michelle: Maybe they can station the stage between the projectors? So you can have straight march in..

Michelle> wat i see is that "straight march in" will be that the couple will come in from the 1st door instead of the last door...so they just proceed up to the stage...

That is too short for a march in le..den I rather take L march in instead
saggiegirl

Stella> hmmm... ya lor... last time i went to some other hotel ballrooms only have short march in...then like "no excitement" 
but as we are taking the grand ballroom and having like close to 35 tables, so sure have L shape and long march in

Greentea> hee hee welcome to the hilton BTB gang
hmmm... for me i choose dinner due to timing issue and the number of guests involved (for me i have like 350 pax)... so lunch is out for me....
for u i can suggest: morning tea ceremony at guy's place > then go church > tea ceremony at church > go hotel > prepare for dinner...

for us, we are still contemplating to the red&black theme...but will change the seat covers coz it looks abit dark...

thanks ladies...
I think it's really high time i kickstart the preparations -especially for wedding invites.
Stella, you signed so recently and managed to get the date... very lucky.
guess you manage to get a lot of perks, esp with the economy downturn...
what's your package like? care to share?

starwee (starwee) : Previously I was with Carlton..due to certain unhappiness, we had to change our date and venue..mine is on wkday..previously is on wkend hot date..So siko with them..but anyway i have a date with Hilton, at least I am settled with one issue..another thing is that i find that Hilton's Lady J is quite firm and strict on certain things..I find that la..abit not flexible enough..
It's probably because of the hotel branding. Let's hope the service and outcome is 110% above expectations and satisfactory.
I am looking forward to a great wedding experience with Hilton. So hopefully, everything will be all good.
And i am glad i have you all to share and advice me along the way. Really appreciated.

Ev3 (ev3) : I agree w u..when we were at the weddin wrksop, we alias w pansy..but singin of contract is w june..she is abit stern..as u mention there is silence..not as outspoken and negotiable person
Hi,
Saggie> I spoke to Rachel b4. but it was June who we met yesterday. Stern, quite and makes me uncomfortable.
Stella> Yes, cant really negotiate with her.
I felt weird & disappointed.
I was really looking forward to meeting her n touring the ballrooms. my opinions to share after the visit:
Vista: The highlights is the crystal lightings. its very nice!
Paranoma: The highlight is pool by the ballroom, if wan solenmisation held, it is a good option.
Grandballroom, other than the pillars, it is generally good.
My personal consideration is tat Coordinator is impt as well. So i am now really considering...

Stella (strawberries1983):
For roman style, I believe you are referring to Seraphic Charm theme. I like that too! But not as lucky as you, booked my banquet last July and no free wine or 2 nights stay. My Day-Room only till 8pm!
Patsy (patgav):
Who is your coordinator? Mine is June; can't negotiate much!
