Wah~~ just got back from dinner at my PILs' house... eat until so super full...like that cannot lose weight in time for the wedding leh! Aiyah...feel a bit sian leh, like kind of sad that I can't eat the food... eh is there any way to get them to reserve one portion and serve it up to the room after the banquet ah?
hi all, finally got time to post! The event went well, we had lots of last min request like having tea ceremony over at the dinner and OCC was very good in helpin us with that. I was impressed with the place, when I march in during 1st march in then I saw the ballroom. My coordinators frens dun allow me to go down n show myself to my guests....only allow b4 I march-in.
We get serve sandwich at abt 4 pm, and after our event, they serve us the food which we din eat during the dinner as supper. Cos bridal table the food is individually served one. Alot of ppl impressed by the place, said the food is great. No complaints except the serving of wine n liquor is really slow. End up we have lots of red wine left.....We open 1 barrel of beer and 31 glasses.....Quite unexpected....
My cousin tot of having her wedding there too! Depends on the kind of ppl u invite, some ppl give $50.......and $60...like nvr go for weddings b4 one, so surprised...... We managed to break even.

Suelynn, congrats! Glad that everything went well on your big day, and managed to break-even.
How many tables did you have during the banquet? What was the originally number of guest when you send out the invites? After RSVP, what was the number of tables left?
What time did your banquet start? Quite surprise that only consumed approx 1.3 barrel of beer. So you only pay for 31 glasses of beer?
Did you request for the sandwich? I do not recalled that this is in the package.
Any photo to share?

jon> thats y lo, no stock shld tell us b4 hand, in fact the wedding bears were changed 1 day b4 our AD. There is some shipment prob they say but its ok, the one we had is cuter than the 1 we chose. Alot of ppl fighting for it, cos some guests stole other table's...... Its still acceptable if we are being informed but then when we are caught by surprised what the guests told us...we dunno hw to react lo!

Ribena and sylphide> Just send my inserts for printing today, send my printing to Focal Ad recommended by OCC. They will email me the sample, if confirmed the printing will take one week.
Spend around $173.25 (after 5% GST) for a total printing of 350 inserts. The exact breakdown is as followed:
1) 350 inserts - $100 (around $0.28 per inserts)come with free map
2) 350 ribbons - $35 ($0.10 per ribbon)
3) 3 icons - $30 ($10 each)
Never used hot stamping think it is a waste of $$$ cos dun think anyone will take note of the wedding invitation cardsp

Ann> Will be holding my wedding banquet this Oct, so far the coordinator assigned to me has been doing a great job for me. Using the grand ballroom for my dinner but find one of the function room Ruby Suite not bad with the curtains drawn up, it has a nice secenary view. For the ballroom, it is one the grandest that can be found in Singapore with its high ceilings.
Food so far the portion from the D & D and wedding dinner I attended is big, food so far is all right I guess. But will be going for a food tasting in Sep, will be able to give a better accessment then as my brother in law who will do the food tasting. will provide us with the necessary feedback.

I am taking the grand ballroom. I like the setting very much, spacious and grand...hee!
My sales coordinator is Jenny, will i be assign another coordinator after i sign the contract? How many tables will u be holding? i am holding around 40-45. Your wedding is in Oct? wow...3 more months to go...Have u taken your PS?

Jovi> Yeah the ballroom was the main reason why we choose OCC. My wife simply loves the ballroom with its long aisle. Bery grand and spacious like u have mentioned. The one who did the sales for me was Andrew Lim their sales manager.
Was assigned a coordinator after I signed the contract. Think u will be assigned one coordinator also. So far my coordinator has been doing a great job for us).
Holding around 55 tables and still counting, hopefully can reduce it but quite unlikely lor. My AD is on the 14th of Oct, my PS will be at end of July.

Hi all,
based on my experience, you can minus 4 tables off your list and then confirmed on that. Cos what happened is we only minus 2, we have about 61 tables and we confirmed 59, we included in the reserved tables, who knows end up we got about 4 tables empty if we were to squeeze all the guests to fill all the tables. Its easier to ask for increase than to reduce.
And be prepared to lose $ cos generally ppl will give $60 or $80, some even gave $50 and below. Am quite surprised cos nowadays ppl give $60 even for restuarant......
