Harrows Joanna,
You would have to put a 4K deposit if you were to confirm with Hilton. As for the freebies i got, its not alot as compared to wat the other gals are receiving. I only negotiate for a 10 person food tasting instead of 6 and an additional nite in the bridal suite (But its subjected to availability). I tried to get the projector fee and wine corkage waived but June refused. So no choice lor...I will be taking the grand ballroom.
Themes wise, I have not confirmed as of yet coz its still a long way before my AD. The old weekday rates are attractive at $680/table, u got a good deal. Anyway, when is your AD?
