Hi geminiger, mine is 17 May 09. Had gone through several days of waiting before locking down this day as there was suppose to be a dnd in one of the ballroom. as i needed all 3 ballrms, took quite sometime before getting the AD. the next best day for my wife and I would be in dec 09 but dun want to wait too long, bcos we have bought our hse and is already in the midst of renovation. when is yours. i may setting up a blog to document the hse and wedding prep.

Anyone having their AD in orchard hotel on 3 Oct?
Understand from my friend whom had their wedding before at OH mention that the holding area is very messy when 2 weddings are held at the same time. Guests went to the wrogn room etc... kinda funny though!
Any comments?

geminiger - yes the crystal theme comes w wedding bell. how u feel? honestly speaking i dont like any of the theme but then once again, i dont agree to topping up to have special set up lor.. =(
so which theme u probably thinking of having?
spikez - such situation cant be helped as 2 different wedding takes place. so most importantly we need to inform our helpers manning the reception to be extra cautious to check with guest if they are attending so n so's wedidng..
escalator will lead to ballroom 3 directly which probably going to be more straightforward ba...
which ballroom u taking??

hi joleen: i think i will be taking the crystal theme...not much of a choice right? there is one with red and black colour theme one but elderlys might not like it..
did they throw in free montage for you?
spikez: yup..agree with joleen..there will be two weddings on my AD also...felt abit sian coz think will be messy but no choice..mine is ballroom 3 so think not so bad since it is nearest to escalator..

spikez: yup..agree with joleen..there will be two weddings on my AD also...felt abit sian coz think will be messy but no choice..mine is ballroom 3 so think not so bad since it is nearest to escalator..
yup this is the theme, i find this is the most dainty them out of the 3. ya initially oso tot of using the black color theme.. but think think... like dont really blend in... cos i would like something like crsyalite theme but their layout dont really look so glamourous kind hor.. hope next yr they can change theme. lol
i got the free montage. will u be using it? i thinking will pass them the photos to prepare but we will do our own version as well... kakaka
do u remb where will be the projector?? 1 or 2 ah??

joleen: ya lor..i guess this is the "best" so far..they have been using the 3 themes for more than two yrs le right? hope they can change to something better for next yr..
yup..will be using their montage ba..too "lazy" to do it on my own...
the projector will be only 1 for ballroom 3.. it will be placed at the left side of the ballroom (not at the center of the stage coz the bell will be blocking)the screen will be quite big hence dun need the projector thingy is an issue..
u still rem the wedding favours for guests?? i rem a luggage tag, a cherry-like photo holder and one more which i cant rem le...think i prefer the tag..

Hi Suzanna
The ballroom is nice. ya. left ballroom 1 and 2. I am still considering to take up anot. my concern is that it is a 8 course dinner and not 9 course. not sure if my guests will be full after the dinner anot. and also not sure if the dinner will end too fast as only 8 dishes (faster than the photo taking session etc).
i going to see Le Meridien later this evening. Will decide between these 2.
wat make u choose OH? can share with me? the perks she offer is quite standard. nothing fancy.

Hi, I m an ex bride of OH! A happy and satisfied one indeed.
We had our wedding at ballroom 1 and 2, beside us, there were another wedding at ballroom 3 and also solemuniation wedding at 1 or 2 of the function rooms.
Dun worry abt hearing e other ballroom sound, basically we heard none.
Dun worry abt mess up with another wedding beside u cos beside ur recept, ur photo helping to guide guests to the correct ballroom, there are also OH helpers ard, at the escalotor, at the lift asking guests, which ballroom are they heading to and lead them to the correct ballroom.
As for the themes, i signed my package with them in 2006 for my wedding on Nov07. They shown me a series of themes. After which, when the date get nearer, i was shown a new series of themes to choose from. Thus i believe the themes used now is consider less than 2 yr old?
The banquet manager will be able to assist to gauge the flow and speed of the serving of course to ensure everything run smoothly. And also the serving was alot that some of my guests even tabao the last dish cos no more space for it!
It will be a great experience there, just enjoy urself, dun worry gals!

Hi Suzanna
I have checked and double confirmed with my CO. She told me is 8 course dinner with dessert. I read the booklet she gave me. Is 9 course. Sign. Maybe she is blur. Feel that she is not professional also.
Anyway, I have signed up with Le Meridien. Not your neighbour for AD liao.

there's also another wedding on my AD. i'm using ballroom 3. also has the same concern that the reception area will be v crowded.
my AD is on 28dec08. there are wedding dinners back to back from 26dec. it's during festive season, i'm afraid it will be taxing for the OH staff. so if have enough manpower, i'll place more relatives, friends n colleagues at the reception area. at least they can help to guide the guests to the right ballroom.
has anyone seen their bridal suite?

i dun get a chance to view their bridal suite. it's always occuppied when i was there. i only know that the suites r at level 17 and there are at the same wing as the ballrooms. tt's gd at least i dun have walk very far to change my gowns.
i've got the helpers' room. it is a standard room n auto free upgrade to deluxe room upon availablity. dunno who should i give this room to.
i've selected the luggage tag as the wedding favours. it's the most practical and nice among the 3 favors. but the colour doesn't really match the theme i've selected. dun care lah.... i like the luggage tags. their previous wedding favors were bottle cap opener n mirror if i remembered correctly. v cute.

hi geminiger, really hope the reception area will not b very crowded on my AD. cos most of the guest should be coming up by the escalator near ballroom 3 exit.
there're lifts that go straight to ballroom 1 & 2 if i remember correctly. maybe those using ballroom 1 & 2 can get their guests to use the lifts instead if it's convenient. yesterday met up wif my CO. i can check wif her again on the lifts.

i oso like the luggage tag but dont know by my turn, still have or not.. sian lei..
i signed up partially for the wedding favors lor. =(
helpers room if realy no one to give, then u can consider asking ur parent to stay there for the nite???
btw have 3 favors meh?? tot only see luggage tag, and the grape lookalike card holder? what is the 3rd one?
yes there is lift that link to the end near to Ballroom 1 & 2
perhaps for those who worry enter wrong ballroom shd highlight to guest or ask coordinator to indicate on their notice panel.

yup it's gd to highlight to guests of all the lifts n escalator available. cos i've heard people sit through the dinner without realising they are in the wrong ballroom. kekeke.....
i signed up OH package cos of the availability of the date we wanted, it is pillarless n high ceiling. my in-laws like it very much. the wedding favors then also was also v cute. the thrid wedding favor is an green apple candle.
