Hi @stley
Yups, during the food tasting, as there is 2 types of menu for the weekends, hence we actually swap and taste different food from the menu. They even let us taste the wine that will be given complementary to us during the wedding. U can make changes to the menu and june will inform u if certain changes need to be charge..
Overall i feel that june is very accomodating and friendly

Hi CAT,
I saw the pics just now....
the one with the fountain is the one using orange roses with the wooden sticks standing on the stage, abit like shakespear.... then the flower stand below the stage is using multi colors roses
shower of love should be the one with red roses... forgot to ask
Actually, all 3 themes are all roses, its only the color different.
BTW, your AD also next year right?
June told me that earliest by next year FEB or latest by March they will have new themes coming up... 'Cos next month onwards is wedding peak season so they have no time to discuss with the florist yet. And if you wanna add in some Lilies, you will need to top up around $50 - $100

Hi princess79, one other way is to inform hilton you need to reduce the number of tables. They won't reduce the cost but think they will give you vouchers for the extra tables. Say you have only 24 tables, so the other 3 will be in vouchers then can use next time
At least tables will not go to waste..

Only 2 choices: 1) distribute the extra tables food equally to other tables, which they will have bigger quantity or 2) You packed all the extra tables food home..but not including soup base, u can bring your own container if u wan...
...sigh so troublesome, what if got 3 tables extra, how to pack home then...no other choices liao...

hi princess79,
I chose my card already. The cards are not bad...better than some hotels where you have no choice in the design. I chose a long, red card.
I know some of my colleages can't go. I confirmed 30 tables with Hilton. I hope that there would be enough guests. Invite all partners? Maybe I should give out in oct too. Sept seems too early, hee.

Kalbarri, are the rates for weekday? um....
I think there is an increase already for weekend banquet.
Current rates has increased for 2006. Current weekend rate is at 850/950nett depending on menu, excluding wine cockage surcharge.
Met June today at Hilton, when I happen to pop by to see the set up. Very happy that June actually remembered me...even though my AD is next year 2006..impressive!!!

ph yes, those are weekday rate for 2006, i not sure about 2005 now should be at least lesser ba....weekend is as CAT say one!
OH how is june? my coordinator is Jaclyn she also quite nice, now made tentative booking only wishing to confirm but also got another hotel on hand on consideration.

cos waiting to see whether they can give more beer...hee...kalbarri, They won't give much increase of beer one lah, they just increase to approx 90 glasses of beer. Some of those who had booked earlier Jan-March 05 had better "freebies" loh..like additional 1 more night..and few bottles wine cockage waive(you can try asking)I am not he lucky one cos I booked much later...heh heh...
The details cannot really remember le..think it's like this for 20 tables at vista room :
1. 90 glasses of beer
2. Food tasting for 10 PAX
3. 20% complementary carpark passes
4. Choice of 2 flavours on alternative seats
Standard stuff:
1. 180+++ per extra deluxe room for SIL
2. cockage for wine at SGD15 per bottle
3. House wine at SGD 25 per bottle
4. Buffet dinner at checkers brasserie for your 1st wedding anniversary
5. comlementary white cover seats for all guests chairs( without decor )
6. VIP x2 Tables including decor
6. 1 night suite room
I dun have much freebies la..as you can see they are just slight increase only and the standard ones as what I indicated.
From what I know 2006 all hotel prcing will increase so if you are keen better to book now not sure if they will still increase.
Also major hotels now dun give much freebies lor..if you want additional night free or wine cockage waiver think not in Hilton...the last I know was those who had booked earlier, they only have few bottles free...
now.....haiz..nothing...leow...

Kalbarri...
If i'm not wrong...think Hilton's giving 1 free bottle of red wine per table for new bookings in 2006. So u'll be saving on the wine corkage for that. U might want to bargain for more beer... if u have a large no. of tables and maybe wine corkage waiver incase u wanna have white wine. =)

Hey thanks for info, just talked to them, is also for about 20 tables weekday package at $720nett 2006 june. yah they give complimentary red wine per table without corkage, presume 20 tables should use less than 20 red wine hopefully? yah beer only they give to 90 glasses, trying to ask for more.. but they do charge $300 for projector wo...dunno how to get them waive it off..seem 2 much to bargain ...

Hi Cat
I think as a new ruling since this year ... I signed in May this year for my wedding in Mar next year ... there's no waiver for projectors... if u want ,, u can bring in your own projectors then u won't be charged. However ... not too sure how the effect would be like coz June was telling me Hilton GrandBallroom's 2 projectors are ceiling mounted while if i were to bring in my own .. would prob be on some elevated table ... with all the wiring around i guess... =))
