Hi Evon,
thot usually dinner will start at around 8 - 8.30pm...latest by 8.45pm, cos the dinner gotta end by 10.30-11pm, and during this time, gotta do two march-ins and go round tables to toast and take photos.
Hope this helps. =)

Hi Evon..
Yup sat dinner prob start about 845.. 830 is abit on the tight side.. Solemnisation takes abt 15mins & tea ceremony is quite fast actually depending how many relatives you have.. You arrange 1 jiemei to help pour tea & rinse tea cups, 1 hold the tea cups to present to yr relatives & 1 to know the order of relatives so she can get ready them..

Hi Evon,
me too think 7.15pm a bit late. Why not check with your wedding coordinator to plan out the schedule? Think the staff of the hotel also needs time to prepare for each of the segment / event of the night? For instance, they may need time to set up the stage for the dinner after the solemnisation and tea cer (that is, if u using).....just my two cents' worth...hope this helps.

Evon.. This is just a suggestion, why not just have yr tea ceremony before 7pm.. You can have yr solemnisation done just after yr 1st march in.. Alot of people are doing this.. which is good, cos more people can witness..
tea ceremony for both sides or only one side? to speed things up, may i suggest, get 4 cups (or more) ready for use, then get ur jie meis to help wash the cups, replenish the tea or take the cup from you as someone else passes u the next cups. And get someone to get ur relatives ready too... so u dont have to waste time looking for whos next.
ur solemnization is ends at 6.... the rest of ur guest can go for cocktail but then again, go for a 1 hour plus cocktail i a bit sian leh.. can u do the tea ceremony earlier in the day?

Hi bigboy,
Sorry I just came back from my honeymoon
I did not took the L march-in in the end but my walk-in is still okie. Hee...maybe I was very nervous already so I just hope to quickly walk to the stage. My wedding went very smoothly that night. Jasmine is a great help to us. My hubby is very please with her working attitude too. She stayed til the wedding is over and make sure nothing goes wrongly.
As for the food, except the yam paste is a bit chucky that night, everything were good(Guests feedbacks). The foods was in big potion too.
Really thanks FRF and Jasmine in giving me such a memorable night.

Kelly yr hubby so smart.. haha.. enough time for makeup, actually depends on whether you wanna mingle with yr guests before dinner starts.. I went upstairs to do my makeup at about 645, I still got time to come down to talk abit to my friends in my cocktail dress then change to wedding gown before 1st march in.. But very rush, my mind was like a whirlpool.. Haha.. But I not very nervous.. enjoying every moment I have then..

Hi Koceano,
Where you went for your honeymoon? We are going to Japan this march after CNY... hopefully can see the sakura...
Good to hear all went well for your wedding. Kudos to Jasmine and the crew... Who did you get for your banquet manager?
Johh, Yes, we did march in together. We came in through Jupiter 3 and turned left as soon as we came in (just along the wall). We find that this way, we can group the guest together. You can ask Jasmine about our (Jay n Tracy) March-in.
Evon, you can get the tea set from FRF if you doing the tea ceremony. They got quite a nice set.

evon... so those pple attending the solemnization are the ones attending the tea ceremony? hm.. then i dont much of an issue.. Cos family mah, they will spend time chatting amongst themselves. If u had guest who are invited to solemnization but not to tea ceremony then maybe a bit sian for them lah..

Hi all,
I got a question. I understand that there are usually 2 VIP tables. Then where are my paternal grandparents and parents supposed to sit? I mean, at which table?

Crystaldolphin..
My family discussed this issue before, who sits on the VIP table : usually its each set of paternal grandparents & parents sit for 1 VIP table each.. followed by dad's bros & wifes if there are still enough seats.. Dad's sis would do as well.. Who gets to sit VIP table depends on seniority..

i have seen two scenarios b4:
1: grooms family and bride herself sit at one table, while brides family sit at another
2: couple and both set of parents sit at one VIP table along with grandparents and other VIP table is shared amongst couple's uncle and aunties (based on seniority)

hi kelly..
Wic montage are you talking about? I got a few.. Hehe.. Some I did on my own & others we engaged some1.. Were u n yr hubby there when they were testing all the DVDs? The pics of pre-wedding pics & ROM slideshow, I actually did it myself.. The childhood pic was done by Academy Video, compliments of Frf, cos my package was signed up during the previous wedding show & the videos with montage are done by Vocare Media Sam Tan [email protected] / 90264216.. Cos Sam works very good, so I got an entire package which includes AD photography & videography & highlights too so I not very sure how much they charge for just the video & montage..
Feel free ask Sam, he been most helpful for my wedding.. Some of the prewedding pics also taken by him..

Thanks for all your advice. =)
Hi, I'm looking at FRF to hold my solemnisation cum wedding lunch (coz dun intend to hold a separate dinner later
). Went down today and had a very pleasant encounter with the coordinator. Was shown the new Mecury Room which has full length windows on both sides showing the poolside on one side and lots of greenery (with the waterfall) on the other. Really like the place but is concerned about 1 thing. The Mecury Room is divided into 3 rooms - Mecury I, Mecury II and Mecury III for ROM events. We understand that all three rooms will be occupied on our wedding day. Is worried if all the ROM are carried out at the same time, would there be confusion/chaos amongst our guests as the area leading to the rooms (which is the poolside) is quite small and this is also the area where the cocktail reception will be. Anyone with a similar experience can advise pl. I really like the place and the coordinator and would want to confirm the place for my special day except for this one item
hmnnn i did summerice...the coordinator told us yesterday that shd be ok coz wun be too packed and guests wun go to the wrong room for food...just worried coz we both hope everything can be perfect...sign...a bit stress with all the preparations too mine is just a simple ROM cum lunch...
