Crowne Plaza Hotel, Changi Airport

hey anyone here knows of any videography tat can include in solemnisation done in the evening to b screen tog with morning highlights during dinner? besides the hweestudios posted earlier?

anyone used them?
 


jingyi, i dont think much ppl can do that as the solemnisation in the evening is too close to the dinner unless they can do the morning highlight first then incorporate the solemnisation into it.

beside hwee studio, think moomedia might be able to do it as well.
 
brandon~ did you manage to get your quote from hwee in the end? are they within your budget? i'm still considering whether to get them for PG too cuz my BS provides PG but... a bit CMI
 
hmm... actually.. they never state in the pdf file... how much per table leh..
anybody can tell me the price? for lunch/ dinner/ premium??

thanks.
 
<font color="FF0066"> Hello... My partner and I going to book CP! Meeting the guy soon. Anyone going for 2012 weddings? Can share your package? Thanks! </font>
 
<font color="FF0066"> Hi Brandon! I spoke to Edwin. We will be meeting soon! Any tips? </font>

<font color="FF0099"> Hi Brandon, when's your AD? Solemnization on same day? If so, which part of CP?

Kraz, in that case maybe can engage another photographer to hav different shot. for mine i have a main and another one to take standard shot.
 
<font color="FF0099"> Brandon ~ We haven't sign as my partner is overseas. I'm considering to have solemnization lunch buffet at CP's function room since we also want to provide lunch for everyone who attended/helped out during morning session. Another reason that I want to ROM during lunch is so the VG can include the footage during dinner's express highlights. If I do everything on same day, I don't need to worry about make-up, extra costs, etc. The only downside is that we'll be rushing everywhere!

Hi aLL...

I have just emailed to CP for package details..
Anyone sign up the package during the fair/workshop??
I was thinking to hold the solemnisation on the same day, will there be extra charges??

Does anyone have the package to share?

Thanks in advance.

My email:[email protected]
 
<font color="FF0066"> Hello Felicia! I didn't signed during the bridal showcase coz we were advised that 2012 package was not prepared. Nonetheless, we still made booking a month later and will be signing contract tomorrow.

We will be having Lunch Solemnization and Wedding Dinner on the same day. No price discounts, but can negotiate for more perks. The package with CP is quite standard. You may wanna take a look at http://www.singaporebrides.com/hotels/crowne_plaza/index.htm (NOTE: 2012 Premium Package is $1198nett instead of $1168nett)

hello everyone! i'm also considering CP for my solemnization and wedding. before i approach their manager, is there anythin to look out for, or ask for? hehee..
 
Acacia, welcome to be CP btb and gtb.

manage to settle the paper work for your booking?
the package there are quite standard, mine is a wedding lunch in Jan 2011. also having our solemnization on the same day at the function room but due to the time constraint, we are not able to have montage showcase during the lunch.

Perks wise i would say not bad but not the best. so far went for marina mandarin, their approach is the best in the market. they just show hand and give what they can and ask what you need.

Felicia, for the solemnization, if you use the function room, it shld be free. but if you use the garden or pool side, there will be additional charges.

Charlotte, most important is to find out the availability of the dates you required, the rough estimation of your number of tables, go thru the menu and perks to see the standard package and also what the other hotels are offering.
 
brandon, thks for replying! i'm heading down this weekend~ Mr E says Miss A will be taking over the liasing with me.

Btw, i was wondering if any of u heard of this taboo?

To avoid clashing of luck, for three months before and after their wedding, the bride and groom will not
* attend a funeral or wake;
* attend a wedding;
* visit a lady who is in confinement.

my best friend is also holding her wedding next year! And our dates happened to fall within 3 months. boohooo... i'm intending to ignore this taboo, but she's afraid her family and FH side might not be happy about it. *sobs*
 
<font color="FF0066">Brandon ~ Thanks for welcoming me! I'm excited and very happy working with Mr E. He is patient and very accommodating! We'd signed the contract yesterday. But can't choose themes yet coz ours is 2012. We got an extra suite for our helpers to rest/chill in between Lunch Solemnization and Wedding Dinner. My tea ceremony will be done in the suite too. Now looking for good VG who can feature our lunch solemnization footage during dinner. We also 'booked' our JP already! Haha!

Charlotte ~ Hello! If it was me, I will not attend the wedding. Because I don't wish to be blamed for any misfortune that may happen later. It could be coincidence, but some may think otherwise.

charlotte> my fren told me b4... it's the attendee who will kena the misfortune.. not the host..

she has this fren A who is very good fren with B...
both of them getting married and their dates are within the 3mths...
but B didn't cared abt tat taboo and went ahead to attend A's wedding cos A is her best fren...
1yr later, B got divorced...
coincidence or bad luck from ignoring the taboo?
nobody knows... so better to play safe ba...
 
I seee... thanks all! omg.. in that case, I have really go think about it again. Sigh.. we really wish to attend each other wedddings!
 
Charlotte, it all depends on individual and also most important is what you family mention said and feel. I had check with fengshui sinfu before and he mention that wedding is considering a 喜事 so it's okie for double 喜喜. My wtb good friend also getting marry within the 3 month time frame, so they will be attending each other's wedding.
anything after that got to keep our finger cross.

but for funeral, consider NO NO.

Acacia, sound like you got a good package, ur JP already booked? cool.
 
<font color="FF0066">Brandon ~ Good Morning! Yea, we are satisfied with our package considering we did not sign during Bridal Showcase! What a waste, if we take up during then... I bet we can negotiate for more perks or get lucky draw! Btw, which JP are you inviting?</font>
 
<font color="FF0066">Brandon ~Mine's Dr Phua Tan Tee. I google his pic and I like that he looks fatherly and chirpy. I saw videos of him giving speech. Good in both Mandarin and English. I still can't decide on language. The elders all prefer mandarin. And the younger generation understands English better. Which did you choose?</font>
 
brandon> i din met up with him..
i jus emailed him to book the date first.. haha
but i see him in person b4..
cos he was my future SIL JP.. =)

acacia> my sis is also having Dr Phua as her JP~! her AD will be in may 2011...
 
<font color="FF0066">Julia ~Yea.. Very HOT ah! CP is my 6th choice lo! Other couples booked so fast. And, 1 of our 2012 BTB couple faster than me by few hours to snap Marriot lah! LOL!</font>
 
<font color="FF0066">Julia ~ Awww... Your friend took my spot at Carlton!!! Boo... Haha! Four Seasons and SMC was taken up as well. We wanted to book in Sept, that's almost 1.5yrs before AD leh! Still lose out to so many couples...</font>
 
<font color="FF0066">Krazimitzi ~ Hello! It's just a coincidence that a lot of couples got this auspicious date from the Masters.</font>
 
Acacia, your JP same as mine.. and venue same too.. lolx
but mine long over already...
my solemnization that time was at the pool...
Dr Phua is very fatherly (abit long winded lah)
 
<font color="FF0066">Kiwi ~ I think it really depends on individual JPs... Some may not accept bookings until nearer to date.

Precious ~ Hello Precious! You did solemnization and dinner on same day? How did everything went on your wedding day?
happy.gif
Share share! I think Dr Phua is adorable looking. Haha... You had yours in English or Mandarin?</font>

hey everyone, i just went for my food tasting. overall comments were that the food was quite nice, the portions are pretty tiny but everyone was full (just nice kinda full, not overstuffed kinda full) at the end of the meal, and they were pleasantly surprised by the choices for the first 5 dishes... until it reached the chicken and then it was all pretty normal. but they said the first few dishes were different, unique, refreshing and surprising.

here's my final menu (i'm having chinese lunch):

crispy tofu, roast pork (the mustard sauce supposed to go with this tasted weird), charsiew, youtiao, and jellyfish. (we made a replacement of the jellyfish over the guotie which was gross, you bite into it and the oil oozes out!!)

bamboo pith seafood soup (quite yums and something different, nv served before)
deep fried prawns with mayo (delish but too much mayo!!!)
king fish with minced garlic (delish but too much garlic!! we asked for more fried, less minced garlic)
cabbage roll with mushrooms (everyone loved, but we asked for smaller sizing cuz it was pretty huge and hard to handle)

roasted chicken (not crispy the skin, plus it tasted like old chicken, the meat was tough to chew and dry and kinda tasteless... very disappointed)
mee pok with truffle oil (sadly disappointed in this dish. the ones we had tried - twice! - at the showcases is nothing to measure against! this one not only tasted horrible, the noodles smelled like ammonia peroxide when being served, it simply turned everyone off eating it. nobody finished their noodles. replaced with eefu.)

honeydew sago (g00d g00d! but hubby thot it was a little too creamy, the fruit not sweet enuf on its own, they used rock melon instead of honeydew, and the fruit pieces were too small and not enuf. -_- )

but overall quite ok... I wouldn't say extremely nice or very satisfying... and there probably wasn't really any one dish that made us go OMG!!!! like I have at other people's wedding dinners at Hyatt (chicken with fried garlic!), Mandarin Oriental (mantou with chili crab dip, scallops!), Orchard Parade (crispy tofu!!)...
sad.gif
but ok la, not BAD like some others have said. then again... this is FOOD TASTING, let's hope and pray the actual day is good!!! :P
 
Thanks for the update krazimitzi! glad to know that all is at least satisfactory. So prepared for everything now? =)
 
Hi.. Where do you guys find the suitable CD to be play throughout the whole 8 course of dinner? Please adivce.. Thanks
