Hi all,
I just came back to this forum and am surprised to see this tread growing.
Yvonne,
I hope this doesn't come too late. Actually, you should have stick to pp instead if you really like the ballrm so much. Well, let me clear all doubts you have first ok.
Firstly, $650 was for 8 course dinner but eventually I confirmed $670 for 9 course and yup she gave me 2x20l barrel beer. Frankly speaking, I doubt she will give you such a deal cos, you know what, my wedding is exactly one year before yours (which is coming soon) and I just confirmed with her recently, so can say my confirmation is an added bonus to her, so the better deal lor.
Still, you can try talking to her. Trust me she is actually very nice to talk to. I personally don't find her yaya leh in fact I find her naturally, you know the way you chat with a friend, you wouldn't sit up straight right.
In term of work, she quite pro also, gave me the same good attitude after confirmation and always manage to do follow up.
To solve your problem with her, maybe you can express to her your level of interest and becos MM is able to give you good offer thats why hubby and you are holding back. Tell her that your main concern is those wine and your budget of $680 is inclusive of wine consumption and therefore ask if she could waive or lower the charge, tell her the truth that if she can't do that then you'll really have to consider MM cos of the free flow beer, you can use the 'so call' free flow beer money to pay for the wine. Maybe after hearing all this, she can better understand your postition and who knows, you might be surprised.
Also, its better to talk to her over the phone, so that she can check with her colleagues and feedback later, and best of all, you wouldn't feel so pai seh right. I myself bargained with her so many times that she tell me "tou long lah, please dun bargain already ok, pai tuo, pai tuo." hehee.
Sorry to offend anyone if I did but I feel it wouldn't be too nice to change the co-ordinator cos they will come to know abt it eventually. exp 1, Waileng will block that date which you requested untill someone request for it and if Candy got the request, Candy will first check with Waileng if her client still need the ballroom and therefore they will somehow get to know that they are dealing with the same person. exp 2, Tell Candy straight that you spoke to Waileng and didn't like her attitude and therefore you requested for her to help you and if she accepted your offer, she shouldn't be someone nice too.
Anyway, if you have confirmed MM, I'm happy for you too. Remember though, do bargain hard before confirming anything ok.
Hi Corica & tnp,
I've confirmed the mixture of candle & garden theme and was given a choice to use either one single 12" long gold candle in the midst of the flower centrepiece or several tealights candles surrounding the flower centrepiece. Which do you think is better? Also what colour flower do you think is better?
Wow! very long-winded hor.
