mrswang, i had enquire from them yesterday during the meet up as to discuss abt their pkg. the food will be cook and prepare in the kitchen beside the grand ballroom, the chief will b the same as rotate between the chinese restaurant on 1st floor. tried the restaurant food during friend ROM dinner before, food quality was good and nice. so there shd b no problem on it de.
piggylover> Not sure abt bringing in more than their max... gotta check with them lo.. i guess u can always call up Andrew and check with him?
I'm still trying to fix a whole table of Halal.
For vege, i dun think I have a table of 10, I guess I have to pay double for that person.. or squeeze 11 in that table i think... then wont waste one extra seat for normal food...

rach, oh yes. thx alot for ur advise, indeed is a gd suggestion on the hala n veg problem. tik gotta sort out the guest list in the latest part. had sent out an email to Andrew to enqire this and corkage charges.
Sorry for the late reply, have been away for the last few days. For the veg and halal problem, not so much of a problem. My Muslim guests are one family that is why I can make arrangement for them to sit together in one table. But do take note if all the Muslim guests sit together in one table, there is two ways of presenting: one way is individual shares (which I dun like) and the other way is serve by dishes. The latter is the option I choose. My godparents feedback that the halal food is good and they love the way they presented the dishes also (my godparents are Muslim). Hmm try to squeeze the odd vegetarian together in a table of 10 non-vegetarian. Like that will not miss anyone out.
mrswang> The food is quite good and the portion is quite huge. For my tables of 56 + 1 halal, the guests love the food not much complaint except that the waiters and waitress seems a little bit too eager to clear the tables lor.
Piggylover> Er the house wine is not bad but find that with the price tag I can get better red wine outside. That is why I outsource my red wine to a local supplier. As for hard liquor, we din have any cos din cater for it.

jonathan, thank u for ur information. had check with andrew for the halal & veg charges, for those guest sitting with normal table will gotta chrg $60++ per pax extra. we r trying to gather the list & hope tat can fill all sitting in the same table.
as for the house wine indeed getting outside with the corkage chrgs is lower too. which wine supplier did u get frm local? we are tiking to get from outside too but worry if we get too much & there mayb alot extra for us to bring back. hw many bottle did u cater for each table?

My boyfriend and I are thinking of having an outdoor garden theme wedding.. AD is in June 08 and yet find a suitable place which can fit into our budget. :/

Anyway... regards to the halal + vegetarian... i ambit confused... let take it this way, if we have one full table of 10pax for vegetarian, they do charge us @ the same pricing as our normal table ? or still additional charges involved?
And if we do not have 10pax to make up one table, how is their charges like? @.@" i dun think i got 10pax wor...

moments, for the halal & vegetarian it come in if u got full table of 10pax will b charge as per normal pkg price. but i tik mayb lower as this 2 different menu guest may not drink beer, so gotta check with the cooridinator of the charges.
as for those guest which taking but not in same 10pax de, nd to top up $60++ per pax extra frm the pkg they had offer u for normal menu de.

Fiona> My BS is MBR..
BTW, i dun think they have only buffet style, the ones i saw in the calendar is sit down tables... i think its 9 course style also.. gotta check with them though to ensure..
moments> the way they charge for halal and vege is like this:
if you have a table of 10pax or less ( as long as whole table is serve Halal/Vege) they'll charge you according to Menu 1 or 2 (can't rem is which)'s prices. So even if you have 5 persons in the table, it'll be charged as one table price.. $548++ or $618++ (2008 pricing)
Alternatively, if you have 10 pax in a table and you have 2 halal/vege, you have to pay that table's price - $548++ plus 2x$54++ or $62++.
Which means.. the 2 person sitting at the table is actually incurring double costs.
Coz they will charge by per table coz they will prepare the food for 10 pax, not 8 pax. So its only right that they charge u extra for that 2 persons.. I'm not sure if we can have 10 chinese in the table + 1 halal/vege. This gotta check... maybe someone can check and let us know? Hee..
I know Meritus Mandarin can. That's what the sales there told me. Just squeeze the extra in the table, then no need incur extra loh.. just a little bit squeezy for them la.. but i guess that is a good idea.
if you dont have 10pax in the table but u want whole table to be vege/halal, you have to pay full table price.
piggylover> there is a standard pricing for the halal/vege. they dont take into account that they dont drink beer la... beer is separate charge wat.. the 1 barrel that they give also not sufficient to cover all.. unless you having lesser tables..
Hope this helps!

rach, im nt really sure too. as per conversation between HTB & OCC did mention abt it. but no confirm de, still nd to talk to them once finlise on the confirm guest list again.
Piggylover> Guess rach has helped me answered your question kekeke. Still got the contact list, let me know your email account will send them to u. Besides if u manage to get enough people to sit together in one halal table, go for one table instead of individual portion. The table is more worth it.
As for red wine, my guests about half of them drink wine and I have around 56 tables. I cater around 36 bottles of red wine and another 26 bottles of red wine on consignment based. The prices for the red wine around $17 and most of my guests like it as it goes down well with the food.

mrswang, my AD fall in Dec 2009. already got my date now, but hav not confirm wit OCC yet. i had asked him during my visit last wk, there are couples had already book for their wedding for year 2009. so it's nt consider early if wanna take action nw.

oop.. we didnt wait for the tong shu for 2009, cos gotta wait till aft the lunar 7mth in 2008 den it will b out. hmm.. quite late & rush if by tat time wanna prepare for all those wedding planning & arrangement. so we went a shifu recommended by my frez, which he do not require to wait for the tongshu to be out. found he is very experience & gd in explanation on both ur bazhi & show ur charater de. cos b4 we meet up with him, my HTB seem he like those normal shifu jus anyhow say but out of expectation. he agreed wit alot of the shifu comment & even considering getting him to see our new house fengshu too.
let me knw if u nd his contact, i can email u de.

mrswang> No problem, think it is advisable to book earlier lor especially 2009 most of the hot date like 20/09/2009 have already been taken up. Think like what piggy mentioned it will be better to get a FT to calculate and provide u with a list of date to choose. For my case I also consult a FT also 
)
)Piggy> A good thumb of rule is to judge how many people in the table will drink wine. For a typical red wine bottle, it can pour around 6 to 7 glasses (accordingly my wine supplier OCC wine glass are slightly smaller as compared to other place). For me, I cater around one bottle for 36 tables based on the calculation of around 30 tables of guests are wine drinker.
That is why I have 36 confirmed purchase and 36 bottles on consignment based. The 36 confirmed purchase will have to use up or bring back if unable to finish. As for the 36 bottles of consignment based, the wine supplier will bring back as long as the red wine is not opened lor.

Piggy> From what I understand from my coordinator, that mean if says u got 10 non-vegetarian and one vegetarian sitting in one table, u will be charged one table of non-vegetarian and one vegetarian. That is what I understand when I checked with him. This is a typical practice in msot hotel also.
