Crowne Plaza Hotel, Changi Airport

Kraz, have you sign ur package? from what i know is the for couples who had sign up, the lucky draw is not a sure win draw.

Jungyi, very hard to nego with them.

maybe we all shld all go together then bargain based on our confirm signing with them.
 


i wont be in spore lehz tat day so my bf will be going down to sign instead. so sad will miss the actual setup of the ballroom but im sure it will be very nice. i wanna see the garden side setup so anyone going plssssss post the pics.
 
anyone knows what time is the lucky draw?

do we have to state how many tables we r having or we sign the contract based on the minimum 20tables?
 
brandon~ yep that's why i said it is def not a sure win. yes i already signed with them at the previous showcase. but since julia said they are showing the new themes this time around, no choice i have to go down again so i can decide on my wedding theme!

jingyi~ the lucky draw is right at the end, should be about 5.30pm onwards. you don't have to state how many tables because you only need to put a deposit of $3000 on the spot. actually until the end it's also only an estimate, only on the day of the wedding then it is confirmed how many tables you pay for...
 
ok thanks tat case i ask my bf dun need go down so early since he will b going down alot n might b bored.

those who r going,u all cfm going to sign?
 
Kraz, 530 for the lucky draw is very late. I wAs wondering how many prizes do they have for that draw? Did u win for the previous showcase? I'm preparing perks then big prizes for honeymoon prizes.
 
Dear all, if u are at the showcase look for Edwin. He's good and friendly. Just sign mine.

hey all,did u all manage to squeeze out anymore extra perks besides the lucky draw one?

is there like alot ppl there? haix...if only i can be there
 
Jingyi, yes manage to get what we wanted except a few. So far very happy with Edwin's service.

Too bad din win the main lucky draw but was more happy with the free perks.
 
i realise this time around the perks not as good as the last one. the last time had free night stay in bridal suite already, don't have to lucky dip to get it - which apparently that is the "top" dip prize today. some couples only got things like $20 F&B voucher, can you imagine, i would be so sad if i really wanted to sign up... :S

and other dip "prizes" were like free canapes and helpers room, which during the last showcase was also part of the perks already. i think they are trying to cut down on perks?! or they are trying to act smart hahaha and have less "negotiation" if the couples think they are already getting "extra"?

i'll post the various themes when i can... too tired today haha. maybe julia will beat me to it. i am still undecided! though i love love love the little bird cages. that is a MUST.
happy.gif
can we mix and match across themes, you think? i like the standees from the red & black theme with the branches. hahahahaha.

jingyi~ so wat did you bf nego for?
 
hi all, yeah i went down too about 430pm, don't know who u guys are cos no Name Tags hahaha

For the lucky dip, i won 50 pcs of cocktail canapes.

Brandon: wow so u get the perks u wanted like wat we discussed & nt given by Ms A? share share lei hehe
 
kraz: oh really so now they make us feel as if so lucky ah hehe

anyone hv any luck on the additional car park?

i love that bird cage theme too hee
 
haha maybe we all saw each other but didn't know who hahahaha! well, add on fb & we will know liao... aiya we should have done this long time ago then i could have shared my lucky dip with you...!

here's the themes for those that didn't make it down... tho i dunno how to make it bigger to fit the 50kb size restriction?

happy.gif

The themes wise, we had check, can change the color of the table cloth, seat cover, napkin if you want. we are also thinking of changing the color of some.

Kiwi, we neg for the canapes but din manage to get that.
sad.gif
did you sign up today?
Carpark wise din manage to get additional. really tough for that.
5*

My facebook is [email protected]
maybe we can start a discussion over there as well.
 
hey brandon, lucky u!

anyway, when gg for the hotel tour, the guy actually did asked anyone who got the 2nd nite bridal suite stay... and there's a couple who got it.. not sure if it's u.. haha...

i only got a $20 F&B voucher.. so lousy... haha..
but my date in 2012 so can't sign yet either..

duno wanna choose CP or not..
when i go into the ballroom i dun have the WOW feeling leh.. haha.. =x
 
btw, ROM in their function room is not complimentary!
still need to pay $600++ >.<
but tat function room is really unique.. round room...
 
seems like this time round the perks really not so attractive as previous...

kraz: u also signed during this yr April wedding showcase isit?
 
Brandon: yup i signed up yest, and won the "top" prize hehe not sure anyone of u saw me. but i din hear what were the other prizes...too surprised!
 
kiwi: u won top prize? lucky u!!!!

anyone saw the rom area for the garden? nice?i quite like the area but i wonder how it look with the setup
 
jingyi: yup i won hee.i saw the setup, yeah of cos its nice. they hv deco for the garden area whereas for the pool, hv the setup with no deco..i think they already keep those flowers i guess...ur bf din go for the hotel tour? if he join will be able to see or tk pics.
 
Kiwi, i saw you, you were at the right side of the ballroom rite. CONGRATS!!!!!
happy.gif

what was the top prize?

Julia, i did not join the tour so shldnt be me.
happy.gif

consider happy with the additional perks.
so for 2012, still not able to book?
for the function room, it shld be free.
 
Brandon, yup i was at the right side hehe its a 2 nite stay at suite and must utilize within 6 mths!

oh so where were u sitting maybe we did " sweep arms" hehe
 
brandon: yea cos when i registered den Edwin called to say my date is unavailable for booking yet...

jingyi: the garden ROM is pretty small only...
 
Kiwi, I was standing at the center door, right in front of stage. within 6 months? cool so can have pre honeymoon first.
heard that the club lounge have free snacks and drinks.
 
Brandon, there were too many couples around &amp; plus no Tag on u hehehe

yeah maybe canu tilize during some special occasions or countdowns hehe
 
julia~ don't tell me we were in the same group?! cuz the guy that put up his hand was my hubby! i actually told my hubby let's sell it off to any couple here since i'm sure any couple who is really serious on signing would really appreciate the opportunity of getting a second night stay in the suite for like a fraction of the rate! and then we also can use the money towards additional things like wine etc. win-win for both. but my hubby shy. so we returned it to the counter for the next couple to "lucky" dip.

by the way what you tried is not the eefu noodle, it is the noodles in truffle oil. if it's not on the package you're looking at, you have to top up additional to get that, because truffle oil is "expensive", that's what Edwin told me when i signed.

precious~ yep i signed in april. u too? did u get the second night stay or the additional 12 bottles of wine?

jingyi~ here's the pics of the garden and poolside ROM. the garden one, the wind was pretty big so the flowers were blown all over... something to think about too...

1532001.jpg
 
hahaha...
anyway i couldn't book yet either...
cos my date is dec 2012.. still not open for booking..
and we're still looking ard...
 
Julia, mine is on 15th Jan 2011.

i'm still thinking of getting total of 24 bottles of wine or have 12 bottles of wine and 1 barrel of 30litres of beer.
 
kiwi: my bf went down the show but i didnt cos i wasnt in sg tat day.

kraz: the garden rom side looks gd. but seems like can only have 20 seats lehz...i was considering tat for my rom but den again was it very windy tat day? i dun want my rom to have flowers blown away..

brandon: so ur extra perks is total 24btls wine or 12wine + 1 beer barrel? how come so gd de? i aso want~~~
 
Brandon> wow!! its jus a few mths away!! hehe congrats!
surprising tat they still have this date open since it's quite near..
i think 12bot wine &amp; 1 barrel beer is better..
cos if u buy the wine outside,
it's sure cheaper den 1 barrel beer which is $600++..
of cos oso depends on wat kinda wine u buy la.. =)
it's only few mths away.. how's ur prep so far?
not v rush ar?

jingyi> ya the area is quite small only..
only 20 seatings.. the standing area is not very big oso..
maybe can stand abt 10pax?
 
Kiwi, not realli the extra perks. coz for lunch they provide 12 bottles of wine then for the showcase they add either 12 bottles of wine or 1x 30 litres of beer.
so am thinking wanna go for a all wine event or have mixture
main reason is i think 30 litres of beer is not enuff.

Julia, kinda of rush for me. now looking thru for the rest of the preparation. now looking for AD photographer and found but still considering for a AD videographer not.
the wine and beer think was still considering.
 
Hey Bran think it depends on whether the majority of your guests are wine or beer drinkers. Is yours a lunch? Usually people don't drink so much beer in the day. Usually wine consumption is a bottle half per table for dinner, for lunch usually not so much, a bottle or less per table should be safe. Well if you will end up topping up, gotta think is it more worth it to top up when the need arises mid-banquet - wine per bottle of $28 or barrel worth almost double which you might leave half wasted?
 
Kraz, that's y now in doubt. my side is more of beer drinker and fiancee side is more of wine. but for 30 litres of beer, i dont think enuff for all. so was thinking of might as well dont have beer then save some headache of not enuff and need to open more or dont open more. lol.

have anyone here tat attended lunch or dinner without beer but with wine only?
 
in that case probably you will want to take wine indeed... at least 24 bottles would be sufficient, whatever you top up if needed is small amount only. but you might need to state on the menu somehow...? otherwise guests will keep asking the wait staff for beer and feel Eh why got no beer one... so at least if they are already informed they know not to ask for beer. but don't put on the invitation card wait they think you are stingy don't wanna pay for alcohol, not knowing there is wine! hahaha

for me i personally feel for a lunch event wine is better. for me i am going with all wine only, red and white.

i am now considering if i should get fruit wine or some kind of bubbly wine for the cocktail reception... $$ haha

oh some of my friends who did their weddings said they also didn't have beer, instead they catered wine and mixers for their friends, and then hard liquor like XO and DOM for their family side (usually the uncles... father need to yum seng with them etc...). so really depends on your guests...

brandon your wedding is before mine lah! and you just signed! u guys are really daring! i tried booking the venue of my choice 1 year ahead and it was already booked. so i quickly choped this, didn't want to be left venueless haha...
 
Kraz, it was Realli rush, but so far plans been falling in place.
But for videography still looking one that is good and reasonably priced. Most of them are asking 2k and above.

Think an all wine event will make it more classy.
 
brandon> since urs is a lunch,
i would think wine would be more suitable as well...
btw, if u dun mind JB VG, iStudio from JB is good..
you can try to enquire with them..
their pkg is abt 1.2K excl. the music licence..
 


Precious: oh hehe lst Nov , then not Oct brides le.

Brandon: oic, yup cos of that extra perks, thats y i went down to sign during showcase, me still long way to decide on wine or beer. so we are same, having Lunch
happy.gif


and i have same thoughts as Kraz that you are v daring hehe but of cos you r lucky that your date is still available.

anyone has gd photographer and videographer to recommend?
