Hmm..actually, Tang Court Cantonese Restaurant at RELC International Hotel (next to Shangri-La)'s menus are cheaper than Qianxi & they even have a nite's of hotel stay. It all depends on wat we r looking for loh. I duno if the food at Tang is good anot but if u all like Qianxi food, why not? But Qianxi's Crystal Ballroom is still v nice compared to most of the places...So sometimes, we cant see price or whether got hotel stay anot loh..its if the venue can give u the ambience u wan for ur budget loh...Actually for most places, those with hotel stays most probably factor in the cost of hotel stay liao.
Joyce, for dinner of 45 tables, its best to prepare some cash for potential losses. Depends on which menu u choose
The more tables u have, the higher chance of making higher losses. One way to avoid losing alot is to invite only close relatives & frens or have a cheaper menu. Cos ppl who duno u well will not give much angbao wats more at a restaurant. But dats my personal opinion only ok?
Lets say one table is $550. 45 tables would mean $24,750. U need to place 2K deposit. Meaning balance to be settled is $22,750. Lets say u get $450 angbaos for one table. Not sure abt ur family's practice but for some ppl, VIP tables no need to give angbaos at all. For the worst senario, u will get $450 per table for 43 tables (provided 100% attendance). So angbaos collected is 43x$450 = $19,350. So u need to fork out $22,750 - $19,350 = $3400. U will need to estimate the worst senario & save up the cash accordingly...juz in case
Since ur bf is the one paying for everything, mayb u can let him noe dat other than the dinner cost itself, there r other things like Bridal Package (ur gowns+pre wedding shoots), AD videography & photography, Pin Jing for ur mum, angbaos for helpers + xiongdis + jiemeis, xi bi (cakes for relatives) etc. All these need hard cash. So on ur part, mayb u can try ur best to save abit bit loh..juz a small amt also good, else the burden is too hard on him. Cos 45 tables is no laughing matter wor.
For the settlement of bill after dinner, i believe Qianxi allow u to go back the next day to settle the balance. But they prefer chq or cash. Not credit card. Mayb u can talk to them...they arent v willing cos using of credit card incur admin charges on their part.
If u stay in the north, no need to charter bus. Qianxi is walkable dist from bukit batok mrt. Those who live in the north, juz take mrt to bukit batok loh...heh~
