hi Paulinena, not sure of the wine name but harmonica did mention is Resso Leggero merlot in her message.
I have yet to receive my contract as well though already paid the deposit back in jan. I called them to enquire and their response is that the person who is in charge of the contract drafting (MD think is Paulne?) is currently busy so not able to send us the contract but with the deposit paid and receipt received, the date is confirmed booked and all terms is as per discussed.

The wine offered for house wine is Rosso Leggero and Bianco Leggero, it's a very light merlot and sauvigion blanc respectively(its from Maule Valley, Chilean Wine). You should be able to get more details from here. The redleaf Aussie wine set from WineBos that was reccomended to me by a guy in WineBOS costs 29.50 if u take from PJ directly.
http://www.winebos.com/shopcart/wineshopwiz.htm
According to the staff at winebos, its rather light. Best for u to try the wine at the tasting, as its the pairing with the food that's impt.
As for the contract, to prevent any misunderstanding due to the recent changes in their terms and pricing(due to the GST hike), I would suggest you do the negotiating via email. Records can be kept and brought up if either side forgets abt something.

Hi lovelytulips, basically for wine wise, its often more expensive to get even from winebos if you include in the corkage. Wine is very subjective, so I would suggest u and ur partner go down to WineBOS itself and drink the wine tasting. Dun go with too heavy or full-bodied wine as it overpowers the chinese style cuisine most of the time.
My favourite if no budget would be pinot noir. As my friend said, wine is very subjective. Up to ur own taste buds.

Hi all,
So far I and my partner have had a bad experience in dealing with PJ so far in terms of discussion of contract. After the deposit was paid, the attitude of the personnel was disappointing to say the least. Even the contracts we requested had the wrong timing, wrong deposit amt and no mention of the terms or a large difference to the terms we had agreed upon some time back.
After the deposit was paid, a 180 degree change in attitude is what irks us. We will go ahead due to time crunch, but for future couples choosing PJ, be careful with your negotiations. Insist on black and white esp before u sign the contract and especially deposit.
Rant over, had to get this off my chest. I hate it when happy events like this are spoiled by such issues.

Hi Harmonica, don't be too upset. Don't spoil your happy mood. Who was your coordinator? The person whom you were negoiating before placing the deposit? My coordinator and the person who is doing the contract are 2 different person.
Hi oshgosh, what details do you need? I also just got their contract. My deposit was placed in Jan. They were prob busy with the festive season thus no time ba. But they did mentioned that whatever discussed had been documented in the reservation form so is confirmed.

As Meow mention, ususally a draft contract will be send to you 1st (to make sure every terms is right) before the mail out the actual contract. I only liase with Pauline, any question I will just email her.
Fow us, most likely will be getting the wine from WineBos cause PJ is getting from them as well and PJ dont charge us for corkage we can save a few dollars per bottle. haha

Hi all...
I received the draft contract last week and managed to nego the wines to $18++ instead of their selling price of $20++. Actually requested for $20nett but Lydia offered me $18++ instead.
Other than that, everything else in the contract is fine and will go ahead as planned.

Hi blurblur, have you gone for your food tasting? I was told that during food tasting, they will advise accordingly for things like deco, wedding favors, invitation cards etc. So you probably will know then how the invitation card should be arranged.

Hi Blurblur, I was told that food tasting is 3-4 months before actual day cos you will need time to prepare the invitation cards.
Hi lovelytulips, the food tasting is not related to the invitation cards which can be done separately. Free food tasting is up to 6 ppl, additional person cost 30 per pax. Quite good liao, considering other places like noble house you have to pay upfront.
usually 1-2 mth in advance for food tasting.

so we can reconfirm the number of tables,rental of projector, wedding favours, invitation cards etc all on the food tasting day itself?
adopted from the contract draft:
<complimentary invitation cards for up to 70% of the guaranted attendance but excluding cost of printing of inserts & ribbons.
Please visit T Dragon at #03-13 Excelsior Shopping Centre, 5 Coleman Street, Tel: 6 292 8338/63335761 to make your selection. (Just mention that you will be hosting your wedding with us and they will bill us accordingly.)>
I suppose u do not need to wait till food tasting day, u may send an email to Pauline or Pamela to answer yr queries.

Just pay T-Dragon a visit(just besides funan IT Mall. They will help you to select everything and then send you the template via email. Remember to check everything is in order before u confirm the order via email. The costs will be billed to PJ and will be counted in the final bill.
It takes abt 2 weeks to print the cards after confirmation, so its quite independent of the tasting.

Hi lovelytulips,
it will be better for u to make appointment with them for food tasting in case they r not avaliable or there might be an event going on tat day.
Regarding abt the dishes.. I have heard abt the 1st and last dish cant b tasted.. but don know abt the reason.. mayb u could ask them abt the reason or could make exception for u.. I also want to try all dishes to make sure they r the ones I want!

They also made a huge mistake. I had booked a dinner banquet but they stated it as a lunch reception in the contract!!!! I waited 2.5 mths for the contract and they made such a big mistake. Luckily the dinner is not taken yet. Just imagine someone had taken the slot that I wanted......
