Novotel Clarke Quay

[nico_2k]

Thank Vanilla,

read all the post...seem like quite difficult to get any additional perks.

 

[corinnelim]

Hi Vanilla,
More or less confirm max no. of tables will be 30. Ya I also cannot decide which theme to choose. Dunno if can ask them to mix?

 

[pannie]

Hi Tweety.
That's why sometimes I felt so insecured that I am so afraid of getting married. Hai...

Corinne, everyone here very nice & warm one. That's why I also very happy when I can officially announced that I am a NCQ bride to be. Hehe!!

Hi Nicole.
It's true that it's rather tough to squeeze much thing out of them. Well... just give your best shot. Squeeze them as dry as you can. Hehe!!

 

[crayongal]

heh.. i tink our ncq thread is moving very fast now.. hee

anyhows.. hey Ann, great to noe u got yr date confirmed le!! hehe.... yeps... we brides are definitely more stressed den our FHs ya.. the guys.. haiyo...

erms.. btw gals.. i didn't noe we would get the floor plan so late (as in only abt 2 wks b4 the AD?) i hope to get it earlier.. so dat planning is easier and not so last min also..
and erms.. hee.. i personally feel the crystal theme is abit too plain.. so, flowers would be more outstanding .. ? we can choose e color of the flowers rite ? correct me if im wrong pls..

 

[not_firmed]

Nicole.. the perks that are given are quite standard from NCQ..so u must know what u really want, maybe those that u give uo can change to the one u like...

Corinne... My guest list in a mess now.. hahahaha... I think when the date get nearer then can decide... I saw crystal theme before.. elegant look.. as mentioned, abit plain.. haven seen the flower theme though...

Ann.. don worry. It's normal..

Stef.. if u really need the floor plan, u can request from Jamie.. but then u need to know how many tables that u have, then it'll give u a better arrangement..

 

[lintlk]

Hi

Anyone got recommendation for photographer to cover the photographing on AD and at the dinner?

And what's his charges?

Tks.

 

[peridotitude]

Hi Tweety,

[pannie]

Hi Stef.
Yup.. was telling everyone I am happy to get it confirmed.

Hi Tweety.
Sometime I wonder did I gain myself a son or a partner through marriage. Maybe I gain a son cum partner. Haha!!

Hi Nicole.
You are welcome. Do let us know what you had managed to squeeze from them. Then maybe I can go squeeze them again before signing on the dotted line of the contract next Tuesday. Hehe!!

 

[not_firmed]

Hi peri... Not much to be done now.. guest need to wait till the date get nearer.. worry abt the guest list...

 

[samanlyt]

Hi gals,

Wau this thread move so fast ah..had difficulty keeping up!

Hi corinne

Hi Tweety!

My list oso sama sama like you, all in a mess. I see the names I headache. Din noe it will be soooo difficult. Got issues such as this person A dun want sit with person B etc.. *sweat*

Hi perioditude

Since u had the experience, then can act as advisor to all NCQ brides-to-be loh!

 

[raycia]

Hi Vanilla,

We can have both crystal and flowers set up ah....Then that is better....

Thanks

Did you notice that their stage is veri plain...I told Huiling already she say she will ask their florist to see what they can do to it...But since now she haven't reply me on that yet....

 

[not_firmed]

Vanilla.. can combined??? wonder if it will look good or not leh...

I'm having big problem in guest list... initially my company was small.. reserved 1 table for them..now change management, the stuff increased alot... I don hv enough tables now... faint...

 

[peridotitude]

Hi Vanilla,

Me no advisor lah... Ambush also did answer to a lot of my doubts for the past few weeks before my wedding. Think its pay back time! hehehe.. I believe as long as Ambush n I or any of the ex NCQ brides can help, we will try our best. =)

 

[corinnelim]

Hi Tweety,
My guest list is also messy right now. Hope will ge more organised soon.

Hi Vanilla,
I am taking Phoenix Ballroom with thirty plus two reserved tables.

Dear all,
I also love the layout and the atmosphere of the ballroom. If we want to mix crystals and flowers, how to go about mixing?

 

[pannie]

Hey gals... everytime i read thru the messages, I realise that I have alot of Questions to ask Huiling. OMG!!

By the way, did I mention I dislike the centrepiece of the guest tables? Look very ugly in the photo which Huiling showed me. Is it really that ugly?

 

[samanlyt]

Hi Tweety/Raycia/Corinne

I just trying my luck when I tried to ask for both themes.

But hor, I oso dunno how to mix & match actually. My no. of guests seems to increase day by day, actually not mine la, it's hubby's guests.

Hi peridotitude,

Yay! I think the brides to be here, will greatly appreciate urs & ambush help for sure!

Ermmm to start the ball rolling, how about helping me to plan all guest lists & table? Kidding la... Oh how i hate planning!!!! ARghhhh!

 

[not_firmed]

[pannie]

Morning Tweety.

Not too sure which theme. It's actually an S-shaped like centrepiece which holds two candles or something like that. Super "O biang".

Morning Yesfeb29.
He's the same age as me but older by about a mth than me. He pampers me alot (except when he whines), but he also super kiddo sometimes. The first thing he say he wanna buy for our new house is X Box 360 console or PS 3. He only cares about his toys. Haha!!

 

[beldry]

hey peri..

haha.. nah.. not at all.. didn't really help much too.. but happy for you girl! =) hope to see ur lovely pics soon too!

hey vanilla and tweety..

haha.. i know.. guest list is the most tedious bit.. but everything will turn out fine.. i was also quite upset with my dad initially coz he refused to have the rsvp done and give us the names of his relatives who were coming.. so was a bit challenging for this part.. but in the end things worked out too.. must thank my friends too.. as long as you have done the necessary planning and arrangement, ur friends will do an amazing job come the big day.. =p

hey stef..

mine is the crystal theme.. hmm.. im not sure if the two themes can match.. this i think gotta check with the coordinator..

hehe yah.. yesfeb29..walk slowly.. enjoy the moment.. smile and make eye contact with ur friends during the march-in.. it's ur special day! the aisle is all urs..=)

next up will be vanilla's big day! =)

 

[peridotitude]

Hi gals,

I'm supposed to use the mixed theme too. Flowers for the cocktail area-including the recept tab, crystals for the aisle n flower for the VIPs. Everything were in plc except that they put the big ugly crystal trees as my VIPs' centre piece loh. But luckily they removed them at the second course n left them on the stage as deco. Not too bad as stage decos, certainly not as a centre piece. As for the rest of the tabs, its the standard S candle light holder as centrepiece. I thought its not too bad looking leh. hehehe...

Hey Bliss,

Thanks, thanks... =)

Hi Stef,

I used TripleA food & catering service. U can look for Angela. Their food nice, price very reasonable n excellent svc. I had 30 paxs at my plc n only 15 paxs at my hb's plc, but they were ok with that. Highly recommended!
Check them out!

[~bliss~]

*waves* to tweety! Sure will drop by more often.. =)

Hey peri..

Have u any pictures of the decor to share with us? =)

 

[peridotitude]

Hi bliss,

Mine was the Cinnamon ballroom n my pics are not ready yet. But I have attached some pics of the Phoenix Ballroom taken by a friend awhile ago.=)

 

[pannie]

My fiance most likely need to fly to Phillipines on next Monday. Got to delay the signing of contract again. So looking forward to signing and paying for the deposit on Tuesday. So upset.

 

[~bliss~]

Thanks Peri for sharing the pics... hmm.. that shld be the crystal theme...? the"S" ornament on the tables looks funny ya? My personal view... LOL

 

[pooh83]

Cool peri ! Nice shots ! However, where is that flower in the first place located at? It looks quite tall ....

 

[crayongal]

hey..
thanks tweety..bliss and peri.. for all yr recommendations for caterer. sure to chk them out. heh.. my church recept..shld hv also abt 350 guests or so..dats why i hope to get good caterer for the food . heh..

hmm... peri, yr mixed theme sounds not bad.. but eh.. u say crystal deco as centrepiece not so nice ya ? hmm.. okie. shall take note of that. =)
thanks gals..

 

[jiahui]

The centrepiece for VIP table seems mismatch to me.
Btw, do they provide red carpet for march in?
The second picture from left shows that there's no red carpet.

 

[samanlyt]

Hi ambush

Dun say aldy la...*stress* Only got around 2 mths more only, and I still lazing around lei!!

Invites still sitting at printer, no time to collect, guest list can 'forget it' temporarily & songs only choose 3 songs, need another one for vide highlight. Really nuaaaaa....LOL I think I'm reali the laziest bride, and everything oso last min one!!

Hi Ann

Dont be upset la, at least u 'chop' the date u wanted already. Maybe if you r really worried, then perhaps u can go down and make the deposit 1st, and get Huiling/Jamie to mail you the original copies, signed, then mail it back to them again. Tat's wat me n hubby did the other time. Smile la...

Hi jiahui

Now u have mentioned the carpet...hmmm...ya hor, I wonder got red carpet mah. Cant recall eh.

 

[samanlyt]

Ooops sorie la, its *video highlight* (spelling error) or express edit maybe?

 

[pannie]

Hi Vanilla.
Thanks for the console. But my fiance very mah fun one. He likes to do such thing together except coordination work. Or else he won't be able to say that "at least I went together to do the things with you" when I complain that he's the laziest husband ever around. Now he's going to fly off on Sunday instead cause they can't get an air ticket on Monday for him to fly over. We actually arranged with the seller of our love nest to go over to their place to see decide on what to keep and what not to keep for the furniture in the house on Sunday. But now also have to change liao. Marriage preparation course also like that. Hai.. sorry for all the complaining I am doing now. Just a little bit piss that he's so filled with activities that things got to be change again & again.

Hi Ladies.
Out of curiosity, have the hotel been able to do up other themes for you if you decide that you don't want flower or crystal theme?

 

[~bliss~]

Hey Ann!

I think i only heard crystal theme or flower theme from jamie when i book my dates with them.
At that time i was also like.. aiyo, like very limited lidat.. cos i actually find the stage pretty plain when i see a wedding setup that time.. thats the only thing i complain about.. keke... However, i heard u can do own arrangement for someone outside to decor the place for u.. of cos.. need to pay lor.. which is not worthwhile la i feel... hehe...

 

[pannie]

Hi Bliss.

That's what I thought so too.. the stage is indeed very plain. But when we pay, we are also paying for the deco too. So if can get them to do the deco to the theme we wanted, maybe we can do a top up instead of paying for the full sum when engaging somebody from outside to do it.

 

[rine13]

Hi All BTB

Wow!! it seems like the thread is moving very very fast and glad to see many gd reviews from the pervious brides. Im left with 3 mths for the preparation..will share with u guys again! Cheers for all NCQ BTB!!

 

[pannie]

Hi Peri.

Will the "S" shaped centrepiece be removed when they are serving the 1st dish or remain on the table thruout the dinner itself?

 

[samanlyt]

Hi Ann

It's a little hard to make certain plans/decisions esp when ur HTB is often travelling. For eg, the meeting-up with the seller of the flat. Have to tweak the plans a bit lor, cos this is something rather imporatant to the both of u, but since it's his job requirement to travel, so bobian la. I believe the seller will understand. Dun worie k? I'm sure things would work out just fine.

 

[pannie]

Hi Vanilla.

Thanks for your consolation. Me feeling better le. He bought a big cute tortise soft toy for me. I think I am an easy lady to coax. Just buy a soft toy for me and "Vou la".. I'm fine liao. Haha!!

 

[eemoo]

Hi Vanilla,

I can join you in the "most laziest bride" list...LOL...

I also haven't done anything yet...haven't even find any AD PG...and my fh also like me, not kan-cheong at all..

our parents and close friends more kan-cheong than us I think...cos they keep asking us "you done this liao" "you done that liao anot"..aiyooo...

 

[samanlyt]

Hi Ann

How's things? Hope all things are ok btwen u & FH.

Hi eemoo

Welcome to the NCQ thread! And of cos, u r most welcome to join my 'laziest clan'. LOL

Urs in Nov, still got a little bit more time than I do. We laze and 'qiong' together ok? Though I know I will most likely to be nua...

Hi Gals

Wondering who can share her table plan for the Phoenix ballroom? I still have yet to receive mine from Jamie. I seriously need that. My dad is making a big fuss over the tables issue!! Help!!

 

[corinnelim]

Hi vanilla,

I have the plan but its meant for 30 plus 2 reserved table. If u want can give me ur email add.

 

[koko_coco]

[samanlyt]
