hi i agree with mashi mashi cps i was a waitress once too...norm is 1 to 2 tables or 2 to 3 tables...but 1 to 4 tables is abit too much! no way the staff can handle...must be too short handle cos normally is temp staff, meaning alot temp staff not free that day...i must rem this item n highlight to my coordinator...wat i learn from my banquet days is if the host keep emphasising to the banquet manager abt this n that service...the manager will highlight to the staff to be on the alert and keep special attention which is not bad la so we must highlight...

I do not think its my fault. If you are the bride that day, you will be too excited to realise anything that is wrong as its too fast pace. You jus go with the flow with no time to bother with anything. Just my view lah cos you will only understand if you been thru it.

hi mashi,
u can print the inserts in citysquare (the shopping centre nearest custom, walkable), level 3 i think call T&T. i printed 150 pieces for RM70(sing $30 only), no limit to the cute icon, eng n chinese version.i find it very convenient.
1st time visit, they will let u choose layout, edit the words.1 hr later they will show u template, once u confirm they will send for printing.1 wk later go back to collect. there got alot samples, got our hotel one, i just pick FUrama Riverfront template then edit to my name, ballroom etc, so easy haha the staff quite helpful even help me find the chinese wordings for my wedding date.
while u r there, can do some shopping, look for heels, hubby shirts etc or just go n eat
ok ok to conclude, we must keep reminding n follow up with our coordinators to remind them of our expectations....cos they may 4get n do the "norm" hehe

hi ppl
just list down my comments when i attended my fren wedding recently. Hers was held at mercury ballroom. The ballroom really cannot make it. Pillars all ard the ballroom. As a guest, i feel so unimportance.
Secondly was the food. Not nice at all. cold and not well cooked. Service so far ok but one server to few tables. I also work as a waitress last time. I can see that the waitress is new.
Thirdly was the projector. We cant see the stage at all. Then infront was a projector. The screen was so blur. Cant see wads gg on at the stage at all.
Cuz i will be a bride soon. so i roughly know what to look out for during the wedding.. I also agreed that the recep area was too dark.

2002, U have any budget? I have a fren doing emcee too. Let me know yr budget...
Hi Pearline,
I rem I was told that the right hand side, when facing the stage, can put max 14 tables. If urs is 25 tables + 2 tables, shldn't b a prob ba. But make sure u tell them try not to put the tables behind the pillars whenever possible...
But I do agree with some of them who mentioned earlier tat u can try to put those tat r not so close 1 behind the pillar lor. A bit not nice but bo pian... We cant please everyone during the wedding. So onli hope they can understand...
Try to go and see an actual wedding set up if possible then u can reali see wat r the prob. Easier to raise up to ur coordinator when meeting him/her on the logistic issues few wks b4 the AD.
My bf and I went to view an actual set up last mth b4 makin the decision to hold our wedding in tat ballroom. But of coz u have to be thick skin to ask the groom or someone for permission to go in to see lor coz u cant reali see clearly from the poolside.

Hi shanni
In the ballroom theres few big pillars not only 1. I was planned to sit at the last table behind the big pillar. Its impossible to squeeze all infront. Cuz my fren also had ard 27 or 29 tables. I noe can pls everyone during the wedding. bt we will sure feel very unimportance.
I was curious whats u guys purpose in choosing furama? im just puerely asking out of curiousity. no offence

sorry me not trying to talk bad of this hotel. Its just my opinion as guest point of view. Cuz i will be holding my wedding too. So i noe roughly what u guys worry abt. Bt i have to admit the ballroom themes shd be nice. stage wise i dont know, cuz i cant see the stage at all. The aisle along the red carpet not bad. with the flower stand. BTW u ppl have to arrange ppl to throw flower petals or blow bubbles during march in. My fren that time dont have all this.
Hi Shanni,
no prob with no of qns haha....
I am having 24 tables at latest count..we got create a list to see how many cards needed...cos 1 family only need 1 card ah...after you ahve roughly estimated the no of cards then u can collect from hotel(if u r printing it urself) if u want to print from T dragon then u can just inform Tdragon, they will use accordingly on their side, no need to take from hotel then to T dragon...
Hotel will recommend ard 3 mths before to start collecting cards n printing. too early give, ppl will 4get n misplace the cards.for me is so long my ppl i confirm, i will collect early so that i can slowly prepare( tie string, write names etc)i took abt 4-5 mths in adv.
my ballroom is mercury...
by the way i am going in to JB this sun, accompanying a fren, she say citysquare got bridal show...so if u interested in malaysia bridal shops can go see see.

Hey gals, Do u guys have any floor plan for mercury by chance??
Hi jerelyn,
No worries..Not offended at all lah..
I got not much of choices in chosing Hotels bcoz my bf is Muslim, so we nd to lok for Hotel tat serve Halal food. But of coz I have to consider my Chinese side oso.
So we decided to have both Chinese n Malay food at the same time, same place BUT from different kitchens... I have abt 14 to 15 Muslim tables so will have to put them near to the pool which I guess is the place u seated.
I did ask my bf to ask his mum to reduce the no of pax but....well..bo pian, stil gonna have tat amt of pax. So I gt no choice but to let his mum to decide who n where she wanna put her guests.
I was told tat there'll b misty dry ice effect when we march in but dun tink have the flowers.
Hi Bride09,
My bf says his fren went JB to print the wedding cards for abt RM0.45 for 1 piece onli, but I dunno where they printed n have nvr see the card b4. So cant comments on it. Btw they printed for Malay wedding, so dunno will affect the pricing oso or nt.
I dun tink will be going JB tis wkend to see the bridal show..too rush liao. But will go for the next mth wedding show at the Plaza Pelangi.
oh...btw thks for ur information on the cards. I'll drop by next mth to see..
Hi Mrs Pearline Yang,

Hi Bride09
There is also a wedding fair on 14-16 Nov at Pelangi Plaza which many major BS are participating. Got Bridal fashion shows and lucky draws, etc. This weekend fair at City Square might be by the 1 or 2 BS located in the mall. so not worth going.
If ur friend interested in JB BS, can consider my BS, Sg Bridal. I just posted my selected photos on my multiply (swee11) and website (http://www.mywedding.com/bryanserene121208/). Can contact me if u need my package details.
Btw, I just printed my wedding inserts at TNT in City Square last 2 weeks. Collected last Sat. 400pcs, double sided with map and 4 icons = RM218. I think their prices went up as compared to last few months.

Probably U can ask ur co-ordinator what r the promos for the upcoming fair. If possible, block the date u want then sign up at the fair. Usually if they wan to close the deal fast, they will give u the fair promo de...
Last yr, I know if u sign up few weeks before or after the fair, u r getting the same freebies. Cos' I m 1 of those who signed up 5 days after the fair. =)
Sign up fair got chance to win lucky draw too.. hehehe...

Hoping for some help here, am thinking of signing up with Furama for wedding banquet for March 14 09. But will prob go with Jupiter ballroom since we're only inviting 220-240 guests. Does anyone have any exp/comments with the venue? Plus we'll be goin with the muslim menu. From the other posts by pin&jie8275(pinjie8275) n 2002 (adnl2002), I guess signing up during the fair or before wouldnt make much diff. Prob is that Im in Australia, FH in Malaysia n parents in Europe so we're plannin this from outstation. Pls help! thanks

Hi 2002, mine is 5 days after the fair. I actually wanted Notvotel Clarke Quay but my dad find the ballroom too petty and the sales person also not flexible one. I haven't choose my theme and favour cos my AD is in Dec. Can send me the pic of the new theme?
Hi Lyana, I would suggest that u email the co-ordinator and ask for the venue layouts and packages, etc. Then inform them u r currently overseas. Or if u have a date in mind, even better. They may be able to reserve for u for a short time. =) Heard tha ttheir muslim food are nice... (^_^)
Hi mashi, u receive the invitation for the fair? So good! I ask my co-ordinator ytd abt the fair and he ask me to pick up from him if I want to attend. =(
Hi Shanni
By right, we are not allowed to take photos. I think this is a common rules among the BSs. Probably there are no one ard that day hence they close 1 eye lor... =P

so during the fair hotels will hv add in these freebies lor. thus ppl will wan to sign on the fair.

Hi mashi,
Last yr, I paid my own tickets to attend the fair. 5 days later, I signed up the banquet with them.
I think current FRF package already include free flow of beer and 1 night for helpers. Probably they will throw in additional night in bridal suite bah. In fact, I thought their current package have more things than what i have signed. At least they have 1 bottle of wine for every confirmed table...

U gals r rite, nw the hotel gif free flow of beer n 1 bottle of wine for every confirmed table. But I dun have both bcoz my bf is Muslim. So I ask for free nite stay for anniversary n 1 more nite stay. Tried to fight for 2 nites stay for helpers but was turn down.
I tink me and my bf too "meow" liao until I ask my co-ordinator to state clearly on all the freebies they offer and make sure all states in the contract.
During the day of signing of contract, my bf realise tat they nvr state on the table deco for the solemnization table so ask them to write and sign. No doubt they agreed verbally tat will deco it...which I'm afraid kana put aeroplace. Jus dun wanna to take any risk so gonna b veri thick skin to ask them to write...
Anyway...
mashi mashi,
I oso had confirmed my AD wif them n had paid the deposit. But dunno y the card still state S$18 per couple. My bf dun wanna go bcoz he dun wanna waste time to see the local BS or other vendors tat the hotel gonna have during the fair.

Hi Lyana,
I agreed wif mashi mashi, shanni& pin&jie8275, since you're in australia currently, you may wanna drop them an email to ask on their pkg (esp if you already selected your AD date-those v popular dates) coz I guessed again the response during their show this yr will be v v good coz I heard they closed ALOT of sales last yr. so if you are happy with their pkg and the ballroom concept etc...u need to act asap... hehe.. typical kiasu..

Hi mashi mashi, 2002, shanni & pin&jie8275,
have emailed furama and waiting for their response. Checked the package online and im pretty happy with everything, although I want to source out a real cake if they can find me one. Will be going with full Muslim food though.
am planning to go to the fair but will try bring my aunt instead, since bf and parents overseas. If we have signed up before then, will they give us the same package as in the fair? or do you think I will have to bargain for them?

Hi Shanni
U wanna PM me so that I can email u my package? (^_^)
Hi 2002, no worries! I will probably be going down on the 8 Nov then I take photo and post it here lor... hehehe....
Hi Lyana,
Since the fair is so close, I would suggest that u bargain for what u need and want, thereafter ask what is the fair promo and whether they can offer u the same on top of wat u have bargained. Either way lah. I think they should not have a problem finding real cake for u. But I would suggest u ask them for the quote and at the same time, u source ur own. I guess hotel normally would charge higher than outside cake shop, right?
Wedding is sort of a time to bargain!!! So the more u bargain, the more u save... No need paiseh cos' it's ur hardearned $$. Especially if u are saving for ur honeymoon.... ops.... Do I sound very cheapo?? -_-!!

Utimately, this is still a once a lifetime event... (^_^)

Hi all,
got the email from furama, my date is available but there is another couple who are tentatively looking at it too! Wha should I do? I can't decide anything till I see the place, n I only go back on the 2nd Nov, do you think they'll wait that long?
Told them I'll be going to the fair as well, so hopefully they take pity and give me time to decide..aiyooo...pening man..

Hi pin&jie8275,
I have PM u my email add liao. Thks.
Hi mashi mashi,
My bf told me tat our co-ordinator told him the fair is free when he went down to pay the deposit last sat. But I still haven called to confirm. Anyway now my bf like 50/50 wanna go like tat.
I agree wif u tat their reply is quite slow, tat's y normally I called or sms them directly. If nt reali dunno wait til when.
Hi Lyana,
I understand the hotel had jus increase the price for Weekday from S$478++ to S$550++. The food will be from their Kintamani Indonesian Restaurant which is jus next to the jupiter room at level 3. My bf went there b4 and he said the food is not bad, quite nice.
For me, I was given free flow fruit punch and orange juice and extra favours. Initiali I was onli offered fruit punch during the 1st meet up, but during the 2nd appt, I was offered xtra orange juices. It could b bcoz I have both Muslim and Chinese packages tat's y they throw in extra orange juice as we do not have any liquor. But no harm asking for juices or free night stay bcoz seriously Muslim packages dun reali have much things to ask for.
I guess u can check wif the hotel which ballroom is the couple lokin at. Then mus kiasu abit by doin ur hmwork fast n book the room u wan.
I have seen their bridal suite, not too small, still better than 1 hotel I've seen. Btw, jus curious...when is ur AD?
Anyway ladies,
Hope to see u all there during the wedding fair. Provided my bf wanna go. Hahaha...
