Hi ladies
I'm also looking at choosing The Legends for my wedding cos of the marquee. Ballroom weddings are too boring but outdoor weddings run the risk of rainy days.
Have seen the menu and I realised that the food selection is not very impressive given the pricing. I'm not looking at chinese dinner though. Prefer western or buffet. Has anyone tried? Comments?

Hi ladies,
Hope more and more ex-brides of TLAFC can share their experience with us here. Anyway anyone can share what the package is like for The Legends in the last wedding show?
Kel - I think the pricing is also steep as compare to some of the hotels. But the pricing is due to the special ambience, I believe.
Purple Flowers - When is your AD? Can I know how did you pay per table and total costs after adding the misc? Eg: dry ice effect, liquor etc... need more information...
Thanks

Oink Oink - totally agreed. The prices are steep given the package. Other 5 stars hotel are charging the same rates with a lot more perks. I guess we are paying for the marquee - which then again, is being placed there, like at all times due to all the weddings. FH likes that place that's why it's in the list. *Pulling hairs*

Hi Kel,
Hee.. which 5 stars hotels are you referring to? Cos the wedding package that I've got all cost $1k with the +++ excluding the liquor and all. Haiz. Well, have thought of HIA and Furama Riverfront (cost $600 - $800), but the location is not ideal and they belong to the 4 star hotels. However, it's just special to hold weddings there. For an outdoor wedding, I would say it has a pleasant ambience.

Kel, maybe I'm referring to the weekend packages. But I compared Regent and Merchant Court for weekend also not cheap lor. Somemore got to meet the minimum tables... yeah, so ex lor... it's around $30k... haiz...
hi
just to provide some feedbacks. Attended a wedding dinner at the palm terrace last weekend. Food wise was ok... infact I feel the food can compete wif some 5 stars hotels...
service is good. Prompt change in dirty plates.
Just a note, do check the sound system they provide before starting the march in...some hiccups happened.
Else it's a great affair! The way they serve the 1st dish is very entertaining! Something different.

Hi Lavender Lover,
Were you there for a wedding dinner on 21 Jan? I was there too! Just gonna check out the place and that was the first time I had seen a long march in. I think their chef was given a special award for his cooking skills and great food. I had nv try their cooking. Hee. Must admit their fanfare was really entertaining and I would say it's special in a way. Well, can you share what happened to the sound system? And I will like to know if it's stuffy that nite. I find it breezy when I was standing outside the Marquee, so wondering how you guest feel in the Marquee? By the way, can you really view the projector which is place right at the front near the stage?
When I was standing out there viewing the process and the 2nd March in.. I realised no one is noticing the photo montage or the express highlights which I find it a pity. Well, it may due to the long march in and the guests can't really see the projector.
Thanks

yup..I attended the sunday dinner bash at the terrace. The squeaing sound is indeed from the sound system... dun know what happen... sigh... can't hear the montage music...
it's a pity... else it'll be real nice! The sound made is so bad... those sitting near the speakers alomost go deaf..
lucky it was rather breezy... so that day was alright. But if during the day is hot n dry...it'll be pretty warm. I attended the dinner there twice..the first time was on a hot n humid day... so it's kinda of stuffy... guess u can ask for more fans to ventilate...it should be ok.
the projector screen is a little far... i can't really see the screen... guess maybe that day becs of the sound hiccups...the interests of the guests are not there...
Otherwise I feel it's a nice place to hold a wedding.

Well, ladies.. my first choice was The Legends.. but after seeing the wedding on Sun... really disappoints me.. In my mind, the projector issue had been on my mind. Cos not many ppl will be noticing it when i play the montage. Nv did I know that there were many ppl not noticing it. Brought my family there and they were complaining of the heat... haiz.. looks like I've got to look for other hotels... Sighed...

i did luk thru the marquee and find the projector was so small... tink they have 50 tables tts y... those too far away will have a hard time luking at it.. unless u can bring in another projector to put in on the side or wat.. for my case tink its ok cos i over 20 over tables only.. wont b too far frm the projectors...
for the weather really have to depend on luck bah..
lavender_lover the other time u attended when its hot and humid is it during jan or jun?

least the food's good.
that time i attended when it's hot n humid...can't rem exactly which month cos it's sometime back... think it was in march... but frankly speaking, the temp went down abit when it's at nite...the hot time was ard 5plus-6plus... else it was ok. dun have to worry too much.

hi yellow duck
my huuby's from the air. yours? how long they need..it'll depends on how many pairs of sword bearers u have and how long it takes before all of them reach the place to rehearse. My hubby reached there ard 1730hrs. He was asked to reached there ard that time. Anyway, the dinner time is dictated by both of u. Usually people print onthe cards dinner start at 1930hrs. Some earlier to minimise latecomers. Kia su abit.
The sword bearers will or will not sabo the couple..it'll depends on your sword bearers liao... keke... guess it all boils down to the value of hongbao they'll get and if both of u requested not to be sabo.. so u'll get a smooth walk down the arches of the sword...
no need to state on the cards if there's a military wedding.
Dun think I've seen anyone done that..

hi yellow
coincidence!
your guy is in which vocation? I was form the air force too! ;p
for me, i'll prefer a smooth walk cos I find the whole thing quite disruptve wif the sabos... music also kena cut... dun look that grand. Think it's individual preferences. Anyway all the military wedding I attended got sabos.. keke... so I opted not to have one with sabos.

Hi Oink oink..
Havn't been logging in for some time...My AD is tis year june.Havn't caculated how much is the total cost yet...don't think i will have dry ice etc..thinking to have bubbbles instead. As for liquor, we will go for the free red wine thingy, so no beer at all. Reckon approx. prob 700 plus to 800 per table lor.
So you confirm not taking LEgends for your dinner venue liao??Ehh.. the sound system stuff will make BTB at legends stress lei...the ambience really depends alot on the sound system as well...hope they can improve on it or not pple may not consider Legends becos of tat.
Cheers

Hi Purple Flowers,
Ya long time din hear from you le. Wow June, that's fast. Hee... Maybe not consider The Legends already.. cos the cranky sound system and the small projector for montage.. scary... hehe.. Y dont you have a talk with your coordinator? How's your wedding preps coming along? Have you taken you wedding photos? Care to share? My email: [email protected]. So happy for you... All the best!
I've been to GHA.. well, I must say they have a comprehensive package and service is excellent too. But I did not sign up for it. Instead I signed up with SBroadway.. Hee, they offer the similar packages but with more perks. Due to the budget constraint, I find that they are sincere, so signed up with them. Well all the best in our wedding plans.. Thanks for sharing your info with me...

Hi Oink..
Think sbroadway shld be good too, its a family business of one of my colleague's wife. Fotos shld be good.
Fotoshoot somewhere in march or end feb, will be confirming next week. Ya will speak to my coordinator when i see her re the sound system and stuff. We are taking min tables so montage shldn't be so bad. Hopefully can be improved and more couples will definitely sign up with them as they have a nice ambience.
cheers

Well, pls share your wedding photos when it's ready.. ya I think smaller no. of tables is still not that bad. Just got to keep reminding the coordinator. Hee. I should be having my wedding one yr later after yours. Did GHA do a montage for u too? or someone else to do for u?

Hi all,
My hubby went to this place for a wedding banquet and he felt it's nice.. Therefore we are thinking of holding at this place too.. Other than outdoor, they have ballroom too right?? Anyone knows how's their service right now?
Also I've read thru their wedding package, they mentioned about their membership, I don't quite understand that. Can we don't apply for their membership?
