hi minibu,
when i went for the hotel visit, i greeting pauline with a smile (courtesy rite). she gimme the impression that she's tired and sianzz but well, fine. it was ok when i viewed the pacific ballroom at level 1. then when we were at level 2 to view the ocean ballroom, i asked more questions abt the ballroom and she answered like she is in a rush. nevermind. then after we walked out, i expect her to sit me somewhere and then go thru the package with us rite? i tell you she didnt lor! me & my bf were literally standing by the escalator while we asked her general questions abt the wine lah, corkage fee etc. she is very rigid and cold. i wrote in a long email to complain to the director but apparently that keven did not get back to me also. sucks sucks! now i wanna retrieve the email but i think i deleted away already. hehe...
so, maybe i shd start a thread on blacklisted hotels and coordinators! wahahhahhh~

hi minssy,
abit same experience as u...my story:
her colleague arrange for me to meet her 7pm, she din even bother to call me for confirmation...colleague say she will wait for us at the reception counter but no sign of her when we reach on-the-dot...receptionist called her, say coming coming but us waiting abt 15mins, receptionist called her again, then finally she appear...20mins later...NO apologies!!!
brought us to see the level 2 ballroom, when enquire abt the ballroom downstairs, she brush us off by saying that ballroom requires at least 35 tables...so ok loh, dun see dun see loh...
when briefing us at the table, hp ringing, eyes not focus on us...then very brief run through then finito...
so verdict, she or panpac will not get our biz..hahhaaaa....

hi Serene,
mi back to discuss abt carlton again...meet up wif them 3 wk ago..like i told u my AD will only b in jan'06 but thought if i booked wif them dis year they can actually base on 2005 package price for me but too bad they say will increased leh..though my colleague also told mi if i signed contract they should base on the price now and will not increase. BTW r u bringing any hard liquor?? izzit duty free or duty paid??
Hi Minibu,
Can i check wif u as u mentioned you have reserved wif carlton rite so u hv yet to signed contract wif them rite??? Do you need to confirmed your booking within a week after you reserve your date?? dat is if u reserved wif them today by next friday you have to confirmed your booking??

Hi jam,
ya...they need u to confirm with them within 1 week..if reserved today, then next friday must confirm loh...me already confirmed with them, signed contract & paid deposit liao...
But if ur date is weekday, maybe can drag confirmation if nobody is eyeing the same date as u. However, if it's weekend date then u better confirm fast (within 1 week)....

Hi Jam,
Just to give you my 2 cents worth, if you are really keen on the hotel of your choice you should try and confirm it within a week cause hot dates on a weekend tend to get snapped up easily. As for liquor the hotel allows you to bring your own but have to be duty paid and for wine they waive corkage.

Hi Damsel,
You may want to call up Carlton's reservations and get a corporate account to book for them. It's cheaper that way I think.

Hi Jo,
In terms of service by the co-ordinators, Carlton receives my thumbs up. As my AD is not over yet, I can't assess on the dinner service as well as food, though I heard that food at Carlton is much better as it's by the restaurant, Wah Lok. As for ambience, I prefer Amara for its nice reception area.

Hi erkerk
I had resend the file again..my bride VIP table only seats 5 ppl...so its quite "ugly" maybe u can tok to ur HB and see if can rearrange lor..the most important advice is "just enjoy yourself dat day"...let ur HB worry about the running of the banquet...
Not sure how many ppl can stand on the stage...me got about 12 ppl on stage only..
U need to get ready songs for ur 1st n 2nd march in...1st dish presentation can get from the hotel..or u can source ur own...I used "explosive" from Bond...think its quite nice..and then u also have to find songs to play throughout the dinner...
Diana very nice..she also called me just now to tell me she is leaving...

hi serene, my on 30 Jun
, a pity that our AD so close otherwise will 'thick skin' ask u to invite me so that I can hv a pre-view before my AD
Saw from above post damsel's AD is near, do u know when? Oh...no 1 call me leh, probably Diana's leaving so she will let the new coordinator call me?...me thinking to call after CNY. Er...we must cfm no of tbl before picking up the cards?
hi zhu zhu, strange, I still hvn't receive yr file, hv send you a PM. My HB super busy these day, guess I have to 'start' it then let him take over. Now a bit headache on the 2 VIP tables, I think I will have either only 1 just for the elderly and us or 3 VIP tbl to accommodate all both side immediate family members. Do you think they allow to put 3 VIPs tbl? oh, u have got 12 pax standing on stage...Thks, I hv to start counting..hehehe. What abt your Yum seng brothers, any place for them to stand below the stage? Omg, must prepare all the songs by ourself *faint* did you have a short of long L march in?
for the many questions.

Hi Erkerk,
heehee if you like, u can pop over and see lah....just dun treat it like u going for banquet lah....just to see the setup etc lor
Diana called me to inform me that she's leaving....and that the new co-ordinator will call me when he/she reports for work......
u have to roughly confirm the no. of tables then you know how many cards to take mah...if you got extra tables, and you got 70% for cards...they know what no. to multiply by...

hi serene, so kind of u, thks
actually there was a wedding at the smaller function room when I went to sign the contract. I pai say to go in but the banquet mgr open the door and let me in then every1 look up...
. I hope the new coordinator will call me soon. Just as what I hv guess, ya, they need to count 70% hor. I will check with my relatives on the attendance, hope can confirm no. of pax after CNY to collect the invitation card.
