Hi girls! I just went down to RTC to take a look today. Cosy and pretty private lounge for the solemnisation ceremony. Me and Hubby-to-be more or less decided that we're going to hold it at RTC. Guek Peng's real helpful in answering all our queries.
We're going to finalise the number of guests (think 30 - 40 pax) by this week and hopefully can confirm and place deposit soon. aHhHH... how to invite one aunt but not offend the other by not inviting...so difficult. haha!
I have some pictures of the table & layout of chairs in the private lounge if you girls want to take a look.
Cheerios!

Hi all,
Feeling lost...frm e email reply from RTC;
If there is a need to book a room stay? Any discounted cost or possibility? My fiancée need to do make-up before the solemnization, any room to provide for day-use?
[Boon Heng replied] Discounted rate for Suite Room will be $299.00++/night/room or Studio Room at $199.00++/night/room
So Does it means no more offer for free room stay since i'm intenting to host for 40 to 50 pax???
=( Do you think if there is rm for negoitation??? Coz I may need to book extra room for my guests frm overseas too *sob*

Hi joeynben, the package when i engaged them is as long as i confirmed attendance of 50 pax, will be granted a complimentary studio room.
anything less u have to book for urself
for my case i didnt hit the 50 pax, but i told my coordinator i need a room least after the event.
was told i can use one of their function room whichever is available on tat day to have my Makeup n put barang lo.
u can check w ur coordinator.
n their room rate increased. the one i book cost me abt 168 for studio room now increase to 199 but i cancelled off the booking le cos i see no need actually... next day is sat n sun le..
no mine is just normal track disk... not burnt as dvd or so... i play on pc can lei.. will try on cd player to play safe

I having my ROM with my fiancée at RTC on the 24th Feb 08. I agreed with everyone the service there is very gd.....I requested for the hi tea but I wish to host my solemnisation from 12pm to 3pm which is not the timing for hi-tea, but geok peng agreed with it. They are really very flexible. As long they can do it, they will do it for you.
As for the hotel stay, I dun think you will get any complimentary night stay. Alot of hotels ROM package has also removed the free night stay already except for amara and carlton which I know. Even though you have 50 paxs I dun think they will give a complimentary stay....have checked with geok peng before. Unless maybe you like sushibabe....have so many tables then might have. By the way I went down on the 29th Dec 07 to see the outlook and geok peng has also brought us to see the ballroom and someone is actually hosting their solemnization there and if I not wrong, it is sushibabe one.....very grand le...
Anyway back to hotel stay, in the end my fiancée wanted to book a room as from what I know only rtc members can stay there and so we make use of this opportunity to book the jasmine spa suite. At first the price is 250++. But when we went down to pay the deopsit, geok peng told us our rom date clashes with air show hence room rate is $350.....$100 more le. However we still book it as we wanna try it out since there won't be anyway we will still come back to this place hence have to make it a much memorable one.

hihi.. i met up with my coordinator from RTC and checked with them how much they will charge for children who are attending. They say it will be 16.80++ for child below 12.. i got lots of these young relatives but they dont eat much (coz solemnisation is late afternoon)..and when i asked how do they count on tt day on the number of people, they say they will do an estimate count? how do i prevent them from catering too much food? thanks
for my case, i didnt tell them how many adults and how many children
i based on total of attending guests, i minus off abt 2-3 headcount as i sure sure cant finished the food de.
u based on the above estimation n count the price to see if u r able to save a bit as compared to your current booking

oh yup.. talked to them and went down to see the place..they said will revert back to me if the room is available..
However they did reply back later to my email.. now the venue is available, (1/3 of the dunearn ballroom.. )wonder if there is a "big crowd" at the ballroom area since I believe many other couple are also holding their wedding on the same day? Will it be very noisy and disorganised?

hmm 3 ballroom indeed share the same reception area, did u have a look at the ballroom?
if not, would suggest going to have a look
if ur guest is abt 30-35 even max 40 i think their private lounge will be good too. just nice cos they will open up the area outside the private lounge, for your guest during reception. so no worries..

yup.. went down there before. Think the ballroom size shd be oki since i only have ard 30 people... A pity the lounge is already booked.
My concern is abt the reception area since it's a bit small and I wonder if it will get noisy on tt day since there will be at least 100 ppl moving in and out.

If im nt wrong, every ballroom entrance will have a reception table.. The onli part is ur guests will be confused which ballrooms lor..

Hi,
Can anyone share your experiences in RTC with me as i am quite interested of getting my ROM there. However, i realised that the co-coordinator there is not that responsible. I did make an arrangement to view the private lounge with the co-coordinator but then she did not turn up and i come to realise that she is off that day. Quite disappointed.
Is there anyone here having 30 pax guests to invite and what are the packages they offering beside the $32+/per head?
Any recommendation that who will be the best person that i can look for?
Thanks.

Thanks Celine.
Do you have any idea when will be the best time to book the rooms as my ROM will be at the end of Sept?
Do you have experiences with them blocking the dates first?
Are you holding your ROM there as well?
Care to share whether can the items be exchange for something? E.g. Any free decorations on the table by adding flowers or free rooms for make-up?

Hi cfay,
If urs is a popular date, u might want to book it as soon as now cos they're quite popular for ROM venue. They'll block the date for you (if i rem correctly) for 2 wks, so u could do a booking with them first. ^_^
I didnt hold my ROM there cos i'll be doing my soleminsation + banquet on the same evening. So mine will come with the theme flowers deco and suite + 1 room for helpers.
U could check with guekpeng and she should be quite flex to ur exchange request as long as she can do it. When will be ur AD?

hi celine, guekpeng is no longer with RTC already, just found out 2 weeks ago.
anyways, had my ROM at RTC's private lounge for 50 guests last week, food was good, deco they provided was enough for us, service of Michael and his team was excellent!
we had a free 1 night stay at their suite cus we had 50 guests and above, and we made the booking last year nov. dont think that promo is valid already though. if you don't have a room for overnight staying, i think they have one private room for you to do your makeup there.
anyway, its best to book as soon as possible, cus there's no such thing is kiasu in venue booking, theres somebody always more kiasu than u!

hi cfay,
the package if i'm not mistaken, has changed. you can go to rtc's website and download it. we held it there in may but booked the package last yr. the tea reception was at 30++ per head, and if you book for min 50pax, get a nite's stay at the studio room.
