Hi cooldevil,

My hubby & I just want somebody to do it. No need pro. Now need to find one as no one want to do it

Ming,

Pauline is the 'middlewoman' so need ti pay the hotel the middelman fee...sorry don really know how to explain.

 

[yming]

Joyce

i thought Pauline is the banquet mgr ??? u mean she help me to source for something n u need to pay her a fee??? sorry i am confused too ...but its okei

 

[yuki_ko]

Hi Joyce

Hmmm.... u mean other then the fee that we pay the hotel, we still need to pauline an additional 'middleman' fee? Nvr heard of such thing leh?

Didn't noe they charge for emcee too... but perhaps, for those who require, probably have to check it again wif the hotel lor..

 

[beth]

Rosalind, ya..there's an outdoor jaccuzi next to the swimming pool.

Hotels shld standby 1 in house MC ma...juz in case some couples really cant find 1...

 

[yuki_ko]

Hi Beth

Hehehehe... then can go relax after that lor...

 

[sheep]

Hi everyone,

I managed to find 1 mc. He is my relative. 1 thing off my mind

 

[yuki_ko]

Hey, that's great... at least dun have to worry liao....

 

[sheep]

Rosalind,

Thanks! What theme are you choosing? I am torn between garden & classic elegance...

 

[beth]

Hi gals

I dropped by HIPV last sat, seen the garden agn..the decor too simple, was wondering whether any of u gals seen the crystal theme?

Pls share ur opinion if u've seen it. Thks!

 

[yuki_ko]

Hi Joyce... mi thinking of either classic elegance or crystal... haven't decide also...

Hi Beth... think the nearest was sometime in Dec, rite? dunno leh... According to Pauline, there's some other changes to the crystal theme... so dun think anyone has really seen the latest before... unless recently, there's someone getting married using that theme?

 

[beth]

Hi Rosalind
If dats the case, we wont know how it look like until we see it .

Btw, hv u made arrangement with pauline for the food tasting yet?

 

[yuki_ko]

Hi Beth

Those who went for the wedding show have a brief idea how it's going to be like... coz it's displayed then... but Pauline was telling me that the hotel wanted to add more crystal or do abit of changes to the theme... so may be abit different lor... u receive the photos in the end or not ar? or u want me to send u the crystal theme only... maybe fewer pics can go thr'...

Mine wedding is next yr in June... so dun think will be going for food tasting so early lah... u leh?

 

[coolgirl76]

hi ladies
Mi just went to food tasting recently...I keep forgetting to bring my menu that why I never update here..... paisay.... I will try to take the listing fr my hubby...OVerall food not bad....but Ad the chef got to prepare more tables so dun know the taste will be the same or not. I can say the food is one of the best I had eaten for wedding dinner.

 

[pinkbear]

Hi cool,

sounds really cool man! thumbs up for the food...

 

[beth]

Hi Ros
Yes! i like to see juz the crystal theme. Pls email me at [email protected]

Thks.

cooldevil - really har, the food not bad....then i can rest assure liaO.

Do share ur menu with us so at least we can get some idea which 1 to choose.

 

[yuki_ko]

Hi Beth...

I have sent u liao...

Cool... still waiting for yr feedback abt the menu leh... looking at the overall feedback, think, we can be quite assured of the food quality...

 

[coolgirl76]

Hi Beth and Rosalind
err.... the menu with my hubby lei...always forget to ask fr him.... please excuse me I old liao lah.....ke ke ke

The food portion is big and some of the presentations are nice esp the cold dish. The drunkard prawn soup taste abit bitter but the prawn is big and fresh. The presentation not very good for this dish. Orr-nee nice but too much coconut milk not much orr-nee. The waitress and captain told me, AD then will have less milk more orr nee.

Hmmm... ee-fu noodle, I only eat a few mouthful cos I dun really like...taste good better than those I eat before at other wedding dinners.

This is all I can remember lei.... i must have the menu then can refresh my memory...hee hee....

We a bit worry dun know the taste and standard will be the same on AD cos the chef has to cook more ....

 

[beth]

Thks Ros, will check later.

cooldevil, u mean there's only 1 chef on AD meh? Thot there shld be a few. Mmm... i tink 4 me dessert shldnt b a problem as long as the 1st few dishes are nice, fresh & serve hot. U know lah those old people hor, v particular over food.

Mine shld be next mth, as yet to get a call fr pauline.

 

[yuki_ko]

Hi Beth....

Hopefully, u get it...

U mean yr wedding is next month????

 

[beth]

Ros, recevd & seen it. Thks!

I mean food tasting shld be next mth, not AD.

 

[yming]

hi Gals
anyone taking the 'Enchanted Garden' theme? care to share more info pls ie. how's the decorations?

 

[coolgirl76]

hi beth
Wat I mean on our AD,their chefs normally will cook one big pot then divide into a few plates so the taste dun know will be the same or not.... during food tasting the chef only cook for only I table mah ......

hi ladies
I will be using Crystal theme..... I made up my mind liao

 

[yming]

cooldevil - u using crystal theme (any pics to share) ???

 

[coolgirl76]

Hi Ming
My pixs are look the same as Rosalind...taken fr the bridal show one..... If u want to see the actual Deco maybe U can come down on Dec 12 to view mine ...

 

[yming]

cooldevil

[coolgirl76]

Hi Ming
I might be asking my florist to do some touch up at the hotel .....I haven really sit down and talk to my florist yet....

I choose crystal theme cos I love the ballroom crystal lightings ..... My WG is Victorian style with long train... err.... what u want to know huh? I dun know what to say lei...

I will update u all on the food tasting after my hubby is back in town.

 

[yming]

Hi cooldevil

i am wondering whether can source own florist to do some touch up at the hotel (now that u have mentioned it so i guess this is the answer i want to know) heehee

thanks thanks

 

[beth]

Hi cooldevil
U'll be the 1st couple to use the crystal theme..will also take note of ur date, most likely will pop by to take a peek if u dont mind.

Woww...Ur WG's victorian style, muz be v nice, I guess u'll be taking the long walk to the stage ya, if not it'll be a waste.

 

[coolgirl76]

Hi Ming
I'm checking with Pauline on this will keep u update

Hi Beth
Hmmm... I want something special lor... cos most bride will either wear tube, spagetti, bareback or sexy WG.... i want to surprise my guests...hee hee .... They always thut I will wear something sexy but now a bit "bao shou"

 

[yuki_ko]

Hi Gals....

Why not we meet up and go together... if Cooldevil dun mind of course... but of course, we won't stay for dinner lah... juz go there c c look look...

Hi Cooldevil... Think u gotta walk slowly... very slowly... hehehe... I like long train too... but mine think won't be too long... coz mi very 'lun zun' later fall down.... that time when wif the other brides to SL... Nearly trip on my train also...

 

[beth]

Ros, not a bad idea to meet up but hubby will follow leh, can? coz he wanna c how it looks like too. If its ok, juz let me know wat time u're gng down. Eh..Maybe can even bump into cooldevil, who knows ya hehee...

 

[coolgirl76]
