Hi jazzyjas,
U can call Eric and arrange to meet him... but usu the meeting wif him is v late just one wk before ur AD as u can only confirm the no. of tables nearer the AD. U need to confirm th eno. of tables, no of muslim/ vegetarian, the colour of table cloth, the floral arrangement type, the guest scroll, ang bao box if any, any requirements to borrow the audio cable to connect to ur laptop and ur projector for slideshow.., the songs for march in, first dish.
On ur AD around 6pm, he will arrange his co-ordinator to meet up wif ur hb for briefing.... It is better if u can appoint a friend to be ur overall in charge (OIC). Ur OIC can then liaise wif their co-ordinator on the details and timing...

Hi jazz,
U can call him to ask abt the availablity of tose things before u meet him....
Actually the floral part i use standard one.... no special requests....
But they do not provide the projector so u may wan to test ur projector and notebook wif his cable to see if the connection works.... I did that exactly one wk before my AD... but one thing.. eric likes to tell u he cant guarantee that the cable can work....and things like that cos the cable is v old liao... but still I took the risk and luckily everthing went fine.. Actually he v experienced one... just that he doesnt wan to be held liable if things dun work so he tell u things like he cannot make sure it works, etc..

hi fanyong,
i'm also considering CC. AD is july 05. can share your pic? can email me at [email protected]
would like to check with you whether will they provide different theme for selection? do you have any idea if they have the options to upgrade the deluxe room to a suite? i find their room is rather small compare to others who offer bridal suite.
may i ask did your dinner manager to recover from ang pao? what is the average amout? just wondering if there are people who will give restaurant rate coz CC is a restaurant. sorry that ask this question coz i'm on budget wedding.

Hi jean,
They dun have many themes... in fact only two... either all white or white and green as table cloth....VIP table only two colours to choose from either red or gold... I find their theme (gold for VIP and white and green for the rest) nice...
Though the food of CC is from restuarant but ur wedding is held at the ballroom in the hotel hence their rate is hotel rate. (in fact u get the best of both worlds as some hotel ambience nice but food sucks... for CC food is good cos Tung Lok and u get the ballroom setting, isnt that good?)... unless u wan to hav ur wedding in Tung Lok other restuarants which may be cheaper as they do not have ballroom. Whether recover depend on the pple coming to ur wedding whether relatives and friends are generous or not... Another factor is whether u need to give ur mother some tables i.e. the ang bao money will be given to her instead of for u to cover the cost.. so it depends on individuals... For my case as my hubby relatives v generous so I have no prob covering the cost.
Another suggestion is that you can hold ur wedding on a weekday instead of weekend then it is cheaper...I think u shld quickly decide where to book ur banquet liao since ur AD is Jul next yr as most pple usu book one yr in advance... Just my two cents worth....
Will e-mail u the photos later..

Hi jean,
tks.... I engage prof photographer....
Overall, CC is quite good.... my only bad comments are as stated above.... I didnt have to worry much abt the setting etc cos I leave it to CC.... only thing is that their waiter service not good at the tables at the corner.... VIP service v good though... think most hotels are like that one... ambience wise quite good... but CC can only take max 32 tables cos ballroom not big...
Food is good, esp the fish.... Overall comments from guest is good...

Hi gals, i better advise u all not to rent projector from the hotels. My hotel actually quoted me for $350!!!. Luckily i managed to get it at $280.00 total for 2 projectors which includes setup, delivery and cables. U can msg me if u wan the contact or email me at [email protected] and i will be glad to share!!
Cheers

Hi jean,
I think i took the superior package... I didnt change the sea bass cos the fish tastes nice... u can wait till the food tasting session to decide what u wan to change... cos ur family will also be there to judge their food.. But do note that some changes will incur additional charges..eg the type of fish, changing first dish to suckling pig, etc.. But if the change is on the way it is cooked then there shouldnt be more charges.. eg changing steamed fish to fried fish etc..

just some personal comments to share...i just had my banquet in oct at CC using the hotel ballroom. Not very satisfied with their service. Maybe its becos there's 2 wedding on the same nite (1 sat ballroom & 1 at restaurant), friend feedback to me that like not enough waiter/waitress...have to wait v long to refill drink. One waiter even spill drink on one of my relative....sign! Their mic no good also...sometimes can hear sometimes cannot, very irritating!!
Then 1 more thing, dummy wedding cake normally have a hole where u can put your knife in (to pretend that we r cutting the cake)...but their cake don't have. Then the bears ontop the cake in very ackward position...very funny leh.
Their bridal suite is big & lighting is ok. If u want to book extra room, u can arrange with eric to hv the extra room on the same floor as the bridal suite.
One week before my AD, i am suppose to call eric to confirm the no of tables. But he is on 1 wk leave & the hotel staff told me that i can only confirm with him. Just imagine how panic i was.

hi jazzyjas,
sorry to scare u (if i did). Just want to share so that u gals may take note of some of the things.
The hotel does not provide real wedding cake..theirs is a dummy cake. They also don't give any cake after the event. Will try to post a pic of the dummy cake here.

Hi all,
I just booked my banquet at CC in Sep next year, and was pleasantly surprised that they are charging weekday price for wedding on Friday. Paid deposit of $2,100 for minimum 25 tables, either Deluxe or Prestige package.
Some concessions given are:
• Free flow of beer;
• Corkage waived for both hard liquor and wine;
• For ‘Deluxe’, 1 night stay at so-called suite with breakfast;
• For ‘Prestige’, 2 night stay at so-called suite with breakfast (note – upgrade to executive suite at S$100++ per night);
• Complimentary parking for 20% of confirmed attendance (+10 extra pieces);
• Complimentary food tasting for 10 (weekday, and 3-day advance notice);
• 100% invitation card;
• All seats with cover (white);
• Chocolate for all guests;
• Muslim food (6-course) at $54++ per head (regardless of package taken, price remains); and
• Waiter to guest ratio at about 2:3 (i.e. 2 service personnel covering 3 tables).
Agree with previous postings seen, Eric is quite an expressionless person but nevertheless very experienced. He is actually quite helpful, brought us to view the suite and offered us drinks.
Did not manage to get much extra concessions, guess the package offered (weekday price, free flow beer, etc) is quite attractive by itself. Not to be deterred, I will make getting extra concession a ‘continuous struggle’. Ha ha.
Was taken aback when told by Eric that he would mail us the contract, instead of signing on the spot. Also, was told that he would only contact us 7 days before the wedding. Guess have to be more proactive on our part.
Will provide a review / preview nearer to my AD (or after).
Btw, am quite concerned with the possible parking space constraints. Anyone has any feedback on this?
Cheers and best regards.

Hi Suelynn,
Prices and details of the various packages are available at Tunglok group’s website (www.tunglok.com). Please see the followings which are extracted from the said website:
WEDDING HI TEA — $33.00 per person/- per table
Superior Wedding Dinner Menu — WEEKDAY $540.00 / WEEKEND $600/- per table
Prestige Wedding Dinner Menu — WEEKDAY $675 / WEEKEND $750/- per table
Deluxe Wedding Dinner Menu — WEEKDAY $612 / WEEKEND $680/- per table
The net price is obtained by multiplying the above by 1.06. For instance, the “Prestige” wedding menu for a weekday would cost about S$720 (i.e. 675 * 1.06 = S$715.50, no service charge). I’ve yet decided between Prestige and Deluxe. For prestige, it comes with red garoupa and sliced abalone (among other items), which are not included in the deluxe package. These are items that my parents apparently are keen on.
One of my friends commented that these prices are considered relatively high for a restaurant package (he is also holding his wedding next year, thus, quite in the know about these things). However, this is quite a good deal considering that we will be getting a ballroom (albeit a small and pretty aged one) and good food (from tunglok, plus the good reviews seen so far). The weekday charge for a Friday and the absence of service charge are pretty strong reasons that this is a value for money package.
Anyway, do get the package details from Eric, as he stated more details (and concessions) than those reflected at the Tunglok’s website.
Cheers.

hihi,
Am very interested in CC as well. So hey, do u guys mean to say no projectors avail for use? Is the ballroom inside CC? Heard the lighting is quite dim though.
fanyong: did ur takings cover the cost of the dinner since the price is quite high for a resto.
Oh, another thing is, do u think they can hold solemnization in CC? Are there any extra charges for this?

Hi karen,
For my case, we manage to cover the costs as my hubby relatives quite generous... Actually it deps on whether relatives are generous or not cos friends usu know how to "zuo ren".... It is more of the relatives...
Their ballroom is not inside CC.... though restuarant and ballroom are on the same level. Regarding the solemnisation, I think it shouldnt be a prob... U can tok to Eric abt this.

Hi maiden,
Yap I had my wedding at CC... The ceiling is quite low and the ballroom is rectangular shaped with the stage a the middle of the length.... so some guests at the sides cannot see the slideshow at the stage.. Overall comment is food is good.... ambience wise may not be so grand due to the low ceiling but then i think food is a v impt factor as most guests r there to eat.
If u wan I can send u my pics..... Let me know ur e-mail addy.

Hi maiden n fanyong,

but im puzzled tho'- CC is a restaurant rite? but if u hold a wedding banquet, then they have a ballroom for u? in CC itself? coz i went to tunglok website, and found CC ambience quite good, well at least not so typically chinese style.
i also feel that food is impt. Err, slideshow cannot be raised further so tat back cn see? mm..preferably aisle is long lah.
hi fanyong: cn see pix as well? my email is [email protected]
