Hi everyone, I'm thinking of holding my solomnisation and banquet in RH. I'm planning my entire wedding overseas, so I would really appreciate it if someone could send me some photos to have an idea how the ballroom looks, particularly when it's done up. Anyone have photos of the reception area in front of the ballroom? Does it bother anyone that the reception area has no airconditioning?
My email: [email protected]
Thanks!

Hi Titania,
Fireworks are classified as explosives, the same category as ammunition (eg, bullets). It definitely won't be simple to get safety clearance, and will involve parties like the police/army etc. There are very few private companies in S'pore that are capable of staging fireworks displays and also have the authority to import fireworks. (It's actually illegal to play with fireworks here in S'pore)
However, if you're talking about sparklers, best to check with Sharul/Jenn. The other side effect of fireworks/sparklers that you may wish to take note of is the lingering smell of gunpowder.

Hi Titania,
Yah, it will certainly be cool.
Have read it in a couple of foreign magazines.
It will definitely leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Let us know what Jenn says.
I remember you still asking in your last about Four Seasons etc. So you have confirmed FH already?

Hi ublur,
Wow, it's slightly off my budget. I know four seasons and sheraton has ROM package with buffet at about 45-50 +++ per pax minimum 25. But I may still contact Raffles later down to see if there are any special promotional packages.

Hi caitlin/blur blur, no havent officially selected. I am making sure that RH can accomodate all my whims first. *laugh* and there r sooo many. But I must admit I am leaning towards RH. Also I'm an ex-Rafflesian so there is a sentimental thing behind it. *sheepish* But my BF is Acsian. *grin* I will update u guys after corresponding with Jen.

Wow! Just another week! Bet it's gonna be real pretty! What is your theme/colour? Are you going to have dinner the same day or is it just solemnisation?
Your fiance's so sweet, going to sing for you. What song is he singing? Think mine will kill himself before he attempts anything like that! hehe...

sigh, I will only be back in SG on 25th June. You MUST show me the pix ok?? Which florist are u using? Did u have to top up for more flowers?
We have already confirmed having our solemnisation at the Lawn. Fiance fell in love with it when Jenn showed us around in December. But I am not sure if the flowers included in the package is enough. We are using Woodsville and they suggested only two more pieces of arrangement on top of the package. Need some advice on that.

I dun rem sharul telling me tt i can get to choose florist.. I thought default florist is Sir charles..anyway, I do trust him to do up the whole setup for me..we had already told him tt we emphsise a lot on the deco. Hopefully it will turn out great..it's all in the package, so i din top up for more flowers..

Hi Blur Blur,
Jenn told me I could choose between Woodsville and Sir Charles. I prefer Sir Charles but wondered if they were more expensive. Glad to know you didn't have to top up.
My wedding is in ballroom in Sep. Do share with me your experience of working with Sir Charles. Cause I thought of asking them to do my church decor too then can "recycle" the same flowers in the ballroom in the evening.
Dun waste. Haha
Can you email me your band contact also? [email protected]? I don't think I will engage one (already worried that ballroom cannot accomodate all my guests) but now only know of ET (or EQ) music through bochup who used to post here. Thought I should get a few quotes to compare.

2 more days to go dearie!!! Bet you are really excited!
We are planning to do solemnisation in the morning and dinner at night, on the same day. So basically we are doing the dinner package and the use of the Lawn in the morning at an extra $500. Dunno how the decor is going to turn out as we have only about 30 guests, wonder if it is going to be too empty.
Definitely looking forward to see your pretty pix! and I am sure it is worth the wait!
Oh yes, and can I have the contacts of the band as well and how much they are charging? Can send me after your honeymoon, no probs. U make sure u get loads of rest and be a really pretty bride on your big day!

caitlin, ashlee, can i email u after my ROM? hhaha.. reason being is all his contacts are wif my FH.. so might have to email u slightly later..
ashlee, in fact, to have too many pple at the lawn will not be nice.. our idea is to have our guests to enjoy the nice scenery of the lawn n have a enjoyable time.. Imagine if we have too many guest and the guest are all filled up with chairs and tables, we will not be able to see the "greeneries"..
Lynda, i do have the song, but har... it's wif my FH.. will email u right after my ROM ok??
I m damm busy these few days .. already on leave last friday although my solemnisation is on wednesday.. will definately share wif u my photos..

Hi starmoon
I'm not too sure about whether it's a multi-disc player but I know that the sound system will be manned by a staff from the hotel so even if it's single disk, it should be ok as long as you inform the soundman what you want played, yah?
BTW, think I saw you posting in the Inspire thread, are you working with them too? When is your wedding?
Hi blur blur
Remember me? Hehe, just want to wish you "Congratulations!" Enjoy your ROM and don't forget to share your pics with me ok?
Hi Hweyhwey
It is possible to fit 26 tables in the ballroom but it'll be really tight. May be better to consider seating 11 per table instead?
