Hi suelynn, basically most dishes i took quite nice, what kind of prawns u tried?
mine's a herb and wine steamed prawns.
I love the roasted garlic chicken but too bad due to the roast piggy having probs on 1st dish, so gotta take that chicken out, sob...very unwilling to leave that out though.
didnt try the lobster 1st dish so crossing mi fingers itz as gd as the rest i tried.
the red grouper fish was very fresh and yummy too.

peirced> Ur menu is the most ex one rite, tink for cost saving purpose we will be taking the basic menu 1. I prefer steam prawns or drunken kind. wonder if we can change or top a lil for tat. We shld be having abt 50 to 60 tables....So pretty siong... Wat abt the roast piggy? Anyone have vegetrian or muslim table?
suelynn,
I had my dinner in January this year. Will share my experiences with you on the red-packets. To be frank, I covered all the dinner expenses with the red packets. I managed also to cover the photography, videography and almost all of the bridal package. So with all these info, you can start ur calculations.
I had 46 tables for my wedding day and had the basic menu 1.
Need any more info, let me know.
Pierced,
How are wedding preps coming along?
Cheers,
Matt

dwarfs> u can email them to ask for photos of the plc, alternatively u can go down n view. Pierced has jus shared the food tasting experience in abt 3 posts earlier. Maybe u can check wat she posted?
My mum jus told me she respects our decision, so as long as we like can ald. Cos she said tat when she told my granny we are looking at OCC, she got really excited cos she been there for a wedding b4. Her comments is that the food is good n the plc is very big n grand. Tink mum must have been influenced by her kekkeke
Felt like making a tentative booking 1st n then place deposit during their wedding show....

Hi suelynn, yup mine is the most ex one so may not be covered by the Aps, but act i feel the basic one is quite gd already, like what matt took.
roast piggy was gd and crispy.
im not having muslim tables but OCC does it by per pax as i do not need a whole table. both muslim and veg at $53.80 per pax.
will be attending a frenz wedding this wkend there too, juz rite bef mi own.
hey matt, wedding preps ok, so far so gd, i hope everything is done. haha...very relaxed hor...
hi dwarf, the ballrm was the main raw that made mi choose OCC, oso eard gd reviews abt the food. act, i did not even consider other places, as i didnt want a hotel venue too.

hi iceblue, as said in my above post, OCc does offer muslim and veg per pax.
quite hard to guage how much colleagues will give as it depends on the wedding and how well u know the person. may differ in the amount they give. usually ppl worry abt relatives as they are the main reason for loss. coz relatives usually bring along kids etc and their AP might not cover that.
so far mi colleagues have been quite nice, those whom cannot make it for mi dinner will still pass mi APs,
if u need the package, try emailing OCC for their newest one as matt and mi package are older ones. they might have revised it and price might have increased as well.

pierced,
Your replies quite fast ah... haha.. must be come in here and look see everyday ah.. Good that you are relaxed. Most important for the bride to look pretty on that day.
ice blue & suelynn,
Red packets ah... Friends will definately contribute more. Relatives come in a big group will give slightly lesser. Maybe I got many good friends and relatives who back me up
.
My wedding is on a Sat and attendance is like 95%
Friends mostly give $80 on average but some give $68 and etc...
Food-wise, the red garouper is good plus the chicken got good comments. The Yam ring also come highly recommended....
Hope the info is useful.

Matt

iceblue> i happened to went to look look see see the newpaper bridal fair at suntec , n there was a OCC booth, so they asked if we are interested to go. So we paid for the tix n mths later they mailed us the tixs. It was sometime in april/may I cant remember. Subsequently, there were ads in bridal mags abt the bridal show as well.
I also got emails abt the bridal show as well as I sign up for their newsletter

Hi suelynn,
food was gd, portions are big but i tot that the sharksfin was not hot enuf.
but we were not quite pleased with the service. think they really need to train their staff as the waitress didnt even know how to change the plates until 4th dish when we requested to.
mi hb even wrote to our coord to warn them abt all these and to make sure that our wedding nx wk shouldnt have all these unpleasant things.
the place is fine, haha, have been there many times.
our fren whom we took to do the system and laptop test in the aftn commented that it is very grand. so quite reassured on that.
the favours mi fren took was oso the bear. hee...i chose that too. coz nicest mah. i didnt like that napkin holder...looked a bit lame when i saw it. haha.... would have chose chocs as nx best since some guests act still like chocs coz can eat mah.
let mi know if u want any other info ...hee

dwarfs> the lady who emailed me is oso selina. But we havnt go down yet to meet her. Cos mine is still long way down the road. Tink can only bargain for waiver of corkage cos their perks quite rigid as their price ald quite ok compared to other ctry clubs.
I have abt 50 to 60, havnt confirm no of tables cos my mil havnt even estimate anything yet.....Tink its wiser to book lesser tables 1st cos it doesnt make much diff for more tables..... Was tinking of booking 40 +2 first, nearer the dates then get everyone confirm then tell them the number? like 2 mths b4 or wat? I dunno hw lei. Anyone can advise?

Hi dwarfs, act we had ard 50, but aft all the invites were out and ppl calling up to cancel, we left wif ard 46 tables. advisable u juz book for 40 like suelynn said, coz like mi, i cfn the no of tables only by tiz wk when mi weddings nx wk. one wk in adv is ok.
mine is on a wk end, sat.
plus i gonna play safe by even cutting down to 45 tables since got 2 reserved tables. ( the reserves are set for 11 pax)
itz crazy when u get nearer to the date coz ppl keep calling up to inform u they not coming and it plays havoc wif the sesting arrangements as well as the confirmation of tables.
i thk for ur case would be like mine, instead try asking for waiver of corkage as u will sure open another barrel like we did.

suelynn, no mention of only original cds, should be ok. but the technician advise itz better to burn into CD tracks for the songs u intend to play for march in etc as they will be able to see the track no. otherwise MP3 no listing on the player.
alternatively is to use laptop to play everything including montage.

hi suelynn,
txs! hee...not really lei coz got a lot of loose ends to tie up. maybe on the day only den excited. keke.
they give u 70% of the tables for cards but u can ask for extras. i asked for extra 70 cards. but act itz more than enuf coz im left with extras, so when ur turn comes, i can pass u the extras i have. hee...
best if u go to the printer OCC used coz they will do up everything and includes printing the map on the inserts. no need to go photocopy and paste it on the card itself like mi fren did.
