bleue >> ya...when you send email to request for the package, they will inform you if there are availablity or not... Alot of times, even if you have the budgets, but there are just no venues available to hold...

All the best to your bro!

Issit in a fuction room there to hold this special moment??

 

[piggylover]

[moments0442]

Piggylover >>> hmm... i have just signed the contract,nothin will be confirmed as yet, they will only start all the planning 3 mth ahead from the AD... so i will only starts plans on Mar... keke..

They will assign either a venue for us to hold, but @ a rental fee involved... if not, they will arrange a small decorated tables @ the president suite to hold it there.. =P

When the days are near, perhaps i can tell u how mines goes~ keke

 

[piggylover]

hi moments0442, when is ur AD? actually i m planning to hold mine in the room too. but was worry if OCC allow to do tat.

u r getting which pkg menu? for the basic will not be getting the president suite unless gotta top up n check if the room is available.

hehe.. tik it will b great if u can update me on ur arrangement with OCC.

 

[moments0442]

Piggylover >>> my AD is on Jun next year! Actually i didn't know can hold in the suite, it's the OCC that gaves me this idea, but i guess if can hold by the greenery will have a better view...and atmosphere...

yeah...you'll get a president suite if you upgrade to menu II or III...YOu can request to view the 2 suites, normal and president... i think president suite balcony can hold the solemnization...

 

[piggylover]

moments0442, Oya.. actually tat is wat im planning abt it. but when i told OCC tat i mayb require to hold mine in the suite, they are asking mayb can do at the foyer before dinner start... haiz.. i wan afternoon hw to do it before dinner le..

I dont know if they have a template. Didnt ask cos i had my template from my hotel. but most templates are the same leh.. just use a template from previous wedding dinner cards that you've received lor.

The pricing was as of June 2007.
Not sure if there has been any revision since then.. but its still much cheaper. almost 1/2 price. According to my friend, there's some shops ard there selling all the wedding stuffs.. so you just need to print ur wedding card there, while they prepare the sample for u to see.. (1hour+) u can shop ard for wedding stuffs before going back to see. They take abt a week to print.. (in fact they called my friend in 3 days to pick it up) so u can always go back there to pick it up a week later or when u are available.

 

[piggylover]

hi rash, when is ur AD? can i jus ask hw much did they offer u on their pkg?

im planning mine in 2009, will b meeting sales next wk as to discuss for the pkg. quite disappoint tat he had informed that the earlier pkg which his colleague sent me was not update. he resend another pkg to me again but will price increase of abt $10 each table. tat really my me heart pain liao. nw having problem, tiking to go down discuss if it is possible to remain the previous pkg which send earlier.

 

[raragal]

piggylover> I was given the $548++ or $618++ package loh.. yet to decide to take Menu I or II.
I think the price rather okay la... compared to most hotels... its very affordable already..
Since it was their mistake, you try to see if u can get it at the original price loh... I was able to get it at the old price at another venue when i went there. But decided on OCC instead.. Hee..

Who's ur sales coordinator?
Mine is Selina. She's very experienced and very helpful.

After the sales part, we'll be handled over to the events part to help coordinate the rest of the AD details..

 

[raragal]

Oh.. mine is 08 Sep 08.

 

[piggylover]

rach, really thx alot for ur info. u r 1 yr ahead me.

i will b meeting up with Andrew next wk. due to the sudden increase of price, nt sure if can negociate with him ant. overall increase diff is nearly $500, which i can use it to either top up my wedding photo or other thing require.

 

[raragal]

piggylover> Mmm.. i think the price increase of $10 per table is already bery low le...
If u look at other places, its at least $50-$100 increase in price ah...

$500 may not be very little.. but if u look at the whole picture.. its actually not a lot also la... if u really like the place... then go ahead loh..

 

[piggylover]

rach, oh no no.. i tik u misunderstood le.

i mean i hav got their pkg for 2009 earlier but now when we wanna meet up wit them to discuss abt the pkg & thing which will be include. He told us today through phone tat the earlier pkg was nt update enough & require to resend us the updated. And the different between this 2 2009 pkg is $10 but if compare to 2008 pkg there is a huge jump too.

indeed OCC is a gd venue for wedding.

 

[raragal]

OOhh.. icic.. okay okay...

Hee...

 

[raragal]

Piggylover> can u activate ur PM?

 

[piggylover]

rach, i had activated my PM.
