For those who had their wedding at Carlton, usually there will be a montage before the 1st march in right? As Carlton's is a manual screen, anyone did a 2nd video (wedding highlights) before the 2nd march in? As I was thinking of doing that, but seems like kind of difficult as need to set up the projector again.

hi, the screens are the set up manually? so they will be doing the setting up behind the MC while they are talking? that's so obvious....
i wasnt told abt it when i signed up. =|

sounds very troublesome...
my coordinator said need to reset the projector settings if there is a 2nd...
mayb i will juz flash the supposed montage pics when the ballroom is open for guests to enter - to keep guest 'entertain'...then will show the highlights before the 1st march in...at least juz 1 setup...save all the hassle

Eugene, i bring the cards n let AD imaging print the cards. the printing quality is pretty good.. spended 160+ ( have to pay 7% GST) for it.
i also just went for the food tasting yesterdae. tried the dishes as follow:
a) suckling pig combination - pretty nicely done especially char siew. however the jellyfish was salty.
b) sharkfin with conpoy and mushroom - i feel like drinking mushroom soup because too many mushroom liao.
c) prawn with cashew nuts + red/green pepper- good!
d) garoupa in hk style- fish overcooked .
e) conpoy with brocolli- too little conpoy. cant see anything. so change to scallop with broccoli.
f) sliced abalone with sea cucumber and sprinach- abalone very chewy
g) roasted chicken- good too!
h) ee fu noodle- nicely done
i) longan with sea coconut and aloe vera- good too!
by the way, AD serving will be smaller or not? the serving portion for food tasting is big le.. we are all very full before the 6 dish come liao.

wah...the screens & projectors so mahuan 1 ah?
actually when i signed up e sales guy told me can put 2 projectors (and he gave me that perk). den i was told when tey sent me the contract that put 2 projectors may have problems cos it may hinder guest movement. hopefully 2 projectors is less of a hassel, ie: put it there and leave it.
wana reduce the hassel on tt day =|

I've requested for extra projector screen. Intend to display all my ROM, PS & whatever relevant during the reception period.
Actually i'm also worried on the blocking of pillars when some guests can't see the projector screen on the stage also. Pretty sad but bo bian liao...Got to accept this fact....Hope they can get a bigger portable projector screen

hello there, if really dun like pillar,then shdnt choose/ consider it in the 1st place.
like go5 has mentioned, u cant please everyone too.
for me, i will be having 33 tables. surely will have some pple blocked by pillars. but no choice right. furthermore, its common to have pillar in the ballroom.
what can be done is to shift the tables around to minimise the blockage only.
this is my opinion la.

Initially i'm pretty concern on the pillars too.
Got bothered abt them...
But ya...if dun like, shdnt hv consider the place at first.
Got to learn that can't please everyone lor.
Well I'm trying...
Other than the pillars, go5 how's the food during the wedding?
Do you mind sending the pix u've taken?
My email is [email protected]
Thanks!

Hey all,
I've held my wedding at Carlton in Nov 07.
Just thought i'll share my experience. I had 32 +2 tables in all. 99% of my invited guests turned up. There were about 4 tables being affected by the pillars.
But rest assured, your guests will move themselves. A few of my guests came closer to the aisle during both our march ins. For us, we had our guests seated during our march in, so this can minimize the blockage in viewing too.
And also, when there's people moving to the aisle, it'll not look messy.
As for the food, we were lucky. Were told that one of the famous Hong Kong chef is in town that week. So he was the one who handled our dishes. All my guests commented it was great. Some even said it's the best banquet food they've eaten. Even if that chef was not around during our food tasting, we didn't have much complaints too. So i guess Wah Lok food is something you dun have to worry.
The projector screen i think quite standard size la. But it's definitely clear... so no worries. The staff are quite fast in setting up and removing the screens. For wedding couples, you're not around when they set up or remove anyway. But definitely no disruptions to the guests since they will be enjoying the food.
And they are really quite fast la...
The stage wise, i think i had about 30 people on for the toasting and it was just right.
All in all... my experience with Carlton was great. So i guess you guys dun have to worry!
Have a nice wedding yeah? Like what go5 mentioned, you can't please everyone. Remember, it's your wedding. People should please your instead. Hah!
BTW go5, i recommend my AD photographer. He's great! I like the photos very much though his pricing is on the high side. About 2.5k-3k. You can take a look at his website.

Hi go5,
Yup, we had our guests seated for both our march ins coz we wanted them to be comfortable and save the hassel of standing up and sitting down repeatedly like what we usually experience at other weddings. We ourselves dread the standing up and sitting down coz sometiems u tend to hit the other tables' chairs and all. hah... So we just did some adjustments to our emcee speech to request for guests to be seated lor.
Our guests only stood up once throughout the wedding, that was during the toasting.
