Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre


Hi Cool

Think they will adjust accordingly to suit the the number of table. I understand that the ballroom can accommodate up to either 38 or 40... but I only need 30... so was given the floor plan for 30, if u need, let me know...

Hi Jenny

Hahahha... lucky u... still can catch sunset... shld be very nice... these days... the weather is abit crazy... today rainy too... felt so sleepy... really dun wanna come to work... today, going for my food tasting... will come back and tell u all how's the food...

Hi cool... The LCD most likely will be given FOC... unless they have other need for it...

I am having my tea ceremony on the same day in HIPV and I will be using the suite room that they gave me.. didn't wanna spent extra $$ lor..

If alot of pple attending yr solemnisation, u might wanna book for a separate room coz they will need to set up the room before yr AD start mah...

Hi Gals

Have selected the following for food tasting:
COLD & HOT PLATTER
(Choice of 5 items)
Nanking Duck : Good
Drunken Chicken : Unique liquor taste
Japanese Octopus : Fat & Juicy... yummy...
Jellyfish : No taste
Prawn Salad : Very nice... portion abit too small

SHARKS FIN SOUP
Shark's Fin Soup with Crabmeat : Very nice... lots of shark's Fin too..

POULTRY / DUCK / MEAT
crispy Pi-Pa Duck : Crispy and really love the gravy that's on it..

SEAFOOD
Braised Sliced Abalone and Mushroom with Lettuce : Abalone abit overcooked I think, not too tender... Mushroom's good... Lettuce is nice but would prefer Spinach...

FISH
Garoupa (weekend) : Fish is not tender, perhaps, overcooked... but at least no fishy smell
Steamed Teochew Style : Abit too plain

DESSERT
Yam Paste with Gingko Nuts Teochew Style : Very nice... Yam Paste portion abit too small and coconut milk too much... but overall taste is good... yummy...
 
hi yuki,

thanks a lot,the pipa duck sound so yummy

Hi Cool

My friends all like the pipa duck too... they somemore disturb say cannot choose this dish coz too nice later pple will fight...

Hi Soann

Not all flowers... I checked with the florist, she told me some are artificial and she will mix in some real. I told her I want all white... think the other colours are red & pink mix... coz that's wat I saw in the pics...

Heard from my colleague that HIPV going to introduce new theme in Sept... have u seen the new theme yet?

I am considering the following:
Platter: Suckling Pig, Jap Octopus, Nanking Duck, Drunken Chicken & Prawn Salad.
Shark's Fin Soup with crabmeat
Crispy Pi Pa Duck
Abalone & Mushroom with Lettuce
Drunken prawn
Garoupa with light soya sauce
HK Fried noodles
Yam Paste

Hey Ros,
It's a natural reaction, i was feeling nervous too when my wedding was near, like v "kallang kabot" (excited) hehehe..but rest assure that ur family & friends r there to help u on ur big day, so juz relax & dun bother abt things, let ur jie meis do the work for u. I guess ur guestlist & seating arrangement r done by now rite?

Yo Cool,
BingO! My hb & I r planning to hv a bb, hopefully can hv a bb make in europe hee.. So how's marriage life, any plans 2 hv bb yet??

Hi jenny
It shld be quite warm now in central europe coz its gonna b summer soon, Switzerland is still my ideal choice of holiday destination coz even in summer, the weather is still cooling~ coz its near the alps. As for other parts of europe like france, england, ltaly etc..it'll be pretty warm. When i was in paris...WOaH! Temp was at their highest~33'C & so crowded wif locals, heard fr my tour manager, the locals worship the sun like they worship the god.
crazy.gif
Anyway, when u're gng thr during the summer, juz bring along clothings that will keep u cool & dun forget ur sunblock too.

but i din c it there when i go view one of e wedd..
hmm maybe u may remind them if u got in ur pkg..

hi Beth..
tat time u took which theme? can share ur pics wif me pls..Thks =)
(email: [email protected])

hi jenny..
*wink* hee.. cos i 'ran' thru tis thread ma..
so far how's ur preparation? veri fast hor, half yr almost gone..

cheer~
 
Hi Beth,

ok..thks..

Hi Soann,

wow...ya..half year gone..veri fast..you taken your ps liao..?..now don know need to do wat leh..maybe guest list I tin...haha...you how yours preparation?
 
Hi all,

any one has used the orchid room for ur wedding?
Noted that the room can accomodate max 20 tables... my problem is likely i will ve more than 20 but less than 25 tables thus unable to use the crystal room as for weekend it requires min 25 tables..

Wat's ur views? Thanks so much!
 
Hi jenny..
next wk yuki le.. tink she mus be veri busi..
yuki got mention new theme, u know of it?
i ps next mth..u lay?
same here, dun know wat to do now too..
hee hee relax.. ops

hi cp..
tat's tough to decide..

Try to shortlist a few more ideal venues tat can accomodate ur capacity to work on & then to decide.. if u got time schedule to meet.. do faster homework lay.. opss =)

To cater for max 20 but in e end got >20, if rm really cant accomodate, u will haf a prob.. cos rm cant 'stretch' any further ..

To cater slightly buffer than less.. may seems better, but disadv is u may end up pay extra tables.. so u may consider ask some of ur frens to space out/ move over to these tables since oredi paid for.

Or u may want to chk wif HIPV co-ord. wat other best solutions they can suggest..

hee.. my little opinion..
 
Hi Soann

The florist is from HIPV lah.. yes, watever u want convey to the coordinator but some of the details if u wish to check, can check wif the florist direct...

Think the new theme starts in Sep... that's wat my colleague told me... think these 4 themes that we have now also started in Sep last yr, rite?

and yes... very very very busie...
 
Hi Yuki,

not so sure about new theme..haha...my ps over liao ..hahah...

you fin reno liao..? furnishings..mi now bz getting furnishings for the house...
 
Hi Soann,

thanks for the advice!
I have worked out our min table & met HIPV's min for crystal room. Initially we forgot to add the 2 VIP tables..

According to Pauline, the themes are still the same it's juz that they are changing the florist.. so the deco maybe a bit diff but themes are the same.. happens that the existing florist's contract is due this sep & they are changing to another florist which most previous couples prefer..
