Hi spoiltbabe... hahaha... counting down the last days of singlehood. I'm more than happy to share with you the restaurant preps I had thus far
I asked Pamela when would be a good time for food tasting, and based on her feedback did it last month. Qing Ming & weekday so the restaurant was quiet.
We had our hearts on the maroon tie backs (gold for VIP) since the first time tt we were there. After food tasting Pamela showed me the new wedding favours, so we have selected the glass coasters. More practical.
T-Dragon has a huge selection of invites. You can really go blur! Hahahaha... It was quite fun and we were very fast... Selected the card in like 30min. T-Dragon has contracts with many restaurants/hotels, so there's usually quite a crowd. We went there to select our card early Sat morning (they open at 10am) where there were lesser people.

Hi spoiltbabe and LSnTYL... we popped in on Sat morning as well. I didn't know we had to make appt. Anyway we were printing our own inserts, so we were very fast.
Eh... Glass coasters are new. No more chopsticks (I had wanted that one cos it's practical). There's still the bears, chocs. There's also a small little ceramic holder. So small until your guests probably won't know what to do with it.
Sorry no idea about the capital card. Maybe you can call and ask?

I want to use UOB to get points too. Last time I used to write in for temp credit increase but now they tell me it's better to call. So funny. I thought writing in is more sincere. Hopefully UOB grants me my credit.

yes they have... but it's charged at a different rate.
Hi,
just want some opinion.. For solemnization, do you gals think it is nicer to do it on the stage or outside the private room lift lobby?
Anyone who has done it outside the lift lobby and has any photos to share? Thanks so much!

Hi, I am going to have my banquet at PJ in Dec '08. Both SO and I really like PJ, except for one concern. We are kinda concerned that the guests sitting at the back might not be able to view the screening of the montage & video highlights properly. I still have not physically seen the size of the white screen or how the screen would look when it is placed on the stage. When I previously went down to view the place ,I managed to see the wedding setup, but I didnt get to see the screen as there was no montage/video screening on that day.
I would like to know if viewing the screen for guests sitting behind would pose as a problem. Hope someone can advise on this. Thanks!
Hi mstomrs, I personally think it would be nice to do it on the stage. you can take a look at the solemnization setup in PJ's website. It looks nice.

Hi gals, thanks for sharing. =)
Spoiltbabe, what time is your solemnization? I too feel conscious to solemnize under too many watchful eyes that's y decided to choose the function room and solemnize at the lift lobby.
However, come to think of it, I realize the stage is so much prettier. *headache* I have only 2 tables. How about you?

wah..that's early! I heard from Peony Jade that they onli have 2 timeslots for solemnization on stage. i.e. 1130am or 1230pm.
Actually you have 25 tables means you already bao the whole restaurant..so don't need to be too pai seh about solemnizing infront of others already

Coolz... I won't be at the restaurant till 4+... It's less than a month away and I'm getting pretty nervous about it. Now trying to arrange a time with Pamela to do the sound/projector tests.
we should be long gone by then. Don't be nervous. I'm sure everything will go well.
Oh, do you know what kind of music format our songs can be in? MP3 ok or do you need the original CD? Which hotel are you going for? FH and I still can't quite decide. We like Conrad but its further from PJ...

From what I gather, they only have normal CD player. Mp3 music would have to be played on your laptop. I'm practising Melvin's Law by having both mp3 and wav format which is playable on normal CD players. I had my own CD compilation burnt.
I wanted Conrad too but in the end took on Merchant Court cos of proximity...
Haiz... oh well... what's done cannot be undone.

Hi, I was a PJ bride
Their player does play MP3 but it takes awhile to read. U might want to prepared my march-in, first course and champagne pouring music in audio CD format and background music in MP3 - cos it can contain more songs.
I chose Conrad and have no regrets! The room was big and spacious and the service excellent! They went all out to help u as a bridal couple even though u are not holding your banquet at the hotel itself.

Hi sleepycat_2... thanks for your tips! Does the CD player only play one disc at a time or can it hold multiple discs?

Hi serene, I dun remember if the player supports more than 1 disc at a time...

cheer up, kachina...
depending on how much wine ur guests consume, it might turn out to be more worth it than a free hotel room...

Ooo... I would go for the free flow of wine anytime... It's definitely more worthwhile than the hotel stay. Think abt it. They charge per bottle between $22-26++. One night stay at Merchant Court/Conrad is approx $300-$350 these days? You only need to open 10-15 bottles to break even.
Haiya... Why didn't they decide on this part earlier... Mine still has hotel stay lor...

That is wat they return u in cash but I think a hotel stay would def cost more than that esp when u are talking abt Conrad...

They do get promotion rates, but yea... more than $200. But will a hotel like Conrad still allow for PJ to book with them during F1? Guess that's a little sidetracked...
I need to fax my seating plan to PJ by end of this week. Stress stress liao...

opps.. paiseh i mean free flow of beer
Wine is still @ per bottle abt $22++...
anyway we're thinking of holding a wedding lunch and dinner on the same day @ PJ as we prob have more than 30 tables and we really like the coziness
But my bf is worried that if we have lunch for friends and relatives for dinner:
1) the ang baos will be lesser since it's lunch although the lunch will come up to be ard $700+ per table depending on our chosen menu
2) some of the friends might not be able to make it as they might have to work
3) it will be tiring for us since we will have to work 2 shifts and no hotel for us to rest in-between
what do you all think?
