Hi Katherine,
What a waste, we could have share our decoration cost ! What the hotel will provide is the Dining table centerpieces and Buffet counter flowers. If you want more decoration ie balloons & extra decor for the stage, you need to get your own suppliers. The party will cost $68 +++ per person but the spread esp the dessert spread is really gd ! The place looks really cosy and romantic at nite ... just rite for a party of 80 friens ...my guests can go out & take their drinks near to the pool.
I will prob get my own balloons decoration & band .... that's why I tot of sharing out these fixed cost with other BTB on 24 or 26 Sep. Do consider !

Katherine - i am thinking of s 2 to 3 person band only, so it will cost abt $500 to $700 only.
My friens have give me a few contacts and I am still deciding ....
Sweets - thks for the reassurance on the desserts, b/w, is it possible for you to email your dessert menu to me at [email protected]
i haven't got down to choosing the ones i want. thks !

hi Jen,
no idea about budget, cos dun know wat's the norm rate like..but i gotten a quote from a caterer, they quote $1400 for a 4 person band, not stroller, so i also dun know stroller how much, maybe for 2 person band, not more than $600?? is tat reasonable or too much??

hi dkny,
conrad is a nice place... the poolside u can choose to do either indoor or outdoor. best is u give the catering sales a call and get them to show to you to discuss further.
jennifer is my co-ord in conrad. she's quite friendly. i think some gals in this forum also said she's nice.

hi dkny,
at the poolside of conrad, there's 2 places. 1 is a sheltered area located at the right side of the pool when u enter the door. that place is al-fresco & is non-aircon. But it can hold more people. This place is good for dinner only or else noon time very hot...
The other one, indoor, is actually a restaurant that conrad used to serve breakfast to their guests. they can convert this place to become a small wedding reception too. This one, if you look out, you will see the pool directly in front of you. it is airconditioned. the last time I discussed with my co-ord, she said can use both places together for the poolside reception. But i prefer to use their ballroom instead cos mine is in the afternoon. oso like have to be at 2 places at 1 time oso a bit "xiong" for the bride la, i feel.
food wise.. hehe i dunno leh. but so far reviews from my frens who've attended wedding there said that conrad's food is very good. this forum i read also alot of pp very happy with their food, ambience and service. so i think no need to worry too much.

oso doing round table style. i've looked at their actual wedding decor cos jennifer asked me & FH to take a look after dis couple were done with their tea reception in the ballroom. it was quite nice. the ballroom is really grand cos is oso exclusive 2 ur function only. won't have incidences of guest walking into the wrong ballroom cos got 2 couples having wedding at same time...
i'm doing a tea reception with conrad actually.
Hi i am new here ! am interested in CONRAD too...

I've went to buffet by pool side wedding before..and yes it is very beautiful. But got to be careful about the food..as I dun think they really top up as often. Middle of the dinner, i think they stop topping up the food. Overall, it is still a very beautiful wedding. Capacity inside the cafe is only 80 person..but ur guest can choose to take up outdoor seats by the swimming pool.
hi warrmead,
the date tat we have in mind is 13th march 2005...talk to my hubby already, we may change to 20th march instead, better to give ourselves more options even if at the end, we dun choose conrad....
wat do u mean by min guranteed not flexible?? as in i must guranteed 100 guests if tat is their min??

hi katherine,
oic.. my date is supposed to be a very popular date too, for dinner especially. not sure what's so special of the date cos we're not particular. my hubby's mum picked the date for us one so we just went along.
yep, that's what i meant. for example, if my budget is $50 per head, then they might ask for a min guarentee of 150 people. from my experience, the higher the minimum, the better price they offer cos there's economy of scale.
like in the case of Merchant Court, their minimum was 200 but the price per head is only $30-ish. But the minute you lower the min to say 150, the price shoots up cosiderably. This was the case with all the hotels we met up.
for buffet most hotels has a min no. of pax. and this will be charged to you even if the no. of guest that tun up falls short of the min guranteed.

Hi Katherine,
Sorry, been missing for a while. The band I have in mind plays mainly jazz music and they do have instruments like saxophonist, guitarist, bass etc
Cost is abt $500 to $800 depending on how much people you need.
Weoseek - I am having my poolside reception in the cafe in Sep 2004. You are rite, the cafe can only hold max 80 persons but I think it is a very cosy place and I prefer it better than the open place they have outside. From what I know, this is the place they use to hold a lot of press conference for filmstars. Is the flower decoration
that they do for the wedding nice ? And do the couple has champaign pouring ceremony or cake cutting ceremony ?
For the other brides considering this venue, I know that the food is frm the same chef as Oscars, so the food is pretty gd. The price that I paid at $68+++ is pretty reasonable for a sat evening.

Jen Sia,
I saw a lot of balloons when I step into the cafe..very beatiful..but forgot about if there is any flowers..Of all the wedding I've been, it is the one that left me most deep impression. The bride and groom's table is longer square table..Very nicely decorated.
There is almost no march in, bride just step into cafe that's it...Yup, there is champaige pooring, cake cutting, and cheers session. Conrad uses some fruits like longan, grapes to decorate the "fruit corner" becos not enuff fruit, in the end i saw ppl even remove the decorations to makan. hehe..
I heard the consumption of wine from your guest will naturally goes up at that romantic and cosy environment. As that friend of mine also only had 80 guest...But they consume 5 carton.
Overall, it is still the nicest wedding of attended so far.

hi katherine,
we've actually booked with conrad already. my boss who knows them helped to pull a bit of strings u see. hehe. so in a way they will certainly cater to our "demands". but we're not that unreasonable also la. we know that for this kind of 5 star, u cannot ask for the sky also.
we happy with what they offer so no issue on the budget and min pax for us cos they accomodated to our request.
but sorry, will not be able to reveal on what I got cos is a special deal in a way. but actually also didn't alot more things. just budget wise and min pax they actually made it abit more flexible us.

hi katherine,

FYI, their website is: www.secretgarden.com.sg

hi katherine,
i think you can do that. or you may wish to call them up first before you mail them the floorplan. my hubby made a call to secretgarden before and i think the lady boss is called jaslyn or something. you're doing your wedding on cruise ship? that's so cool...

hi serena,
i believed the budget/head may be more applicable to buffet style reception. hotels normally cater buffet for lunch and tea. they will also have sit-down 8/9 course cantonese lunch, which normally is cheaper than dinner price.
cantonese style normally they count by per table. they might oso have a min no. of tables for a certain price range.
