I like the uniform too...gives a unique touch.

Fifi, I had 11 tables for the dinner and we used 1 barrel of beer and 8 bottles of wine. It was a wkday so I think not many ppl wanted to drink as they had to work the next day.

jesdreamz and viv&bl, the theme is really nice so you all must take some time to admire the decor. I know you'll be in a state of blurness that day (like I was..hehe) but remember to take a few mins/secs to admire.

brighstar and christina,
i trust both of u who had held your wedding in the orchid room. i am sure i will love it when i see the crystal theme in my AD. =)

brightstar, i think is ok if i never get to see orchid room with actual dinner before my AD. maybe when i go for food tasting, i try to arrange the day where there's wedding banquet in orchid room.

christina, my AD is on sun. hehehe...hope that 1 barrel of beer and 1 dozen of wine will be enough for our guests since u mentioned next day they have to work. i guess we will be very busy that night to admire the decor. hope will have chance and time to look at the decor during the daytime.
 
to christina - oic..home team..yes, uniform gives a diff touch and feeling...

to vivbl - good idea...then no need to go down two times...guests love the decor...my guests commented very nice and soothing
 
Hi All,

Would someone advise me , anyone's coordinator is under Krystal Lye. I just receive a letter from the hotel that my coordinator have already change. My AD is on 1st of Dec this year so when should i contact them, i quite worry that in the mid of this year my coordinator will change again.
 
to josephron - im not surprised they change ur coordinator..perhaps she quitted or what....

my coordinator changes 3 times...thru the whole of 1 year...

what i can advise u..any agreed contract, ask them to state down n sign on that contract...so u no need to re-tell everything again..cos their staff dont update each other
 
Hi josephron,

My wedding was held on 26 Dec 06 and my coordinator was Krystal Lye. Like brightstar, my coordinator was changed a few times, from Pauline to Shue to Krystal.

Don't worry, hotel line has always had a high turnover rate especially when it comes to events and F&B. Your new coordinator will just take over but like what brightstar has stressed, make sure that you've your contract with you with all the entitlements you're supposed to have. Sometimes, the new coordinator will miss out something so at least you can remind him/her and have some evidence at hand.

to josephron - sometimes changing coordinator can be a good thing....pauline refuses to give way..but shue threw in new perks and more freebies...my last coordiantor, vasanthi gave me even more freebies...
 
Wow, that's nice for you brighstar. I guess they do want to make an effort to satisfy the customer despite their internal staffing problems.
 
Hi brightstar & Christina

Thanks alot...Hope that everything will go smooth. So when should i start to contact Krystal ? Three month before huh.......

Christina so how is the service that is given by Krystal?
 
to fifi- yes..their staff always change...sigh....never long term

to josephron - hmmm...contact them 3 months before and ask them when is a good time to discuss the details..they shld be able to better advise u

yes..go on a saturday to have a feel of what it is really like...then u will know if u have enuff space for reception la....and if u like the theme..be it crystal theme or others
happy.gif
 
hi piggypig,

the orchid room is rectangular in shape with 3 pillars on left and 3 on right. it is ok for us as it is not so obvious. we are having 15 tables so i think not too many guests' view will be blocked.

the march-in is in L-shape. will be from the door, walk straight and make a left turn to the stage. so the march-in distance will be quite short.

sorry, i don't have the layout plan to share with u.

hope this helps.
 
hi pris,
have u chosen your songs for your march-in and video montage?

hi brightstar, christina and pris,
my fh and me had chosen the songs for our wedding. =) do u think these songs are suitable to be played in orchid room?

1st March-in : Shania Twain - From This Moment On
2nd March-in : N Sync - This I Promise You
Video Montage (hopefully we will have) : Celion Dion - Because You Love Me
 
Hi viv&bl, I think the songs are v suitable. The video montage should be a touching one as 'Because You Love Me' is a v sentimental song.

josephron, I have no complaints about Krystal's service. She was v responsive whenever I emailed her queries and she also allowed me to try out my CD on their sound system days before my AD. On the AD itself, she brought the Ops Mgr to our suite too. Overall, I'm v happy with her.

piggypig, I had my dinner at the Orchid Room too (had about 11 tables that night) and I used the Cystal theme (posted about 2 pics above that showed the theme). Let us know what you think about the room. For me, I found it cozy and inviting and it made the celebration intimate as I have always liked a stand alone room and did not want to opt to have a room that has a partition that shares with another wedding.

hi christina, i like the room is very nice, warm cosy! Mine only concern is the quality of the food. Mine other option is Nassim room at Regent but package high but not as good as HIPV le.. headache...
 
to vivbl - fantastic...almost the same song as mine...ur song for 1st march in is for my 2nd march in...very romantic song...

food -wise no complaint from my guests..all say very nice...

just in case u r not aware i have posted photos of my wedding dinner in my blog www.romance-fire.com

for my layout it happened that the kitchen was under renovation..so they can block out the kitchen..but the stage returns to the glass panel
 
hi christina,
actually i find that "because you love me" is a very touching song when i saw the lyrics. it's a song that me and fh like very much. i won't be using for march-in so i thought of using in video montage.

i have same thinking as you...i don't like to have a room that has a partition that shares with another wedding and also if there are more than 1 banquet rooms but all in the same level. that's y i opt out dragon gate.

hi piggypig,
i understand your situation. cos i was also struggling between peony jade restaurant and HIPV before i finally decided on HIPV.

hi brightstar,
hehehe..."from this moment on" is really a nice song. the more i hear it, the more i love the song.
happy.gif


oh, did the kitchen went under renovation before? i was told there's 2 locations to choose to place the stage. the location near kitchen will be a better one if were to consider longer march-in. but as my coordinator mentioned, this location is not advisible. so might have to choose the location at the other end which is not near to kitchen. was your stage at the location further from the kitchen?
 
to vivbl - actually i choose the one at the kitchen...so longer march in..and i have no issue with tt..no blockage...the hall looks "longer"

there was renovation in nov and dec 06

Hi all,

I just had my wedding lunch on 27 Jan 07. Everything went on very smoothly n the crystal ballroom recieved alot of compliments. The banquet manager, Leon did a very good job in coordinating our wedding. Thumbs up. No regrets having our wedding there.
 
hi christina (kaeko),

there will be an increase of $30 per table for wedding package 2008 compared to the 2007 package.
 
hi brightstar,

oh, then i will check with my coordinator in the next meet up whether if it is possible to have the stage near the kitchen. thanks.
 
hi christina (kaeko),

my wedding is in end of this year so i can't give you any comment on their food and service.

since your wedding is in june 2008, i will suggest that you wait till their wedding show in april. you will be able to get more perks.
 
Ok viv&bl but i am very sure you saw the ballroom,do you have any photos of their ballroom.=) i mean for ballroom for 25 tables.Could you email me?Thankz

Christina

hi christina (kaeko),

ambience and comprehensive package are the factors which i considered when i decide on my banquet venue. i love their crystal theme decoration. my wedding banquet will be in orchid room which is for min 15 tables. crystal ballroom which can hold up to 40 tables is very beautiful.
 
u r welcome. what are the hotels that u have shortlisted so far for your wedding banquet? u should go down to HIPV and have a look at their actual banquet setup in crystal ballroom to see if u like it.
 
to vivbl - sure..welcome

Hi all,
