Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre

hi fudgecake,

Max tables for Crystal Ballroom is 40 tables. (This, i can confirm)

U have to take note of this cos if you have more than 40 tables after finalising then you'll be in a fix.
 


I feel really betrayed that they can just slash their prices by $100 and there isn't much of a difference. Feel cheated again and again. Once you sign up, that's it.
 
hi rustyPiano, thanks for the information. so far, no reply from them leh. just wondering if they are damn busy or damn bo chap.

For those who have signed up early, dun be too upset as the remaining weekend dates that is left are lousy dates or it is the weekday dates they are trying to sell off.
 
Hi Erica,

Could u send me the package details on Novotel Clarke Quay too? =)

For those who are interested in HIPV, the dates are avail till Dec 2007. However, heard from Pauline that the promotional price is valid for a limited period only. Will revert back to original price after the period. Dunno when =P

Btw, is there a wedding show at HIPV on 25th?
 
hello gals,
i will be meeting up with pauline this sat. anyone going down as well? actually abt to sign contract with HIA... saw the HIPV's package the theme only include either zen or crystal.. anyone know how the zen theme looks like? Btw, how will the march-in be like? is it straight from the entrance like the pics i seen in previous thread? is it very short?
 
You can choose ur match in: either straight or a L-shape. If your tables > 25, I thought L-shape would be more appropriate as your guests would then be able to see the stage. If straight, some of your guests may be block. The L-shape march in is shorter.

The crystal theme is wat u see on the website of HIPV. Zen theme is new. According to Pauline, the flower arrangement will be Jap-like.
 
Hi Erica, Baby Scarlet and Apple 79 and Assirac,

I will be going down on 25(sat), but i will be meeting Lilian(dunno if i got the name correct) cos Pauline is kinda of busy for me. Maybe we can use email or msn to communicate? i am looking at the ballroom and my AD is 15 Dec 07.

My email is [email protected] <same>
 
HI Joyceline,

We will be going down this sat 1pm. What time is your appt with lilian?

BTW, I've added you to my MSN list

Hello gals,

Side-track a bit here .... Was thinking about using " say yes" by Chage &amp; Aska for my march-in. Do you think it's grand enough ? kekekeke
 
Assirac,

I just change my appt w lilian, it will be 1.30pm..hmmm, maybe i can meet u gals up earlier before we start our "Power" keke..

Babystarlet, i add u liao
 
Hi fudgecake,

I've checked with HIPV and Pauline, the promotion is valid for banquets up till 31 Dec 2007. No catches, but I guess they most likely would be a little less flexible in allowing perks. If you've gotten your date, I suggest you act fast, cos I wouldn't be surprised if the promotion is cut short. =)
 
hi !

i'm new to this thread and am also interested to consider HIPV. May I know if HIPV provides projectors in the Crystal ballroom? If so, how many projectors, cos we would like to screen our photo montages : ) another qn is how many VIP tables does the package include? it does not seemed to be stated in the package. we will be going down to have a look at the ballrooms one of these days : ) hope to confirm the decision by next week
 
pearl, thanks for the update. I am very interested in HIPV as the price is VERY VERY ATTRRACTIVE. Now, trying to control the number of tables from both our parents. The max for crystal ballroom is 40 tables rite? Now I having a headache. only relatives already have 30 tables. have yet to include frens and colleagues.
 
Hi! Just came back from HIPV...Assirac, nice meeting u..keke..me abit blur blur one..

Just wonder if anyone book their dinner with HIPV yet...I am in a dilema now after looking at the ballroom..the only thing i dun really like is the pillars...ceiling is fine w me...according to Lilian is that she can confirm tat anything below 32 tables the view will not be blocked at all..

Anyone managed to get more perks from them?
 
Hi Joyceline,

I was also at the showcase today. Ya the pillars sucks
sad.gif
although very good price but don't know if the guests will feel left out sitting behind the pillars. So am like you in a dilema. Also went novotel today and the ballroom and the room looks so much better. Of course it is more expensive by 30+++ if for next year. On top of that their corkage is free for beer and wine.
So am still thinking. Did you book any dates with them? I did a tentative booking but have to get back to them by next week.
 
Hi brink_79, i've went to novotel earlier. Yup, their reception area also more formal....they only make tentative booking for me..when u need to get back to them?I need to get back by Wed..

The price is super ATTRACTIVE...now me more dilema now..my bf,mum and bro say it is good bargain...i think i abt 65% confirmed bah
 
Hi ladies, I'm did not sign up with HIPV but would like to share my 2 cents worth. I took urgent half day leave to meet up w Pauline yesterday cos i need to decide on my banquet by today. Pauline has been v accomodating to the perks I tried to ask for. The whole package looks irresistible!!! Free flow beer, I tot not really necessary cos most ppl go for wine. Pauline was nice enuff to exchange that perk for a 30litre barrel beer (which is more than enuff for a 15tables i'm looking) + 15 bottles of wine. Other perks like day use of the room, she's oso v negotiable to convert for a nite stay. If not tat i'm not going ahead with dinner, I would hav taken the great package, esp it's ONLY $668nett for wkends!!

Ladies who are still hesitating, I believe HIPV is pretty value for money in their tis promo. Thumbs up!!

Oh yah, their Orchid room, for smaller banquet, is pretty nice n cosy. I've been to other smaller ballrooms like Regent, Meritus Mandarin, Hilton, Hyatt, HIPV is really not bad as compared to the mentioned 5 star hotel.
 
Hi Joyceline (bubblepearl),

I assume you are talking about HIPV
happy.gif
. Ya i agree that their price is really so attractive...but if you compare it with novotel, the place will seem to look so old. I think now is the price thing liao and what you want. Oh I need to get back to them by next week. What perks did you ask from them? Can email me to tell me

Hi tansy,

Thanks for sharing
happy.gif
. I do agree with you totally about Pauline, feel that she is very helpful and friendly. The only thing now are the pillars....
 
Assirca,

Agreed with u that 40 tables may seemed a bit SQUEEZED especially now have to consider the pillars again. sigh.... this holiday venue thingy is getting on my nerves. either i reduce the number of tables (my parents will kill me for this) or to look for other hotels which can hold up to 50 tables.
 
Hi Fudge,

Perhaps can try to make them understand that it may not be good to have too many guest. The bride and groom wil be rushing from table to table, without much leeway for them to interact with anyone. Parents are usually understanding one... tok to them first lor

hi tansy and the rest of the gals,
i went down to HIPV with hubby yesterday too.. only thing dun like is the pillars same like most of u too... forget to ask pauline if there's any way tables can be arranged so it wont be blocked so much. so is it true that Lilian said anything below 32 tables the view will not be blocked at all? cos me only got abt 28tables...
will have to get back to pauline fast too cos she claim there response is very gd and management may decide to take off promotion anytime.. sweat...
what other perks did u gals ask for can plz share with me? thanks so much!! my email - [email protected]
 
HI Erica,

Think Joyceline answer the question you ask.

Joyceline, sad to say, i do not have msn. but i check my email and here everyday
happy.gif
sorry...

Anyone had sign up with them so far? That day I was talking to pauline and I think a couple had just confirm with them...
 
Hi Brink,

I've signed up with HIPV wor.
happy.gif
Only 25 tables, so I'm not as bothered by the pillars

Joyce,

So how? Consider until how liaoz? heee ...
 
hi jo, u can check out what i wrote in the thread itself. Should be quite sometimes liao.. Initally, i wanted to sign up with them but after confronting them, i signed up with HIPV instead as after all, HIPV is better.
 
Yah, agreed tat the pillars is one main concern. I was looking at Orchid Room, pillars was not too bad a problem tho. Anyway it's really quite worth it i tot. I settled with Four Seasons luncheon, and it's much more expensive, lesser perks than HIPV
