hi jolene,

really? not many people would choose a weekday for their AD. as for me, boh pian bcos hotel was not available on 21 or 22nd. i also had to respect my MIL's wishes for an auspicious date!

hey syt,

so u r the one hvg ur wedding this sat! I met Lavish yesterday and they mention ur wedding! must be a grand affair! Congrats!

hi SL,

i was originally considering CDCS but heard a lot of not so good comments abt food and service so decided to give them a miss. but i must say that their package is a good deal.

hi js

I'm also reading a book "The Power of A Positive Wife"....trying hard to get started on it with so many things to do! :p

kysha... really? hmmm... yea it is a good deal... tight budget... guess must compromise somewhere... =(

btw, when should i start sending out invites? my dad is really weird (in a nice way). he says it is a lost of face for him to ask his friends to rsvp. so i'm really praying hard that with the invites sent out they will either zi dong rsvp or at least have the decency to turn up!

daddy also grumbled alot about weekday... but unless zonkkie gives up her slot (hahaha.. kidding...) we'll have to settle for weekday. =)

SL, with the price of wedding banquet these days, no choice but need people to rsvp.

Well, actually, some people are even more practical these days. Call up the guest first and confirm if they are coming before sending out the invite. Else like my friend, a lot of people could not attend the banquet after invites sent out. The reprint cost quite a lot, plus need to top up for the cards since exceed the 60/70% of guests that hotels give.

Hi all,
I'm new on this thread. My AD is on 8/10/2005. Will be having solemnisation in church and dinner at Grand Copthorne. The rest...I am still sourcing.

Hi syt,
Do give us feedback about your caterer after your BIG DAY. Is Lavish catering,rite? I am thinking of using them too.

Hi Kysha,
Mind sharing how your experience with Lavish Catering. Are they helpful?

Hi all Christian brides-to-be,
I'm getting married on 11th June. Am also looking for catering service any recommendation?

syt

i think u're the one bcos they said they r only doing 2 functions that day. One is a wedding and the other is a corporate function. The corporate function is a big one so they do not want to spread their resources thin by taking in too many jobs. Tot that was quite professional of them to maintain their service standards.

hi gentlegiant

yes, lavish is helpful and they respond quite fast to my queries. I should be going for them for my lunch reception.

hihi ivy

yes, me from CHC svc 4!
happy.gif
u getting married in May too?

SL

maybe you should check out the CDCS thread to find out more. actually, i've also heard a couple of good comments from 2 friends who have tried them b4. But, that was about 2 years back.

js

hi adyline

dont really know what kind of buffet you are looking into, but will like to recommend Neo Garden to you. i first tasted their food (9 dishes - beehoon, etc) at my cousin's guo da li. They do provide high-tea buffet, etc.

URL : www.neogarden.com.sg (should be correct)

Otherwise, you can consider Kriston (but steeper price).

hope this has been useful to you.

mehmeh, that would be so good! thanks! [email protected]

in a way, i really havent done much prep. no caterer, no rings, no actual day schedule, dunno who to do exhortation, havent contacted helpers, no renovation yet, no honeymoon plans yet, havent even paid deposit for hotel yet too! we just settled on a photographer 3 days ago! haha... *headache*

syt... so how was your wedding? tell us all about it! my church ceremony will be at Grace Methodist Church coz FH is from there and it is really a very lovely church. =)

haha... SL, i was calling up churches a few days ago and called Grace Methodist as well. They said that their member has already booked on 25th June... i guess its you then.

anyway, don't need to worry. Everything will fall in place.

haha... this is so funny. =) yea it has to be me then. but i havent paid the deposit coz the forms are so lengthy my FH and i just chucked them aside! hee!

i really hope everything will fall into place somehow! =P

Hi sisters-in-christ,
Do you think that it would be nice if I get my Rev to say blesings for us during the AD dinner? Maybe after we first march-in? Do we have to give ang-pow? How much is advisable? Pls email me at [email protected]

hi girls

does anyone have any suggestions for a bubbly and chirpy match out song? the part where the couple is declared Mr and Mrs something and they walk out of church while their guests throw confetti?

thanks!

helen, i have no idea how much ang pao to give yet. =P sorry...

Hi Tin Tin,
Still sourcing for the marriage prep course...

Hi Helen,
Erm, have been to a few Christian's weddings.. it's quite a normal practice to get the Rev to give his blessings before dinner starts. Not too sure about how much for the angpow though :p

Hi Ivy/SL,
I went to view Grace Methodist Church before too. Heard they don't allow bookings for the months of Nov and Dec 2005 (which was my AD) and also because the reception area only caters for much lesser pple (abt 100plus) than the the sanctuary (max 400) but must admit the walk in will be very nice and sweet with the curtains and sloping aisle...

Hi Teng

Hi Ivy,
Mine is 17th and 18th Dec 2005

Settled my banquet venue and bridal shop...
now confirming on my church for Holy Matrimony cos may not be using our own church. The rest just bits here and there...

Now thinking of caterers too.. deciding on

-Mum's kitchen (free invitation cards provided for my intended number of guests)
-Lavish Dine for their set-up,
-Continental for their themed set-ups (but will be quite costly.. above $20 per head)

haiz, headache ah!! Anyone has comments on the above?

hi SL

thanks for replying. saw the pic as well. Infact, i took one at the door, it's a direct view of the cross, but didn't have time to upload into my pc yet...

can i ask will you be doing the chinese banquet? if not, what will you be doing in its place?

Hi Teng

Do you mean Continental = CDCS? if so, my FH recommends it, cos he used to work there. Yup, prc tends to be steeper...
 
X

xocross

Member
hi ivy!
your FH used to work in CDCS? i'm thinking of that coz their price is really a good deal! so he recommends that? =) yay! i'm happy!

i'll be doing banquet. =) my friend who is not is inviting close friends to a pub to chill out. another had lunch buffet after church ceremony while others normally just end with the usual tea reception after church ceremony. hope that helped!

btw Teng, thanks for compiling the list. =) just in case you might upload it again another time, my BS is Emmanuel B. Couture while photographer is Robin Photography. Honeymoon Korea/Taiwan. Lovenest, Bukit Timah.

Thanks!

hi ivy

banquets need not be boring.

Meritus Mandarin extended the ballroom til 1am for us (and ours is weekday dinner) and they will also put together a dance floor so that we can bring in our own live band to jam! it's gonna be a blast (hopefully)! some of my friends are already going to take leave the next day. i'm really touched by that. =)

i'm thinking of playing games too at my church wedding. but then 300 plus guests can get pretty chaotic. haha... it's just a thot.

hope you'll come up with real cool ideas to make your wedding not only memorable to you but also to your guests!

Hi SL,

The live band sounds cool! Where are you getting the band from and what kinda music? I may also be getting a band in but considering the costs and logistics of getting the equipment in. Other than the piano (which may not be in tune), any idea what other equipment Meritus Mandarin can provide?
 
X

xocross

Member
hee... i really dunno yet. i reckon the band will have their own instruments coz the band my FH is putting together is his jamming buddies whom he claims are the "four or more heavenly kings". so they are supposed to be really good... and they better be! hahahahahaha... i've so much confidence in my FH sometimes it amazes me...
