hi gals,
have a successful wedding nite on thou there are some hiccups..
i was unable to go for the rehersal.. need to do my makeup n hairdo..
but my hubby, brothers & sister did a great job wifout mi to worry abt anything... most important.. my montage, 1st march in, 2nd march in n champange pouring is a great success..
i really enjoy my wedding diner...
though like wat Jlyn say, the condensation of the water vapour on the air con due to the opening of the glass door in the stamford room. As there is oni mi & my hubby wedding therefore no worried abt the guest going to the wrong ballroom... due to some games that we play, we hav our last table to table photo taking during the dessert. veri pack..
Feedback from the guest. The banquet staff veri rush.. they haven finish eating 1 dish n they already asked whether can clear the dish for the next dish.. my friend even complain to the banquet manager abt the staff rushing them to finish the food. the manager said is due to weekday as the staff wanted to get home early.. wat a lame excuse.. our contract stated from 7pm to 11pm n they r rushing them to finish off even before 10pm. Anyway, that nite we really play till veri "feng" n really end the whole banquet at 11pm...
After tat, Felicia, my previous coordinator n Fiona came n congrats me.. really nice of them to stay till so late just to make sure everything is fine..

Hi Serene,
Glad that you had a wonderful wedding.
I also received same feedback from my guests that the serving of the dishes were very rush. We still left many tables to take photo with during the last 2nd dish. Sam (the photographer) was good and reminded us to hurry a bit coz guests will start leaving after the dessert.
So bride to be of PPR, maybe you all can take note of these...

Thanks Serene! btw CONGRATUALTIONS on becoming MRS _____ hahaha... Thanks for letting us know.. Think it was very unprofessional of the manager to tell you that the staff wants to go home. That's the worst excuse given! It's not our problem that your staff want to go home! GO GET NEW STAFF THEN if your staff shows attitude prob!! hahahahaha What time did your dinner start?
But despite all these hiccups 3 of you had a great wedding and i hope mine will turn out that way too.... SIgh..... only 6 weeks to go! YIKEs!

Quite a few points need to be taken note, esther. haha

I think if the staff works after 11pm, they have to pay OT to them. Maybe they are trying to save cost... but that doesn't mean they have to "sacrifice" us.
Anyway, I had already emailed Felicia about how upset we were over those hiccups. She replied saying she had already forward the mail to her management. I am just waiting to see what kind of explanation they have for us.

Congratulations Serene!
Must be a relief that everything's over. Now suffering from planning withdrawal syndrome?
I don't come online here often but realised that there's another Agnes. Hi Agnes Guan! I'm Agnes Ng!
Just signed the contract with PPR earlier this week. My AD 14 Oct 06. had to bring my doggy down and ended up discussing the final details outside the lobby. Good thing Fiona loves dogs

Thanks everyone. Chose this hotel mostly because my MIL loves the food here. What to do...
Hi Agnes... yup i'm definitely gonna have my doggy in my photoshoot. That's the KEY criteria when searching for my photographer. Haven't confirmed with anyone as yet but found most willing to do it.
Question to all... did u gals top up for the deco? Frankly, i find the deco really plain. The lighting is so so too. Think it'll need a lot of work to attain the mood that i want for the wedding.

Agnes- maybe you shld speak to your coordinator about having more deco. "discuss" with them about it.
I do feel that it is a little bit plain but not really concern about it.
My PS was done at The Edge by Andrew Tay. You might like to check him out. Really friendly extremely nice guy to work with.

Agnes, wil be interesting to feature yr doggie in yr ps, guessed u wil bring him/her to a well-deserved grooming session b4 yr ps, ya? Actually e dish presentation is also plain-looking besides e deco, Fiona has advised us to look for their in-hse florist for customised deco setup on our dae based on e theme selected.
esther, U wil nt look gd screaming lah in yr pretty bridal gown,
let yr man do e job 4 u.
Do U gers look for separate photographers besides e one from yr BS?
butter, enjoy yr HM hor with yr HB, juz R&R lah...management reply as loong they respond, no problem lah, wat if they didnt provide gd explaination, wil affect yr HM a bit then.

Hi Win, definitely must groomed b4 ps. anyway he goes grooming once a fortnight. his hair quite long...perpetually tangled. Thanks for the deco info. fiona mentioned that to me too but i haven't contacted the florist as yet. hope the extra cost won't be exhorbitant.
My entire wedding package is ala-carte. It's not as troublesome as initially expected since no matter what have to search for AD photographers.

Hi esther,
If you are not particular about quality and brand, can get the wines from Carrefour. I got mine there and it's very reasonable priced.
I guess for you now is a waiting game. Just get enough sleep and do all your facial and stuff and wait for your big day to come.
I am at the airport right now, waiting for my flight to go for my honeymoon. Hee hee... The plane will fly off in another hour's time. I shall "talk" to you gals when I am back 2 weeks later...

Hi Esther,
for those pple that forgot to RSVP with U, do give them a friendly call, chat them up & ask abt the RSVP sms/email tat U sent to them on a particular date, now U oni left with a mth, can start tis mode liao.
As for the wines, yes, carre4 wine range look gd & reasonably priced as mentioned by butter, they wil deliver to the hotel but U have to return unused bottles bck yrself but luckily PPR is not too far from Suntec. But for the wine corkage of $12 charged by PPR, will it be a show stopper? but butter is on tis arrangement leh. worst comes to worst get PPR's jacob creeks'(assuming same grade) at $20 NETT, I checked, NTUC is selling $18.70 on promo & carre4 is selling at $19.90, so still comparable as in not difference by 3-4 bucks per bot.

If tat is e case, esther, shld realli consider on consignment basis, the gd thing abt sb.com is tat threads are specialised, I briefly check out e wines threads smetimes bck & did saw sme recommended plcs to get wines on consignment basis, else juz spend 1 wkend go to carre4 & chk out their wine range, paiseh cant contribute much to the wine selection area.
Esther, U gt free 12 bots of wine + waiver, together with yr free flow of beer on a thurs, U can juz get the wines yrself from NTUC or carre4 whichever is cheaper but get the exact wine PPR is providing to be consistent in serving, I reckon is another 12 bots of less since U be serving from 3rd/4th course onwards(I feel is a bit late, guests might not liked e arrangment, Fiona say can start serve wine once dinner commerced, else beer, drinks, tea from 7pm), so guests wil only get to drink the wine for another 4-5 courses, how many tables do U intend to hav est.?
Hi all,
I met up with Vincent last Fri to finalise some items and collect cards, he showed me pics of the 'white theme'.. I quite like it so opted for that..
hi esther,
Are the wordings for your cards printed in red? I find it not very nice but not a big issue lah..
Btw, anyone knows if on AD do we have to pay for the banquet after the event or pay up the next day?

Win,
Actually I'm not sure when to start serving wine but i'm sure not to serve it during cocktails.... Will have to check that one out. I'm having max i think- 45 tables.
Agnes- actually i tot the maroon coloured words are not that bad. If you dun like it you can ask Richard to change it to something else. You pay up for the banquet the next day. They understand that after the dinner it's going to be hard to arrange for payments. Dun worry about it.

Esther, I feel shld be the 1st course which is likely to start at 8, 8.30pm cos U gt 45 tables max., so expect sme delay for yr early guests. I wil not advise U to start serving @ 7pm also since free flow beer, tea & drinks started from 7pm-11pm, so wine shld go alg with food. U shld get consignment, drink how much, pay how much kinda & free delivery to the hotel but U gt to bring bck the remaining unopened bottles yrselves. U are almost there, just nid to est. e crates of wine to be delivered(too many U wil have problem bringing it bck, not enough U gt to advise yr banquet manager to stop serving wine which depend on the course served at tat point or take the in-hse wines which U beter chk with yr coordinator can open bottle by bottle or nid to open min. 1 crate = 1 dozen). The nxt thing is consistency, i.e. 12 complimentary wines + XX 'Y-brand' wines to mix together. U might be able to get the banquet manager to serve the 12 complimentary wines to VIP & relative tables if they can accomodate such instruction, or mabbe U wil not mind mixing all together in the end, so it's up to U to consider. Spend 1 wkend noon go to the recommended consignment co.(have U gt e contacts?) have a wine tasting session, get their recommendation based on yr budget + type of wine for yr menu(bring yr menu alg), unless U wan to order the one tat PPR provide in e end wil do. *confusing U hor?*
While the payment is nxt dae, do get a more 'sober' person to check thru the bill cos nid to counter sign on it before payment the nxt dae, e.g. was reserved table being added to the overall bill, no. of red wines opened, corkage charges, make sure they are tally wil do. Dun tink yr HB wil be 'sober' tat nite to do tis..or U yrself might be tired. so get an 'accountant' frn if possible *joking* haha

Hi mini welcome to the family!
I'd say it's value for money but you have to be firm with them on what you want and not let them sway you.. but other than that i'm happy with everything else!
A happy bride is a beautiful bride hahahaha
Have emailed you the plaza's theme pics....
