Indian wedding Services in Singapore

[reds]

Jasmine... If you want something for 2k then you might want to try Seletar Brdway... They are not as hip as the other more famous BS but the cost is low. you can bring in Indian outfits as well.

Anyone tried Ananthi's (vasantham central) make-up? Any comments? Checked out her cost. quite reasonable....

 

[amias]

HI LFC

how much does Ananthi's make up cost?

 

[reds]

She quoted $180 for make-up, hair and saree tying... I had asked for reception though... actual wedding price might differ.

She did the make-up and hair for my cousin's 21st birthday... impressive!

 

[amias]

wow.. 180 is very reasonable!
do u have her contact details?

Could you ask your cousin if possible you could share the pics? just to know how the make up skills are..

if she doesnt mind, email me this pics to [email protected]

 

[jasminebegum]

hi ther.. i just booked with creative... getting alot for the price of $1850...

Hi Gals!

Came across this forum... Read all ur msgs. Wow, u gals are so helpful to each other. Well, my cousin's wedding was just over a week ago. Since the couple are in Melbourne, I was the one who helped source out all the necessary things for them. Wow! tat was tiring man! Not easy organising a wedding. I can imagine how stressful u gals can be... But i hope with this experience it'll be easier when i plan my wedding... All the best gals!

Hi Guys,


Where is everyone? The married brides are all gone. and the yet-to-be brides are clueless, still!

Anyways, I realised how lousy I am in planning weddings. Not that I have been married before, haha! Ok I am losing it.

I still have not decided on a venue, can you believe that? My wedding is on Feb 1 2009, I know it sounds darn far, but considering that I have not booked anything, it does not bode well.

No PG, no VG, no wedding shoot, nothing. I just can't decide on anything. I see something new, i change my mind again. And the budget is not even there, cos we are splitting all our savings into the "Our House" fund and the "Our wedding" fund.

Sigh. I am already tired just thinking about planning for the wedding. Weird.

 

[jayanthi]

Hi Bhav,

Don worry. Decide on your venue first and the rest of the things will fall in place.I agree that its very tiring. My wedding is in October and I feel very tired already.

But no matter how stressful and tiring it can be, Its fun. So enjoy every part of it. I am enjoying it. At the same time, can't wait for it to be over.

 

[gal0987]

Hi gals,

Relax deareys. I can imagine how stressful u are. I too was like that for the past 6 months. Well, all the fuss was over in jus 1 day. Now very bored...

One of my fren recommended mediawave wen i was planning for my cousin's wedding recep. If you want you can try them. I should say that they actually helped me arrange most of the things. Decor,dj,emcee,PG,VG and so on. That made my job much easier. My auntie, my cousin and everyone was very happy with the arrangement.

Their decor is more modern compared to those wedding service co had. Cos we went down to a few but we were not very impressed. They also helped us to plan the entire evening's program and made sure everything went according to plan. Although there was some hiccups on our side they helped to cover it up.

The event went very sucessful and the decor was very well done. The emcee and dj was excellent. All of us really enjoyed ourselves. We actually didn't have the heart to go back after tat also. Was really fun.

If u want, u can call them and check out. Their no is 90066414. We spent around $2500 for the decor,fresh flowers,emcee,dj,etc. If u want for less price also u can ask them. cos we took the higher package with fresh flowers and grand backdrop. Bhav, u r looking for venue also u can ask them. they might be able to help u. But i suggest that u at least target a rough budget that u wanna spend. it will be easier for u to make decisions.

Take care gals. Relax. Dun be stressed.

 

[angelic8]

I'm married but I still visit this site! Hehehe

Whatever help u gals need, juz ask okie...

Bhavani: beter settle the venue 1st...my sis juz secured her venue for her Feb wedding. Dun wait too long. After the venue is fixed, u can start planning on the food, deco, PG & VG etc etc...

 

[bhavani_babette]

What do you guys think abt Holiday Inn Park View hotel? It seems quite ok, but I have not heard anyone's reviews about them..

 

[kyldee]

Hi Raspberriz...

Saravanan Ayyavoo...

Always my first choice emcee. Leave your e-mail add and I'll mail you his contact details.

 

[reds]

Hey girls... I have some good contact for PG and VG.
PG: TheEdge Photography
The guy's name is ANdrew. He took pictures at my ROM and sis's wedding. Really captures moments very well

you can google his website.

VG: Mirage Pictures
Hired him for my sis's wedding. Real good and concise video edit.
http://www.miragewedding.com/

Both of them worked very well together. By the time we finished at my sis's in-law's place, it was already 2am. They were with us all the way, the smile on their faces never fading.

You can mention my husband's name... Selva. Should get a good price!

 

[reds]

At Mirage, look for Chun Beng

 

[sharmila]

Hi all,

I'm new in this forum so please help me to find a MUA who can do a good makeup for me.

If any of you have ananthi's contact number please forward it to me.

Thanks

Hi ladies, I am getting married sometime next year but I think its quite a challenge to find a good make- up artist who is good with dark complexion. Most of the time, it just looks cakey and i'd rather do my own make up than get someone to make me look ugly. HAHAHA

 

[weddingphobia]

Hey ladies!
Need help from the Been-There-Done-That Brides..
Me and HTB in a puzzlement over how much of booze to order for 25 tables on a saturday evening for our reception dinner and cocktail hour.
If we opt for freeflow of beer, it's gonna put a $20 per head hole in our pockets.
If we buy barrels, how much is enuf and where to buy?
How much of wine to buy?
What does it mean to buy wine on consignment basis? Anybody knows where to source for cheap good le vin?
How much of other spirits to buy?
Whiskey or Vodka or both?
I think it is gonna be a majority Indian crowd..
What a headache!

 

[sharmnaidu]

Hi there. M getting mattied in Dec this year. I am looking for Make up artist as well as someone to do the decor for my engagement. I would love to see some pics... anyone? Thanks!

[joshany]

Helloooo ... Just popping by . Good to see the thread going on . Happy Planning brides to beeess

 

[weddingphobia]

Bhav,
I'm planning on getting the Holiday Inn Park View's Ballroom for my 25-table dinner in April next year.
The wedding coordinator Vasanthi is so nice and accommodating. Out of all the hotels we've been scouting at, she's just a true professional at her job. I think, for me, the service counts more than the ambiance.
I think there's another thread that discusses the HIPV solely on the main forum board.
For us , in terms of the whole package, it's still a toss between HIPV and the Grand Hyatt. Good luck with your hunt and do keep us posted.
Kudos.

 

[reds]

No problem girls... The photos my cousin has are not close ups... so can't really see the make-up.

Raspberriez... If you know sara personally... We might know each other then. Are you from NUS?

 

[bhavani_babette]

Worried,

HIPV is still in my radar, but I have been scouting a few places. When I went to the wedding show, i was quite disturbed with the food, which was very unlike the positive comments that i had received. I dunno whether it was because it was free, but in any case, that is not how you attract potential business either. Vasanthi is a real gem,I agree with you, and she is real easy-going.

So far, I have been to a few hotels and this weekend i will be visiting The Legends. I will keep you guys posted. I have all the proposals from the various hotels, which I believe I can actually compile into a valuable book! But then again, the information will expire in a year. Sigh.... still mulling over house renovations at the moment...

 

[sphire80]

Worried
It was a sober crowd indeed. Relatives are non drinker. My friends are casual drinkers. My Hubs friends were die-hard drinkers. 3 tables consumed at least 1/3 of the drinks up.

[kyldee]

Gals, m having my photoshoot soon . Urgently looking for MUA. Pls reccommend if any.

Sphire- Can you pls pass me the contact information of Shanti... Heard lots of raving comments about her work.
