hmm.. I'm not taking any bridal studio package. our AD photographer is Kelvin Koh and we are having pre-wedding photos done in Aus (Because we reside in aus currently and will be ROMing here). FH is malaysian so we might head there to buy a gown.

this thread is starting to be more lively again!

hey peeps, any entertainment u have planned during your reception at Traders?

Hi Cassie,
Yes, we have booked our photographer in Perth. He is going to be taking photos of our reception here so that includes pre=wedding photos too. Are you looking for Singapore photographers who head there? There are quite a few good ones like lighted pixels, grey matter..etc. =)

Hi Girls

I'm also thkg of holding my weddin next yr at Trader's Hotel. So how's it been so far? Do u know what's the rates for the live band?

Hi violet! My experience with them is that they are efficient and quick to respond to questions or concerns. Not sure about the whole dinner experience though.. hopefully other couples who hv held their wedding there will give other comments as well.

Rates for a live band depends on whether you want 2 or 3 piece bands, and how many sessions (usually spilt to around 45 minutes per session). Maybe u want to email some of them to give u their packages? There was one that we are considering is around $1500 for 3 sessions, 3 piece bands but we are still exploring options + looking at budget.. I think it can range from a few hundreds to thousands.

Hey Violet! No worries. oo..from what you said, it sounds like Traders have different packages for bands as well? I didnt know that! I posted previously- bands like little dream and yours truly.

Wasnt the wedding fair in March? hmmm.. Wonder what kind of perks they provided then.

Morning everyone!

I've checked with Traders, they do not provide live band, gotta outsource so I'll consider Daphne's contact.

Can quote your name for better rates?

Hi, I've jux sign up with Traders Hotel for my wedding lunch, AD is 6 Dec 08. And Charlotte is our co-ordinator. We find her service good and she tries her way to cater to our needs as well which I think she is quite flexi also. We are using Temasek Rm and its has been jus revovated last yr. Which I find that very nice. And the long aisle is long enough for a long march-in

Hi all,

I haven't visited this thread for some times after my wedding early this year. we had it at Temasek. We signed up with Traders before the renovation, and we liked the layout of the room which allows long march in, and I just loved the English-Tudor style then.. after the renovation, to my surprise, the lights on the side-walls are gone... a little disappointed, but everything looks beautiful on the wedding day, my co-ordinator Charlotte, did an excellent job, when I arrived earlier at the hotel, she's got her staff to greet and guide us to our suite, my husband and my family are very very impressed with their whole service. The food comes in big portion. I didn't even notice any of the decor as I was most of the time in the bridal suite, until the march in, only from our wedding photos I noticed how lovely is the decor, oh.. I requested her help to tie the all chairs with my byo sash, turns out very nice..

Congrats to you all..

Dishes can be changed across the menu types, e.g. if wanna change chicken to duck, top up about 80 bucks or something like that.

Hey Khim, I dont hv the 2009 package and we signed before they were out. Our wedding is in May 2009. I think there is a $50 price increase from the 08 package though. Why not email them? They reply really quickly and r very helpful.

New Member
ixoral- we took the 888+ package because we thought it was worth it... but our co-coordinator also said that 788+ is quite good already.

well i chose traders hotel cos of the long march in at the temasek ballroom.. intialy my HTB also feels that it is too longish..but when i told him i wanted a long march in and the tables on both sides won't be blocked by any tables.. he was happy to have our dinner at temasek room..
happy.gif
importantly it has a big foyer which you dont have to share with other rooms..

Hi Cindy,
My wedding cards are printed via Traders contact which is commently use by hotel "T-Dragon". U can also try out other printer. Jux that hotel recommend, so I jux use them to print to save trouble as they also help us collect the wedding cards from hotel so we no need to make another trip to go down the hotel to collect the cards. The price is reasonable,normal print 1st 200 pcs is $100.

Tingting, I'm going for the coming wedding show this sat. Will be signing up during the wedding show, hope the perks are good!

Btw, i have viewed the renovated Gallery Ballroom. Compared to the Temasek Ballroom, the colour scheme is lighter which i kinda like it. The look and feel is slightly different from the Temasek.

Btw, the coordinator whom i liaised with is Joanna. Very nice lady.
