Jovan> MmMM.. I guess different roles... coz Andrew is sales manager... Rendall is events manager..
Sales are the ones that controls what is in our contract... what the events side gotta do is just accomodate to what we want to be done.. definitely its much easier loh...
They wont be calculative...coz whatever needs to be calculated has been done by the SO...
Different jobscope la...

hiye all... good morning...
I have yet to get assigned with my new EO... supposed to start the wedding discussion in march... haiz...
Think of the positive side ba.. new comers in new enviroment, though they may nt be familiar.. but i guess the passion will be there... and the left over EO will take the role to do even better.... =P

I had my meeting with Andrew liao. I wouldn't say he is very strict (as in everything cannot) but he weigh his words well (seems to be very seasoned)..he is quite unlike other pple that we have seen who seem more genuine and friendly. I couldn't really negiotate for much.. he was like we'll have to relook the package again coz I asked for some stuff to be taken out.
The ballroom is nice but I didn't like the suite. Have you guys seen it??!! Smelt of smoke (though he said they can remove the smell) and the deco very dated. But I suppose that is ok since your guests will see the very classy ballroom and not the bridal suite.
I am still considering this venue since its one of the better ones. Btw my AD is 11 Oct 08.

Valerie> yup... i checked with Emily...the rest all have better deals tats why left.. but seems like Rendall left due to personal reason, according to some insider info.. Mmm....
My Sales C was Selina..she's bery nice and negotiable...
Yah. the Bridal Suite is nothing much.... cant expect too much, but just big loh.. went to Pan Pac the day before... the Bridal Suite is COOL man!! hahaha.. very class!
Smoke i think is due to the previous occupant... that one can be removed la.. they say will put nice bedsheets for Bridal Suite... nice wedding kind of bedsheets... hahhaa.... yah.. not much deco... i guess its more value for money ba....

oop.. for the room, get to knw from Andrew tat all the rooms will be having renovation in 2009. so for me will all be new room.
hey guys! i received a call from Shane and informed that her last day is 11mar.. that the most ironic thing from her is 'no one has assigned to take over my case yet'..
very disappt on how OCC mgt handle such crisis.. i am going down with my sister on this sun noon (to meet up Shane - last session) to view a wedding set up.. to c if there is a need to put up any flower deco.. afterwhich, i will make sure there is someone who i can contact/liaise with on my wedding stuffs, esp mine is at this month end.. most likely i will call up Selina and 'complain' if no one contactd me after Shane's departure..
lucky thing is my elder sis who works as event coordinator (for wedding) at hyatt, swiss, fullerton hotel, etc.. she will oversee for me, and i will ask for her assistance when there is a need..
lastly, good luck to those couples who are going to have their weddings in near months!!

Anna> ooh.. I'll be going down this sat to see a wedding in progress.. hehehe.. will be there frm reception to march in.. wanna see how its like.. heheh....then see if we need extra projector at the back.. scared our guests cant see our expensive animation and video highlights.. hehehhe..
Anna> yup.. we know.. there's one on the right and left.. but we feel too small... we are considering in bringing in extra projector on our own..
extra cost..
Jovan> yup.. the sales decides on the corkage.. and its stated in the contract leh.. if EO didnt charge them... maybe its thru negotiation loh..

btw... i managed to get slightly better perks coz my mum is working @ OCC hor....
Soo... u all just try ur best to ask for what you really need... and i guess there's a limit to what they can offer and if you have alot of tables... like me... my guarantee is 65... and i'm looking at about 70 now... so.... i managed to secure slightly better deals la... economies of scale ma.. if i get the same perks as all of u when I'm having more tables and paying more.. then i loogy rite?? heehee....
So... if the sales can't acede to your request... then bo bian loh.. unless u all also have 65 guarantee and have mum working @ OCC.. then maybe ou can try to ask for what i gotten also loh.. hehehe...
Jiayou everyone!! May you get the best deal okie!
Don't make life difficult for the Sales la.. later they give you too much kena pay cut!! wahahahha..
Yeah.. I'm counting down 179 days to my AD.... Mmmm.....
So after Anna, who's next in the line??

Hi Guys,
This is my 1st post here at SBF. Thanks to all the support you guys and gals have given to my team and myself. Certainly been a pleasure working with you all ;P For those whom have not worked with me or any of my ex team members, not to worry I am sure the new team will be able to assist you with their expertise.
Moments> Rest assured your WD is in good hands, will intro the EO to you this Sunday.
Rach> Never mention the new EO as i thought it will be better to do it personally rather than on the phone. ;P
For those whom I have communicated prior to this over the phone or email, do not worry my mobile is still working, do call me if any assistance is required, I will certainly help. My email is [email protected]

Jon> no worries. I am glad everything went on smoothly. We always put ourselves in the couple's position and from there we will know how is it like if everything is so rigid and not done properly.
Perhaps you can provide me with an email address so that i can drop you an email sometime soon when i am settled down at my new place. Its a new place that everyone is talking about and its great not just for weddings but other social and lieisure functions. I can send you an invites for that.

Thks Piggylover!! I'm torn b/w them and Laguna. Laguna is giving me lots more perks and the manager is so much more friendly too! Price wise they are almost similar.. so I am more inclined towards Laguna even though the ballroom is not as grand as Orchid. In such a dilemma now..

suwaiwai,
yes, i had compare Laguna & OCC before. they are offering really a very attracting pkg, perks & gd service frm their event sales. but i have get some feedback. we did not put Laguna in our list, did u went to their road show at BOW during Jan time? they got free buses for visit n their show during that time. my cousin went n get some feedback & plus it is quite far from my place. tat is jus my personally information only lar, think u can read through their thread to know more n understand more de. gd luck!

Hi pple,
i would like to know more about Laguna..i'm more or less ok with the distance. i have been there to see the actual wedding setup for the ballroom and it looks nice, though not pillarless.
can someone share with me the perks given by laguna and who is the person you're in contact with?
Thx!
