Indian wedding Services in Singapore


Bhav,
Apart from CCs, Khalsa, Futsing Building, Foochow building,Legends @ Fort canning will be able to handle trad ceremony.
Hotels dun allow coz of safety issue.
Orchid country club- not too sure.u can call up & ask
Safra yishun- cannot hold it in ballroom but outside can & there's space for only 150 pple. The rest must watch thru some projection TV inside the ballroom. (Not a gd idea, I feel)

My sis did this research coz she too wanted to do it elsewhere instead of temple.
Hope it helps....
 
Hi Guys,

Thank you so so much, for all your contributions. You guys are such help, so much more help than my relatives..(*tsk,tsk*.

HIPV is ok with the trad ceremony, but looks like Sep-Dec 08 weekends are fully booked. I am hoping that a Friday evening is still available for me....

Bhav.
 
Hi Guys,

Yeah they sent me some proposals. not bad la. about $60 per person, depending on whether you want the vegetarian or non-veg menu. But let me ask you guys, is it relatively easy to change from the traditional costume to the reception outfit? Wouldn't the bride, a.k.a me, be in a mess after the kumkum smeared on my forehead, etc etc? And the hairdo? How is the MUA supposed to change the hairstyle so quickly huh? i am really starting to wonder whether i should even change into the reception outfit at all, cos by the time the wedding ends proper, will there be even time for people to see me in the reception outfit? Sigh, confused!! And when will i play my video montage? after the thaali-tying? or during the dinner, when people will be busy coming up on stage to do the formalities?

ergh...
 
Hi Swarna,

Thanks for the info. Where in JB is this place situated. Do you have any photos to share and wat does the package consist of?
 
Hey guys! Am I ever so glad that there's a forum for just us Singaporean Indian Brides! I was desperately searching for vendors who understood Indian skin and hair and customs enough to tweak their services toward this market. I'm still in the planning stages of my wedding and I think things got a lil more easier now that I know I've got my community to lean back on. Congratulations girls!
 
hi jeyanthi....the addie is No 87, Jalan Perisai, Taman Sri Tebrau...Tel 607-3316612...Do look for Apple (english speeking) if you know malay then can look for ms lee...just say recommended by Puni and they should be able to recognise...

from the camerguy to the makeup artist everyone is frendly and you sure can be satisfied of the final pdt...

can bargain for the packages, such as from 2 to 4 table portraits and etc..

HI Ladies... Great to be back after a long break.
Happy New Year to all of u. Dinner(ROM) went very well. Shanti(MUA) did a perfect job. Oriental was awesome... always there to help out. Edmund(PG) was facinating. DJ(Boom Box) & MC(Stage 4) really ran the show well tht ppl commented 'Very well planned wedding (like real) and time flew without realising'. It was full hse till 1am. It was a really a wonderful day. Hotel coordinator helped to deco car (nice of him to help). MC & DJ patched up flawlessly our unfinished agenda. PG called on a 2nd PG (FOC) to shoot as he found makeup and gowns were facinating. I was really a pincess. My dinner is one tht I'll never want to rewind incase it'll be ruined the next time round. Thanks to tis forum that I had the perfect team for my dinner.

Now starting of with my traditional wedding preparations.

Girls, do feel free to ask for help. We married brides are always around to help. I'm also looking forward to receive ideas for my traditional wedding.
 
sphire,

congrats on a wonderful wedding...and a happy new year to you too...a new year,a new adventure for you, being a missus and all..hee..

Swarna ... Keke we are in the same boat ! Home and wedding . Repainting my home again and cleaning up.
happy.gif


I infact decided to do away with the buying of living room furnitures to lessen my hassle . Shall slowly pick my stuff .
happy.gif

I even got stressed in choosing garlands ! Too many to choose from .Dint know what i wanted. Went back home without choosing.. and came back the next day ,only my elders grumbled .. heheh. Anyway done with shopping of all the sarees.

Mani and Pedi are a form of relaxants .. so just enjoy them !!

Btw, anyone knows how much ananda bhavan rest. charges for a pax of 50 ? thinking of ordering from them for my bangle ceremony .
 
Hi Swarna,

We are in the same boat. Have to deal with the house and wedding at the same time.
I went for BOWS 2008 and booked Bridal Concept for my photoshoot. Thanks for recommending the boutique in JB. Decided to do it in Singapore.

Which company is Don from and wat are his charges like. I'm also doing my traditional wedding at Khalsa. Does he have a website?
 
Shan,
4 ya bangle ceremony are u having a MUA to help in saree, makeup & hair?
I'm not taking one so I dunno if I'm supposed to have 1 !!
Wat abt deco 4 d house? any ideas?
 
Angelic gal - Yes i did hire someone for just makeup . I engaged a normal saloon lady @ my place to do a simple hairdo . Tying of saree .. relative will help out . Quite reasonable this way i guess.
Its really up to you if you want to hire anyone . I thought everyone is gonna look @ me .. so i better look good hehehhh .. for the sake of cams @ least .

Deco for new house or parents house?
If its parents hse - I leave it to my cousins.
 
Shan - yes looking good for the cam is impt

Can i ask u ladies is it ok to wax arms before wedding? I only plan to wax once but I'm worried that the hair will become coarse after it regrows. I dun plan to wax my arms anymore aft wedding so is it ok to just do it once?
 
Jeyanthi, Don is doing my trad wedding at kalsa too...maybe I can send you some pics after my wedding on jan 20th...saw his pics and liked them...i wanted really an indian style of decor so chose him..(not the modern,malay stlye) sorry no website leh...his contact is in my earlier posts...

Shan, oh yes gotta relax when I have them done next week...for my garlands, you can ask at jothi and they will recommend the light weight ones..will be better to manage...

Angelic,dun think i will recommend waxing..me too worried it might get worst off after the wedding and Im the type who will not do regular maintenance...keke..oh yes, me too not getting a MUA for the bangle ceremony,felt its a small home event so can save some money there...
 
Hey gals,
I ordered my garlands frm Jothi. My MUA was telling me to order double vadai kondai malai. What is that?? What kind of rakodi are u ladies buying from them. They seem very ugly to me! but no choice I guess.
My garlands are No:12 pattern
 
Sphire- Hi, ther...welcome back. I am sure u looked really good cos Shanti can transform just about anyone... That's Shanti's gifting. And of cos, Oriental Hotel is the best.. gd to knw the sound system worked out wel too. gd 4 u. u were blessed and I am glad for u. And dun wori, I am nt bearing any grudges that u booked Shanti in the manner that u did. all went well for me too, so I am cool. Hope ur trad wedg goes well, too, ya? God bless.
 
Hey can someone pass me Shanti and Menaka's contact details? Also would you girls send me your photos if done by either of these MUAs? I am seriously considering doing my own make-up. I am so confused.
 
Helloe ladies!!
On Panic mode now!!
Wedding date is 28/06/08
Venue is Sri Mariamman Temple, evening wedding
ANy suggestions/recommendations for wedding hall decor?
Also for videographer and AD photographer.
Please help!!!
 
Hi Swarna,

It would be good if you got send me photos of your deco. My email address is [email protected]. Thanks.

Pravina, If i'm not wrong for Sri Mariamman Temple, they use Guna's for wedding hall deco. I think you have to check with them.
 
Hello Girls .....

Howz everyone ? Esp The Jan Brides ..
I am lost with myself . Anyway, just got back my Pre wedding photography album 2 days back . Glad i am done with it but then again all those hassles was worthwhile end of the day .

Angelic gal - The kondai maalai is some hair deco essential i guess . I was told to order that as well . Re: Iron , really no idea !! but i think normally wedding sarees are of good quality ? No need ?

Worried - If you are considering Menaka .. i suggest you book her soon .
 
Hi girls... need some advice.. any recomendations for good but reasonable photo and videographers for actual day? If so could you also provide the contact details.. thanks loads ladies... getting super stressed... 7 mths to go!!!!
 
yeah getting nervous . I hope i wont faint !Anyway on leave from today . I hope to finish all outstanding stuffs. I went to double confirm my menu yesterday so food and decor is settled for good.
My wedding favours will be arriving on the 20th .
My saree blouses to be collected on 22nd. Then make a trip to MUA to select the accessories.
Yet to buy bangles and stuff for bangle ceremony. Thinking of doing away with photographer for bangle ceremony. Confused !! heheh

Home - My new hood and hob has arrived . Should start utilising it Effectively soon !keke
Bedset arriving tomorrow.
My painting will start today . Expected date of completion .. tomorrow !
My curtains are ready for collection .
Meantime, shall spring clean ..
 
I'm on leave frm Tues onwards. Almost done everything except for personal stuff. I'm having photographer for bgle ceremony bt no video. Fd from Mayura.Deco for hall is by my mum's malay frend. Makeup & sari tying helped by sis & relatives. hehe
Since u r dealing with your new home, it'll be double work & stress for u & yr hubby. Prep for wedding is already stressful for me...
 
Shan- Do you have Menaka's contact number? How much do trials cost? Email me please [email protected]

And if any of you ladies would be so kind as to share your pics or experiences with MUA Shanti or Menaka, please email me!

My wedding date's probably sometime next year. I just want a heads-up on the costs involved so I can decide where to beg/borrow/steal from. Hee.. Trying to cut corners as much as possible. Weddings ought to be a celebration of the togetherness of the couple and their families and not a game of who-pays-for-what. Sigh.. getting breathing difficulties..
