Jeank,

I think you should try asking them for the tickets...shouldn't be any prob I believe..can say you want to see the new themes...
happy.gif


In actual fact, initially I was quite hesitant about Traders cos we heard a few -ve feedbacks on their services and screw-ups from friends who attended weddign there. Like my FH said, the real test of their service is after we sign with them...hope they can maintain the standard loh...
happy.gif


Actually, I don't know whether it was Thomson's credit that we got the additional perks...
Cos on the day of viewing the bridal suite(also the day we told them we confirm want to sign up with them), we were attended by another coordinator, can't remember her name but she was the director's personnal assistant...and when we told her what we wanted she said no problem and she'll try her best to get for us...
happy.gif

I believe she played a part too...very nice and friendly lady...but she is usually in charge of events, not weddings...

Hi tea,

It will be based on 2004 as long as they haven't officially launch their 2005 package. One thing for sure, if you sign at wedding show, you'll be taking the 2005 package...this is what they told me...

hi gals,
i've went down to traders last sat to meet up thomson. fyi, the photo for 2005 wedding setup is not out yet. very keen in traders. my wedding is tentatively set on June 05 weekday.

limy, if u dun mind. can you share w me ur package & additional perks u got? thanks..

[email protected]
 
hi all

anyone know whether trader hotel provides transport from orchard mrt? read somewhere that they do?

can anyone share what they offer during their wedding show?

tnx
 
Hi moo,

not sure whether they provide transport, probably u can email them.

as for the wedding show, they giving free flow of beer during first hr of cocktail, $30 off per table, T-dragon(printing firm) $38 voucher, Stefii's blooms & craft(florist) $80 voucher, double-up bridal studio $588 voucher & photo montage from Rhem* (replace * with a) video production Pte Ltd.

Offer valid till 17 Oct (sun)
happy.gif


However, prices have increased...if i didn't remember the numbers wrongly, it's $598+++ per table of 10pax for weekdays, $659+++ and 1 more $700 odd for weekends...

Perks wise is similar to 2004 package, except they increase to 10 pax food tasting...

Hope this helps
happy.gif


Yingal,
sorry for the late reply...
I'm sorry i do not have the soft copy for 2005 package. If you don't mind, i can email u the 2004 package and make amendments to the perks n pricing according to the 2005 one (but i need some time to do it cos hard copy with FH
happy.gif
) or you can email traders to ask for the soft copy...

Hi xiaodingdang,

Have you taken your PS?

Hi hi,

i signed up with Traders for the 8-course weekend package. currently, my package includes the fried soon hock fish. would like to check whether anybody tried to change the fish and how much to top up? THanks!
 
HI soupie,

oh, i didn't noe.. currently it's a fried soon hock... i tot usually people favours steam fish tat's why i tot of checking out the topping up cost
 
CSP, i think u go for ur food tasting first then decide.... i think it's a preference.. u can't satisfy everyone.. but if having steamed fish, u have to make sure that the fish is very fresh.
 
Hi Soupie,

ya, you are rite. I will try the fried soon hock first then... if it's nice, then i dun have to fork out extra $$..
happy.gif
thanks!
 
Hi CSP,

alternatively, you can request for the soon hock to be steamed at no additional charge(according to Thomson)...
happy.gif
 
Hi Sistas,

Been missing in action for quite a while.

Have gone to the wedding show and saw the bridal suite too
happy.gif


Really happy that we sign the package before the show cos it's definitely great bargain.
 
CSP,
no problem!
happy.gif


Hi Jeank,
ya...totally agree! The new price is scary!
uhoh.gif

How you find the new theme? I find it a little too messy but my FH likes it...
A non-traders related qn, may I ask who you got as AD photographer? I'm hunting high and low for one that's available on my date.
sad.gif
 
Hi Soupie & Limy

Long time no tok!!

Soupie, can I also haf your contact for AD photography? I do haf one contact cos my fren just finished her wedding last Sunday. He's her photographer, Michael. You can go to his website www.popiah.com. A nice guy who shows a great deal of care to d bride. I'm not too sure whether he's good or not. Waiting to see the photos. I think he only charged my fren SGD800 for her package with 2 photographers, unlimited digital photos. And he's not particular abt the timing like he came so early at 4.30am and stayed so late in the afternoon and still don charge extra.

By the way, which bridal shop did you sign up with? I just sign up with Milan Wedding collection...any advice??

cheers
 
jeank, i've signed up with jazreel low collections.. i've just uploaded my PS photos.. wanna see?

as for advice.. are u getting OTR or MTM? i find that getting OTR is good enuff if ur bridal shop have a good spread of designs.. and do ur research well.. whether it's for gown designs, hairdos, PS locations, the poses u want..
happy.gif
 
Hi Soupie,

Please send to [email protected]. Thanks a lot!!

my photoshot is on Nov 14, sunday. Thinking of going to Sentosa and also take photoshots for nightscenes? any advices of places ideal for photoshots for day and night?

I'm taking OTR. I think they do have a good spread of designs.

Hi Limy, I like the gold theme best..cos it looks really elegant...Any idea what' the choices available for wedding gifts?
 
jeank, i went to sentosa for my PS.. as well as the railway tracks and st teresa's church.. but i didn't go for nay nitescenes.. u can try fullerton for nite scene.. i understand alot of couples go there for nite PS.

have sent u the link to my photos...
happy.gif
 
Hi ladies! :D

soupie, yes! I definitely am interested in the contacts for AD photographer. Please PM me the deatils. And also, can I take a look at your photos too? Thanks a lot!
happy.gif


Jeank, Thomson showed me one new wedding favour. It's a pen in the shape of a corsage(i.e. a stalk of flower with the pen nib at the tip of the stalk)

I'm with seletar broardway. Sign up during their exhibition...on impulse. Have yet to look at their gown collections...but heard from friends and other threads that most pple take up MTM...probably their OTR design quite limited
sad.gif
 
limy, send liao.. go and check the gowns first before u decide.. sometimes u may be able to find wat u like altho the gowns are limited
happy.gif
 
Hi Hi Soupie/Limy

Saw your photo!! Great!! I think I will also go for Sentosa..hee
happy.gif


Limy, i spoke to Thomson last sat noon abt the wedding gifts. He told me only got chocolates or fruit cakes. Lucky you tell me, so the next time I see him, I can also request to see the pens. Tks a lot!!

My sis also toke seletar broadway 5 yrs ago. Why not you go down to their shop n check out their collection.
 
Hi Limy,

Finally found my AD photography!! Highly recommend him, Chris. He's oso my fren's photographer. The package very good n attractive rate. I saw my fren's fotos, indeed pics are well taken!! Let me know if you wanna contact him!!

Cheers
 
Hi Jeank,

Can I have your AD photographer's contacts? Thanks.

I tried the Michael from popian.com. Quite expensive. Can't remember the exact amount thou...

Will go down to SB when it's closer to my AD to see the gowns. Since we signed up already, regret also no choice liao...

Hi soupie,

I agree with Jeank, your photos are very well taken!
happy.gif
 
Hi Irene,

I'll be using the Temasek. Besides the room being a bit small and ceiling low, I have yet to find any protential problem with the enterance.
happy.gif


You with traders too?
 
jeank/limy, thanks!
happy.gif
hey i just went for food tasting yesterday... food were generally yummy.. except for the fish.. i'm having steamed red garoupa.. really big fish.. that's why the meat abit tough.. so have requested them for 2 smaller fish instead... shuang shuang dui dui.. keke... the one we like best is the sharks fin.. it's really full of sharks fin and crab meat.. yummy! hope it'll remain the same for my AD
biggrin.gif
 
hi limy,
thanks, i am considering using the temasek room as i only have 18 tables,room look quite nice for this number.

find the entrance to the foyer abit wierd as it is beside the escalator and in fact can see escalator "bottom" from the foyer where cocktail will be held.

have u seen the bridal suite? how is it?..
happy.gif
 
Hi Limy,

I definitely agree Michael is so ex!! He has raised his price. My AD photographer is Chris @ 98709837. Pls give me your email address so I can mail you his website address and his packages. He's nice, very easy going and flexible.

My package is only SGD600
- full day digital photography from Morning to night with no overtime charges,
- unlimited shots, 300 edited 4R prints in gloss/matt with white border,
-1 cd comprises edited copy of 300 printed photos
-1 cd comprises of unedited remaining photos
- CD cover designed with picture, date and name
- 1 professional slot-in wedding album sorted by photographer in story line
- 2 x 8R
- PLUS 1 FREE MONTAGE (which I bargain)
- E-Album slideshow in VCD format.

**He has another package which is SGD500.
Saw my fren's photographs taken by him, find them well taken, so it's a great bargain!!
 
Hi Zenith,

Temasek room is great for march in. Traders gives me a very cosy and warm ambience with their wonderful table setup. Initially I wanted to take temasek but decided not to cos find gallery more appealing to myself. The foyer is great for reception where guests can mingle around. But you need to direct your guests to Temasek in case of another wedding in Gallery.

Saw the bridal suite during the wedding show. If you will be going to Traders for discussion, you can try requesting to see the bridal suite. Although the suite is not as big as I thought, it's good enough.
 
Thanks Jeank, my email is [email protected] or you can private message me
happy.gif


Zenith,

I agree with jeank...traders gives a cosy feeling to me too
happy.gif
As suggested, you should go down traders and ask to take a look at the suite and feel for yourself...each person have diff preference...
happy.gif


I just went for a wedding at raffles the plaza (form westin stamford) on deepavali. Their bridal suite is REALLY big, spacious and luxurious. And the view is great (at level 64).
Traders' room, on the other hand, is not very big but nice and cosy for me. There are a few suites. Some appears to be slightly larger than others. The one shown during bridal show is slightly smaller than the one I saw previously. Too bad i forgot which level that was on...
Jeank, u remember the suite shown during bridal show is which level?
 
Soupie,

Glad to hear that the food is good.
biggrin.gif
I think the shark fin is one of their famous dish. My friend who went there for banquet dinner last yr also commented the shark fin was good
happy.gif
Hope they will up hold the std and don't change chef loh...
By the way, which package you took? Eternal?

Zenith,
I actually like the reception area very much. Spacious and more private. Like Jeank said, might have to put up clear signs to show your guest the way.
 
Hi Limy,

Had fwd the package to you!!!

The bridal suite I went to durin oct bridal show is on Level 13th. Ya, indeed the suite is not big but okay for me considered the package we got is very reasonable. I will be having my food tasting earlier which is next Wednesday Nov 17th. Will keep all updated abt the food as well ;) cheers!!!
 
Hi Jeank,

thanks! How come he is known as chris hur? I thought it is by another name.."Ka* *eng"? He seems pretty novice and I worry about the quality (sharpness and brightness). Saw the pics at his website...ok but some seems a bit blur...was the actual print gd as compared to those on website?
 
jeank, mine is the tulip package from last yr's.. i dunno if they have it this yr.. it's actually a 9 course dinner for weekdays. when's ur wedding btw? ur food tasting next week?! so ur wedding date is quite near mine? mine is in mid dec...

limy, did i forward to u my photography contact? u dun like his work?
happy.gif
do give me ur comments so that i can feedback to him.. kekeke
happy.gif
he's done a few weddings.. for my frens and colleagues.. so far he's been able to deliver and pictures are sharp and colors are good
happy.gif
 
Hi Limy

You can call him Chris aka Ka**eng. Initially I look at his website, frankly speaking did find the photos not impressive. Only later, when I met him up, I saw the photos he took for my frens which turn out much much better than what i expected. Seems acceptable to me. You can try meeting him up and oso the photographer Soupie recommends. Different people like different style, so it's okie to check out a few more. Btw, what's your budget for AD photography??

Later, I will fwd you another photographer which is also not bad, check out his website!!

Hi Soupie

My package for traders hotel is BLISS (8course), my AD is Feb 20th, Sunday. Decided to have food tasting earlier cos I predict I will be very busy at work in Jan and Feb.
 
Hi Limy,

Forgot to mention to you that this Chris has actually taken Wedding photos at Traders before, so i find it better, cos he's familiar and knows how things are like in traders.
 
Soupie,

What dishes does the tulip package have?
I emailed your AD photography...still waiting for his reply. Can you let me have a rough estimation how much he charged you? Thanks!

Jeank,
Chris is out of town and will only be back later next wk...I also emailed the Kel** Ko*..waiting for reply too...
My budget for photography is below $800.

Did any of you engage videographer for your actual day?
 
Hi gals,

considering Trader's Hotel for my AD...how much is per table on sunday?? and they do any tentative booking for 2006?? any coordinator to intro???
 
limy, my photographer is yew kwang.. confirmed him abt a yr ago... i'm getting mirage pictures to do my videography..
happy.gif


btw, this chris is not the chris from chr*swedding rite? he's in trouble for mis-using other photographer's pics as his own.

my tulip pkg dishes are, cold dish (suckling pig, topshell salad, chicken ngoh hiang, sharksfin omlette), sharksfin with crabmeat and bamboo shoot (this is really good!), roast chicken (crispy and yet tender, surprisingly good altho simple dish) stirfry prawns & scallops with celery (this is good too prawns and scallops are big and fresh), seacucumber with mushrooms (nice too), champagne porkribs (normal), steamed red garoupa with soya sauce (fish too big so meat is tough altho fresh so we're changing to 2 smaller fish instead of 1 big one), glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaf (i like this better than ee fu noodles :P) and pai lin ho hup (like chng tng soup with longan, lotus seed & bud, dates etc (warm and refreshing, u'll finish it even tho it's the last dish, compliments the glutinous rice)

i'm taking out one dish (pork ribs) and upgrading my first dish, cos 9 course really too filling..
happy.gif
 


pink lady, i really have no idea wat's the weekend pkg now.. cos they've revised their prices after their wedding show in oct.. maybe u can contact thomson (who is the main coordinator in charge now).
