

My finacee like the wedding photo u had taken, where did u took the package from? Expensive? Worth it?
 
Hi Garfield,
no prob. I'm glad to help a bit. I'm not sure if the carlton package had changed, but during my time, which was actually last year only, the package price was for 30 pax. And every addtional pax was an additional $30++ i think. I understand that the current rate had been adjusted already. So perhaps you would like to check with Carlton their current ROM package.

I think $2k should be enough if you are looking at an intimate group of guests only.

There are 2 spots usually used for ROM ceremony. One is the courtyard which is the one i'm using. The other is the cabanas, a bali-like pavilion. Both are good but depend on which you prefer.

Thanks! My ROM photographer is Adrian Ong. His rate is 1 of the more affordable ones that i had came across. I personally think is worth it. If you are interested, i can pm you his contact no. Do let me know.

When is your ROM?
 
rach, if i remember correctly, my PG's ROM package is $300 for around 4-5 hours then return all photos in CD and 100 4R prints.

i had already confirmed him as my AD PG too. thanks for your recommendation though. :D Have a nice day!
 
lingandyang> Thanks for sharing all the details! Think the courtyard is a better choice since u had done some homework and chosen that place, LOL. As for photographer, kindly PM me for further consideration. [email protected]

My ROM is most probably on the Jan 2009. BTW, who is your ..... the guy who announce husband and wife one?

Hi Garfield,

no prob.
happy.gif
haa actually during that time when i was about to have my ROM, i realised many of the couples actually chose carbanas. Hence i can't find related photos for reference. Still i decided to go for courtyard cos i wanted a more formal setting with seats for my guests. For carbanas, it will be more casual setting, with guests all standing around the pavilion. Anyway really depend on what you prefer.

My solemnizer is Mr Goh Chee Kok. I find him very patient and he looks very 慈祥 when he was my fren's solemnizer. So we decided to invite him too.

Will PM you my PG contact.
 
Hi Garfield,

Not sure if you had found out but the package pricing for Carlton's 2009 has just been release... the price has increased quite abit actually. Much more than I expected.

Hi-Tea: $1688++ (30pax), $50++ for additional pax
Lunch: $1888++ (30pax), $65++ for additional pax

Quite a significant increase from last year... the Hi-tea package itself already difference of 300bucks without taxes....
 
Hi All,

Rach: Thanks for the info

Natsu_Yuki: i reckon it is due to the extension of the hotel and maybe that price is for the new ballroom? you may want to check with Rose (the lady whom i alias with)
 
nope it's the exact same place if I read the thread properly. Usage of any one of the 3 place and buffet at esplanade
happy.gif


So I reckon that should be be older part of the hotel and I understand from them that extension is delayed too.
 
ya it is... everything is increasing prices...

ya do go and take a look soon but yours is in 2009 right? so I think cost wise should be the same.

I am arranging with them to confirm the dates now =)
 
mine in feb 09. so no worries about yours =)

good to settle early so that you can get another thing of your mind.

As for the stuffs we can bargain for, I'm not sure either.
