Thanks ribbons...me still undecided on the themes yet, still hoping they will have some new ones when my AD is near...=)

And congrats to Mebbie! Glad to hear that you enjoyed your day...=)
 


Soeur actualli I luv their venus & had booked dat for my AD....one of d negative point i feel personally is d carpet which i dun fancy....hope they can do a bit of refurbishment to venus soon....
 
Ya but you know wat Stnov?? i went to HIPV and i was really disappointed as i feel that their pictures are so deceiving...but then as i hv no expectation of FRF so when i went there in fact i was impressed...i dint manage to see the venus in detail as there was a wedding going on...so i will chk it out again.

you saw their bridal suite? how is it? is it old?
 
stnov... i didnt like the carpet too, but trust me on ur weddnig day that would be the last thing on ur mind!!!

focus ur attention on being prett, walking tall, trying not to fall, your guest, and the pretty decor.... =)
 
i'm new to the acc, holding my weddin dinner this coming dec @ FRF, however recently they increase the price of the tables...
Few days b4 they increase the prices, I did enq on their 1% cess charge however they say is still not finalise by IRAS yet...
Tink they increase is because they knw IRAS going to waive off the 1% cess charge th's why they increase the table charges.
 
Hi Crissy,

Any idea what is the new price range now?
What is the perks they norm offer?
I have yet to sign the contract with them and wish to find out more.
 
soeur....dats wat i heard abt HIPV dat their place is a little old but their perks are pretty attractive.....carpet is pretty minor cos on dat day it will be 'covered' wif tables & chairs so hardly visible after all......but hope they can change to more trendy ones as sumtimes old carpet might give off 'carpet smell'....

ribbons.....sure trust u cos u speaking based on experience....not a major concern but it would be a 'nice to have' wish lor......kekeke......
 
Soeur miss ur qtn.....they have a few bridal suite so it oso depends on which one u are given but generally it is not too bad.....cheers~~~
 
Stnov,

hi hi.. yup ok, will try to enjoy the process n nt to be so stressful over the whole event.. thanks for the advice ya..

ribbons, agree wif wat you say man... i doubt we will hav the time to bother abt the carpet although i also personally do not like it and the worst actually is the Las Veg tingy outside..
 
glad wats d Las Veg tingy u refering to???

heards dat they shd be changing their favors soon but no idea to wat....
 
just met with Jasmine n must say we like her service veri much, the package very attractive too.
will shortlist first while we still looking around
 
Hi gals! I also went down to take a look at Venus ballroom, and I was served by Francis Yim, the banquet service manager. It was kinda last min, so initially they dun allow us to view the ballroom cos no wedding function today. We think the package is very attractive too! Also went to Copthorne King's (jus nex door). How abt Novotel Clarke Quay and Holiday Inn Atrium? Which of them offer a better deal? Thanks gals

welcome bk & Yan.....

Yan...perhaps u could call them directly to arrange for a meetup & viewing of ballroom as well which will assist u in comparing the few u have in mind.....njoy!!!
 
Hi both iceblue & netfinity

Is an announcement fr govt, it states that GST increase to 7%, all rest will not have the 1% cess charge, is a confirm things

However when i asked the FRF (my co-ordinator), the reply they gave is that IRAS has not confrim will waive for hotel but is confirm for rest.

So i'm wondering anybody knws whether my co-ordinator is telling me the truth or not..
sad.gif


Perks is still the same, pricing incease by $20 per tables, that was like if u count back rite, the $20 increase is the actually to offset the 1% cess waiver..

Hope it clarifies the infor, & correct me if i'm wrong

Stnov,

hehe.. sorry cos i can get to post Veg*s, replacing the * with "a" the KTV outside lo.. hmm.. im askin my coordinator if there is any change of favours anot..

welcome bk n Yan, agree wif Stnov, better to go direct for meet up n viewing lo.. enjoy the viewing ya..
 
netfinity...if i din rem wrongly montage shd b by Academy....as to themes....it will b largely sujective....hoping dat there might b new themes wen my AD draws nearer.....
 
Hi netfinity

Cess is a tax of 1% levied on all cessable items sold by tourist hotels, tourist food establishments and tourist public houses.

Eg u go KTV or rest, u will c +++ aft the stated pricing, 1 + means GST, 2 + means service charge, 3 + means cess charge, it applies to all food & berverages...

Me too signing the contract next week, i hvnt discussed for the perks yet
happy.gif
so cant be of help.

I'm seeking for help here,to see anyone can tell me what perks to ask for, & what can b given.
 
Hi Stonv and netfinity,

hi dolphin n ladies,

share sm gd news!

w.e.f 1st July 0% cess will be implemented. i emailed iras to check. but could any1 confirm the term of 'gazetted hotel' first?

as it was mentioned the 0% will be for both F&B as well as gazetted hotel.
 
cms july i will hav to check wif my coordinator again. i assumed since gst is prevailing charges wil become 7% even though i sign contract last yr, so this waiver believe is apply to all rite?since this 1% cess no longer in effect
 
hi crystaldolphin......my contract is not wif mi here but I vaguely remember dat during d 'promo' period, there's a choice of either 30 pixs montage or 1 hr pianist (sumthg of dat nature)....hope I din recall wrongly....ladies pls correct mi if im wrong....however all tis are offered if confirmed b4 d wedding show in Oct 2006.....

by & large I would still thk dat FRF is offering reasonable price & perks coupled wif great service by d team from FRF.....hope I've help to sum extent.....=)
 
Hi hi Stnov, yes you are rite..when we sign up durin the weddin show last year, we are given a choice of wat you mention lo.. memory not failing.. hehe.. =)
 
thks glad for confirming....have not looked into d contract since then....nearly forgotten totally abt montage...kekeke....

hws everything going for u huh.....still managable....=)
 
Hi iceblue

Is actually confirm @ PM Lee rally. However when i asked my co-ordinator she deny & said is not confirm, & a week ltr the price of the table increases & she still havent tell me the 1% cess charge is waiver, instead still quote me +++ with the cess charge. Th's what i'm not happy abt.

And 1 thing to ask u, for the food sampling, is a complimentary or need to pay?
 
Hi iceblue, i'm a bit blur regarding the +++ issue. If the 1% cess charge is waived, then what would be the nett amount i need to pay if my wedding package on the weekend which FRF quoted is $558+++ ? Pls advice. Thank you.
 
no prob net.....dats wat we are here for...to share & support one another thru tis 'critical' day of ours....kekeke....

so finally u have decided upon MBR.....any updates so far...
 
Hi Netfinity & iceblue,

You mean is a complimentary food tasting? My co-ordintor told me i have to pay $538 for 10 person food tasting ah? I asked for free but she told me i have to pay, they nvr give complimentary, OMG...

Yes i ald said i confirm fr iras regarding the cess charge, however she insisted that the charge is not finalise yet. Th's why i now felt a bit cheated
sad.gif
So i was wondering what perks i can ask so that i'll not pay for nothing
sad.gif
