PPgroom,
if that's your budget, i've one recommendation... my videographer is providing me with 2 days videography plus AD photography for around $900plus... so you can take a package from them... bcos of this, i've 2 AD photographers for my AD... cos when we negotiated, i've already signed with the other photographer (whom i really like his works)... furthermore, it's only a deduction of $150 if i were to take out the AD photography from the package... me and hubby greedy for more, so say why not lor...?
his photography consists of unlimited digital shots, with 300 prints... you can request for journalistic style, but of cos dun expect those albert chua standard lor...
i dun have his actual rates.. i managed to get this deal bcos of something (but that's another story altogether)... if you want, when i next meet up with him (in mid apr) i can check for you... he's not in town rite now...

Hi all,
I am 99% confirmed on using Pacific Ballroom at PP, i went to see the setup just now..but just dun like the lightings at Ocean Ballroom.
I saw the settings at Pacific ballroom, got the romantic feel.. and prefer the stage setup.
heehee but I will also be prepared to share the foyer.
anyone used PB and have to share foyer?
Anyway, I am curious abt the wines.. the coordinator told me that they are selling at about $50. I am super shock! Any ideas roughly how much wine we will need for 30 tables?

Hi Icy,
A bottle of wine serve 4 glasses, depend on ur guests' consumpion level. Since we have free flow of beer & definitely will serve hard liquor, 1 bottle for each table should b enuf. Try to get 36 bottles corkage wavier coz if exceed we may need to pay $20+++ for per bottle. Get the wine from outside, u may get the wine at less than $20.

Hi Feroy,
2 days AD photography Plus Videography only $900, wow price so good ah? I found videography & photography $1400. I have met up with 2 AD photographers separately, both of them charging about $800 - $850 for AD photography. Videographer price range from $800 - $2000++++.
Pls let us know the quote from your photographer & videographer. Thanks.
Getting married is extremely expensive. They all out to kill....Ha Ha

PPgroom,

gigi,
not too sure if it's less than $900 cos mine's for AD only too, except that my dinner's on another day... i'll check for u and let u know ya? for video u jus need the basics, ie. 1 wedding MTV of the entire wedding or would u need things like xpress highlights to be screened during the dinner?

Hi all,
I intend to take up the Ocean package with Pan Pacific too and sign the contract with them on this Thursday. Most of the dates on Sat are all taken up. All the way till Dec 2005, wah! Mine will be in May 05 then..initially looking at June 05.
I went to see the Ocean room yesterday. Its very nice. Also, thanks for sharing your ideas. At least, I know what to ask for.
For my actual day photographer, my BS charge me $30 per roll of film. No service charge. So, guess will most likely take this with them because of budget constraints.

Hi Icy,
Actually, what does AD stands for? If you are talking about my customary, I plan to have it on 7 May 05 as that is the only date that is not taken up. How about you?
Anyone experience a bad turnout one day before Mother Day? I am so afraid that I will have bad attendance on that day.
Also, heard that the food is not from Hai Tien Lou but its from their own cathering kitchen. Hope that the food is good.
Lastly, can anyone tell me what theme is nice for photography?
Thanks...

Hi ying11
You hv voiced out my thoughts abt the cathering kitchen. Tis is because i used to work in a hotel too. They hv their own catering kitchen and part time cooks. The cooks & assistant cooks are paid at an hourly rate. But of coz there is a full time banquet chief.

Hi PPgroom,
I also blur already abt the chef cos I saw ying post. *blur* Since ur coordinator told you that the chef from Hai Tian Lo, then should be quite safe. Phew!
Hi feroy,
Ya, my coordinator also Juliana, very hard to contact her nowadays.. but I understand that she very busy.. i am still trying to contact her abt the contract.

Hi all,
I'll go and check it out once again. That's what Sarah from Pan Pac told me that that for actual day dinner, they have their own cathering kitchen. But for sampling of food, guess will be at Hai Tien Lou. I'll check with her on that again as she is out for lunch now.
Will let you know soon.
Hey, spoken to Juliana. She's very nice and helpful. Icy, you will have a great wedding.

Hi all,
Latest lunch news that I heard from my colleague who attended the wedding recently were:
1. Ocean room is too cramp for 32 tables. Comfortable size would be 25 tables.
2. Waitress talks to the guests..like why sharksfins is sooo expensive, etc. Talks too much, I suppose. Haha...
3. Lastly, the waiters/waitresses serve every guests. What I mean is they will put the dish on the table, and them scoop and serve individual portion. At such, service is quite slow.
4. Waiters/Waitresses kept on changing glasses. This irritates my colleague the most.
Hope this helps and that you may like to alert your coor on actual day.

Hi all,
Ha, spoken to Sarah just now..She transferred me to Johnny as I think she wasn't quite sure on the cathering part.
Johnny told me that the chef for both food tasting and actual day is from Hai Tien Lou BUT they prepare the food at their Banquet Kitchen. Thats the difference.
So sorry for the confusion. In short, the best part is Chef is from Hai Tien Lou. Yea...
Hope this helps. Also, Johny told me that for Ocean Room, they have 2 themes namely Zen 1 & Zen 2.
If you like, can go and check out this sat as they are having Zen 2 theme.

Yar, that's what my colleague told me. She went for the dinner and they had 32 tables and its quite cramp. I did not see it but its her feedback.
But do not worry so much...sometimes the more cramp it is, it will create better atmosphere.
But, do not go beyond 35 tables. It will be definately too cramp. Check with Johnny, he is the expert.

Hahhaha..PPgroom
That's what I thought so...but she finds them irritating. Normally, just top up drinks will be enough. But they practically went to the extent of changing the whole glass. Hahaha...
Also, yar..They have 1 waiter for 1 table which I am most happy about.
So guys, me going to sign with them this Thurs. Is it okay if my AD is just one day before Mother's day? If you were one of the guest, would you come?
Also, I am so blur..What are the preparation thus far for all?

ying,
i'd go for the dinner, esp if you're a close fren... cos i celebrate mother's day on the actual day... maybe wat u can do is to inform your guests a bit earlier, at least 1 month ahead (actually this is the norm for sending out wedding cards already) very few ppl will make their mother's day plans a month ahead, so it shld be fine...
