Hi Karen
Thanks for comforting me somewhat abt why I prob had to pay the surcharge. Actually my HTB was like "tsking-tsking" me for even attempting to bargain with Grand Hyatt abt reducing the surcharge. He thot they were really nice and we should just pay whatever cost they want us to....he's not from a bargaining culture (Australia) lah, as compared to Singapore..... =P
Andy was really nice. There were 2 different menus but he said we could choose some items from the more expensive weekend menus to replace the items from the weekday items at no extra cost which I thot was flexible and great! However, the weekday menu had like 8 items and weekend had 9 items so if we want 9 items, we gotta pay extra, which I thot was fair enuf.

hi girls!
marilyn~ you've got great pictures!
very very nice! just want to ask you - did you sprinkle the orchids rd the turntable for all the tables or just the VIP table?
i have to agree with everyone about hyatt's flexibility in their pkg. so far, they've been great! *thumbs up!*

You're right, Karen. In that respect, I have no worries or fears. I think even if a couple had to pay a higher surcharge, Hyatt will "compensate" in other matters. So, there's no loss. And with what I said earlier, I'll rather pay for the cost so that as you said, quality would not be affected. ;O)
Marilyn, love your pics!!! =O)

Hi veezusgal,
Hubby paid $2K for the deposit. Not sure if this is standard for hyatt.
Hi casy,
Don't really remember the centrepiece choices. Just remember that most of the centrepiece are not very elaborate and quite small so that they won't take up a lot of space for the turn-table. I think should not be a proble having assorted colored roses for the square container. Try discuss it with your coordinator

Hi casy,
my coord. told me that for the square container, there are 2 sizes (different set up). The one with about 10-12 of rose stalks inside, have to top up for it, cos a lot of roses used...expensive. Anyway for the guest tables, the centrepiece is removed before serving the first dish so no point paying more for those.

hi fong,
i've got 21 tables. So, it's not squeezy at all. What abt you?
Yes! I chose the tall flower for the VIP and it blocked some of my guests and then there's this waiter stood along the carpet and block my collegues view..hehe.. I think if you don't choose the tall vase, should be ok since hibiscus ballroom is not very big mah..

hallo hyatt brides!
sorry to intrude, but just to make a quick compliment on hyatt! recently attended a wedding at hyatt's hibiscus room, it was very nice and cosy, and the food was good! particularly the prawns which were very fresh - even my mom (who's usually quite blur.. hee) noted that!
cant remember the rest of the dishes, but all in all we felt rather satisfied with the food served, and we felt the ambience was lovely... so thumbs up for hyatt!

Don't think i can just wear the CS out like that lah...too short! May be I'll ask my seamstres to open 2 slits by the side to turn the CS into a top so that i can wear with my jeans.. see how..
jamie,

hi jamie,
err not sure abt this leh...but then i really doubth so they'll let you do this. If i'm not wrong, i think the weekday menu is 8 course. Yours is weekend? Nonetheless no harm in trying.

Hi shellzzz,
When is your AD? Which room did you get?
Hi Marilyn,
Think you managed to get lots of freebies cos yours was a last minute booking. I don't think we will be able to get extra sashes easily esp if our no of tables not a lot. But maybe I will try to get extra sash for the chairs at the aisle only... no harm to ask and see what they say...
Gals who have had their weddings at Hibiscus, did you all use the dry ice march in? Are there any other alternatives to that. I always find it stupid to have waiters stand there to pour water into the dry ice just before you walk by and then immediately remove the whole bucket after you pass it. I saw a video sample by a videographer once and the banquet manager who was there coordinating the dry ice effect ended up blocking the videographer instead. Any comments on this?

hi karen,
actually, i cannot remember whether i had the dry ice effect..heheh, I'd put party-poppers and sprays on all the tables along the aisle. so, i busy "siam" here and there...my guests were having lots of fun and the pop-pop and zzz sounds of the spray made the march in so lively and fun!
it really lightened up the whole affair!
so, may be u can replace the dry ice effect with the party-poppers??
