Dyeann > Sorry, I have not officially upload any pic yet as I am still waiting for my photographer to upload. Nevertheless my wife friend tagged us a few pic in FB but not much was abt our banquet at Crystal Ballroom.
I gave ang pow to all the crews including the kitchen staff, I think around 30pax or something. But this is something optional. U can just give it to your coordinator will do, it’s alright too. A red packet as a token of appreciation will do.
Bomohpang > Pls pls pls remind and request your guests to “da bao†if they can’t finished their food. After the event, my guests told me, they liked the cereal oat prawn but pai seh to ask for da pow. It is absolutely alright to ask for da bao rather than let the food go to waste. Remind them again, they can da bao, they can da bao, don’t pai seh!
Yours not Crystal Ballroom, guess it’s even easier for Andy to perform a better job. Request for him then.
Pinky > I chosen the $588 menu but change the duck to Yam Ring with chicken. Trust me, the yam ring is superb, I like it very much. Nevertheless, pls try to ask or request for Yam Ring with seafood OR even Yam Ring with seafood plus those abalone mushroom etc
This is real life experience, I got the crispy chicken already eat so many chicken, now Yam Ring with chicken, all the chicken is wasted this time round.
Then I also change the fish to red groupa and top up another $30, it’s worth it. As it looked more presentable as compared to the steam live sea bass.
Pls choose a first march in song long enough for u to walk slowly and enough for u to cut the fake cake and come down to your VIP table. I chosen the song “I finally found someoneâ€, I personally like that a lot and it is quite unique too.
For the first course presentation, I chosen the song “I love you alwaysâ€, playing from the 2min5sec onwards and open the door for the staff to make their appearance on the 2min18min …. A short song will do. March in for the staff are so-so only, nothing special.
For the second march in, I chosen “Tonight I celebrate my loveâ€, playing from the beginning and open the door from the 8sec onwards.
I can’t remember how many waiter or waitress per table on my AD. I only know VIP table got 1 each, whahahahahahahahahahaha.
They allow u to come back one day later to foot the balance. For me, I brought the whole stack of cash for Andy to count. -.-“
By the way, pls do not purchase too much fire cracker or popper as it was not allowed as they are worried u might burn down the whole place. For the Crystal Ballroom, they only allow 2 popper at the stage, by the side, that’s all. My friends got to bring back all the poppers.
Food wise, I felt that u should let Hilltop worry abt this as this is something not within your control. Just concentrate on being a cheerful, happy and pretty bride will do. On that day, u got not time to think so much. Everything happen so fast for me. Maybe u can remind Andy or whoever to control the timing of the dishes although I know they are expert in this field. I held mine in the afternoon and I don’t know why it was so rush for other tables besides the VIP … they will ask and ask whether the guests still want the existing food on the table so that they can clear it.
To make thing worse, my whole table of colleagues kenna an auntie who actually asked them what drinks they liked and she only offered hot tea and plain water. Not only they, she cleared the food without asking and they had to eat like mad for every dishes. Oh my god, BUT this is definitely one isolated case.

Desiree Lim > Ha ha ha, glad we held our banquet there.
