[xiao_lambie]

Hi gals,

Anyone using Krystal or WaiLing as their coordinator?

Please comment on their service.

I have seen mixed comment on the food. What about the hotel service during dinner?

Please advise. Tq =)

 

[dearris]

Hi Ham ham

what is yr multiply ? i also want to see

Hi Xiao Lambie

Regarding the food, during food tasting is great

But the AD just so-so maybe becos of the volume ? As the service for the dinner .. i would say, so-so ... not too bad .. but maybe becos of the ratio of the waiters to the table... is 1 is to 2 or 3 tables ?

U cannot except alot pa ?? that is how i felt during my sister wedding dinner.. but overall the captains are very helpful.

btw, anyone dinner is in sept or oct and hv not get wines yet ? any lobang or good recommedation ? or maybe we buy together and get good discount ?

 

[hushbear]

hi hamham,
tks for adding me, what's ur id? i couldn't see u in my contact leh...

 

[hushbear]

hi hamham, i saw ur photos! nice! ur gown is pretty, love the bare back. how much did u spend on ur divine gown? wanted to go for divine but over budget for me...

[blue_crystal81]

Hi All,

I'm new here. HIPV is in 1 of my shortlist.
Can pls share the pros and cons, and any pics I can see?
Plan to have around 20 - 22 tables for weekend, is it possible?

 

[hushbear]

hi blue crystal, if im not wrong, you can only tk crystal ballroom if u hv a min of 25 tables. anything lesser than 25, can only hold it in the ballroom downstairs (orchid?)-which can be quite cosy too. maybe u can check if weekday is still possible.. have u been to HIPV? it's best to go down and see personally, its the 'feel'. to me, the crystal ballroom is very romantic & grand

 

[chubby_ting]

Hi Girls,

I just been to HIPV. Here is a preview of the ballroom! V V V V V nice! I like it.... considering nw....

 

[chubby_ting]

Heres another one (Recept Aea).... for your viewing pleasure

[fairybride]

Hi gals, I am a new HIPV bride. My AD is dec 2008, still a long way but I've confirmed my dinner already. If you all don't mind, please add me in multiply too! I've just registered an ID fairybride. Thanks!

 

[karenlee0923]

Hi

I have also signed up with HIPV. My AD is in Nov 08. Long way to go..but Im not really comfortable with my Coordinator leh...her name is Cherine..She told me she will send us the contract within 1 wk from the date we signed... we signed up during their wedding workshop in Aug...now already 3rd week le..still no news..my htb just emailed her..and she said will be sending us the contract soon...dunno when... anyway, the best thing I like about HIPV is the ballroom....the 3 chandelier just bought me over..haha..but I feel that my coordinator is not very informative...during the workshop..coz we have first spoke to derrick first..so he furnished us with lots of perks..then when Cherine came over to explain to us..the things she told us diff from Derrick..and we had no choice but to quote derrick...hahaa...

 

[fairybride]

I guess they probably have a lot of contracts to churn out. I just received mine on Mon so you probably will receive yours soon but do look through the contract and make sure all those perks you were promised are included in the contract.

 

[digdig]

fairybride and sockie,

accept u all liao, give comments ok

 

[lost_in_space]

Hi all,

I'm also HIPV Nov08 bride, Just to share my experience.. Adeline was the one who prepared the contract for us. I only can say that she is very efficient. Before the roadshow in March, we actually popped by and managed to have a chat with Adeline. Quick and brief one~~ Told us about the mar roadshow in bugis.. went down to the roadshow on the 1st night but never bring deposit.. went down again on the 2nd night to place our deposit and the contract was signed on the spot.. Adeline actually went back after the 1st night to draft out our contract..

So far, the response from her is prompt and understand that she is on maternity leave.. Hope that she can continue to be my co-ordinator after her long leave..

 

[danielkitty]

hi all,
I'm also HIPV bide08 @ May. my co-ordinator is adeline. I sign with her on april show. can u all add me at multipy id crisanntan

 

[princess_momo]

Hi Ladies,

Mine is @ Nov 08..
Multiply ID: PrincessMoMo

 

[karenlee0923]

wow..so many brides in Nov 08!!! heee..
hmmm...ask u ladies hor...have u all seen the suite? Its quite small right?? I have seen much much bigger ones and thus is quite disappointed with it...not sure if they have bigger suites...if so, wld like to know the price diff to top up...u gals think worth it?? coz Im afraid that day when my parents and parents in law come up and with my htb's big family...I scared there is not much place to manuovere...

 

[bubblepearl]

Karen..i am the BTB for Dec07, yup ! the suite is small..but dun think thay have bigger suite liao..

 

[drizzlestars]

Hi Bubblepearl,

I am also BTB for Dec07, so far have you collect your invitation cards? And have you schedule to do your selection of favours as well as the food tasting? It seem like for my case I was not being inform of anything to do till now? Kinda of relax leh but scare everything will come towards the end of year, so just to double check whether am I the only odd one out

Thanks.

 

[blue_crystal81]

Hi hushy, we are planning ard 22 tables. dono they will give us the crystal ballroom anot since orchid room max is 20 tables. BTW, is there any pillar in the crystal ballroom? I haven't got a chance to go down to the hotel yet.

My bf and I also intend to hold our wedding during Nov 2008. Anyone can share how's the food and services at HIPV?

 

[lost_in_space]

Hi blue~ there are 3 pillars by the side.. u might want to go down and take a look 1st before u sign the contract..

 

[hushbear]

hi blue crystal, the last time i tried to bargain for 23 tables at crystal ballroom but wasn't successful. perhaps u might wanna ask one of the coordinator again. yup, there are 3 pillars and it might be abit shocking for u if u haven't seen it personally. also, the other side of the ballroom has got lower ceiling, kinda weird but i still like it thou.. hehe.. seems like there's already alot of nov 08 brides so u hv to act fast.

 

[lost_in_space]

blue~~ forgot to tell me.. i'm also nov08.. booked the crystal ballroom on 8 nov 08.. hehe..

 

[bubblepearl]

drizzlestars: no, not yet collected cards, i did email to Ms Van and she say she will be sending all couples whose wedding in Dec..in Sept..she send me the favour pix and the things that need to do liao..i think food tasting is 1-2 before AD.

U are not odd out..cos i also kinda of relax now..after my PS..haha
Think i will be collect my cards in sept? Then food tasting in nov?

 

[dearris]

Hi,

Is the food tasting only on weekday ? Does anyone tried to have it on weekend ?

My Id is dearris in multiply

 

[bubblepearl]

Dearris, they say valid from Mon to Thur evening

 

[dearris]

Hi ..

Anyone have any good recommendation for march in songs ?? I am searching for it now ... still do not have any idea to choose which one ...

 

[blue_crystal81]

Hi Lost, my bf and I also intend to get the 08 Nov 08 as our actual wedding date. We seems so lost. everything not yet confirm.

 

[lost_in_space]

blue~~ do 1 thing at a time lor... concentrate on venue.. then BS.. then slowly look at other stuffs..

 

[msbean]

hi gals ,

Can add me to your multipy as this is my shortlist also my multiply is karenyee59

 

[jesdreamz]

Hey gals.. For those who have collected their invitation cards, need to check with u gals some stuff...

1) Does the invites comes with envelopes or we have to buy ourselves?

2) How many cards u collected since no. of tables are only confirmed when its nearer to AD?

 

[digdig]

Jesdreamz,

the invites do come with envelopes so no need to buy yourself. On the contract is wriiten how many tables then is the nos of cards.

 

[jesdreamz]

My contract just state min. 25 tables.. Never state actual no. of tables leh..

 

[hushbear]

hi jesdreamz, u'll get the invites base on ur min. no. of tables, i think u you need more, you can ask from them again. i took for 25 tables too, since can't cfm no. of tables yet.

anyone decorating the recep area?

 

[dearris]

Hi .. I will be collecting my invitation cards on Monday .. My ad is 20/10 who is having hers before mine ??

Now busy searching for songs suitable for march in .....

 

[spiderbaby]

hi dearie,

I'm having before yours ; ) ...5 days only though...mine's on the 15th of Oct 07... =)

you can try looking at the "music forum" over at the SG forum perhaps?? ...maybe you can find some songs that you like there?? ...btw, do u know if the hotel has some songs that we can choose from?? i thought i heard someone said they do but am not sure!

have you choosen yr wedding favours? ...i havent! ..what's a good choice in yr opinion if u hv already chose yours, that is... =)

One more question for the board...was wondering if any of you gals, guys here got free flow of beer in yr package?? .. is it kinda standard btw?? sorry..not v sure of such things...anyway my question is that as they dont provide wines...do u all think it's better to source the wines outside or juz take it fr the hotel or juz skip the wines totally?? lol ..that would be a bit cheapo, no?? haizz....am a bit clueless on this ...anybody could advise a bit on this pls??

thanxs in advance =)
