Orchard Hotel

Hi, i did my PS at the club lounge and one of their signature suites. The pool is currently under renovation.

As i do not have studio shoots, so i chose to go OH to do some 'indoor' shoots.
 


chere: thks! ask my HB abt it. We r interested to take pics there too. Shall liaise with Elleen then.

hi muffin, could you share with me the unhappiness too, ( can pm me) as i also want to watch for any potential hippcups. i have signed up with them for next jan and Cleo was the wedding coordinator. she told me she going back to school. i have yet to see the new themes or went down to meet the new coordinator, cindy yet
 
Mar07bride, hi I heard that Cleo is going to further her studies that is why she left. I understand that another person...erm...cannot remember her name suddenly...oh Cindy is taking over all her task.

Jo, me slacking in my wedding prep. :D Anyway still long way, so taking my time. Major things like BS and hotel has been done. So just wait for the parent meeting for some traditional thingy. And maybe the wedding bands lor.

Muffin, can share with me your photos ley....

Hi Zenzen, I heard from my bf's aunty (she is a wedding planner), she has experience working with Cindy and said that she is actually more experience. So dont worry. The theme pic I think I have you want to give me your email address?
 
hi Joanne, am glad to hear that...i will try to meet up with cindy soon and ask her to show me the themes.
if you have, pls could you send to me at [email protected]? i was not able to be at wedding show on 25 mar, missed the themes. thanks a bunch
 
joanne: me slack too! haha.. basically nothing much to do now also. waiting for gown fitting in june. How abt u?
 
hi tink,
Have you book with Orchard hotel? u mean Nov 2008 or 2007?

hi muffin,
Can forward me the theme as well? i have just visited Orchard hotel last sat for ballroom 3..but still prefer ballroom 1&2... Now,contemplating whether to choose merchant court or orchard hotel..but heard that the food at orchard hotel is fantastic..but for the pricing, is kinda high..As for the theme, i feel is rather simple..no preference for any yet..maybe they will change since is for next year...From the comments, it makes me worry...

hi livestrong,
What is your package since we are of the same..lunar 8 month 2008..they will increase the package for another $50 from next year aug onwards..
 
Hi Serene,

I have booked already. Like the date as it falls on my husband birthday.... no choice cause we book quite late all the hotels are fully booked. But the perks and theme not very good..

I agree with you that the theme is not very fantastic. Very plain, nothing special or can catch your attention.

Anybody has the perks to share? Trying hard to nego. Still cannnot get waiver cockage of red wines. Anybody has any comments to share.
 
Hi hi...

Serene...

Can't really share much as we have already signed and the contract with OH. The prices we got is the basically the promo during the wedding show in March. We basically sign it cos we know for sure prices will go up for sure...due to GST, gahmen taxes and now...F1 Cess....So signed we did as we already know the date of the wedding. Most importantly, it is how you negotiate and the chemistry of the coordinator. Ours is Cindy...She hit off pretty well with us.

Well good luck..anyhow, always take my comment with a pinch of salt cos that's how I take comments on this thread.

Good luck.
 
Hi ladies, the perks that I got was based in 2006. Hehe. So it's really outdated. Now there are better perks, with higher prices. ;)
 
i was tinking getting wine from them is easier. no need to carry ard, no need to scare got too much leftover or not enough and of cos no corkage charges.
 
hi hi...

tinklebellz

our coordinator is also Cindy. As for the wine, it is 27 bucks/bottle as per our understanding from Cindy. This is the price if we were to buy wine from the hotel.

Have you signed yet? As much as I like to share the perks with you....I couldn't cos I cannot and I will not post it here in the forum and hence put Cindy in a spot. Imagine many run to her and say, eh, how come you give this and that to them...
**Not very ethical**

As we are bounded by contract and I don't want to put Cindy in a spot...but I will give you a clue to help ya...if you have not yet signed the contract, you can negotiate for more.

That's for sure...Cindy should be quite agreeable to help if at all possible.
 
hi everyone....

wow.. seems like this thread is very much alive now...

I'm havin my AD in Sept at OH... and will be finalising everything with my co-ordinator in a couple of weeks time as I'm located overseas and it's been tough gettin hold of them...
