Hi Jess - the other time I found out the cost of changing the desserts are like ranges between $8 - $12 for mango pomelo and yam paste per table. Not sure if the charges varies for the no. of tables reserved...cos mine is above 30 tables and a weekday though... or perhaps the costs maybe higher due to the increase in GST as well???
While sometimes is difficult to get them give more disc., etc..they quite firm in a way
It was written in the agreement when is the 2nd instalment due, prob u cld refer to it & it was me who called up them to find out if they still wanna my 2nd instalment...they seems not chasing hard on schedules so we have to depend on ourselves to keep a lookout

Hi Jess, can i ask wat u mean by 2nd instalment ar? Im considering Noble House too..Its not like hotels where we can pay up when we check out rite?
Hi cheeky_chick,
we can separate our payments into 3 instalments at NB.
1st is the deposit to block ur booking
2nd instalment abt 3 mths before AD
then settle the rest on AD itself.. after dinner or check out.
actually this arrangement works for me & my FH... not so taxing

Hi Movenpick,
You considering NB too?
Their wedding favours include chocolates or postage stamps (set of 4 with two stamps for local postage and two stamps with your pic). They need at least 2 months for printing of the stamps tho.
Jess, out of curiosity, how many invitation cards are they going to print for you? I am getting a bit concerned cos I need many cards for my colleagues

hi movenpick,
yen explained the favors liao..
i'm neither getting free beer or free stay coz my package is not the their prestige or best package..
i found them hard to negotiate.. sigh..
I chose NB coz of their great food & overall gd price.. & intimate environment
but their perks are almost non-existence! hehe..
Hi yen,
me not taking invites from NB.
exchange it for pre-diner cocktail as i'm combining my church wedding invite wif dinner invite into 1 invitation.
Way nicer than their invites. hehe..

Jess,
You managed to exchange the invitation cards for pre-dinner cocktail? That is much better bargain than what they offer me - two bottles of wine. I really do not like their cards but my fiance and I have decided not to spend $ on something which people will not keep. sigh...

thanks Jess & Yen for sharing ! =)
(Re: Yen) Yes, we are considering NB becos we like the ambience, food and location as well. =) Well, we understand there is trade off like dun have free flow of beer, a nite stay (for non-Prestige package), etc...
Instead of today, we went yesterday to have a look at their wedding banquet as well as to discuss with them abt the package..we must admit they are a quite firm in their stand,.seem hard to get "freebies" from them...hahaha...for every change like from Soon Hock to Garoupa..prepare to spend more $$..
We have quite a large number of tables abt 30+ so, among the Tung Lok (except Fullerton..no $$$), this fit some of our requirements
the personalized stamp luk cute!! even the choco casing luk exquisite, in a plastic transparent casing..unlike those in a cardboard box...=)
However we realized they dun offer ang pao box, what about you, where to source for ang pao box? DIY?
"yi feng qian, yi feng huo"..(one dollar worth for equivalent amount of goods)..hehe..want cheap and good...so no this and that...we think it is more about the beer and wine that we have to think and factor into the overall cost..
As for one nite stay, have to book nearby hotel lor =)

Hi yen,
how many tables u have & which package u took?
is it weekends?
i tink the exchange oso differs wif the no. of tables & package u book rite?
so u took their invites in the end?
ya.. no point printing out of ur own pocket..
For me, I still got 2 print invites 4 my church ceremony guests so it makes more economic sense 2 print everything together & take the cocktail.
Hi movenpick,
so have u signed up yet?
Me got a DIY angpao box
never heard hotels give that leh.. hehe..
usually guests siging book will be given, rite?
noblehouse one old sch.. haha.. me not using..
usin my BS one. hehe..

(Re: Jess) We just tentatively reserved a date but yet to sign on the dotted line. Sorri but am blur here, is it the normal thing to go down and look at their drafted contract and take home and read and repeat it several times before signing on the dotted line? =P How long is the duration, from the time you negotiate with them till the day you sign the contract?
Tot is the typical norm for hotels to provide ang pow box one leh? Yes, signing book will be provided but din see NH version.BS provide signing book one leh har? Mine don't seem to have leh?

movenpick, i signed on the spot.
i didnt know can take home the contract or to reserved a date before signing.
anyway, we do not wan to waste time and transportation to go back again and again.
But it is important to read the contract carefully.
i am not sure about the ang pow box and the guest book. Normally bridal shop provide guest book. U can call ur bridal shop and ask ba.

(Re:Jess & Mrs C)Thanks to both for your response.=)How many wine to cater for your wedding? Are you taking up the wine offer from NH or you bring your own wine?
(Re: Jess) Could you share what is the differences in perks compared to getting it in wedding fair and non-wedding fair period? Thanks =)
Btw, when will the Ghost Festival starts and ends in 2008? anyone any clue?

Hi Jess...I saw your earlier msg about your no. of tables 35 + 2 reserve...and you managed to get them to allow your wedding event to be held without open to public??? How do you manage to negotiate this with them? My no. of tables are the same as you but still they could not reserve the whole function hall for me even though my AD is on a weekday.
Hi Mrs C,
nah.. it's okie.. we're all here to share info ah!!
Hi movenpick,
generally, at wedding shows, restuarants & hotels have like tie up wif certain credit card companies, or jus to drum up marketing, will offer perks here & there.
But for NB, they gave me 10 persons food tasting free from non weddings show package of 5 persons free.
Then 1 free table for every confirmed 15 tables.
That's all.. so nothing fantastic oso.. haha..
Hi greece,
I feel sometimes they can talk but never gurantee wan..
i guess for me they could jus say to appease me..
i rem asking how they can open up to the public when their place already so small..
Now u ask me that, I better call either Joyce or Veronica to make them commit to this..
if not, i'll be super infruiated..

(Re: Jess) Thanks, that works out to 3 free tables for you..=) at least got some savings..haha..
Yesterday, we went down again =P to conclude our negiotations and signed the contract..we tried our best to negiotate but unsuccessful..but ok lar, becos we can't wait to another wedding fair (dunno when it comes for NH) and even so, we are taking the chance not have a desired date..and the price may subject to change according to the manager...becos they have not change their prices for approx 1-2 yrs + liao..and esp with the extension lease for another 2 years...
We dun think they will stop other customers from coming, unless you manage to book the whole place , 55 tables..*grasp*..wat they confirm us is that there will be only one couple having wedding on the same day.

Jess:
Sorry for late reply. I book their midrange package, only 20 tables, weekday. Maybe that is why we did not have the bargaining power. haha..
We checked with Focal-Ad again and figured that the cards will cost us another $250. It is not worth it - would rather spend the $ on other things.

Jess, My understanding is that if you book large number of tables, they will close the main section to public. However, they may still accept guests in the side rooms (to the left when you face the stage standing at the front door) and at the back (separate entrance).
Cos I book only 20 tables, they will only give us the central area - separated from the rest of the dining area by wooden blinds - we have even less privacy but my hubby and I are ok with that.
Did Veronica give you the floor plan? Maybe you can get a rough idea of the table layout.

Jess,
Your big day is two months away - don't get so worked up over this cos to change the location will be rather late and too expensive. But hearing from many others, the food at NH is good.
Concentrate on the good things so that you are the happy and radiant bride on that day.

Yup Jess...not to be too upset cos most of us here faced the same prob @ NH...well, I rem the other time I went to Spring Court restaurant at Chinatown, there's a wedding couple having their banquet at the 1st level and they only occupied about half to a qtr section of the hall and the rest are public having their dinner but the couple are still enjoying themselves...and ours aren't that bad cos we have at least having the main hall and still enjoy some privacy
(Re:Jess) understand how you feel..for us, we did observe the ground situation when we went down the 1st time to NH. For the couple, they occupied the main hall and the left side tables and as mentioned by some, the right side are not only shielded by blinds but they are in the inner room, hence they wouldn't able to see anything much.And since you have 2 mths more to go, just be a happy bride ba....there is no perfect wedding and have to pay much more for more "privacy" =)
(Re: Jess) you are not alone, we did even write to Veronica, but she didn't response...and when we met up with her, we were put on hold for more than 1/2 hrs..however, we understand she is quite busy so we didn't take to heart. After conversing with her, we found she is quite a nice lady and capable in her work, proactive person. So dun think she deliberately ignore you ba..
hi yen, movenpick & greece,
thanks for your kind words..
called NB today to confirm..
ya.. like wat u gals said abt closing up certain areas, it's true.
Public can still come unless i book all 58 tables.
I'm upset more coz of their flippant attitude.
I got to chase them. Like until now, eventho' i asked them, they still hasn't confirm they got my photos for the wedding favours printing.. ah..
I noe it's a small thing, but woudl appreciate at least a respond.
started wif their salesperson at the bridal fair where we signed up.
Bt i must admit Joyce, one of their staff there is their saving grace. She's helpful.
My parents are so sweet.. they say they can help me pay like 10 tables more.
But no lah.. never want them or anybody else to pay the extra for that. waste $ for nothing..

Jess:
Think Veronica is very busy. From our experience, NH usually takes a few days to return our calls. And it is usually one of the other staff who returns the calls/emails.
58 tables is 20 more than your current. Must make sure you can fill them up or the tables will be wasted.
