hello,
Erm..did not bargain anything from them. You got the 688 package? They said that white covers are rented from 3rd party, so they cannot put it in. But if you forgo the beer, they will give you the covers at a cheaper rate.
I just went to my boss's wedding on monday, who had his dinner there and had the same menu as me. The food was not bad, however certain things which i may want to change. The room looks ok even without the covers. Most pple first impression, wah look nice, but after that the cover become a bothersome. Service was ok. The garden setting was ok, but I would choose the other setting. But they had a very nice ice carving of 2 angels.
Dont worry, I am also using ballroom 3. Once they put in the partition, it just looks like another wall. You will not even know that that it was even partitioned. It looks ok. I have seen the ballroom after it has been partitioned. Don't worry so much. With ballroom3, the environment is quite cosy with the decor. If you got the 688 package, it is already quite a good deal. Don't worry so much. If you really want the covers, you can change it to the 718 package. That includes the white covers.
My wedding in may next year. Smile.
