Thanks!!

candyrock · Aug 9, 2009

hi all,

we went to the both the wedding lunches and dinners..3 themes on setup---divine elegance, enchanted drean, and medieval of love. the pics are in my cam..but my lappie crashed, so can't upload yet cause i need the lumix software in laptop..so pls be patient with me, thanks!

but i can give reviews..so here we go!

1) divine elegance:

we saw this in the morning..the stage is the nicest part of the theme, looks quite grand and elegant...no probs seeing this from the end of the pacific ballroom. the reception table had 3 small vases of flowers(in white and purplish-pink)...no rose petals scattered, so it looks kinda plain..the table cloth was a shade of gold that went well with the golden angpaobox and guestbook scroll. imo, the choice of colour for the flowere were kinda off.

for the vip tables, it wasn't the same candle thingy we saw previously...there were only 2 vases of flowers in the same colours(kinda off again with the gold table cloth used), with rose petals scattered around it. the guest tables had a vase of white roses each. the tablecloths were also in gold with white seat covers. only the vip tables had cream/gold sashes.

for those choosing this theme, i would suggest that yellow and white flowers would be better. and i don't think the stage would look nice in ocean ballroom as the white cloth used for stage decor wouldn't really stand out against the white walls. no offense

2) enchanted dream:

i viewed this twice yest and both were held in the ocean ballroom...maybe it's just me but i felt that the dinner banquet looked better and slightly more elaborate than the lucheon. at the reception table, they had a tall centrepiece with white lilies, yellow garden roses and baby's breath, with yellow rose petals scattered around it..it was the first thing i saw about this them and it's very nice.

all the tablecloths used were also the same shade of gold used in "divine elegance"...the guest tables all had a small vase of white roses too..vip tables' centrepieces followed the same style as the one at reception table...but with more dangling crystals. stage wise, i think this works in ocean ballroom as the ceiling is quite low..and there were some glittering cones and nice pomander floral balls.

imo, this theme don't look very different from divine elegance as the same colours were used in both themes. i guess the vip+guest+reception tables of "enchanted dream" were more elaborate and nicer.

i would choose this over divine elegance if my reception is held in ocean ballroom.

3) medieval of love:

this was the largest banquet we saw yest...it hosted 55 tables. the couple had changed the table cloths to red so the theme doesn't look so stern and dark. the reception tables had 2 small vases of red roses with rose petals scattered..and we saw that they were using the red angbao box.

i feel that the stage doesn't lose out to divine elegance..

all the seat covers were black, with red organza sashes tied to the vip seats...so i guess for sashes on guest seats, we have to pay.

right now, we are leaning towards this theme as it's more striking...however, i don't think this would go well with the older folks.

candyrock · Aug 9, 2009

oh ya, just an afterthougt...if anyone is going to view the themes in future, it would be better to get the wedding couple's permission..

pictures later...hope this helps!

toottoot · Aug 9, 2009

Wow Candyrock, that's really a detailed descriptions of the themes that you have seen..hope to see ur pics soon, esp the medieval of love that you have mentioned...pretty curious how it looks like

ds_gerl · Aug 9, 2009

candyrock> nice detailed descriptions.... thanks...

waiting to see ur photos soon...

nw with the idea of this couple's medieval of love, at least i'm more convinced to use this theme...

btw, u mentioned abt asking for the wedding couple's permission... so u did asked for their permission??
cos the other time me & my bf went, we din ask wor... our coord also told us to juz go down can ardy... but we went down earlier when they r still dong the setup...

nayuqi · Aug 11, 2009

thanks candyrock. do pm me the link to see the photos too!
im hosting my dinner at ocean ballroom, so from what you have mentioned, gona look forward to the pictures of the enchanted dream

sweetsss · Aug 13, 2009

Hi Candyrock, can u provide me with the link too. Thanks alot.

candyrock · Aug 13, 2009

ok gals...pls be patient with me...i'm waiting to get my lappie back from Sony!

DS_Gerl, we went very early...10.30am for the wedding lucheon and 5.00 for the wedding dinner..but we happened to meet this bridezilla who was rehearsing for her march-in...so i though i'll be all nice and polite to ask for her permission to view the ballroom...she just snapped back at me, "don't disturb the people inside!"....so weird, totally didn't see that coming...i was just asking, she can refuse if it's inconvenient. so better ask first...not every couple like it.

ds_gerl · Aug 13, 2009

candyrock> no worries, we can wait for ur lappie to be ready though we r still anxious to see the pics lah... heheheh...

wah... u really very on leh... so u were ard MS area the whole day loh....

ooo... she's a bridezilla anyway.... so perhaps that's juz her passing remarks =)

the other time we went, the couple were not ard... so we juz see see look look and took some pics then left le... think juz when we were abt to leave then saw the couple coming in for rehearsal...

candyrock · Aug 14, 2009

haha...i'm not very on la...'coz i stay near that area...so i went home before going for the dinner banquet..

bluenceo · Aug 17, 2009

Hi,

Is anyone employing a live band? We are employing a live band (piano, percusionits and vocalist) at Pacific Ballroom. However i was advised by the sound crew not to use the in-house sound. Due to our budget constraint we hope to use the in-house sound but not sure whether the sound will be alright. Rental of audio speakers, mikes and mixerboard will amount up to 450/500 sgd.

blue_cherubim99 · Aug 20, 2009

Hi All --> M new to this forum and glad to see so many Pan Pac BTB here ^^

Joyce> my AD same as u...i'm taking up the Pacific Ballroom ^^

btw, have anyone signed the contract? is the term

blue_cherubim99 · Aug 20, 2009

sorry..clicked too fast...

btw, have anyone signed the contract? is the following term normal for cancellation & postponement charges - 'after signing contract --> 100% of anticipated revenue'?

meaning, i have to pay 100% if i decide to postpone/cancel the function due to whatever reason ??

cherubie> oooo... thn u muz really take care nw.... hope that u will fully recover and be a pretty bride very soon...

18mths prior to event - 30%
12mths prior to event - 50%
8mths prior to event - 75%
3mths prior to event - 100%

blue_cherubim99 · Aug 21, 2009

ds_gerl> thanks for the well wishes

i'm definitely crossing my fingers and praying very hard ... at worst, it's flats for me <sobz> ='(

from the breakdown, i'm in-btwn 3-8 mths period...from hotel pov, i guess it's right to charge me 100% ba...however, from consumer pov ... <speechless>

thanks for sharing, ds_gerl !! you've been a great help !!

sweetsss · Aug 21, 2009

Hi Cherubie > My coordinator did told me before that if it is really due to health problem that your have to postpone the wedding, then Pan Pac may give exception. But it is not state in the contract but was told to me verbally. Hence if your leg really can recover, you can try asking ur coordinator.

ds_gerl · Aug 21, 2009

cherubie> no problem

u dun hv to wear flats… u still can get to wear ur pretty high heels… juz get ur HTB to carry u for the march-in… hahahaha….

come to think of it, I wud rather continue with the wedding as it is ardy in the process… no point postpone or cancel as u will hv to re-plan ur wedding all over again… (date selection, sourcing of venue, pg & vg, etc….) and the ballroom might be available for another date by then….

verena · Aug 21, 2009

DS_Gerl> yes, u're rite...less than 2 mths away....tmw's my food tasting and collection of invitation cards. Will prob print during early Sept. Still designing my church invite at this juncture.

ds_gerl · Aug 21, 2009

vt> I heard printing in JB is much more cheaper than in sg… and they hv a lot of designs for u to choose from…
perhaps u can try there…

I hv a fren who recently had her ROM invites printed there… card with both side colour printing w/ envelope…
the shop name is T&T instant printing services... iirc
it's at city square 2nd top floor.

blue_cherubim99 · Aug 21, 2009

SweetK> yup, u r right..have clarified with my coordinator & he said that they'll review on a case-to-case basis as the date approaches..thanks for the advice

DS_Gerl> ya lo...i was thinking to proceed as well..but my HTB worried lor...coz confirm he can't carry me for the march-in..tried and failed...haha

his weak knees and me heavy... haha

ds_gerl · Aug 21, 2009

cherubie> no worries... take gd care of ur leg now... try to rest more and dun walk too much...

blue_cherubim99 · Aug 22, 2009

DS_Gerl> thanks...will be going for my doc appt next week...hope the x-ray will turn out fine

cross fingers & legs ... haha

ds_gerl · Aug 22, 2009

cherubie> i will help u cross mine too.... kekekeke

verena · Aug 22, 2009

DS_Gerl> Ya, most likely i'll be printing my inserts as well as my church invite there. Goin for my food tasting this evening...so excited...=)

ds_gerl · Aug 22, 2009

vt> ooo..... can gv us reviews on ur food tasting?? and wat menu hv u chosen??

verena · Aug 24, 2009

alamak...i was told that my co-ordinated Ivan has resigned and left for US.....and Linda will be my co-ordinator....but hv not received any email/phone call from her....this is not good...

toottoot · Aug 24, 2009

Gosh!!! Is this true? I was talking to him on the phone 2 wks ago and had even made an appt with him in Oct. Oh dear..this is nt good...who told u this news...I wasnt informed of that

verena · Aug 24, 2009

when i went for food tasting on Sat, the chef told me....he says they were also only informed that day....sighz

toottoot · Aug 24, 2009

Oh my god..Well I hope there's no hiccups with the change of hands.

ds_gerl · Aug 25, 2009

ladies> sad to hear that ivan has left and yet they did not u pre-inform u gals...

vt> not to worry... my coord is linda... perhaps it was a last minute decision that's y she din contact u.... she's a nice lady... u will be in good hands with her...

verena · Aug 25, 2009

DS_Gerl> dyu hv linda's email? Maybe i'll drop her a mail

ds_gerl · Aug 25, 2009

vt> hv PM u in multiply

verena · Aug 26, 2009

DS_Gerl> thanks for the email. Have emailed Linda

ds_gerl · Aug 26, 2009

vt> no problem.... hope that she will be overloaded by the change of hands & she will contact u soon =)

do let me kw if u need any help

puppylove · Aug 27, 2009

I just contacted Pan Pac sales catering site. I was informed that Ivan did not resign, he's just on long leave and will be back 14 Sept.

Can clarify with him again when he's back..

verena · Aug 27, 2009

Linda called me just now to clarify that Ivan didn't resign. I wonder how much the chef told me a different story...and the food tasting form he had indicated that co-ordinator is changed to linda.

puppylove · Aug 27, 2009

probably ivan was not around and linda simply assisted him to oversee the food tasting part..

verena · Aug 27, 2009

Ivan told me he's going on holiday during this 7th month so I do know that he won't be ard during food tasting. But what the chef said was a shock to us, that's why I had to clarify with Linda.

ds_gerl · Aug 27, 2009

vt> i believe there might be some miscommuniation with the chef side bah...

since linda has ardy clarified that ivan hasn't left pan pac... it shld be true...
