to erain - if know the venue, can tell me? i wan to post on my blog and tell other brides-to-be...
oh, i have to give the wedding show a miss cos i intend to hold my wedding in orchid room on 16 dec 07. any btb holding their wedding on the same day as me in the crystal ballroom?
i compared the wedding package of other hotels which can hold about 15 tables but their price seem to be on the high side and not as comprehensive as HIPV.
shall decide on HIPV. my bf and me will be going to sign the contract on fri.
hi brightstar and christina,
i met up with my coordinator last sun to have a look at their crystal ballroom with banquet.
had another look at orchid room also. i just realised that the march in is very short. do both of u feel odd when marching in at a short distance? and also it is better to have very short music for march in , right?

fifi,
i think most probably is because yours is in 2008 so they drag. they might have changes for 2008 wedding packages. my coordinator mentioned that there will be changes in wedding favours for our case.
mine is in 2007 so it was quite fast that my coordinator will be preparing the contract for us to sign this fri.
u may want to wait for the wedding show in apr then sign up since u are holding your wedding in 2008. of course provided that yours is not in early 2008 or not a very popular date.

hi viv&bl,perhaps u can walk at a slower speed,so tht e march in seems longer?
tink their bridal show shld be at their hotel itself,isnt it?

Hi viv&bl,
Yup, the march in is short but don't worry, you would not feel awkward. I chose the march in which is you come in from the entrance then turn left. The other other option is to turn right but I preferred the first one.
The music I chose is a slow one. Trick is not to walk in the moment the music starts but to walk in at a certain time (depends on what song/music you choose). You can also walk slower like what Babystarlet says.
Anyway, for the first walk in, best is to walk in a little while after the music starts, that'll give the dry ice a few seconds to 'fill' up the aisle before you come in.

hi babystarlet,
thanks for your suggestion. maybe have walk slower lor. i was thinking of using "Shania Twain - From This Moment On" for march in. but seems that this song is too long for march in.
i am not sure where the bridal show will be held. maybe i can ask my coordinator and let u all know on fri.
btw, there's waive of wine corkage for wines bought from their wine partner. i think is reasonable as after 18+++ will be around 22. min have to get one dozen which will be around 264 in total.

Oh yah, with regards to having a short song for march in. Actually you don't need to have a very short song because you still have some stuff to 'do' on stage after you walk in.
Eg. You'll be going up on stage to cut the cake then slowly make yr way to yr seat after the 1st march in.
For 2nd march in, you'll be going up on stage to pop the champagne.
So your two songs should be able to last till you complete everything

Hi Brides,
If you need any projectors, audio equipment, can contact this guy. Sim @ 9743-2423. His price is reasonable, less than $200 and very reliable.
Cheers!

Hi viv&bl,
You can still use Shania Twain's song for the 1st march-in.
You play the song first but you don't come in till the start of the 2nd verse.
That means:
From this moment…life has begun
From this moment…your are the one
Right beside you is where i belong
From this moment on
**You start walking in here
From this moment…i have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love i’d give my last breath
From this moment on
**You'll be going up on stage to cut the cake
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can’t wait to live my life with you can’t wait to start
You and i will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
**You'll be going to sit down
*music will slowly die down from here onwards
From this moment…as long as i live
I will love you…i promise you this
There is nothing…i wouldn’t give
From this moment on

Hi viv&bl,
I just went to Yahoo to get it cause wanted to illustrate what I meant when I suggested that you walk in at the second verse.
For me I didn't use this song. My first song was an instrumental song...like a slow march type of music. The second song is a song by Christian Bautisa called "The way you look at me". Maybe you can check it out and see if you like it.

Christina: Thanks for your sharing!
So sweet of you to even "chereograph" for us.
I've started to listen to different songs for 1st my march-in. I told FH i'll pick the song for 1st march-in & he'll choose the song for 2nd march-in! Haha...like that will be fair!
I'm thinking of the song "I Do (Cherish You)" cos the lyrics also very meaningful.

to pris - wow..actually we wanted that song too..but we had used it or our valentine day a few years ago when we co-host a Toastmasters meeting.... 
pls can someone share wif me the contact person at HIPV. someone reliable, frenly and generous with perks.
thanks, email me at [email protected]
thanks, email me at [email protected]
btw, will HIPV be able to play on their system if i supplies them mp3 songs?
hi christina,
pai sei, i think i have not heard the song "The way you look at me" before. but i will try to find and listen to it. it must be a nice song so u chose it for your march in.
hi brightstar,
i guess i will be even more stress than u during march in cos i have stage fright...hehehe.
hi TY,
yes, they do have a smaller room called orchid room for wedding banquet. but the minimum is 15 tables to maximum 20 tables. i only meet up with my coordinator twice so far. think she's ok. didn't manage to get any perk from her though. anyway i find that their wedding package is good enough already based on the price.

Hi viv&bl,
Yup, you need to have yr MP3s in CDs. Mine were in CDs and we arranged to try them out a few days prior to the dinner (you can ask your coordinator if that can be arranged for you).
As for the song, there're a few websites that have samples. Did a little search for you.
Here's one:
http://www.angelfire.com/musicals/donz/theway.html
This one's about the singer:
http://www.christianbautista.org/
Don't worry too much about yr march-in. You'll be fine; just know that the room will be filled with the people you love and that everyone is so happy for you. Just be comfortable.

for HIPV, cant play mp3 format...if i were u, i will choose the song by celine dion
Hi Pris,
I agree with brightstar, "Because You Love Me" has very meaningful lyrics; it's a very touching song.
I think my songs (for march-ins and background) were in MP3 format which my friend cut into CDs. Some sound systems may and some may not play those type of CDs. That's why it's best that you arrange with your coordinator to go down to the ballroom to test out all the CDs you intend to use.
I went down to test about a week or less towards the wedding. Was keeping my fingers crossed at the time.
I think it's best that you get yourself some backup in case your CD doesn't work.
Viv&bl, sorry, I realised that the link I gave on the song "The way you look at me" doesn't work. Here's one that I found that works.

hi brightstar and christina,
thanks for your encouragement. hope we will be able to march in nicely on my AD. must hold my htb's hand tight tight as i will be afraid. with him beside me, i guess i won't be so stress.
ok, i will convert the mp3 files into wav file and burn to cd. anyway it is still early so i still have ample time to choose songs.
christina, i appreciate your help in telling me more about your favourite song "The way you look at me". nice song with meaningful lyrics. Christian Bautisa is handsome...hehehe

hi pris,
i also agree with brightstar and christina that "because u love me" is a nice song with very meaningful lyrics.
before u mentioned about this song, i was busy searching english songs from my sis's cds. she has both celine dion and shania twain's cd which has the song "because u love me" and "from this moment on". i am thinking of having these two songs for march-in. but i think like what u said i think i will choose one song and my HTB choose another song for march in.
i guess u can have both "because u love me" and "I Do (Cherish You)" songs played since u like both songs. u can use one for 1st march in. your FH choose the song he like for 2nd march in. i think there will be chance for u to play the song that u didn't select for your march.

brightstar, christna & viv&bl -- Thanks for your help. Yep, think i'll most likely stick to "Because You Love Me". Perhaps will use "I Do (Cherish You)" for our montage. Hee...shall let hubby use 2nd march-in song on his own. His onus!
Coffee: I also agree that you can check with your coordinator. They should be able to give you some more cards.

fidn a day when there is an actual dinner..ask ur coordinator to let u pop by around 7pm..go into the ball room and really feel how fantastic the theme is
too bad till now i don't have a chance to see orchid room with actual dinner. is ok for us and we also don't want to trouble our coordinator lor.
i like crystal ballroom as it has very high celling and very nice crystal lightings unlike orchid room. but my fh and i don't find it very fantanstic with the crystal theme in crystal room maybe because the ballroom is big, very bright and without any guest yet. i guess for the smaller orchid room, it will look more fantastic with the small focus of area. but i agree that crystal theme look real fantastic in photos.
