hi grace,
i got it at $220++ breakfast additional charge.
i did check out their website promo and online rates.The diff is not big, outside charge the breakfast more ex i think then most imptly if book with them, they can try arrange all the rooms to be same floor with bridal suite.
if book separately online then dunno where la...if u dun mind then its ok, but seriously diff only like $20 ba..then hor u can neg with ur coordinator for free breakfast la...so u just pay for room.

hi soulvista,
i also choose 2 wks b4...actually ok la
by then settle everything at 1 go, he will ask you the theme, color etc for ballroom and also the favours cos aft deciding u dun need do anything on ur side so ok la. But do test out ur cds if you are bringing ur own songs, montage etc...on the actual day will be too late cos using laptop is not encouraged.lucky i tried b4hand cos the 1st version i burn cannot play...scary..imagine it happening on actual day..

hi all, im considering FRF as our wedding venue for next year. Perks really attractive coz got free flow beer n wine. Price reasonable and within our budget. Jupiter is out.
Mercury got a few things we do not like. Low ceiling, alot of pillars (pillars quite big, block alot of view). They have the screens for those being blocked, but i feel guests want to see u in person rather than on screen. And i read earlier posts that the wine sux... So all these are minus points.
Hope to get more feedback on this place before i confirm. Thank you.

EL, I agree on the part that Mercury room has alot of pillar, but think if you have not so much tables, like 20-25, they can arrange the tables such tt it does not block.. usually if u have 30 tables, they will propose using the venus ballroom where it is pillarless..
Food wise, i would say their menu is quite limited.. overall the serving is quite big.. wine wise, tt time we tried, all of us find it very dry.. PIL mentioned tt cos the wines are too young.. We only have 1 bot/table so we decided to get our own wines and then keep theirs as backup or jus keep and hope it gets better.. haha..

hi catz, there was a dinner when we went there and the wedding planner showed me the 27 tables... i counted about 5-6 tables got blocked. Exclude those partially blocked tables. Dun think we can get 30 tables... So Venus will not be available for us.
1 thing i like about Mercury is the long march-in... can do something interesting using it... hahaha...
Btw, wad wine they give you?

jeanie,
i think its best that you call them up and check with them.
also arrange to view the ballrooms.
if for 20 tables, for jupiter room,
u can arrange in a way that not much
of tables being blocked by the pillers. =)
Heartz,
best to check with the co ordinator.
also arrange for viewing of the ballroom. =)
hmm.. u can contact my co ordinator,
his name is Halim, his contact is 9450 2784.
he gave me very good deals. ^_^

yes, Jeanie...i agre with them....it's best to go down n view their ballroom during one of the nites where they have an actual wedding dinner...so at least u can have a view of the wedding dinner setup...
if not, u can view Jupiter ballroom thru my multiply....do u have multiply? add me then u can see the pics...it's gracephua

thanks Grace!!! ok i go add u now
ya i wanted to go down and sEe see.. but this Fri i got a meetin with a coordinator @ Orchard Parade hotel.. one of the few i've shortlisted
Furamar Riverfront seems not bad too.. the perks of $1k++ rebates is reallie attractive!!!
if I am to have a wedding on Dec 2010.. do you all think u should book now? since perks is gd? or should i wait?
so confusing abt this decision.. sigh!

jeanie, sorry i haven't had time to add u to multiply yet...will try to do so tonite cos office dun have access to multiply
well, my suggestions r dun rush into tis first...look at a few hotels....would be good for u both to take a look at the ballrooms when there's actual dinner setup so u can have an idea of how ur wedding dinner would be like if u decide to hold ur dinner at the particular place/hotel/restaurant...
to be v honest, i do noe tat FRF is not the only hotel tat has the S$1k++ rebate thingy these days...so i would really beg to differ...
well, only u both can decide for urselves cos it's going to b paid by u guys n also, it's ur wedding afterall...just do the scrutinizing thing...dun have too many choices until u both become @@ but at least 2-3 choices so u can compare to see which is good....once u have decided, then proceed...dun wait cos sometimes the prices go up every half yrly...
FYI - our wedding is sept tis yr...we booked FRF in dec 2007 so i shd say tat u r not too early for tat

w3n, see FRF's website...they have it there
Jeanie, dun kancheong...just wait n see first...i doubt most of them here have it...mostly either taking venus or mercury so shdn't be bah...those who take jupiter seem to hardly come in here...
incidentally, we did shortlist OPH previously too...but hb's quite tall so didn't choose OPH in the end though their food's good

yaloh...agree with EL...if u want to check out winter...hokkaido would b nice cos they r well-known for their winter sculpture festival...
as for spring, those places in japan tat blooms with beautiful flowers like tokyo n some parts of hokkaido...or even osaka...
seriously depends on where u r looking at, raine

hi raine, if u got the budget den go for both. each got their own plus n minus points n also their "beauty" n "feel". i would assume u r more to scenic n maybe culture so those places which grace mentioned r fine. but diff ppl diff preferences... n like wad grace said, it depends on where u r looking at.

actually they looked ok to me (when we went there to view). mercury had a wedding dat day so it was already done up. cant really tell if it looks old. the negative thing bout mercury is the big pillars. my 2 cents worth la...
