Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre

Shuki,

I've seen the photo for the crystal ballrm and it looks nice... Yup, I agreed with u that HIPV is one of the best. But guess I wld still look ard...
Though I preferred another one with dream theme, it was way above my budget.
Anyway, for the portable projector screen, will it be placed beforehand or after? Cos I've attended one wedding whereby they carried the projector screen onstage and then downstage twice and it looked kind of awkward.
 


Shuki (shuki_50) , I hate the pillar also,... hope they will knock down and increase the other side ceiling...

(,'') (sal07) , I heard from my sales that they might replace paslma tv with the current projector, so there might be no more project after the reno. Actually it will be good if they change to BIG TV screen. But all is maybe they have not come out with any idea of reno the hotel.
anyway, after their reno, the sales will send us the new ballroom pic

So they had no idea of the renov of the new ballroom.

Will the ballroom look better and nicer after the renov.

I am abit worried.
 
Hi Karine,
If they replace the current projector with plasma tv, it would definitely be better and look much nicer...

Hi Jac,
Don't worry, normally after reno, it would be nicer than before. But still depends on personal preference also...
 
Hi Jacqueline (jac15),

My AD will be on 6 dec 09.
Yah my coordinator also say that after the reno ballroom will look better but as what sal07 say, all depend on personal preference...

plasma tv will be clearer but then the tv so small, guest may have difficulty to see and some more block by pillars...

The projector screen should be place before hand bah...but the trouble is that we will need to find projector ourselves...
 
Oh... had to find projectors ourselves quite troublesome. If really cannot find how???

HIPV had to find way for us to resolve the problem.
 
hmm, my coordinator (krystal) say that we can borrow from our office, as long as got input and output...

the way she say, it seems that hotel wont be able to do anything for us...but then she did say that we can borrow from the hotel at a cost...but didnt say how much...and she advice that hotel charge will be more expensive than outside...
 
yup yup...actually the hotel shd lend it to the couples free...cos their ballroom got the pillar and they shd do something in replace for that...

u can try to argue to them and see if they wanna give in to that
 
hi gals... i think the projector & screen usage is complimentary, u will get 2 projectors & 2 screen, one for each side. u might want to double-confirm with ur coord.
 
Yap , the projector and screen is complimentary so they should not charge us.

So before sign the contract must see carefully.
 
Anyone holding their wedding in HIPV, Orchid room??

And anyone using the theme of crystal, but with 'black and red colour' of table and chair cover ??

Thinking to using the black crystal theme, but scare too dark as the light is yellow colour.

Any comment please??
 
Jacqueline, you can rent projector from HIPV. Think is about ard S$280. projector screen will be FOC, can ask..

Shuki, my coordinator is krystal also.

hI Karine,

Cos i think the black and red theme is quite a special and grand theme when see in the photos they put in the wedding booklet.

But after my coordinator, Adeline show me some of their photos which is the black theme, the whole room become very dark.....

so now have to think of other colour lo. Actually black is my favourite colour.
 
Hi chocolatte79,

U manage to ask for 2 screens and projectors? but Krystal say that she can provide us 2nd screen but not the 2nd projector.....

So we must ask for it?

HIPV work hand in hand with Sattion Bridal, they will be at the roadshow...

Btw, how u all find krystal?
 
hi shuki, i asked for 2 projectors and 2 screens, the 2nd projector & screen is for those sitting at the side one (blocked by the pillar).
mayb u can try to ask for it.
but i let go/exchange quite a lot of the complimentary stuff, so mayb becoz of that they let me use 2 projectors.
 
Hi chocolatte79,

huh...u change the 2nd projector and screens for some comlimentary items arhh.....hmm, cos mine will be dec 09...after the renov...hoping that they put something for those blocked guest...netherless, i will try to ask for 2nd projector...
Thanks
 
Shuki, I got personal projector, so I dun need extra projector from them, but if last min I need I had to use 1of the comlimentary for exchange. actually all hotel does the same things la,give and take. U see which one u dun need then maybe can ask your coordinator can u exchange for something or not.

That pillar sure block, I attend wedding dinner there before...
what is the meaning of " "chef dance" ?????
 
I just sign up in the afternoon.

I had check the 2nd projector need to pay extra cos it was outsource from outside.

You can bring your own projector but it may had some problem with the wire connection.

If you are having less than 30 table , it should not had the blocking problem. Every of your guest should be able to see the stage.
 
not really , some of the guest in the other side of the ballroom actually can view the screen. But if you had too many table then some of your guest may not to able to view.

I just view the ballroom just now.
 
thanks for the picture....
unless some of u all might think of changing of the set up stage to the middle, so the march in will be L-shape...but kinda of short...but most guest will see the stage lor...
 
Karine,

Chef Dance is a dance by an Indian Banquet Manager at the beginning when first dish is being served. what I understood from my coordinator is that the dance is volunteered by him. He will be wearing fake big stomach during the dance.
 
Hi Shuki

There is two more ballroom is not open. During the wedding, the ballroom consist of 3 ballroom combined togther.

When i took the pic , there is only 16 table in crystal ballroom.
 
Thanks merly for explaining the "chef dance"...can we sort of request for that performance during our first dish? kinda of special...and unique...

Thanks jac15, notice from the 1st pic that the other side of the ballroom is closed....

bascially i think HIPV is overall a very good deal...who will be going for the roadshow this sunday?
 
hi jsim15...

is there a diff? i tot they are the same...according to krystal is that they will have different booths eg photography...Bridal shop....there promoting their things at discounted prices...
 
Duno leh..tot usually ppl call it wedding show instead of workshop..some more is admission free whereby wedding show nid to pay registration one :p

Gals,

I have went to 3 types but dunno if they follow the rules here :

Wedding Roadshow : may be free with lots of Hotels, BS,etc

Wedding Show : mostly need to pay, in a hotel with other BS, PG, etc

Wedding Workshop : may be free but only hotel and may not have other booths.
 
Hi Jacqueline,
from the photos i can see that the table cloth are in gold color, is that for VIP or non-VIP table? Heard from Krystal that maroon color table cloth for VIP is no longer in usage as its quite old.
 
Hi Jacqueline,
i feel that all white for non-vip table is very plain. I actually wanted the black theme but my hubby dun approved even though my parents r fine with it.

The indian wedding at least have gold table cloth for every non-vip table, dunno whether they allow for chinese banquet.
 
hi everyone...
i juz signed up at the wedding workshop today
happy.gif
... the ballroom is very nice but not sure if the stage today is the crystal or candelight theme... it's quite beautiful...
thk the non-vip table cloth is very pale lilac (close to white)... i also tot the colour is too boring...
 
Hi starylamb,
i went to the show yesterday too...indeed the ballroom is very nice....very class feel.The table setting on the black cloth table is candlelight theme,the other 2(gold or beige color) is the crystal theme.Those stands u saw on the stage & aisle are crystal them.

Just check with Vasanthi yesterday, we can choose either the gold or beige table cloth with light flowery imprints as non-vip table, no longer have to stick to the plain white or beige color table cloth. As for VIP table,i've choose the maroon color table cloth & light beige for non-vip table.Will be using red color flower for all the table & aisle display.
 
hi gals... any additional freebies offer during the show? queenie, so u sign up w/ hipv? do u take the orchid/crystal ballroom?

is the gold table cloth for nov-vip table nice? any1 have the pics? can plz share: [email protected].

thanks...
 
Hi Chocolatte,
i sign up with HIPV last yr,went there yesterday to view the new table cloth as my wedding is in May 08.

Gold color is abit dark so for my opinions dun choose gold since the ballroom is already abit dark.My VIP table cloth is darker color thus my non-Vip table cloth muz be lighter color.

Will upload the pics in my multiply if i'm free tonite.
 
Hi Chocolate,
if u happen to go into the Banquet diretory, the gold color table cloth is shown issit the HIPV listing, the 1st pic is the gold color cloth with the same imprints...as for Pic 2,nv saw tat during the show.

happy.gif

chocolatte... the addtional freebies is $1000 off for a min of 25 tables (for crystal ballroom) or 1 free table (for orchid room)... also got 1 wine per table & free corkage for wine...
Queenie... wow ur AD is comin very soon... gold seems nice... though it does seem a bit close to the room lighting... btw did u go for food tastin? how's e food?
 
hi starylamb,
i'm giving up the food tasting for free table during banquet...thinking the taste during food tasting might turn out diff from AD,so no point going.


Gals,
