hi jenny
every bride is pretty with make over mah.... what I meant is when u see me in person w/o MU.....:P I looked more matured than my hubby.....
 


Hi Cool

So how... yr hubby nice enough to let u decor the whole place? or the recep area?

I actually asked the pple @ wedding act... they suggested us to go more according to the theme... that means to add more crystal... say maybe to the recep table, yr accessories, yr bridesmaids' accessories, ang bao box, etc... or to go wif other themes such as fairy tale, winter or white... to make it more 'grand and memorable'... juz some suggestions to help u...

Hopefully, nvr confuse u further... hehehee...

u more matured meh? mi diff from u... mi older than my FH but he looks older than me... he 'wei lau xian shuai' hahahhahaa...
 
Ros,
My hubby oso younger than me...but compare, I do look older than him, worst still when i recv'd my wedding album, AiyOo..all my wrinkles so visible unlike my hubby..v youthful looking.

Hi everyone! Me and my hubby were initially aiming for Marina Mandarin and M hotel, but unfortunately the dates we wanted were all taken up. So we are now looking at Goodwood Park and Holiday Inn.

Am actually trying to arrange a meeting with Pauline for this coming saturday. First time, very excited! Hehee!
happy.gif


Anyway, I'm wondering about the deposit required. Is it a fixed amount or does it depends on the number of tables?
 
Hi Cooldevil...

No lah... juz my gastric giving me problems lor... so sometimes pain until fed-up... hoping that it's cut away to save the trouble lor...

Hi Fellaine

I paid $2.5k... hmmm... cooldevil, was it because yrs this year that's y cheaper? dunno leh... but doesn't really matter lah... pay sooner or later only mah...

Both goodwood park & HIPV are good choice... hopefully, u get the dates u wanted... good luck..
 
Hi Beth...

So... any food that's die die must have one? or any that's so-so one?

Think those having wedding this yr paid $2k and those next yr paid $2.5k....
 
Thanks everyone!
Anybody holding theirs in Orchid Room instead of Crystal Room?
I guess only Crystal room has the famous chandeliers and not Orchid Room?
 
Ros,
Its depending on individual when it comes to food tasting coz each has diff taste bud, I personally like "Braised double kind of mushrooms with chinese spinach"..coz its fresh, tasty & nutritious. another 1 is "Garoupa steamed wif superior soya sauce", fish is fresh & tender, sauce v rich. u may wanna suggest little salt if ur elderly guests dont like it. I like "Chilean abalone with taiwan cabbage" the best...abalone isnt too big(whole), it was cut in slices...v soft & juicy.
happy.gif
yum yum. These r some of the recommendations, as i hv said earlier..it all depend on individual.

Hope it will help those who's gng for food tasting soon. Go there w ur empty stomach coz portion is big. Bon appetit!

Hi Fellaine

Think so far most pple here all @ crystal room leh... have u seen the orchid room already? how does it looks like?

Hi Beth.... true lor... but guess, since there are almost 300 pple eating... we can't please everyone also... so, the only chance is to try to select those that most pple will like... coz my taste abit 'exotic' mah... and somemore so diff from what my hubby like... so tot, get some ideas from u gals... at least will have a better guage of wat other may like...

Otherwise, mi & hubby sure end up fighting over which dish to take... die liao... but those that u suggested all seems so nice... hahhaha... empty stomach? sure... mi will skip breakfast, lunch, tea... juz to eat the dinner... yummy... can't wait... but mine only happening next june... so still gotta hold on a little...

Btw, do u select the dish before u go or they cook their 'chef-choice' and u see if u like? Do u have tell Pauline what u want right after the food tasting or much later?
 
Hi yuki
I was told by pauline to choose the 6 course 1st b4 the actual food tasting. Dont think there's any specific "chef choice"..its all up to u to decide which dishes u want to try .No, u dont hv to cfm ur menu straight away...pauline will contact u a few days later.
 
Hi yuki,
Nope, haven't been to Orchid Room, but will be having a meet-up with Pauline tomorrow.
Will then have a chance to take a look since there'll be an actual dinner then.
Hope we'll be allowed to take pics so that I may post them here.

HI Ming,

how everything..?..
happy.gif
 
Hi ming
Today is yr big day huh? Congrats! Happy for u
happy.gif


Hi jenny
u are welcome :P you can call them to check on their menu..... I think mouth rst can fax u the menu. errr. bugis and OG...bugis got OG meh?? Heatwave huh? My work place there have maybe tom go look look see see. Thanks

Hi ladies
for yr info. You cant choose the theme you want, you need to check whether the theme is taken up by other couple. If no, then u can have it..... will check it out more when meet up with pauline :P Heard there is some changes in cystal theme.....
 
Hi cool,

oops...means albert park OG at bugis...
happy.gif


you mean we cant choose from the 4 themes that HIPV have...like classic elegance or crystal or oriental or enchanted gdn..?...that strange leh....hmm.....
 
Hi jenny
No what I mean if one of the themes u like is taken up by other couple....u can cannot choose it liao....it's first coem first served one
happy.gif
 
???? Cool... but tot every brides' wedding dates different wat? how can it be choosen? even if it's the day before... sure can be used the next day too, rite?
 
Hi yuki and beth
I also not very sure...cause that day when I email Pauline to confirm my no of table on AD. She called me later and asked me to arrange a day to meet up and select the themes and etc....so I told her I want crystal theme....she say there is some changes in crystal theme then the theme u choose might not be available if another couple selected liao...... I guess what beth is saying might be right. If more than 1 wedding on the same day.

that's why I say once meet up with pauline will clarify with her :P
 
Hi Gals

I have juz wrote to pauline and she has replied... below, pls find her replies:

'If your wedding dinner fall on a date which have 2 wedding – One at the Crystal Ballroom & One at the Orchid Room, then the décor theme whichever room taken will not be repeated again in another room, that is why we have for décor themes. '

But she also mentioned that she would only confirm the theme 2 weeks before the wedding.... Juz wondering if both couples want the same day then how... 1st come 1st serve? but most of us all not aware mah, rite?

Hope that helps....
 
Hi Jenny, Cool (i am back) yes, i have a lovely time except i made a biggest mistake forgotten to bring my IC (luckily uncle brought it down for me) *phew* during the solemninsation i just mumble (mind went blank) didnt managed to repeat what the JP said except remembering saying 'Yes' 'Yes!

Gals, so we meeting on 12 Dec 04 (right) what time to c our beautiful bride? kinda shocked to learn that its 1st come 1st serve for themes???

Jenny
we had lunch buffet at Merchant Court (the food not too bad) :P
 
Hi Ming
Glad that you have a lovely tiime
happy.gif
ai yo u too excited huh till forget to bring yr I/c...hee hee .... I love to go Merchant Court for their buffet! Thump up!
happy.gif
 
Hi Cool

i think i 'sotong' lah ...heehee ...yeah our parents n siblings love the food @ Merchant Court ...so how's your preparations? 3 more wks to go n its your BIG DAY! .....

btw, any good recommendations for a good pair of bridal shoes? i really want a good pair of comfort shoes (coz i dont like to wear heels but no choice liao coz i am short - hubby too tall liao) :-( so must wear min. 3 inch)
 
Ros, Wah..in dat case, surely 1 of us kena 2 weddings on the same day lor *touch wood hor*. Ya lah, all of us will not be awared of that...which couple will be asked to choose 1st. *sighz* Hopefully priority will be given to the couple wif d most tables lor, coz pay more ma..hee..
lame.gif
 
Hi Ming
U owe yr uncle a treat...ke ke ke I bought my wedding shoe at OG - Americaya 31/2 inch high heel white shoe. The strip is transparent with a little crystal..... I didnt know OG got so many things to shop...ke ke ke .....

Hi ladies
Met up with Pauline liao..... She is friendly and nice to go thru the AD details with us patiently .....I like her ways of doing things....systematic.....
Right now they have 4 themes but their crystal theme is not ready yet. No couple has seen or used this theme yet. She will try to do it on my AD but no promise cos some decor is not ready yet. If not I will be using Classic theme (using artificial and flesh flowers) I choose red flesh roses cos the artificial roses look like ivory/ off-white.......

Abt the wedding themes.... I think I would not want to take the same theme as the couple who is holding their dinner at another room. What u can do is U can meet up with yr hotel coordinator once u can confirm yr no of tables and menu asap. Not necessary to confirm 2 weeks before yr AD. U can call and make appt with him/her so you have more choices to choose. :P
 
Hi Cool, Ros , Beth,

Really huh...?Ai ..yo..like that one...but crydtal ballroom bigger and more tables leh...how come like that one...? ..maybe me go ask christopher again.. But oni confirm theme 2 weeks, then how to define first come first served...veri strange...hmmm....

225434.gif
 
Hi Jenny
