Hi rainbow,
My AD at HIPV is 9/12/07. Hehe
Yup, go down have a look with ur hubby then decide on whether u both like it. My personal opinion is that d reception area not v big n certain parts of the hotel not v grand but once u c d ballroom, u will fall in love w it. Keke. Others also mention about some pillars by d side but I'm not bothered by it. Hehe
If u like it n haven't got any dates, ask her whether can do a open booking 1st 2 secure the rates. But do get back 2 her asap with d AD as it's a 1st come 1st serve basis.
There r some pics in the Oct 26, 2005 archive. Can have a look at the pics 1st. Hehe

hi gers, i made my booking with HIPV already!
Some view on the ballroom, the proportion of the ballroom is a bit weird, the main area (with high ceiling) can max up to 18 tables and the rest of the area are actually low ceiling. There are quite a no of pillars so those ppl siting behind the pillars will definelty be blocked. ---> ask them to stand up if they want to see wat going on in the main area...hahah
For this special package only 2 themes available for selection, the crystal and zen, the crystal is a combination of previous crystal + classic theme. So they have crystal and flowers.
The screen for projection is set up slanted at the left hand side of the stage, not those big big automated screen. Pauline mention that she cannot comfirm the loan of projector now cos its still quite far from my AD.
The reception area is not exclusive and kinda of small. It is a share area with the hotel resturant. I was thinking maybe this can be solve by getting the guest to move in and get seated instead of hanging at the reception area.
I will be doing my solemisation on the same day as well. Pauline mention that she cannot give me another function room for it, there will be set up cost. She suggest that i do it in the ballroom or bridal suite.. Anyone has any suggestion on this?
I din negotitate much, the perks i have are the same with the gers here, i think they have their limitation also... but one thing she highlight to me was quite logical. she mentioned that everyone wants more car passes, but the carparks are limited, if you guest din manage to park the car in, how many car pass also no use. Maybe can write in invitation card that carpark pass are first come first serve, make ppl come on time! hahah
I did ask abt rehersal and stuff, pauline mention that dun need to do any rehersal, the manger on duty will guide us when to move where... but i was thinking isit safe to just everything on the spot??? Also worried that if no pre testing of the projector and sound, will everything be running smoothly? Anyone request for rehersal???

Hi gals,
my AD is 21/01/07..actually called in to make a tentative booking & Pauline was able to hold e date for me. (I actually wanted 20th cos dat's my customary date dat e fengshui shifu calculated, but it was already booked..sigh!)
Will be meeting her at 7pm coming Mon.
Went to peep at e ballroom when there was a wedding going on...e manager was so kind as to turn on e chandeliers for me to see e entire light-up! Pretty lightings! So i fell in love wif e it though i didn't like e pillars & e low low ceilings!
Puroland: i will try to check wif her on e rehearsal thingy, then update u gals again.
Meantime, have a great wkend!!!

Hi Puroland,
I forgot to ask about the rehearsal wor ... kekek i took for granted that confirm will have one. If you follow everything by the conventional way ... then i think the banquet manager will be able to quide ... if you change the programs leh ???? how they know when to prompt you... and the projector also have to test if can connect properly to your lappy mar ... :\
I was thinking about the first come first serve car passes thingy ... good idea wor... actually HIPV's car park quite big and empty ... and they dun have alot of function rooms also ... so prolly will have enough space for your guests one ..
Any gals thinking about real-time projection for the guests in the lower ceiling hall? think my VG provides that service ... camera + projector @ 500 SGD ... if you are sourcing for one ... i can give you his contacts

Assirac, my AD is 22 Sept 2007. Actually i already source a lot of quotation for hotel ballroom, this seems to be the best deal, so dun wait liao lor...hahah
Pauline was telling me she can only let me know if the projector is available 2 wk b4 my AD. I think she does not want to commit now incase the projector spoilt.
She mention that there will be no rehersal, just meet up with the manager like 2 weeks b4 my AD and 4.00 pm on actual day to do briefing??? i am a bit puzzled also...cos all i can rem abt all my qn is 2 weeks b4 my AD and 2 months b4 my AD kind of answer...seems like just have to settle everything 2 months b4 the AD???...i think better to confirm with her b4 i sign the contract ba.
But last time my ex company do event, we also have the management company draw out the schedule and all the performancer do a simple rehersal on the actual day like 3 hrs b4 the dinner... anyone of u engage a coordinator? or doing ur own coordination?

Hihi...got indian god statue meh?? Is it just deco? Cos i just go to Oriental last night, they got one chinese statue on the table leh...
Hi puroland,
I think 2 months before the AD ... you will need to confirm the table numbers ... not of halal/vege guests... and so on. My fren's wedding program was confirmed with the banquet manager on the actual day ... during the 4pm rehearsal ... with a quick run through of everything .... Hopefully this will be the same for HIPV

Hihi,
hmmm ... was just wondering if anyone had problems with the location of the projector ... There would be quite a bit of blockage is it's by the side of the stage ... instead of on the stage .... What do you gals think?
Hi Judy & Karen, which bridal studio are you with? Would you be taking OTR or MTM?

i think the projection sure will be blocked by the pillars. No choice lor, those guest if they want to see they can stand up and see, if they dun want, even if u put it right in front of their face they also dun pay attention one.
actually the promo package now then i realise they throw it out every yr. i saw from some old posting/ mag they also have this special promo and its $20 lesser than now... i think price is increasing every yr...even promo package.

Wah ... didn't know that HIPV has this promo every year ... I wanted to book HIPV earlier on ... lucky for me, i put everything on hold until they ran this promo.
Maybe i'll try and rent another projector + screen. If not those guest sitting in the "blocked section" will prolly feel quite left out. :\

Hi Xiaohei,
tink their food is generally good lor... service also not too bad... i nvr attended wedding banquets there personally, but my FH's sister went b4 & she commented dat everything is good!
And e most impt thing is, we cannot expect alot for a price like tis too!
But dun worry, e banquet sales pple r all very friendly & nice...ballroom is lovely (minus e pillars though!)
U better act fast okie, else its either ur dates are taken or e promo pkg is removed...
