Hi Jennie, also think long march in better coz get to soak in the atmosphere better
But that's just my 2 cents. No choice some guests on the lower side might not see you that clearly when you march in... But for videos, u can put an extra projector on the other side so that guests can still see clearly!
Jennie, i'm also looking at NCQ and HIPV also...
But i've not been to site inspections so haven decide yet. Is it true HIPV has more perks than NCQ? How many tables of guests you will be having?
Haha my concerns are also the pillars and the different level of ceiling of HIPV.
Shanice, the machine is in front at the stage meaning only when the couple march in nearing to stage then can see the bubbles? So how when they start march in? Can have both dry ice effect then the bubbles? Hahaha... I think i will ask the Coord when i visit the venue.

Hi All
Thank you so much for the advice.
Guess I will stick with the ideal to have a long march-in... More grand ya.
Glad, thanks for the reminder! Yes I intend to put another projector on the other side so that the guest at the low ceiling side will be able to view it. Like many other BTB in HIPV, I dont want the guest there feel neglected.
Xinling, yes I have viewed the NCQ ballrroom.
It is also very nice, pillarless & with tall ceiling. Another plus point is the spacious reception area.
However, I chose HIPV bcoz of its cozy ambience & the classy look from the chandelier despite the pillars & low ceiling on one side. I signed during wedding show so better benefits was given. (Voucher given) Other perk like freeflow of beer.. which i think NCQ only offered 1 barrel... Have to dbl check again...
nt259,I think its okie if you can discuss with your driver beforehand. My friend give another extra ang pow as a token to the driver for fetching her parents.

Oops! Xinglin forgot to answer your qns in regards to the number of tables....
Mmmm... Tentatively, we planned to have 28 tables. Hopefully, nothing more than 30 tables.

xinglin: Yep my AD is just 2 weeks away!!! I'll be having 32 tables + 2 reserves. I like the bubbles effect too! I'll check with Vasanthi again the next time i speak to her.
glad: Yep, you're right. There're lotsa minor details to handle. Any tips for me?
jennie: I agree with the rest. I think a long straight march in is more grand. I'll be using that layout too.
Next Sat is my GDL & An Chuang! Quite excited...
I picked my wedding favours already. I picked 2 -- bookmark & the magnetic photoframe. I wanted more practical items for my guests.

Hi Terrapin Lover,
Agreed with you, and also for NQC, the check-in lobby is not so nice as HIPV. First impression counts when walking into a hotel.....This is what I think..

Hi Jo
Yup, I got an extra projector at the other side and yup, it can be linked so that the videos can play at the same time. Didnt pay for it tho coz borrowed the projector fr my friend.
Hi Pris,
SO exciting!! It has been 2 wks since my wedding is over hee. I think you are well prepared already! My only advice is to just enjoy the big day and let your helpers run the show! And bound to have some glitches here and there but just smile and be a happy bride!

Hi Jo
No prob. I invited 4 Malay colleagues and informed them b4hand that is not halal certified but thats only coz the hotel serves liquor
And they like the food, in fact my other colleagues 'koped' some of their food coz they can't finish it so funny...

Hi jesdreamz
The flower stands/crystal are placed along alternate tables, if I rem correctly. So there are abt 4 tables along the aisle. So there are 2 flowerstands each along the aisle. Pls cfm this with your coord
I chose the wine charm and bear keychain as my favours. I think the guests find the charms quite unique - a few of them thought they were earrings even haa..

Hi all,
I am keen to know more about HIPV. Any good or bad reviews about HIPV (other than pillars and low ceilings)?
How is the food there? Heard from some forum comments that the food served are cold and not nice.
Who will u recommend as coordinator? What are the perks that i can ask for?

Hi girls,
Juz signed the contract with HIPV and wedding date is on 11 Nov 2008. Dealt with Vasanthi and she was very helpful and affable. went with the crystal theme and I think thats 1 of its more pouplar choice. With the venue settled, next on the list is the bridal shop. Anyone has a good recomendation? Was thinking of looking at Bridal Zone and Bridal Concept, anyone been to these 2 bridal shops b4?

Hi aquarberry,
My wedding date will be on the same month as u. Mine will be on 2 Nov 2008. Do u ask for the perks of the wedding show to be extended to u now? Adeline is willing to extend the perks to me. What we need to do is placed $1000 deposit first to chop the date, then pay the rest of deposit to entitle to perks of wedding show.
Maybe u can go down to look at these 2 BS photo albums, gowns and hairdo first. Do give urself more choices of BS too. Most of the BS are quite pushy, never tempt into their offers, but rather u tell them that u need some time to consider first. Personally i would recommend Sophia Wedding Collection (SWC) and Julia Wedding News (JWN). SWC and JWN have many gd reviews in the forum. I am using SWC. If there is any question, u can email to me: [email protected]

I've checked with Adeline and my wedding date has been taken up at HIPV.
Actually i was quite disappointed when i went to HIPV. My hubby also don't really like it.
Plus the reception area is too small.
And of cos the restaurant beside the ballroom no doubt i really like the Crystal ballroom (except the lower ceiling)... keke
Hi Terrapin Lover, thanks for your advice for NCQ and HIPV comparisons ya!
Hi sockie, I've a few places to in mind and don't wanna rush to decide on a venue.
My AD is next year Dec

Hi xinglin,
Think u will not like Furama City Centre, as i feel HIPV gives a more classy look with its chandelier in ballroom. It gives more attractive perks than NCQ especially for the coming wedding show. Though the reception area is small, but it gives pple a cozy and warm ambiance. In addition, it is very accessible from somerset mrt. Different pple have different likings. It's impt to choose the venue that u are comfortable with.
Some people advise that it's better to book the venue one year ahead. If yours is a hot date or weekend, u better hurry to book the venue that u like. I already face the difficulty to book HIPV and Club Chinosis. Luckily the couple who placed a tentative booking in HIPV let us have the venue. Wishing u all the best in ur search for venue
Hi Shanice,
Glad that u like ur car plate. Are u intending to use it for ur photoshoot?

Xinglin, one thing u need to consider also is the carpark for NCQ. same as u, i was also considering Furama city ctr, riverview, hipv and NCQ. I love NCQ simply becos of the exclusive reception area and no pillar high ceiling ballroom but my bf dun like it cos the area is inaccessible for my guests to come. Therefore, we took HIPV , again because of the location. I have personally attend wedding dinner for furama city ctr and riverview, in the 1st impression for cityctr, u will not like it cos it is v old but the ballroom have newly renovated and it is v nice n grand. As for riverview, nothing really impressed...especially the food...taste..

dearris, mine is 20 wedding dinner in orchid room not ball room
Hi peace13,
I just met up with Adeline not long ago.
We find her quite rigid, and kept saying that this was the best offer in town, and thus refused to give extra perks. We only managed to negotiate for late check out time for bridal suite and extra carpark coupons. Tat's all. Who is ur coordinator?
Are u thinking of signing up this weekend? It will be better to just tentatively paid a deposit first to secure the AD but the rest of deposit paid on coming wedding show.
