happy.gif

can i know how much u added for the florist to get the extra stands and the stair case deco outside the restaurant...?

I have signed up kenny for my wedding date in jan'2007. Took the $599 package..he is very open for ideas..a very good coordinator..hehe can start counting down for my big day already...hehehe



Hello, chuanze (chuanze)
I go and and see if i stil have their packages, then will email to you. Perhaps u want to give a ring to kenny, fix an appointment with him, he will go thru the packages & deco with you...it is really a very nice and cosy place for wedding... (esp the glass panels that can see the swimming pool, and that favourite coloured of mine - purple curtain..)
 
hazelle (hazelle),

hehe, i dun really like the wedding favours they offered, so i told kenny that i will be bringing in my own wedding favours...what u guys choosing for the favours...i think only have candle, chopstick and the soap soap thingy rite.....
personally, i think key chain, hehe....

by the way, how many barrel of beers u all got..? and anyone change the one nite stay at cor. kings hotel to other freebies..?
happy.gif
 
hi sky,


i changed from the wedding favour to one more 30litres barrel beer...

did u pay for the corkage charge, i tried so hard for kenny to waive off the charges, but he can't do so, but he gave me a special rate instead...
happy.gif


when u AD..? mine in Jan 2007
 
Hi vonz,

Same as you, i will b payin for it.. I don rem d rate he gave me.. i gav up my hotel stay n wedding favour 4 more beers.. actually don really noe if d guests can finish d beer anot leh.. oh ya. wat color is d set up? or there r sm tt we can choose? scared tt my EG is d same color as d rest.. u choose yr BS already?

my AD is 1st oct 06.. children's day!!
 
hehe,

me got 1 x 30litres barrel beer and 1 x 20litres barrel beer..i think should be enuff....usually, for 30 tables, it should be enuff..unless your group of guests are heavy drinkers...and as for wine, i think 3 cartons will do....hehe

last sunday went to see was kinda of different, cos i think shizuka (jingsg38) paid a bit more to have the extras flower stands along the aisle, it is very beautiful....as for the stage, i dun know if she has added to beautify the deco....what i know is that the backdrop is like "crystal theme" hehe...me also cant really explain the deco...

i dun think there is any theme for us to chose leh...also cant remember so much. i think the restaurant will be using more bright colours, like red / pink / golden for the deco..hehe....what is the colour of ur EG..?

me havent chose my bridal boutique..will go down this weekends to have a look...me shortlisted Bridal Concept @ bugis....u with which boutique..?

by the way, where are u getting the favours from..? and what u intend to get..? me looking at keychain...or magnet..hehe :-)
 
my hb say don nd to get favours coz cake will b enuff.. *sobsob* no budget..

i chose sweet pink for my EG.. but mayb gg to change.. hehe..

not sure where u stay but i find tt style bridal (tanjong katong complex) is gd.. they r v friendly, gowns r not bad too.. u can dropby to hav a look.. can mention my name, probably can hav a beta deal.

Hi shizuka,

Hope you had enjoyed your wedding with Pioneer spring thoroughly..Congrats too on the success of your wedding dinner!

For girls who have signed up, no worries.. you are sure to enjoy your time with Kenny and the rest.. we did and so did our guests! Kenny has grown to become like a friend man!

\b[Vonz,]
If you are staying near Toa Payoh Central, can go try out Universal Bridal too...had a superbly great time with them for the one and a half years we were with them in preparation for the wedding.... (can mention Teng and the staff are sure to remember).. cos even after the wedding, we still pop by quite often to visit them.

Main thing is, you must be very comfortable with the bridal studio cos they will be with you most of the time in the wedding preps... and I heard for many BS, service deteriorates once you sign on the dotted line... so visit a few first and compare before making the decision k.

\b[sky,]
Can try the following for cakes.

http://www.ecreative.com.sg for the cake.
http://www.cakeavenue.com/
http://www.cedeledepot.com/home/cake_wedding.asp
http://www.emicakes.com.sg
http://www.cakesinbloom.com (beautiful but very ex)

Price should range from $250 onwards for a 3-tiered real cake if I'm not wrong..

As for wines, can try www.winebos.com
They have promotions every now and then and the service given by Catherine is great too...
Prices are reasonable and most importantly, they provide wine in consignment (ie: you can return what you didn't finish). Call them up and clarify on details.....

For the set-up in Pioneer Spring, nearer your wedding day, Kenny will show you the various set-ups in his laptop (just tell him Teng said he would hehe) and some hard copy pics in the album they had..... Choose from there.. deco-wise, it varies in different seasons... and the tie-ups they have with their vendors... you need to discuss with Kenny about it. As for table-cloth, there's only a choice of full white or pink-white... the most beautiful thing about the place is their high ceilings and lightings....

A bit long-winded but certainly hope the above info is helpful?

Luv,
Teng

Hi teng,

Thanks for d info.. Some of d cakes r really nice.. Yr AD over? Think i hav to rechoose my EG already coz afraid tt it will clash w d color of d rest..
 
Hi sky,

Yes. Mine is over just last Dec05.
I had a superbly bright red evening gown.....
once in a lifetime... so gan3 gan3 chuan1 le....
Think normally, won't dare to wear such a colour....

Yup, some of them are really nice esp those from cakes-in-bloom but really very expensive... think it's because they come with themes
 
oh ya,
forgot to mention... their table cloth is not the normal sweet pink that we see.. it's kinda darker.. so won't clash much..

so perhaps it's better that you see which suits you more.... for me, pink is out too as it will make me look fleshy too.. (agree with vonz hehe...)
 
sky,

the files are too big... i don't have time to upload yet... perhaps when I finish uploading.. then email you.

Tried to upload some pics here but can't..
My wedding dinner was on 18Dec which is 1 week before christmas. That's why the deco looked a bit christmas-like..

no matter how red your MIL is wearing... don't think she's wearing full red bah?

For us, my FIL, MIL, mum and god mum were wearing red and black... and hubby was wearing a red shirt with his black tuxedo to match my gown.... so in fact, it was by coincidence that we seemed to have a red and black theme for all our clothes.....
 
hhmm.. i don noe leh.. was hoping to hav a bright color like shockin pink.. but i don like d shockin pink design.. wanted sm color tt pple can c me fr far.. hehe.. attention seeker..
 
haha...
that's very normal.. wedding is one-in-a-lifetime thingy.... who doesn't want to stand out?

not only that... you must be wearing something that at one look, pple know you are the bride liao... And that's even more impt in photos..

think i chose red because of these reasons plus, think the older folks will love the colour too keke...
 
Think it's about 3 weeks to a month...to get the inserts printed. I suggest you get them about 3 months to your AD then you can slowly slowly fill them with the names...

I requested it a bit earlier cos we had 60 over tables and needed some time to finish writing them..
 
wow.. i hav bout 50 tables. did u go ard toasting, taking photos?? so kenny will tell u wat to do rite? like when isit for toasting, when to 2nd march in, etc?
 
I wanted to forgo it initially but in the end decided not to cos my dinner is mostly for the relatives and elderly guests (I had a church ceremony with more youngsters the day before.. )

And it would be a bit disrespectful in a way though in modern society now, there are pple who think it's ok... anyway, we went ahead with it..

I had a coordinator (friend) to help keep track of the timings for each item and to liaise with the MC (friends again) etc...

My coordinator and helpers were simply superb! We finished the table-to-table photo-taking within about 35 minutes.. When we haven't started at around 9.30pm, the adults were getting kan cheong liao.. but in the end, we started at 9.45pm and ended around 10.20pm. My hubby and I were able to go outside to take extra pics with some friends and at the same time, prepare to send guests off.... can't describe here..... but the way you see my helpers move and coordinated from table to table... my guests were like "wow" too...

You can discuss with Kenny and get some suggestions on the timings.. then prepare a schedule for a coordinator (friend/relative) to adhere to... so that in case there's any last minute additions or changes, she is always at hand to liaise with the MCs or restaurant's staff for you..
 
tt's pretty fast.. then i muz hav at least 2 helpers to coordinate d tables liao.. but act i hope to eat sm of dishes on d day itself esp d prawns.. like d prawns v much.. now looking forward 4 d food tasting..
 
Hi teng,

yah, me also intend to get some of our friends to help us in the table to table photo shooting...or else it will be very messy...because ur guests wont't know when it is there turn to take the pics, haha....wow thumb up for your helpers leh...they are so superb in helping u leh.....

Hi ladies,

Just out of curiosity, is this place different from The Jewel Box which has been newly renovated? It used to be the old Mount Faber??? I am popping in to look for more venue ideas for a coporate function and saw this thread. Am a little confused 'cos I just went for a site visit to Jewel Box some days ago (the place looks fantastic BTW) and was wondering it this is the same thing??? Anyone?
 
Hi Sky,

Oh ok ok thanks. Yes, The Jewel Box is all the way at the top of Mount Faber, used to be called "Cable Car Station". They went thru some major revamp last year.

The one you guys are talking about, how is the place like? Am looking to host a corporate function for about 60 - 75 pax... Thanks!
 
Hi Buffy,

Personally i find the place quite nice.. but sm pple may find it ulu. Nearest mrt is tiong bahru mrt. but u might hear pple bowling coz there a bowling centre in safra itself. like d ambience.. prob u can dropby to hav a look and speak to d kenny (manager).. v limited description.. sorry..
 
Hi ladies,

Thanks! Will check it out. I have just confirmed my event at The Glass Bar le, so ai yah, missed your message by a couple of hours. :p The Glass Bar is one of the latest new rooms to The Jewel Box. Floor to ceiling window panels which overlooks the harbur and lush greenery. I saw the Ballroom, same thing as well, very chic. If you guys wanna check it out, here's the addy - www.mountfaber.com.sg and www.altivo.com.sg. My event is the last Friday of this month. If experience is good, will share feedback with you lah! Thanks for the link! :o)
 
Hi Vonz,

I'm looking into Pioneer Spring as an option for our wedding. Can share some of your pics for ref too? U can e-mail to [email protected]

BTW your wedding package sounds very worth the $$. Which BS did you sign up?
 


Hi....Gillian Yow (gillian)
