Hi dey,
That is the floral vase ice craving with fresh red roses in it. It comes as part of the deco in the package. U can choose either this one or the swan ice craving.
Hi shirley, No. We didnt top up money.
Hi J&J, Not sure. U better check with FS. If i m not wrong, need at least a few hundred bucks. To top up to have flowers at the reception area is abt $200+ oledi. So, "tentage" type will be more ex.

Hi dey... I used FS invites which is part of the package. Chose the leaf design. U can see my invite in one of the pix. Got xtra cartoon (boy & girl) printed on the front.
My package comes with free bottle of wine/table. But, on AD, bought additional 5 bottles from them. Price is reasonable....$28+++/bottle. It is cheaper to get wine from them cos of the high corkage charges.

Hi Cheerygal.. when did u sign up for your package with FS? Got free wine for every table! it is quite good bargain! I only got free seat covers 
By the way,how many tables do u have? how many bottles of wine was consumed on your AD? I am calculating how many bottles of wine I should buy..

Hi Cheerygal,
You got a very good bargain! * envy * The free wine and beer can save alot of $ ! hee...
32 table is the maximum number of tables that can go into the grand ballroom right? But looking at your pics, it does not look cramp at all.. I am only looking at 25 tables...my initial calculation is abt 30 bottles of wine.. additional 5 bottles too.. Did u bring in alcohol on your own too? How much do FS charge for the corkage for hard liquor?

Hi dey... Yup, agree. Tats why we immediately booked on the spot without further consideration.
Yes, max. is 32 tables for the grand ballroom. Initially, I tot will be very cramp but luckily it wasn't.
We brought hard liquor along but didn't open. Corkage for hard liquor is $35+++ & $25+++ for wine. So, it is cheaper to get wine from them.

Hi Cheerygal,
I dun think FS will have such good packages anymore.. their prices are getting more ex every year..I count myself lucky to have free seat covers already..heehee..but I do agree they have quite good prices for the wines.. most prob will buy the wine from them. I am too lazy to source around anyway ..
.. by the way.. did u do some alteration to the orginal invitation card that FS provides? The invitation card ( the one with leaves) which they show me does not look like that?

Hi dey...they dun hv my package anymore. Tats wat my coordinator told me. Now, e most they will give 5% off during bridal show. Really count myself lucky
I agree. Save u the trouble to source since u need to settle so many other things for wedding.
There are 2 parts to the invite. One is a plain ivory colour card where u need to print the details on it. The other one is the translucent cover (with leaves) where it will goes on top of the main card. We got the printer to print the boy & girl cartoon & our names on the cover of the main card. So, when u open the translucent cover, u will see the cartoon & names. In this way, it will not look so plain. Hope u understand. I will try to take a pix of the card with the leaf cover so u will noe how it looks like.

Hi Beary,
Just a quick note b4 I hit the shower. I smelled like a donkey!
Let me see if I can list the reasons for choosing FS down here:
1) Our first date was at One-Ninety, the resturant there. So guess it'll be special to hold our wedding there. (But this is not really the main reason)
2) Because of our small no. of tables, the ballrooms availiable for us to choose are pretty limited. We have been to other hotels. They wanted to squeeze us into those function rooms (with partition and stuff). We don't like it.
3) I am looking for a place with high ceiling. So FS's ballrooms meet our criteria.
4) A place which both of us are comfortable with. I like the fact that FS is exclusive and each ballroom has it's own foyer which your guests can sip their drinks b4 the dinner starts. No choice of your guests going to another couple's wedding.
5) Some ballrooms are dark and gloomy. The main ballroom looks pretty bright and sunny during day time. Just what I need for my wedding =P
I guess that's about it =) Hehehe... Do list down what are your criteria for choosing a place for your wedding and compare. No of tables? Budget? etc
What other hotels have u been to?
There is a wedding show at Oriental Hotel on 11 Mar. FYI, their wedding lunch price is more or less the same as FS. If you are interesed, go to the Oritental Hotel website for more info.

Hi Cheerygal,
Think I will try it out first, if the effect is not good, may use the background music instead...
By the way.. did u and your hubby march in using different entrance and then meet again before marching towards the stage ? I am thinking of doing that too.. cos it is kinda weird to be as coming in together from one door as the entrance is at the side... Given the distance between the stage and the entrace, i think the march in is quite short right?

Hi AhCapp,
I agree with u that a set of criteria needs to be set when finding the correct venue. For me, I am looking at a venue which is able to commodate less than 30 table while at the sametime is exclusive and grand too.. I fell in love with FS the moment I saw the ballroom. No pillars..high ceiling.. Too beautiful to be rejected..haha..

Hi AhCapp,
I've been to most of the 5 star hotels in the city area as well as the 2 hotels in Sentosa.
I agree with you that some hotels try to sell me the smaller function rooms coz my no of tables is only about 15. Some even 'force' me to increase my guest list to 25 tables, or else there's no way i can hold the wedding in that hotel. How many tables do you have? FS suggested that I use the crescent ballroom. But I haven't seen it so not sure whether we'll like it or not. The main ballroom is very nice tho, with the windows and all.
I guess my criteria is more or less the same as dey. exclusive and grand, with high ceilings. must be affordable of course. hehe...

hi Beary,
U can try checking out The Equinox(prev Compass Rose) @ 70th flr of the Swissotel. Their private function room can accomodate upto 18tables. has high ceilings and full glass panels where u can overlook part of the singapore skyline.. quite a nice veiw in the day..a unique back-drop as well.
hope this helps....

Hi dey,
For the 1st march-in, we came in fr diff entrance & meet in the centre before marching towards the stage. Think u can see fr one of my pix. For 2nd march-in, we came in from the 2nd entrance together cos got the band to play the song & follow behind us. The march-in is just nice if both of u walk a bit slower. We got the videographer & photographer to be in front of us so they guided us to slow down if we walk too fast.

Hi Beary,
When my coordinator show me around FS that time, I happen to see a wedding too at the cresent ballroom. 10 table only but very nice and cosy though it does not have the windows as the grand ballroom..
Hi Cheerygal,
I do have the fairytale feeling when I saw your photos too.. so romantic!
...really glad that u share your pics.. at least now I know FS can make my wedding into a fairytale..

Been real busy at work today.... Oh my....
Hi Beary,
My current no. of tables is between 18 to 20. Like u, some hotels try to persuade me to increase my no. of tables to 25. I mean, helo, how to get so many guests?? =(
Do take a look at the Crescent Ballroom. If I am not wrong, I find the chandeliers (those pretty lights) at Crescent Ballroom nicer than that in the Main Ballroom =P But both also nice.
If u really really love Four Seasons, do some calculations and see if you can work around your budget or not. But my main stand is: Do not spend all your money on your wedding dinner. =) Because there are other expenses which we'll need to think about eg the wedding gown, photography, new home etc.

Hi Beary,
Another hotel u can consider will be Raffles hotel. Think they specialise in organising small weddings.. if I am not mistaken, their ballroom is nice for weddings with 20 and below tables.. Go take a look..
Hi AhCapp,
Ya. I agree with u. I have been to some hotels with ballroom so near to the lobby and u can see people walking around... no privacy leh..
I did draft out my budget when I start planning for my wedding but I think I burst it now.. heehee

Hi Cheerygal,
thanx for the info! =) will go check out the website. Altho my friends just attended a wedding in marriott in december and their comment was the food wasnt very good.
Hi Dey,
Raffles hotel's packages are too expensive for me. The dinner package there cost over 800 excluding taxes and service charges. so it'll come up to more than 1k per table =(
Hi Ahcapp,
I saw the chandeliers in crescent ballroom's cocktail area. they are indeed very lovely, more traditional victorian feel than those in the main ballroom. Will go and see the wedding set up and hopefully it'll b as nice as the main ballroom. I just love those big windows there! =)

Hiya everyone,
I am proud to announce that I have confirmed with FS and is going to be married in Mar 06! Finally, got this settled and on my way to shop around for Bridal shops now.. =)
Hi beary,
Oh yes, the chandeliers are sooo pretty! =)
I just bought the latest copy of "Style Wedding". There are quite a no. of wedding shows coming up. Regent Hotel, Oriental, Swissotel (i think). All of the shows are either in Mar or Apr. Perhaps u want to get a copy and see if attending the shows will have u get a good bargain.
Your wedding is in Jul06 right? I guess still have some time. Slot your date with FS first but continue to scout around and work on your budget. =)

Hi dey,
Talking about march-in, u know there is a linkway between FS and Hilton right? Along this linkway, there are a no. of exclusive shops. But the best feature are those lovely victorian (?) looking lamps on the wall!
I was joking with my bf that I want to start my march-in from there! hahahah.. he said he will need to video-cam me doing the march-in and project it onto the screen for all my guests to see....
I must be really happy because I am cracking jokes here.. hahahahah

Hi puiggy, sure. Sent u the pix already
Hi Beary, oic! The food was quite good when I attended one abt 2yrs back. Dun put in too much expectation for food cos it is hard to find very nice banquet food.
Hi Pisduck, FS will give u the namecards of the printers. Mine is Jasvy. They are quite good and can give u ideas on how to make your card looks nicer. U can check in as early as 12noon. The hotel coordinator will hand over the entire ballroom to u and the hotel captain of the nite at 5.30pm. So, u can get your videographer, entertainer, etc. to come in after 5.30 to do all set-up. Tats wat I did. Got my emcees & band to come in at 6 to do testing & set-up.
Hi josl, Nope, didnt take photos at FS cos went to my bestfren's studio to take more pixs of my gown. Check-in at 3pm so no time to take pixs. U can take pixs at the grand staircase, the resting lounge near the lobby reception counter & in your suite. The swimming pool area is not so so only in the day. Nite time is much nicer.
Hi AhCapp, Congrats! U will definitely love the entire experience.

Hi Pisduck,
Your AD is 6 days before mine? Have u met up with your coordinator to discuss abt the details of your wedding already? U will be collecting the invitation cards soon right? ..Usually how many mths in advance will the coordinator call u up to discuss the details cos I have not receive any call from them yet or do I have to call them up to ask?

Hi Pisduck,
Me & my hubby was inexperienced like everyone here. luckily, we got a lot of help fr frens who are oledi married
Eugene will leave around 7pm. The hotel captain will be in-charge of the entire event. But, there are also indiv person fr the hotel in-charge of the music, lighting, etc.
I got my colleague to be the chinese emcee & engaged another english emcee fr my co.'s contact. If u wanna engage professional emcees, the price ranges fr $300 to $800. I have the contact if u want.
My hubby's best fren is the overall-in-charge so the hotel captain will go to him for all queries, etc. It's better to get another person to be overall-in-charge cos u will be very busy tat nite. Dun think u wanna worry abt the nitty gritty stuff. rite?
My hubby & his best fren had a meeting with the hotel captain & all the staff in-charge of the various areas at abt 5.30pm so as to brief everyone the program for the nite. And, also to introduce each other.
We are quite surprised tat the hotel captain was also the time keeper for the nite. Initially, we gotten hubby's best fren to be the time keeper cos we didn't noe FS will be helping us to such an extent. The captain even called us at our suite to inform us to come down for the 2nd march-in. All the staff are very professional.
Hi dey,
Your coordinator will call u in abt 2.5mths before your wedding for food tasting. Collection of invites will be done abt 2 mths before your AD. Then, abt 1mth before, u will need to discuss with FS on the table settings, etc.

My hubby's best fren is the overall-in-charge so the hotel captain will go to him for all queries, etc. It's better to get another person to be overall-in-charge cos u will be very busy tat nite. Dun think u wanna worry abt the nitty gritty stuff. rite?
My hubby & his best fren had a meeting with the hotel captain & all the staff in-charge of the various areas at abt 5.30pm so as to brief everyone the program for the nite. And, also to introduce each other.
We are quite surprised tat the hotel captain was also the time keeper for the nite. Initially, we gotten hubby's best fren to be the time keeper cos we didn't expect FS will be helping us to such an extent. The captain even called us at our suite to inform us to come down for the 2nd march-in. All the staff are very professional.
Hi dey,
Your coordinator will call u in abt 2.5mths before your wedding for food tasting. Collection of invites will be done abt 2 mths before your AD. Then, abt 1mth before, u will need to discuss with FS on the table settings, etc.
hi dey,
yep, my wedding is on 11 june.
i have not met up with my co-ordinator yet cos he will be going on wedding leave soon. will prob meet up with him after he comes back.
who's your co-ordinator? think u dun have to freak out cos my co-ordinator told me that normally they will give the couple a call when it is time to pick up cards etc etc...
hi cheerygal,
would love to have the mc contact. can u pm me? if it is convenient, can u tell me the cost in the pm? thanks!!
i agree with u about the being busy with all the stuff part. we are still deliberating about who to ask to be our overall in-charge. sigh sigh.... most of my frens are not married yet so they are super blur about the wedding procedure etc.... i am very worried that there might be lots of screw-ups... think we will prob get hubby's sis to be co-ordinator. STRESSED!!
so, your advice is for everybody to have a meeting at about 5.30 pm before the event? that sounds like a great idea... so, FS will have people in-charge of music, lights etc... i dun have to get one of my frens to turn on/off lights, music etc, right?
hope FS can take the bulk of the co-ordinating part off my shoulders else i will really be freaking out during the wedding....

Hi dey... I didn't compile the background music cos I engaged a 2-person guitar team to play throughout the dinner. FS will not compile the music for u. They will only play soothing instrumental music. If u are fine with it, then no need to compile your own.
Hi Pisduck,
No prob. U want the contact for the pro emcee rite?
It is better to get someone who is more organised & can make decision instantly. I understand how u feel now. I was very stressed 2mths b4 my wedding too. My girlfren who was supposed to be my english emcee couldn't make it last min cos of wk. I came to noe only 2wks before my wedding. In the end, I searched around desperately for a replacement.
Yes, it's better to have a meeting to sort out everything. Time is flexible. We did it at 5.30 cos the hotel staff are done with the settings by then. Also, it gives your hubby sometime to change & prepare for the evening. During the meeting, u can pass the CD, video to the captain. Also, give them the itinerary for the nite. I didn't attend this meeting. My hubby & his bestman took over the task of briefing them. As a bride, u just need to relax, look pretty & enjoy yourself
FS has indiv person in-charge of everything so no need to worry. They even have staff to help u to open the doors for march-in which most places dun provide. The captain wore a earpiece & communicate with the rest of the key personnel via tat. So, comm is no prob at all.
FS will handle most of the stuff for u. Just need to brief them on your requirements. Actual day itinerary is the most impt. I can email u my itinerary if u need it. Save u the trouble of thinking
Also, your main coordinator must be clear of his/her duties. It's better to arrange for a meeting with your helpers so they can understand their roles.
Hope this helps.
