chercher> i think the themes are more or less fixed during their last show in apr this year
we are thinking of either the crystal theme or the red-black theme
will confirm ard 3rd week of Aug
for the angpao box wise, we have the box and the cute bears, so we will go and buy nice ribbons and do a simple deco... and also the box can be "recycled" to put other stuff after the wedding...

Long time did not comt to this forum, been to europe for seven weeks and just back last week. Received reminder from Rachel that august will be my busy month : food tasting, theme selection and card printing. Anyone can enlighten me what is the hot theme and the hot card selection.

hi heer , I have decided to take the panorama room instead. I have actually went down 3 times to view the two rooms and decided the panorama night view is very unique. I like the vista room very much but I find the reception area a little less exclusive.
hi Chercher, I'm taking the 04 Jan 2010 date instead.
But my customary would be on 03 Jan 2010.

hihi, thks. If in that case there are only three themes then in that case i will probably go for the crystal or red and black themes. today we will go down to hilton to see the theme becoz there is a wedding there.

the black and red theme is nice too. but you have to select your evening gown colour carefully in order not to clash with the red and black theme
I hv some pics of the themes in my multiply account. feel free to add me to view:

Hi, am new here. Just went down to Hilton today and have tentatively booked the grand ballroom for my AD in jul 2010. I have 2 weeks to put down my deposit of $4k.
June gave me the same package for 2009 plus 3 of the 5 extra perks given for the 2009 DBS/ UOB perks. They are the free wine corkage of 1 bottle for evry 2 tables, free use of LCD projector and an additional weekend stay at the executive suite.
I did not realise that only one projector is provided until I read thru the past few posts in this thread. Have any of you manage to negotiate for extra projectors foc or is paying or swopping perks the only way to get the projectors?
By the way, for those of you who's gotten a day room for helper, did you have to request for it? Being the blur one, i thought the executive suite will do for everyone but it seems like a day room is quite normal for helpers.
Last of all, from what I have read and from my interaction with June today, it seems like hilton do not really provide extra beer or wine unless there's credit card promo. Please correct me if I m wrong.
Sorry for the lengthy post and questions. Thought I should get everything clearer before i put down my deposit and regret that I did not ask more.

shin> hey
for us we did not use any credit card promo...
we exchange our anniversary voucher for FOC projector...
we did not have any helper room coz i only have 2 helpers
and then 2 others to help me only during dinner time...so dun really need a room
yup... standard is 1 barrel of beer
but we have 1 bottle corkage waiver for each table

shin (shin24) : i took up UOB promo, which means unlimited waiver corkage, additional nite stay, day rm for helpers, additional projector, 24 bottles wines to be consumed within ballroom
virtual> I gave yet to pay my deposit, June gave me 2 weeks from today to decide and pay the deposit.
The thing is, after discussion with my brother when I got home, I realised that getting additional wine is going to add on to the expenses substantially as only half the corkage is waived. Understand that even if we were to purchase the wine direct from Hilton, corkage must be paid too.
Plus, there's only 1 barrel of beer. Even if we were to purchase an additional barrel if the beer runs out, what happens if the guest cannot finish the second barrel. It's 30 litres, how to bring back home? haha.
Now I am in half a mind to postpone the signing of the contract & placing the deposit until sept where there may be credit card promo and I can get either more wine or beer foc. My AD is in July 2010, btw, not exactly a hot date.
Our guests are big drinkers, hence the worry on alcohol.
Would appreciate if any fellow hilton-ers have any comments/ advice.

hey shin,
i think u got a better deal than some of us in the sense that you have an additional night stay at the exec suite.
for the free barrel of beer wise, im also worried, becus im not sure whether my guests are beer drinkers, my friends definitely more of wine ppl, but the older folks, very hard to say since my dad also dun really know. but what my coordinator said was depending on the time that the first barrel finishes, they will advice u on whether to open another barrel, or to serve by per can basis which i cant remem how much now, lets say if the first barrel finishes at 8.30 then most likely is to open second barrel, but if finish at 9.30pm, then better to open by per can.. and i think even if we open second barrel, dun think we can bring home the unfinished beer leh hehe..
if u think u can wait till sept and can also forgo the chance of not having hilton as your banquet venue, then can wait la, but sometimes i think better to be safe than sorry..
my 2 cents..
hope this helps
