Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre

I am bringing both wine and hard liquor. Initially I choose only wine, but my father insist to have brandy so he will buy the brandy and bring it there himself.

From my brother's wedding in Jan, we noticed that the "kopitiam uncle" all choose to drink wine (cos they said more class) then brandy... and they like the red wine chilled... like rebina....

I saw from Sancai's photos of the ballroom, was wondering whether the floral centerpieces on the tables were made of fresh flowers?
 
Hi Freesia,

The floral centrepieces on the table were artificial flowers only the flowers along the aisle with candles were fresh flowers.

My photographer is so sweet. He called me to remind me that I haven't give him the time to arrive at my house... :P

And ladies.... please let me view your wedding pics. It's so exciting to view your beautiful pics.
 
Hi all,

I was thinking of M Hotel and HIPV. A few weeks ago I was there to view the ballroom setting. It was beautiful. I was being served by a malay guy and was advised that weekend actually dun have any complimentary food tasting at all. But fm wat I gather here, there was complimentary food tasting during weekend, so I was kind of puzzled. Shud I negotiate for reduction of price and freebies? I was given the Priced at $ 728 nett per table of 10 persons (Sat package)Priced at $ 688 nett per table of 10 persons (Fri, Sun). Is it reasonable and consider good price? Sorry for asking so much but I really need advise from all of u. Will greatly appreciated if anyone can advise me.

Thank u and have a nice day

smallady, I believe the price you have quoted for HIPV is for 2003. I do not think it is expensive, since all the other hotels have also raise its price. I think more importantly is, do you like the place, and is the package within your budget. Also do consider the free flow of beer the hotel is giving away. This may eventually become a savings, if you decide not to serve other alcohol, other then beer.

My dream place to hold a wedding was Goodwood Park. However, when I see the ballroom, I didnt like it and the price is too expensive. I guess things like these can help you to justify to go for HIPV or not.
 
Hi Fressia,
You re most welcome....

Hi Agnes,
I can imgine how you feel. I felt the same way that time. Take a chance to lie down, listen to some music and relax. Just think how how beautiful you can be on that day.

Here's something for you:

Hi Sweetie,
Think the best way if for you to go down personally to check out the ballroom. Seeing is believing

I checked out 3 times before I finalized the place.
