hi babes..just finished with my wedding..
lucky my hubby tested out their DVD player etc system..it was not working..
the food was disappointing..but was expected as it will be diff from FT..my guests said the fish was overcooked..meat too tough..then prawns shrink..and teisin cabbage dont work with the old ppl..
but overall the banquet manager Devan was a very nice guy..he helped to make sure nothing crops up..and he was the one who performed the fire thingy for the 1st dish
oh ya and the complimentary room was big!!! it's like a suite!! worth it..
for the 2nd march in..we took the bugy car..Devan drove very slowly for everyone to admire..everybody said we looked like mr and mrs president in it..worth to take..

Hi Chris,
congrats on your recent wedding!!! Must be a huge relief that everything went well.
Can I ask during your dinner, did you have time for thank you speeches? n Did you have time for pics with all the tables and how many tables you have? I have around 60 and am worried there's not enough time for PS.

Hi Christina..
we do have thank u speech when we rch the stage for 2nd march in..
we have 48 tables but manage to take pics with all coz our Emcee helped us to coordinate very well..
ur hubby's bro need to get ready the next table in advance for taking pics..
and most impt the guests cannot toast ur hubby..if not very hard to take all the pics finish..
by the time we took the pics..it's already 930pm++ then i need to rush to change to my CS gown..
worst come to worst u have to put not so impt guests or those willingly to wait 4 u to take pics at the last tables etc..coz usually have to take with relatives they all 1st..priority..

hi chris,
congrats on your wedding!! good that everything went smoothly..
we are waiting for serene to send us the agreement, for our banquet next year nov. =) anything to advise?
the bears are so cute! you got them from OCC?
may i ask a few questions?
are the projectors showing some pictures throughout the night?
the starry night theme is one of the 3 themes provided by OCC right? how much is this decor?
where did you change your gowns, in the changing room beside the ballroom, or at the bridal suite at the building next to the ballroom?
we are also looking at 40+ tables for the banquet. will the ballroom look rather empty with the sides, the 2nd floor, and the area near the entrance empty?
thanks thanks..

Hi Ryan..
i think the package are quite standard..
the Bears are from OCC..it's one of the wedding gifts..they have photo frames, chocs, and 'Xi' sauce bowls and spoons ah..
ya their projectors are showing our wedding pics..morning montage etc etc..pics with music throughout the whole nite..
our changing room is call Jade Suite or Foyer ah..i think this room is for small functions also..which is just beside OCC grandball room..10secs will reach..
the ballrm wont look empty ah..we also had 48 tables + 2 reserves..and it's been spread out evenly..
then OCC gives 3 themes..2 are with big 'Xi' or heart shape flowers behind ah..but we choose starry theme..it's FOC eh..included in the package..we didnt pay any extra..flowers and decorations also provided..

hi chris,
think the package i have (for 2010) is different from yours. cos we are charged for the flower decor arrangements, which included the isle, the stage, the cocktail reception area (think is at the Jade Suite), the VIP tables and the rest of the tables.
ah!! finally get to see the buggy! just like a coupe! so cool! hehehe.. lucky my FW reminded me to inform serene to add the buggy in..
serene suggested to us to walk back to our suite room at orchid lodge to change into EG and cheongsum. she said its about a minute walk, via the shorter route, and about 3 minutes walk, via the longer route..
initially, we plan to have solemnization at OCC, just before the dinner. then after much discussion with our JP, we are having it in the morning, at a monastery, a buddhist-style solemnization.. hehehe
thereafter, depending on the time schedule, we may have a PS at the designated areas, arranged by OCC. did you have time for PS?

we took 200+ cards from OCC..then the supplier charged us ard $200-230 (roughly there)..we have only 1 icon on the insert

Hi Wendy,
can you post pictures of the wedding card here? hehe..
Hi Chris,
845pm.. what time did you end? we are hoping to start at 7pm, latest 730pm.. is this unrealistic? hehe.. thinking of means to get my guests to come on time..
we can actually ask for the 40 seater bus to pick up our guests for 3 rounds?
