oh... then in that case, i think i will not have a montage running in the background.... cos it will be too much of a hassle to have to set up and dismantle for 2nd march in
thanks for the advice
thanks for the advice
Hi KK,
ic, ic, Thks
Really appreciate your gd advise
Hi Serene,
Yup, my coordinator is Kelvin, find him quite nice. Sometime I email him after office hour and he still return call even at 7pm. If I email him in the morning, he will call during lunch time, I guessed he is thoughtful for not calling during office hour that might not be so convenient for us to discuss personal matter. My max is 40 tables, anyway both ours below so no worries
Hi Hamster_gal,
I enquired abt the stage earlier too
, heard is ok to have 10-12 pax, won't collapse but more ppl cramp lor..I happened to see the projector, they use a portable 2 layer trolley to place it, think the 2nd layer is for the video player if you need, screen also portable type with 3 'leg stand', they will put the screen on the stage then remove it just before your march in.
Hi Lindy,
oh dear, they will take some time to 'dismantle' the screen? I tot they can just carry it and exit from the side door, as for the projector trolley, just roll it off from the aisle and put it at the side. you will have a long march in too
which table will be blocked by the pillars? me also want to avoid it..
BTW, any gals exploring to put the portable screen at the other end of the ballrm(meaning from where we start to march in) instead of on the stage. we will have a few tables there but me thinking to empty the center tbl to put the screen but the operation staff I saw the other day said everyone will be focusing on the stage so it is more appropriate to put on the stage..

hi erkerk,
i think it's a good idea to put it at the back of the ballroom cos i intend to play a short video clip just before my 1st march in..... so everyone's attention will already be at the back when i march in...
i saw the floor plan and i think i can keep the back area empty since i only have around 30 tables (2 stand-by)
but i worried that the 3-leg stand is not high enough, that's why need to put screen on stage so everyone can see the screen
hi geberra,
my contract states that there will be 6 fresh flower stands along the isle.... as for the stage, i believe it will be what's shown during the bridal show last year... hmmm... i think it looks like flowers and leaves draped over a wooden frame (hope u understand what i mean)....

hi serene,
yup.... after i called him up about the wrong contract sent to me, he apologized and sent me the revised copy.... when i signed ip and mailed back to him, he also gave me a call to reassure me that he has received it. he also told me that he will get back to me again about 6 months before my AD.....
i think this is good service from Kelvin

hi erkerk,
you can have a look at the floor plan and pick out those tables behind the tables if possible.
i cannot remember which are the tables. need to go down to resurvey again if i have the time or estimate based on floor plan.
i cannot remember how they recover the projector and the screen. probably i will check with april (coordinator) and get back.
anyone's coordinator is same as me?

hi gals,
busy these few days.hardly got chance to "breathe" heehee...
Serene,
Cannot afford to put on too much weight. haha...
but then, can't help it. now eat more than regular meals. life is good...
For the projector, they put mine at the left side of the stage during the entire dinner. din block anything.
Lindy,
You mean to deco with balloons for the entrance, stage or the whole ballrooms.
Bear in mind. the celling is not high. so might make the whole room look more cramp.

Hi Hamster_gal,
I am choosing the Scent of love Menu 2 and changing the rice to noodles. Others remain but I have yet to go for the food tasting
The room rate is $155+++ or whatever is the current promotion available at Carlton.
Hi KK,
Aiya, now must concentrate on making BB, not dieting lah...kekeke
You mean they left the projector there in the Empress Ballroom?

Serene,
Haha... how come you know...
but think should lose some weight before pregnant. when are you planning?
Yah.. they say very disruptive if move the screen. and partly becoz I use the screen for the second march-in so kind of leaving the screen the as a best choice. but the hotel still screen the pix on the screen. so something like "deco purpose".
Hamster_gal,
There is no special rate for us even if we are going to have our dinner there. so it is going to be the normal rate.

Hi KK,
heehee true true....must lose weight before pregnant, more healthy that way too....
Me not planning so early....after AD then see how...let nature take its course I guess.
KK, actually that's a good idea, the pic just leave on the screen as a deco purpose
Diana told me previously that the price is $155+++ or any current promo rate....so hamster_gal, you may want to check with your co-ordinator

thanks for the info

hi hamster_gal,
My on 30 June
. The projector will be on a double layer trolley, think it will be place on 1/4 of aisle, start of the 2 pillars(hope you can understand my description). guess they can conviently roll it aside when lights are out for us to match in..
Hi KK,
U didn't remove the screen throughout the banquet? so it's 'blocking' the stage back drops?
My on 30 June
Hi KK,

I tin for KK one, she is at esplanade room, different from mine. i am at empress room. cannot put at the left side. cos it will be block by pillars.
kk: thanks for your advice, will have to go down again to view the place and decide on wat to do. haha. i intend to go during mid may. is it too late? my wedding is in mid june.
btw, check with the coordinator liao, recovering of the projector before the 2nd march in seems ok. not very difficult. cos they will play one song b4 you march in, so during that time, they will recover the projector. she mention it is the coordination between the mc and the operation manager.

Hi Lindy,
When's your wedding?
Seems like there's quite a few brides here who have wedding in June 2005
I will be having mine in the Empress room as well. If I didn't remember wrongly, Diana did tell me that they will remove the trolley (projector) when they dimmed the lights so that the attention is on the march in.
I guess like what Lindy said, it's a matter of co-ordination work that night

Hi Erkerk
Sorry just came back from Honeymoon. As KK had replied for me...my wedding was in Dec...and no I did not pay extra for the deco? I think what they had was pretty sufficient..
Hi Serene
I had the projector outside the ballroom..but they actually put it at the other end (Opp the lift)...so not alot of ppl saw it..but no big deal lar

i did ask the coordinator. you can have 2 choices, either place the projector outside the ballroom or inside the ballroom. the only difference is when you place outside, there is no music accompanied even thot your montage have music one.
serene: mine is on 19 june, a bit stress up. cos a few things haven settle. heehe. how abt u?
