Hi Gals,
Yup..I'm sure like both Ice and myself all of you will love it when you have your wedding at IC. We had friends telling us they loved our wedding and it was one of the best they attended in terms of food and ambience.
Charlene: I don't have the pics of the whole ballroom taken on the night of my wedding itself, but I've sent photos of IC ballroom set-up in Opulent Desire to another forummer before. My theme was Opulent Desire. The theme made the whole ballroom looked darker but it really gave a grandeur feel to it. We just ask the banquet manager to turn up the lights more so our photos won't be affected. There were no protests about the black theme from the elders at all. You can PM me for the pics if you like.
Germaine: Ice has posted the bridal suite pics liao..am sure you gals will love the suite too. It's so spacious. We didn't get any extra perks from IC. Requested for helpers room from 2-6pm but it was unavailable on our wedding day.
As for carpark coupons, you'll need to purchase extra at $3 per coupon as that is under Parco Bugis Junction and not IC as told to me by Jane. We did not purchase in the end as it was too ex so we gave out on a first-come-first-serve basis after setting aside for our relatives, and it was still not enough for some of our friends in the end and we had 35 tables.
Melody: Actually the aisle is not that long. Both the songs for my 1st & 2nd march-in was 3 min plus long and it was more than enough for the march-in. Once the door opens and you see all your friends and relatives cheering for you, you'll forget all the nervousness and just enjoy yourself.
Oh another thing to add is that there'll be 2 banquet staff helping you with your march-in. We had 2 female banquet staff helping us to open the door for us to march-in. They were nice, chatting with us while we were waiting for the montage to finish playing and calming us, they even help to arrange my train neatly before they opened the door. They even gave me the tip of kicking lightly while I march-in so my gown won't get in the way. Jane also stayed with us till our first march-in and also helped me arrange my gown. Really good service that I'm very pleased with.
For me, I only provided the 1st and 2nd march-in songs. For 1st dish presentation, I used a song from IC's collection. They've about 6-7 for us to choose from. Alternatively, you can provide your own 1st dish song.
For champagne pouring, as it is after 2nd march-in, IC just continued to play my 2nd march-in song. They'll loop the song so it continues playing for the champagne pouring immediately after our 2nd march-in. Jane had asked me if I would like to continue playing the song for the champagne pouring and I agreed since the song is already playing. Not sure if you can provide another song for champagne pouring since they'll take time to change the disc but I thought it'll be nicer if the song just continued playing. I don't think my song even played a 2nd time from march-in to champagne pouring.
Bubbles: Hihi! Married life's ok. Slowly accomodating to the change in lifestyle. Am staying with in-laws now while we wait for our flat to be ready. Had missed home and family initially and cried but now ok cos we went for our HM almost immediately after wedding.
We went for a 9 day trip to Japan and just got back this Thur early morn. Will post some pics on my multiply when I've the time, but you already saw some of my wedding pics there.
Where are you going for your HM? Is it immediately after your wedding too?
