Hi all, I'm having an urgent problem! I've always wanted to take bridal PS at those old dilapidated buildings and everyone even by BS kept telling me "Oh don't worry your photographer will know where to go." So I kept chasing for a meetup with the photographer beforehand to tie all these down.

I just got back from a meeting with him and he says that he doesn't know any such buildings in Singapore! He said all the pictures that I showed him are of buildings that have been torn down or demolished already! I'm currently in a mess because my PS is this coming Saturday I do not have ANY PS location to go to.

Please advise if you know any such old buildings that I can do my PS at! Thank you fellow CP brides!!

Here's some pics I want to achieve:

omg.. old changi hospital... tats so scary.. haha...

but can go in meh?


Precious> i think the ROM food prepared by the western restuarant?
for AD will be chinese food, so shld be different ba...
 
hi LaoBo able to share hw the pic turns out?
like krazimitzi i like the old building concept but no idea where to go leh
 
Hey LaoBo yes pls help me find! I just watched Royston Tan's "Old Places" documentary but still have to figure out if these places are still around since he filmed it! =(
 
i asked my sis & she was saying the gate was widely opened, not locked. I wont be able to share the photos because my sister dun have FB and neither will she give me the soft copy.
 
I think I decided not to go to OCH. It's really too spooky even in the pictures I found on the Net and plus... you know what month it is now... I will not take the chances!!!

Susan, here's the list from Royston's documentary... if you still have time you can go check those places out slowly one by one. Unlike me who was told my my photographer only 1 week before the shoot that he doesn't know of any location, that's why I am so flustered now

sorry ladies, but does anyone have any ampoules to sell to me urgently? previously there was a discussion on this on another forum and i remember the price was about $10 per ampoule, so i was very shocked when my MUA said it would cost total of $80 --> $30 each for my husband and i for ampoules, and $20 for the eyelashes. i am already on such a tight budget, i'm afraid i really cannot fork out that money, and then what will i do? my makeup will run by outdoor shoot? oh dear oh dear. i am so stressed out! please email me [email protected] if you have any to spare, thanks!
 
julia: my ROM buffet lunch by Imperial Treasure ;)
mostly chinese dish
but also got something like smoked salmon, sushi and pastries too
 
brandon> seldom gt ppl come post in this thread leh... i'm shortlisting crowne plaza.. but no one feedback much... =(
 
hey julia! aren't u a TA bride too? i remember seeing you on that forum! i'm a cp bride. what do you want to know? i'm not sure of the food. still waiting for others to post feedback too!!
 
Hi krazimitzi!

yea i'm a TA bride! hahaha...
i like CP cos they have nice poolside rom...
i wanna have a poolside rom b4 my banquet...
wat i worry is the food only lor...
cos i see past posts many say food not nice.. =(

btw, how's the march-in like eh? as in the path.. haha...
 
Julia, the march in would depend on ur setup of the stage. Either a long march from the side door or a direct march in from center.
 
i have confidence in their food !
coz my ROM they did a good job, nice food we had
though some of the post here got negative feedback for their banquet...

but im still taking CP...

so just cross your finger and hope your's turns out well !
 
Hi precious, during ROM, is the food from imperial treasure as well?

some of the dishes from the wedding menu are not found in the menu at imperial treasure. find it abit weird.
 
hi shoegirl, it's available on singaporebrides directory. but if you're looking at 2012 the packages are not out yet. fyi.

hi brandon, you really can't compare novo and cp. their look and feel are completely different. novo looks warm and like most other ballrooms that you go to weddings. but cp is a breath of fresh air. as an international business hotel, it offers something refreshing than the other common weddings you have attended.

it really depends on what you want. i had a tough time deciding too. down to the day of the cp wedding showcase. maybe you want to attend the cp showcase? but you should be ready to place your deposit on the spot, as signing up at the showcase offers more perks than if you just sign up normally. check out singaporebrides home page for more details.
 
brandon: as mentioned on my previous post, my ROM buffet food are all prepared by Imperial Treasure @ Crowne Plaza Hotel.
Wedding menu are also prepared by Imperial Treasure @ Crowne Plaza Hotel
=)
i've no regrets taking Crowne... their normal deluxe room is superb also.. for that ROM package price its worth it lor...
 
precious: i agreed with you too, saw the suite and the deluxe room. Superb. very nice.

wasted they dont have a vip carpark slot available.
if not it will be pretty perfect.
 
i'm gg to their wedding showcase!

but mine is dec 2012... so i doubt they will allow me to sign.. haha.. cos their 2012 price not out yet...

but no harm jus go see la.. since they are launching new themes...
 
brandon: their deluxe room's bathroom somehow can watch tv from inside, as there's a big transparent glass looking through to your beedroom
and got volume control inside the bathroom too
which bridal suite do not have
so if your ROM there, got chance to stay in that kinda room =)
but not for wedding's bridal suite... what a waste
 
Hello! Juz went for food tasting...dunno izzit my choice of food or wat...but it wasnt really as fantastic and up to expectations as the reviews said..

Can anyone share their chosen menu?

For us,
We choose scallop soup..not really fantastic =( is the fish maw one good?
2) Yam Ring is goodie
3)Roasted Duck is goodie
4)Baked Pork Ribs
5)Fish with sweet and sour sauce..
7) Fried Rice in Lotus Leaf...not fantastic and no colour to make it look appetising...=(
8) Dessert is the red bean glutinous rice balls
 
Hi pighead. if you change to fish maw, you cannot have another food tasting. wat if *touchwood*, in the end u actually think that scallop is better than fish maw? i was just wondering though my food tasting will be next yr.
krazimitzi, how was your photo shoot???
 
Julia~ Will they be releasing the new themes at this upcoming showcase? Cuz that time Ms A said that I would only know the 2011 themes in late Nov/Dec. I would want to go check it out at the showcase if I can get a peep at what my wedding will look like!! Do you know for sure?

Precious~ You mean the deluxe room is better than the suite? Cuz the suite comes with the package... Do you have any photos to share? You mean I should turn down the suite and take the Deluxe room instead??

Pighead~ Oh no that sounds bad... Did you raise it to Ms A or whoever is your coordinator? I have made SO MUCH hooha about the bad reviews but no one is taking me seriously. Telling me that they will graciously let me do food tasting earlier "out of goodwill", but seriously, that does not solve the problem! They claim that there have been NO complaints from any couples on the food. But funny, I heard a complaint from a groom himself. Are you disappointed with the quality? What are you going to do about it? I have to say I'm getting more and more worried as the day approaches.

LaoBo~ Hey yea I did my photoshoot liao. I did the bridal and my casual one all in the same weekend and consequently fell ill immediately after. Have only just recovered. I'll email you a loooong list of things I learnt! =)

krazimitzi: deluxe room can enjoy TV inside bathroom.. only this one good point
but of coz... take the suite lah, since its in wedding package =)
dun go waste!
 
krazimitzi: yes the new themes will be revealed &amp; i want to email Ms A for the pictures. cnt possibly ask me to pay again to go for the wedding showcase. i have seen their bridal suite &amp; deluxe room. deluxe room is nice bcz u can watch tv frm bathroom. bt too small for wedding le gal. so muz take bridal. much bigger, better.
glad that u are better nw. muz hv been fun rite? okies waiting for ur email. thks! =)
 
Hi Pighead,

I looked through my menu, there's no yam ring option? Are you referring to the mixed seafood with cashew nuts?

As for the fish with sweet and sour sauce, are you referring to the yellow croaker fish fillets?

For the Combination dish (1st Dish), i am wondering which would be 'better looking' for the guests, cha siew or roasted pork? Can anybody advise?

Thanks!
 
Hi Silent Rain...

Yeah! Bingo for all your ans!
We r taking the seafood sauteed with trio pepper and cashew nuts!
For the fish...we didnt take the yeallow croaker fish (coz alot of bones)...so changing to soon hock but cook the same way for sweet n sour! Coz we like it different if not everytime it is steamed soon hock....

The combinations dish we choose roasted pork..n well..i muz say it is good and the kids love it coz it is crispy...however sad to say...their presentation as a whole nt really nice coz the plate looks big and the food very little...
The food is definitely sufficient for all (10pax) but it is juz becoz of presentation...they look pretty little...=(
 
Precious: u had buffet lunch n pool solemnisation?

For how many pple? The buffet is stand around kinda buffet?

I want a nice ROM n after that have buffet for guests. but guests is around 150 pple.. cos i dun really want to have banquet n march in all tat..

Do u know if CP poolside can accomodate so many people?
 
bem: yah.. solemnization at pool, buffet lunch at one of their function room
mine is ROM package for 30pax
150 is abit tough, your guest would have to crowd around the aisle of the pool.. the 4 sides...
then most of them will not be able to have a direct view of your signing ceremony
coz i think the number of chairs would not be much too...

you can check with the hotel see if they can cater to your special request
happy.gif
 
Precious: thanks for your fast reply
happy.gif


O actually I mean its like I want ROM mayb witness like 30-50 pple.. den after tat, the remaining pple can come for the buffet lunch..

I was looking at the coming wedding show pdf files. there is solemnisation lunch and wedding buffet lunch. both are different pricing. the wedding buffet lunch is same price as a wedding banquet.. Do u happen to know what is the diff betw these 2 lunches?

Btw, if tat day is raining, then the ROM how? move indoors den will they decorate it nicely too?
 
Hey Krazimitzi,

Can juz check with you...for the short aisle...it is like a "V" shape thingy for the walk in rite...it wun b a main door and straight ahead is the aisle horz...

Really wanted the long aisle...but seems like for us it is over the capacity and they cant seem to add additional tables for the long aisle...I got abt 28 tables...sadz...

Hey Jinyi..
I dunno if mine is the same as yours nt...But my menu also dun have sharks fin...coz we feel that to pay for the premier menu is abit bo hua..coz the dishes like so so only also...

Bem...
My bro-in law had his rom at crowne also..but it is indoors...but I muz say the buffet food is goodie..hee..
 
precious~ i chose the short aisle because i don't like how anti-social the long aisle is, the stage is way over at one end, and everyone is crammed along the sides... not very friendly. i prefer everything to be centralised so it feels cosier, like one big group of friends and family. anyway it's our wedding so it's really a celebration WITH our friends and family, i didn't want the spotlight just to be on us marching in... i wanted everyone to feel like they were PART of the march in too...

pighead~ actually it IS the main door and straight ahead is the aisle. short means short... it's probably about less than 1 minute to march in. but you can really choose how you want to do it. for example i am toying with the idea for us to dance in from different side doors, meet in the middle, then walk down. or you can prolong yours by either having all your bridesmaids and groomsmen march in in front of you... or you can do a little spin in the middle before you proceed down. it's really up to your creativity. just make the moment "YOURS", something you can look back and call your own.
happy.gif
 
Hey Kraz...

Oh so you mean only 1 main door will open for the short! That looks better...

Haha..actually tats wat me and my hubby discussed also! make a feel swirls before reaching the stage...haha..

We actually prepared a fun dance with 2 other couples for the 2nd march in...now juz realized cant do long aisle..will have to change all the dance etc...

I understand where u coming from...so now for me it's like deciding btw getting more blessings frm ppl we love or choosing a long aisle which is my dream wedding...=)
 
yup i aso feel tat if pick the premium menu bo hua cos menu realli soso only. im still thinking btw crowne plaza or grand park cityhall? hmm...i like the crowne plaza ballroom more but the other hotel menu seems better
 


bem: 30-50 people crowd around your ceremony shouldn't be a problem then
happy.gif

and if morning rains, they'll shift everything to indoor. solemnization room and buffet room will be a diff one, so not to worry. but the indoor will not have decoration.. only the signing table will have centerpiece... same as the pool... aisle chair got seat cover.. thats all.. additional sash for chair gotta pay extra


kraz: i got what u mean
guess all got diff opinion.. my dream is high ceiling long march in.. haha...
