u are right.. we have to pay for the 50% deposit one mth before the wedd dinner.. for my contract, it is also stated this way. we hv also paid up for the $3000 deposit.. But, i think the 50% deposit can be negiotate for lower percent with ur co-ordinator if you really have problem to come up with this cash.
Hi nisiel,
yaya, keep us updated of the upcome of ur negotiation.
50% is indeed alot of upfront cash. But as I'll be paying thru credit card on that actual day, the advantage of paying this 50% is I need not increase my credit card limit too high as I still duno what's the max credit card company is willing to increase the limit to.
Any idea if I can request the second projector and screen to be placed at the centre (I still prefer the stage at the end of the ballroom)? Is the charges that you mentioned applicable to the setting that I required? Or it is lesser?
You mean u want one projector at the end and one projector in the centre? I not sure you have to email them to enquire. Btw if you want to rent screen they also provide too but the price is $120. Fyi, the splitter and the projector is different company. As the projector company they doesnt have splitter.
hi joline,
if u are referring to ocean ballroom then i dont tink its wise for u just have one projector shooting at the centre of the ballroom. guests from the side will be block.
Dear Qing,
I have sent you an email as I am interested to get the stage in the centre. Can we arrange for the contractor to go down to Pan Pac and test it out and make sure it works? I have been asking my brother to find a contractor for me and he has been delaying that. It will be nice and assuring if I can find one by myself. Thanks.
Hi Qing,
Pan Pac will definately allow us to test it before the AD. I will call them and check when I can go down and test it. Once i get the date, i will email your contacts and see if the time can fit into their schedule or not. Thanks..
Qing & Ying,
I might be interested, cos maybe I wanna place the stage at the centre as well, tonight will go down for deco and theme discussion and see how.
Qing,
After discussion with the coordinators, I am also interested to get the extra projector and splitter, could u email me the contact.
lfc,
My themes for my ballroom have not been out, so I havent selected my ballroom theme yet, for wedding favour, the have the bears, the paper clip wedding bells, popurri but not photo frame.
Hi Icy & Qing,
I call up the PanPac coordinator, he was telling me can only let me try the splitter and projector one week before my wedding. My AD is on 19 Jine, which means i can only test it from 12 june onwards...
Hi Qing,
Icy's wedding is earlier than mine, early week of June. So, I think we can go down the testing with her. But the thing is she is using Pacific Ballroom but I am using Ocean Ballroom. But the logic is the same. If it can work in Pacific Ballroom, then Ocean shouldn't have any problem.
Hi Lilacblur,
Try Kevin. Super professional, eloquet and prompt. You will be happy working with him. But he speaks with a slang lah. But that slang is not "fake" slang...like Rachel (The female cast from an eye for a guy). Hahahhaha..
just to check with you, u using the Ocean BR rite? how you find the lightings har? i like that room too except for the lightings.. looks like office lights to me
qing & ying,
after discussion with hb, we decide to borrow a projector from hb's company (FOC) and then pay $50 for the splitter and cabling which will be easier for me, becos it is from my own videographer. I am still considering becos I remember the side screens are smaller than the screen at the end of the ballroom.. so I have to confirm again.
Hi Lilacblur..
For me, ocean ballroom lightings are alright. I think they are brighter. Ha..i cant do much on the lights. I think in general, not many people will take note too.
Hi Icy,
Lucky you. My videorgrapher does not have the splitter and cabling. Do you think we can borrow the splitter and cables from your videographer instead? I also do not need the projector.
Hi Qing,
Other than the splitter, we need cables of at least 15 m to connect the two projectors. Does your lobang provides the cables too? I really like my stage to be in the centre but its getting very troublesome...
ying11,
I am not sure abt the pricing then, but he also mentioned to be that I must make sure that the projector have RCB inputs else the splitter cant be used.. else total rental from him, including projector will be $200 - but then it is like more safe and confirm it will work.
qing & ying.
I will check with my videographer if they does provide just rental of splitter, cables and installtion for people who do not use their videography service.
I chose M hotel cos it looks new and I quite like the ballroom. Besides, there's a jacuzzi in the bridal suite! Personally, I feel that the bridal suite PP offer looks just like two bedrooms combined into 1. It's next to nothing compared to Swissotel...Imagine, PP bathroom is so small while Swissotel has a sauna in the bathroom! I dunno how to describe but it's defintely is MUCH nicer. Besides, PP bridal suite dun even have a balcony...sigh. The price also reasonable too...
But my FH dun like cos he finds the ceiling too low and the place is not near to MRT.
Dear Qing,
Ya, I spoke to Royston and his cable is only about 5m which is not long enough. Worse come to worse, I may have to place the stage at the end cos i went and asked around, most of them quoted me around $250+ too. I left this part to my husband as i am not IT-savy. See, what he can do at end of the day.
Icy,
It will be so good if your videographer can rent to us. But doubt he will do that unless we engaged him.
Qing,
Yes, $200 includes projector, spiltter, cabling and installtion. I am not sure if he knows that he need long cables, but I assume he should know bah.. since he also asked me which ballroom I am using. I will email u my package.
hi icy, thank so much for your help
$200 is quite a reasonable price
haha hope he really know =)
hi ying11, ya hope icy videographer will rent to us. i will speak to him and see how coz i might want his service as i looking for videographer too
have u found urs?
Hi Qing,
I have found my videographer. Too bad, he does not have the splitter and cabling. Wow, will be good if Icy's videpgrapher can rent to me. I do not mind picking up the things from him. Could you call him and let me know? He doesn't need to help me install. I can get the hotel technician to install that for me.
hi Qing...
Ya, hotel can help us to set-up. My videographer offers very cheap rate. You can go to his website at http://www.y*ppiesproduction.com/
Replace * with "a".
