I haven't finalise the menu cos some dishes clashes (mango appeared in 3 dishes haha) so will confirmed nearer to the date.

Will upload some picture once its ready

Suggestion: take the chilli crab during food tasting anyway the rest like ee fu noodles or fried rice is quite standard (always eat these during other wedding dinners). So at least you trie it b4

Hi Cheryl C,

Thanks for sharing. When you mentioned that the food serving is small, do you mean to say that there is no chance for second helping if the guest wants to? I understand the waiter/waitress will portion out the food and serve it individually to each guest, but does that mean that the guest only get to eat that particular portion and nothing more?

I remember seeing one dish on the picture, prawn on a skewer..i understand from the coordinator that the guest will only get to eat that 1 prawn for that dish...it got me worried abit

Do let me know yeah! I don't want to pay so much and have guests complaining that food is not enough

Thanks

From what I understand, the waitress will portion out the food and yes there won't be any second portion but as there are 9 dishes so the guests should be fine.

Prawns on skewers?? Didn't choose that, I had the steamed prawns in herbs and it was excellent. There were 2 prawns per guests and the prawns are big.

Here's the few pictures of the dishes you requested

Hi cheryl c,

Thanks for sharing. For the prawn in herbs, are the prawns dishelled? Also, what is the name of the dish -3rd picture that you posted?

Do you mind telling us the final menu list that you have chosen? I can PM you if you want.

Thanks

 

[xinyi_reiko]

cheryl, me ah... I only settled the major stuffs like BS, PG & VG.

 

[nehoc]

So for the brides who interested (looking at the real decor), can drop by and take a look. Entry FOC

 

[anneanne]

hi waxie! i juz paid my deposit last sunday too! hehee so when is ur wedding date?

I signed up for the wedding show too but not sure if there are seats for me. :/

 

[xinyi_reiko]

Congrates waxie24, when is your big day?

 

[applepiez]

Hi all!

I'm getting so excited to be an Oriental btb.. signed the confirmation last Saturday, and received the invitation card for the wedding show today. Anyone else attending the wedding show?

 

[email1706]

any idea what are the wedding perks if confirm booking on the wedding show?

 

[xinyi_reiko]

Hi Jacqueline, I just faxed over my application. hopefully, they will send invitation to me. =)

 

[waxie24]

my wedding day is 13 sept 08

my co-ordinator is mark.

 

[waxie24]

xinyi_reiko

dun worry.. oriental did reserve some seating for oriental btb, jus in case they wan to attend.

btw.. from today onwards its Mandarin Oriental, Singapore.

 

[xinyi_reiko]

Hey waxie24, my coordinator is also Mark.

I hope that I am not too late.

Previously, I wanted to sign up for the show. I actually called up and enquire about it. The lady said that they will select the list of ppl to come for the wedding show. So abit half-hearted. Thinking they sure won't pick couples that already sign up with Oriental.

 

[waxie24]

cos mark was telling me to drop by to look at the themes on 7th. he mentioned that although the show is full, they did reserved some seats for those oriental brides who are interested.

hope u get the seats.

i'm not going, cos i have signed BS. no point for me to attend.

you paid ur deposit upon confirmation?

 

[xinyi_reiko]

I also signed up my BS liaoz. But just wanna to go and try their food and look at all the themes.

Yap, I have paid the deposit.

[email1706]

anyone manage to get the corkage for wine & hard liquor waive off??

 

[nehoc]

HI stevis,
Thought this was a basic package??

 

[waxie24]

hi stevis,

the corkage waiver was in my package.
i didnt ask for it, was included automatically.

i having 2 events (lunch n dinner)on seperate days, both corkage waived.
in fact, i didnt ask for more (except for parking). i took wat i was given in the contract n signed. will be paying deposit next week.

 

[nehoc]

Waxie,
How many % you got for Carpark complementary?

 

[waxie24]

nehoc

i got 20% each.
ask mark to give me more. then he said 2 pieces more..

i also didnt argue la. most guest wont be driving cos my mum wanna charter bus to ferry them.

 

[nehoc]

Waxie,
Not a bad idea so where should it be the pick up point? Thanks

 

[xinyi_reiko]

Thanks Jacqueline, for sharing.

Any idea how longs does they take in inform us that we are invited for the show?

 

[waxie24]

You can arrange the no. of pick up points with the bus people. you can get the bus service from your co-ordinator, then u arrange urself

1st pickup point can be your blk carpark, then to nearest mrt, then to the hotel. But guests have to be on time, else they miss the "shuttle service"

my cousin did that for her wedding.. most of her guests arrive and leave, at the same time.. haha.. great for family, neighbours and friends living nearby.

 

[nehoc]

Waxie,
I think so far Oriental still quite accessible unless you are taking about hotels like Traders, Sheraton....

 

[xinyi_reiko]

Waxie, how much are you paying for what bus charter? I thinking of having it also, because my in-laws side dont drive and have around 10 ppl. It will be good if I charter a bus to bring them down. Somemore they are VIPs, not nice if they take mrt/bus down.

 

[waxie24]

price wise i'm not sure, i havent call n ask cos my wedding next yr.. haha..
but i think the price shld be ok, bcos normally if my mum n neighbours ard 10, go holiday together, they will charter a bus to drive them to n fro. they say cheaper than taking cab.

i can ask my mum for contact if u all need.

 

[applepiez]

Xinyi,
