Hi, morning everyone!!
I just woke up! Still on leave but going back to work tmr..
Hi Pet!! PG cakes are good, no worries. My guests were quite surprised that we got a real wedding cake. hee hee... i got the cake cos i love eatin cakes too and my hubby's BD was a few days before my wedding!! after all the guests left, my hubby and i stood at the recep and ate the cake, very nice!! just hope i'll not gain weight after my wedding. i lost quite a bit of weight just before my wedding and my cheongsum was quite loose. my gown designers even had to add another piece of rubber hook-thingy to prevent my wedding gown (a bustier) from slipping down (cos i mainly lost weight at the wrong part).
and dun worry about the profit/loss thingy. chuan dao qiao dou zhi ruan zhi, just take things easy and enjoy ur wedding.
Hi kittylover! The small ballroom looks nice also. dun worry. the food is very good so far no complains from whoever we asked. most ppl just commented that the portion is very BIG and they can't finish. ya, no free parking also but it's only $2.04 i think per entry. One thing also is very hard to get cab. warn ur guests beforehand to call cab or take mrt to Dhoby Ghaut or something.
Hi Pisces! The cake i ordered is called "Gift-wrapped", can see from

The actual cost is $55 and i paid with 5 $10 vouchers we claimed from UOB credit card and 250 beanpoints so no cost to us at all. The flavor i ordered was orange fruitcake. Those who ate it said it's nice but very sweet cos of the icing. They have other beautiful, reasonably priced cakes also. I sourced around for quite long actually, main thing is dun let the cake sellers know that it''' be used as a wedding cake and the price wun be so ex.
as for the drinks, i think they're served immediately. i never hear any complains abt this so i assume it is. my dad's frens and relatives can drink quite alot (they finished one XO at my house during tea ceremony) and my dad never complained about anything abt it so it should be okay. Anyway, if u r worried about it, just inform the manager beforehand and they'll carry out ur instructions. The best thing i like about them is they remembered all my requests (like i dun want the flashing lights at the back to be on, to cover the champagne tables and cake tables with cloth, my parents' march-in, the speed of my march-in) and did them.
Anyone wants the AD program and emcee speech can get from me k? I was amazed that we stick to the AD schedule so tightly that everything went very smoothly. And my emcee was great! She's a sweet girl who put everyone at ease immediately and said everything beautifully. Emcee is quite impt i think, cos the mood is set by them. I'm also glad that one guy manager of QX helped her to cue the guests to clap at certain times like popping champagne bottle and when we cross arm toast.
One more tip for u gals, try to use fresh flowers for ur car deco. We used fresh flowers and it looked great in the pics and i just loved it so much!! it's very different from other bridal car decos and many ppl kept looking at our car. Even my photographers were intrigued by it. I can give u my florist contact (recommended by my cousin who used to be a florist herself) if u like.
