hi jane... actually mine is on a weekday.. actually weekday oso has its advantages like pple tend to arrive earlier and you can start your dinner on time... and pple would not drink much wine & beer and you can save lotsa wine from ther liao... keke...
so how's ur decision... u cfm with CPHS liao? or u have other alternative venues? coz saw frm the website the promo ended las fri rite?
right now i very slack... haven plan my guest list and haven even went to try my gowns yet...

Hi See See, I have just booked my BS last week and I'm selecting my flat in 3 weeks time. I'm gonna be very busy over this whole preparation, still enjoying the process. I've not gone into the details like choosing the WG & EG, house reno etc. My BS said i'll need to start working out the design of my MTM WG after CNY and I have to start flipping through magazine's photos for any design that I like.
Hi Jane, I've been to a few weekday dinners. Frankly speaking, for weekdays, the mood is not as good as weekends, the guest are not as enthusiastic. But one thing good is you don't get much roudy scenes and dinner will not end too late as pple want to go back earlier. As for attendance wise,it's very much depends on your guest. Of cos the risk is higher. There's one friend of mine who's wedding on a weekday. They have 1-2 table of guest who turn up at 9 plus. But if u take CPHS, which is much more convenient than many other venues, the turn out rate might be higher. That's my own opinion...

H penny, thanks for your feedback. I'm thinking of weekday coz the weekends I wanted are taken up. I'm considering holiday inn, m hotel and grand hyatt as well. But grand hyatt may be out coz they just raised their prices.So when's your AD? I haven't even tot about my gown yet... This venue searching is driving me nuts.
Hi little lamb, thanks for your feedback. I'm just worried that it'll be too much of a hassle to my helpers if the wedding is on a weekday but I dun have many days to choose from due to my work schedule. I guess I'll really have to follow up on the RSVP closely if I wanna plan it on a weekday.

Hi all,
Nice to meet everyone here. I am new to this site. I will be having my banquet at ballroom in June 05 too. Hope that we can get to share the nice food and wedding flavour. The only outstanding things are getting photographer, renting of car and gown/suit on the AD. Any recommendation? I had taken my bridal shots in overseas.

LittleLamb, i had my wedding during weekday, attendance rate still very good. The guests arrived by 8.15pm and we started the dinner by 8.35pm. It all depends on your RSVP, of cos i also have 2-3 whom din turn up. Still open one reserve table tat day.
The only day abt weekday is the guests might go off earlier cos they have to work the next day.

Hi SeeSee,
I can't wait to go for my food tasting... heard so many good comments from the previous brides... Must update us on your food tasting later okie?
What happened with Chan Brothers? I've been to quite a few tour with them before. So far so good. Except for last year when I bought an tic from them and there's some mistake in the itinery they provided. I'm still seeking compensation from them. But actually it's not their fault, it's the system fault.
NZ is a nice place for honeymoon. I went last year with my HTB and his siblings. If u need any info can jus let me know, I'll try my best to recall.
Haven't plan for my honeymoon yet. Too many things to do... I'll be getting my house keys soon and I still have not selected my contractor... sigh... headache..
Hi penny,
How's your preparation?

Hi SeeSee,
If I were u I oso will be v sad. Did u pay for any deposit for that? If there's receipt stating the package quoted, maybe can complain to NATAS. Anyway, it's their fault and they have to bear the responsibility.
Last time I also encountered a similar case with another agency. The agent gave me a discount when it's not supposed to be. They only found out after I've paid up fully and it's only few days before my trip. They threatened to cancel my trip if i refuse to pay them the discount. I was very mad and argued with them. Finally, we agreed to a half-half settlement. The guy who made the mistake have to pay for half the discount offered. Maybe u can try to talk to them again.
Hi Zen,
You can try calling Wendy at 67301503. She is a very girl. When is your AD?

hi all,
i've just gone for my food tasting. overall happy with the food.
i've got crown prince deluxe combinations for 1st dish(intend to change the california maki rolls & the shark's fin omelette to something else),
then braised superior shark's fin soup with crabmeat & conpoy(they serve me somethin else... so cant really comment but should b nice.),
crispy roast chicken with prawn crackers(chicken quite dry),
sauteed king prawns(must reconsider cos it's diffcult for those ladies to peel the shells, might dirty their dress),
braised abalone with sea cucumber & mushroom(very salty other than tat it's ok),
steamed garoupa with light soy sauce(not much comment on this cos personally dont really like eating fish plus the previous dish is salty that makes me feel like drinking water rather than eating the fish lor),
sauteed scallops with asparagus in XO sauce(very nice, it's spicy),
seafood noodles &
double boiled snow fungus with lotous seed, red dates & lily bulbs(going to change to yam paste).
saw both the red n the ivory wedding card already. red looks much better. ivory is too plain.
hope this info is useful to u all.

Hi SeeSee,
Yum yum, glad to hear that the food is good. You must have enjoyed the meal and ate to your fullest. How's the portion of the food? Was thinking of bringing more than 10 pax cos my ppls don't eat a lot.
Didn't know we can change the dishes outside from the package menu. Do you know if we can change it even during food tasting?

Hi pearl,
There's nothing much to ask from her. They seems to be very strict. If you can see all the previous brides from Crown Prince, they didn't managed to get anything extra but maybe you can try to exchange your items. Like for me, I exchanged my helper's room to a free upgrade of food tasting.
