actually, she told me that the suite will be ready in October...
tiewster, how many tables will you be having? For me, I have only 30 odd tables... so, the smaller one will be enough...
You guys have any "theme" for your actual day?

Hi skylar,
I got a list of videgraphers (someone emailed me) with me. If you are interested, I can share with you.
Felicia was saying, they are going to connect 2 rooms to become one "stand-by" bridal suite. Of course, if you had seen the real suite before, this is nothing comparable. Not sure how she will "compensate" you guys. But according to tiewster, he will be taking a normal deluxe room and then once the new bridal suite is ready, he can go back to use it for one night.
Care to share with me on your theme for your AD? Did you engage a wedding planner? When is your AD?
I will be having slideshow before and during the dinner. My plan is to have the slideshow for the studio and outdoor PS (not going to put the album out). And then during the dinner, will play a slideshow on what happened in the morning when the groom go and get the bride. Maybe will have a slideshow on our childhood pictures also.

tiewster,
you better bargain with Felicia for the suite thingy. I sent the contract back to her the other day coz she accidently mentioned that the wedding cards are INCLUSIVE of printing. I got her to change the FOC American Breakfast to Lunch (don't think can manage to wake up for breakfast) and asked for another normal room for whoever wants to stay that nite... The other time, she refused to give me the room... So, you guys can ask for it...
For the theme thingy... Some people will have themes like "retro night" (guests will have to dress up in 60's clothing)...etc... and also whether the table cloth matches with stage...etc... then will have matching balloons...etc....

Hi skylar
I am engaging a photographer for my AD... and in her package, it includes in the slide show thingy... I must say it's quite a good deal.. If you want, I can forward the quote to you...
Which theme you using?
I have not really think about this yet coz my AD is still far far away... hee hee...
Felicia said the printing of cards is only around $150 if I use their in-house printer... So, which card did you guys choose?? I must say that their invitation cards do not look very impressive...
As for the gift, I think I will choose the chopsticks.. Maybe will buy other wedding favours outside also..

hi starfruit12,
The manager in-charge is Felicia.
I heard from her the others are more like doing out-door sales. If you want, I can pass you her number.
I just went for a wedding dinner 2 weeks back... The food is not bad and the portion is huge... As for the ambience, I love the candles which were along the aisle when the couples marched in... and on every table, they had tea light candle.. very romantic...
I advise you to go down and take a look at the ballroom yourself...

Hi
Due to some unexpected changes, I would like to transfer my 2004 package. If possible, it can be arranged for 2005 (according to 1 of the coordinator). Have already paid a deposit of $2k. I would like to have it transferred for $1500.
Anyone interested, pls email me [email protected]. Many thanks!

Hello starfruit,
U visited Plaza already?
How is it??
Hello Phinx,
When I signed the contract with Plaza, Felicia claimed that I have to pay $2,940 as the deposit (so that the Finance Dept can pay the GST easier)... wondering why is it that you can choose to pay $2,000... hee hee...

Hi Gladys,
I signed up beginning of the year, cos supposedly getting married end of the year. Tats y i think the deposit differs from you gals.
Anyway, there wont be a wedding anymore, so I'm really hoping to be able to transfer just the Deposit at neg sum to any couple who's planning for their Big Day ! Else, I gotta pay the penalty...

Hi Gladys,
Did you sign up with Felicia also?
For my contract, it mentioned inclusive of printing also... but we brought it back to Felicia so that she can amend... haha...
Then we asked for extra room for the AD night (for my family) and she gave it to us...
We also changed the breakfast to lunch coz we know we sure can't wake up on time to eat... haha...
I have yet to visit the bridal suite... coz it's going to be renovated, no point for me to see also...

Actually I asked for another night of stay in the bridal suite... but Felicia said she's afraid that there will be another wedding on the day after mine... which I think it's not possible... So, I asked for another room... hee hee....
We can hold her liability for the printing of card... since it's her mistake to put that down in the contract.... but my FH said Felicia is such a nice lady, we shouldn't do that to her... haha....

that time, when we went down to sign the contract on a Sat... we spent an hour talking about the contract and the next 2 hours was spent on listening to Felicia's "childhood till grown up" stories.... haha....
Must say that she's a very frank and honest lady... Really told us lots of her personal stuff.... We are so at ease with her...

Oh... u haven't went down to talk to her about the contract stuff yet?
U seen the ballroom already? I think if you are taking next yr's package, then there won't be any free flow of beer...
When I asked for the quotation that time, she also sent me the 2005 package... only when I went down to see her, she told me that the 2004 package is still valid, that was why we signed up with Plaza Hotel within a week....
limy, don't worry...
I am sure Felicia will help you with what she can...

nope, I haven't went down to the hotel itself.
Me and my FH shortlisted Traders and Rendezvous initally but heard -ve comments from friends and pple in the forum. I saw your comments on Rend's food at the other thread...
So I'm looking for alternative and came across Plaza Parkroyal.
As we only have around 16 tables and a budget of $600 to 750, it's no easy to look for a suitable hotel.

to me, i think that service is very impt & furthermore not forgetting that we are the one paying leh, not cheap also... & yet this kind of service to us?? Give me a break!!
then i complained to their HR & later they called us up to fix up another appt but i told them straight, dun bother ...
just my 2 cents worth lor...

Thanks butter, I called Carlton up for their package and arranging to go down this sat...hope everything will go well
butter n skylar,
my FH doesn't want restaurant and is very resistant to it. Partially becos he afraid when people hear that it's a restaurant, they will not give that much for ang bao as compared to hotel.
so I got no choice...
I met with Rend's banquet manager, Denny, last week. Find him quite friendly and comfortable to deal with. Except till the later part of the discussion he started to stare blankly out of the window half way through a conversation. As I was back facing the window, I can't see what he was looking at...
that aside, he was very flexible with the perks and I get to work personnely with the florist on the deco...

hi limy
after attending a banquet at plaza hotel and hotel rendezvous recently. I find that both hotels have got their pros and cons...
for hotel rendezvous, I love the ballroom decoration... they have tea light candles hanging around.. damn romantic... but food wise, it was so-so and the portion was small... imagaine after the dinner, i can still say that I am hungry!!!
for plaza hotel, food portion was huge! find it abit too much liao... the ambience was okie... maybe can get them to dim the lights more during the march in so as to get those more romantic feelings...
as for carlton, i feel that the ballroom ceiling is too low... other than that, heard the food is great and services also good...
