Dear ladies,
i just emailed novotel to ask about food tasting, and Huiling replied that i need to give them the menu list of 8 dishes to her, but she never ask which package i intend to take. Ladies who had already went for food tasting, did you inform which package you are choosing before the food tasting? Thanks.

Need some help here, went to meet huiling to view the ballrooms last evening.
But I felt that huiling is not very flexible to the package, Most of the thing i requested her answer is no,cant,cannot....Is it i expect too much from them? If cannnot, at least give me an explaination or soultion, but she didnt and she is talking about the menu & package item very fast. Dont really seem to care if we are listening or not.
That point of time I felt that why should I go all the way down to the hotel to discuss about the package when the coordinator just stick to most of the package item
Is it only me who get this kind of treatment or am I expecting too much?
As I really like the venue and reasonble price
I like to check if any of you have other coordinator contacts or email who can provide more better service?
PS: She didnt even bother to give me a complimentary parking ticket last night!

Chervonne, I dealed with jamie when I was negotiating for the extra perks.
Other than giving us more invites and parking coupons, I din manage to 'squeeze' other perks from them. According to Jamie, the package is already very attractive and they cannot afford to throw in any more than what they had already stated in their package.
At tat time, given the price we are paying, I tot the perks are quite reasonable ... so we just signed on the dotted line without much second tots.

Hi Wei Ting, If u have read this thread previously... many were mentioning that Novotel is very strict on their package. Regardless what, unless promised during their show during any bridal fairs, they wont give any special treatments except for additional car park coupons, cards.
It is not only Huiling but the whole of their staff is the same. I went down twice, the very first time is someone by the name of Linda attended to me, she seems quite heck care also. But the second time Huiling is ok, and i sign the contract quite happily.
Btw... she wont give complimentary parking ticket one..

gals..at most you can get is more parking coupons and cards...
however most of their stuffs are fixed since theirs is already pretty competitively priced.
jamie offered us complimentary carpark coupons when we went down to look for her automically. however that was like in 06 and 07. i am not sure if the hotel is getting stricter on the carpark coupons now..
overall, we have a wonderful positive customer rs with jamie. we would highly recommended her anytime..

wow... Girls, you are already very well prepared. relax. =)
My wedding is in May. I havent get ready my photo montage, wedding shoes, accessories, wrist corsage. Even all my guo dai li stuff not prepared yet. And my invitation list is not firmed up yet.
Btw, the new wedding card firm is T.dragon. I will get my wedding card next week. Remember to check whether the map will be printed during the card selection. I forgot abt it during the card selection. Then i called them up a few days later, they told me they will provide a seperate insert of the map. 2 piece of inserts- map and the invitation. i dont really like that idea. But they told me because of the pattern of my card, the map cant be printed on the same insert of the invitation.
Does anybody has a list of item that has to be done before wedding? Can send to me? [email protected]

Hi suzgal...
Sorry I was a cinnamon room bride...not too sure if the quote is the same...maybe someone from phoenix can share more with you??
Hi michelle..
No la you not KS...its natural instinct to try to prepare a lot more in advance...but its oso true that too early oso dunno wat to do..hehe..the first few things we can oni do is to choose gowns...go for fittings...prepare for photoshoot..choose PS photos...only when it comes really near like the last two months then you will be very busy with GUO DA LI stuff...montage...AD schedule...guests list...table planning...blah blah...so now try to relax first!!
About groom's shirt...my hubby got a white one from Robinsons. Usually they have more brands to choose from I think...

Mmmm, maybe can check with them if they sell in mugs instead...???!!!
I will be having about 48 - 50 tables. It costs me about $230 for printing 70% of the insert. You can choose to print on insert or on the card.

Hi all BTB,
Just to check, do most of you opt for the free flow or 1 wine bottle per table under the banquet? Me kinda in dilemna so need your advice. The hotel charges 23++ for per bottle..
Is it true that Novotel will not waive off the cockage fees for wine? cos most of the hotel seems to waive off this charges.

Hi Moon,
I just sent you the checklist!
Well, for my banquet, we opted one wine per table plus 1 barrel beer. In the end the co-ordinator said our beer ran out and asked us to open another barrel. Of course we said ok right..can't possibly tell the guests no beer liao before the dinner ends...but we din't get to verify the actual consumption...just took their words for it...it was something that bugged us a bit after that...
For the wine most probably the corkage will not be waived...you can try asking but seems like all along they are quite firm about their perks leh...
Hi michelle...
About the beer...we opened one more barrel...and ended up with 4 jugs sent to our suite late at night...we drank half a jug and the rest was left there till checkout...thinking back now...i should have used it as hair treatment that night...haha...wat a waste...

Hi Moon,
I also opt for 1 bot wine per cfm table and 1 barrel of beer. We will also be bringing in our own hard liquor for the "elders"... I tried asking to reduce the cockage charge but was not successful...I'm not a good bargainer i suppose...hahaha
Hi Cheekybee,
U should have use the leftover beer to soak in the bathtub...Imagine, beer bath.... Hahaha...
