Hi Frances,
yup.. they will provide the seat cover FOC for all chairs and alternate special seat covers for lunch package as well. It's not included inside, so you got to negotiate for it

Hi Tougei,
Your "summer jazz" theme sounds really nice
Looking forward to see your photos.
I've been MIA here awhile as got a lot of wedding prep elsewhere... Just bought my house. So 1 less thing to settle now.
But haven't book the banquet in Regent yet...so awaiting approval from in-laws side.
Hope things go well and we will book the lunch package.

Hi gals.
Just had my wedding on 1 july at Regent. I'm on HM now so cant write alot but one thing is that Sunil and the other coordinator is GREAT. quite alot of things happened on my AD - my BIL got into car accident just before dinner (luckily not hurt), receptionists were caught in jam along Orchard, bubble guns not working etc etc... but Sunil and my hubby's brothers held the fort. So still went ok.
The food and deco had great comments. They pre-freeze the ice cream for my western dessert and they were still frozen when served. Not a easy feat for almost 400 desserts. The bubble machine effect was very well received too
Hi yingal, I used lil-art for my printing. They are not really more expensive than the rest and their service is also fantastic. I had to rush out my inserts cos' we were late in sending our order form and yet had to rush to send out the invites since hubby going overseas. They were so so helpful and accomodating that I was totally impressed. No mistakes with the wordings AT ALL. We had everything done pat. We took the black and red cards. for the black ones, we didnæt want to use the cream inserts and they changed it to a maroon one for us. It looked great against the black and not so 'inauspicious'. Highly recommend Lil-art. I called up the other cheaper printers before and the service cant be compared. They seemed to pluck the prices from the air when I asked so I didn't trust them.

Hi Tougei,
Glad to hear you had a great wedding!
Is your a dinner or lunch banquet? Do share with us your photos yeah?
Actually, my FH and I still can't decided which to book. I'm the "fickle-minded" one.... I like Regent lunch banquet and a outdoor wedding at Singapore Arts musuem.... can't make up my mind on which one to choose....
Anyone can give me comments on these 2 locations?

hallo tougei! great to hear from you, hehe, your photo portrait very nice *wink* enjoying yourself on honeymoon? Woah, next one is me liao, how exciting. your BIL got into accident? wah, really anything can go wrong on your wedding day, but great that everything went well in the end.
i called Lil art before too. the person who picks up the phone is very well mannered. the prices are abit steep, but somehow, they gives me the assurance that they are competent.
yingal, if you are not rushing for time, you can consider going to johor to print. at city square, there are three printers. very good price.
hallo precious thoughts, i know of someone who had a lunch banquet at Regent. quite interesting too. outdoor wedding, when is your date? might rain

Hi gals, I also signed up my package with Regent Hotel. AD falls on the 29th Sept 05. Have not made up my mind if I am to choose the Jazz theme or the chinois theme. Also did any one of you manage to negotiate for a 10 pax food tasting? Cos my package only consists of 6 pax.
Any advise/suggestions?

Hi gals. I am on HM now. Will be flying back tomorrow *sob sob* Can only send you the pics when I'm home
Hi jiemei, I just asked Regent cos' my fren who had her wedding just before me (at another hotel) told me she asked her hotel to absorb the muslims. Errm...I dunno how to describe the "negotiations" also. That time was 2 weeks before my wedding and I had increased by 8 tables so I told Sunil that since my tables increased, I should get more perks heheh... He said they can absorb max of 2 Muslims/vege.
Oohh... I loved loved the black invites. Created quite an impact and the ribbons really stand out against the black. So if your frens are not "pang dang", do consider the black invites
But one word of caution, you have to tie the ribbons yourselves so it's alot of work. Especially if you are like me who wanted the ribbons to be perfect so I ended up tying most of them myself

Hi Peggy,
I went to the wedding workshop as well. I am one of the 2 gals there as my FH was working and couldn't make it. I like the tranquality theme very much as well. Lots of candles and rose petals. I feel the 2 candles stands at the entrance very special. THe whole feeling is a romantic, cosy and intimate theme ...
Hi Huiling,
I am still undecided about regent. Sunil said the English dessert will cost about $15 per pax. It's over my budget.... though still hoping to have. Actually, I'm in dillemma over Hyatt, Regent or Marriott for lunch banquet. Personally, I like the deco and ballroom of regent. Also, all along I've deal with Sunil and find that he gives good service and very sincere. Also, he gives me the feeling that he really wants to make my wedding a special and memorable one. Such as, even for the colours of the flowers, he gave suggestions rather than what the original theme is having. However, the only bad point about Regent is it is a less well-know hotel and not conveniently located. Some might even think it's a 4 star hotel. Hence, people might give lesser ang pao compared to Hyatt and Marriott. Moreover, mine's a lunch event. Hence... might even give lesser ang pao.
Any previous Regent LUNCH or DINNER banquet brides can give their comments on the ang pao they receieved?

Hi Peggy,
I think I remember you too. Were you one of those who came early? Were you there before I came? Was there 1 or 2 couples sitting at where you sat?
For the ang bao part, my FH wasn't that concern about losing money actually. But also cannot loose too much. I think I'm only willing to loose maybe about $1.5K. He says most important is that I'm happy about the venue. But of cos, must still be within budget. It seems that I'm the more "calculative" one. hehe...
As for the location, to walk from MRT, it is really a torture. However, there's actually a bus from somerset and orchard mrt that stops right in front of Regent. Hence, it's still quite accessible actually.
Are you considering lunch or dinner?

Hi Peggy,
Yesterday, I went to "The Arts house @ the old parliament house" to check out church wedding venue and my FH and I really love that place very much. Hence, might have other plans and hold our wedding there instead on the same day.
Not sure... still thinking and discussing as the arts house is a bit small but really very nice and cosy...
Hi Huiling and tougei,
Haven't seen you all around on forum. How's everything?

Hi gals. Sorry for MIA. Just came back on Wed and promptly fell sick. Still on MC today
Just emailed my AD photographer. The pictures will only be ready next Friday. Will send to you gals then
Hi jiemei, how's your nego with Regent? I think it would be best if you just straight out tell them that you need them to absorb the muslims, rather than hint hint
For my case, I told Sunil that the Muslims are husband and wife so I cant possibly squeeze 12 to that table nor leave it as 8 Chinese so I ask him if he can absorb. He said ok, he can absorb and that's it, not much negotiations leh.
Hmm... I also managed to get 2 LCDs afterall. They initally gave me one projector only. But during the final confirmation meeting Sunil kindly agreed to throw in another projector so that I wont have to worry about cabling etc etc. Maybe you can try for this perk too. But I suppose your nego power depends on the number of tables you have also. Good Luck!!
Hi Precious, we didn't have problems with ppl thinking that it is a 4 star hotel and give lesser. Most give the usual price of $80. Of course, some will give $60 or even $40 but I suppose these ppl will give the same regardless if it's at Hyatt or MM. Some commented that they didn't know that Regent is such a posh hotel and were pleasantly surprised. No one complained to me about the location so far but mine's a Friday so most come from work and they have lifts from colleagues. At first I was worried abt the location and even wanted to charter small bus but Hubby says that ppl will be able to find their way there one, not to say that it is some really ulu place. Think Orchard is still very central
About the english dessert, yours is lunch isit? For my english dessert during the dinner banquet, they charge me at $70 plus per table (don't remember exact figures liao) Works out to be about $8 per pax. If it is $15 then it might be even more worth it to get the fondue instead for $11 per pax.
Hi Cheryl, I think the summer jazz theme is actually from 2006 package. It simply uses yam roses and pink carnations instead of the red or white roses for the chinios and jazz theme. I had a small gazebo with lilac organza set up on the stage instead of the normal deco. And the tables have lilac runners. I think Regent took some photos of this deco. Maybe you can ask them?
Hi pinkmi, yes I have half portions for the bird nest and lobster soup; and for the chix dishes; and finally the dessert also. In fact for the dessert, I had 2 testings cos' we wasn't satis with what they gave us during the food tasting and so Sunil arranged for another 2 desserts for us to try out.

Hi Jenz,
I'm not referring to ACM. The Arts House is located somewhat beside ACM. It is the old parliament house but only converted to an Arts house somewhere last year.
Hi Huiling,
yup... the chamber of the Arts House can sit 200 persons max. I'm looking at around 200 guests. However, it can only accomodate 200 pax for standing cocktail. Even so, it seems a little cramp to me. It is not possible to have a sit-down banquet in the Arts house. It is really a very unique, grand and beautiful place to solemise. If I have this, I might not get regent in the end as the rental of the Arts House is very high for a Saturday. However, the Arts House do not have the date I want. I'm looking at 18th Mar but they only have 25th Mar. Also, I'm afraid it will clash with Qing Ming.
Can anyone confirm when is Qing Ming next year? Would reallu appreciate it
Hi Tougei,
Hope you are better by now. Have lots of rest and drink more water. A lot of people falling sick these period. My department super short-handed because people keep going on MC.
Really looking forward to see your AD pictures!

Hi gals. Will send you gals once I got my pics back
The saxophonist played before the march-in. Then stopped for the march-in (using own CD) and cake cutting etc... start again during first dish and ended before 2nd march-in... not very long. Yep, I used all original CDs, didn't want to take the chance
The band is a 3-piece band. One of them will sing along with the music occasionally (depending on what song). They are quite good
