Hi,

I am looking at the brochure of themes and it says i can get a saxophonist to play just before the guests march in if i choose the Jazz theme...Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks

Hi JuneGroom, I've witness this before, the Saxophonist plays to "invite" guests into the ballroom. Quite interesting, but also remind me of Pipe Piper.. ha ha!

hi lovely samsoon,

you can start of by arranging with your coordinator to view the themes at the upcoming weddings. this will give you a better idea on how each theme looks like.

have you seen the cards range? found something you like? If yes, you can give a tentative confirmation to your coordinator. Meanwhile, you can work on your guest list. This will determined the qty of the inserts.

as for the foodtasting, you can arrange it about 1-1.5 months before your AD. A weekday will be more ideal as the chef will seek your feedback after the tasting.

hope this info helps.

hihi Regent brides, can i join in this thread?

AD-PM: 1st Nov
Day: Thursday
Venue: Main ballrm
Table: 28-30
Theme: Thinking of La Dolce Vita
BS: L* belle Couture
AD PG: Desmond Ho

Btw, if we have signed up with them last year, does that mean we confirm still have to suffer the increase in GST rates? Quite unfair isn't it...

Well, I agree it will be awkward but this is afterall your big day. Besides, you are spending so much money on it so I feel that you should voice out the problems with your coordinator first. If he or she is not willing to help, then you have no choice but request to switch?

hi cloudz 7, there is no escape for the gst. Many of us tried to negotiate a waiver but to no avail. Guess it is a practice of most hotel since the gst goes to the govt, not the hotel. Welcome to our thread!

hi selina esther, charges for weekdays ( considered Mondays to Thursdays) are from S$782.63 nett depending on the particular weekday and your menu. S$782.63 is for Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Hi all, wish you all collect many ang baos this CNY cos it's our last! heh heh!

hi all
I am considering The Regent for my wedding, lunch..
any comments?
who has sign for their package? care to share?
i think theirs is Nett pricing so GST increase should not have effect rite?

Hey Cynthia, about the GST increase, do check directly with the hotel. DIfferent hotels have different polices. Amara, for instance, says Nett, but still affected by GST increase cos there is a certain term/condition in the contract.

hi jenn,

thanks so much for reverting. hehe.. the sudden wave of panick man. in the end, i have decided on a make to measure EG, but was still deciding on the color, either two-tone orangey pink (like katie holmes' gown at the oscars) or two tone grey and black. in the end, i called my BS to tell them to hold back on EG. coz i havent confirmed wat i want.

HTB wanted me to wear somethg tight tt shows off figure, but im not so confident. so in e end the design i chose was heart shaped neckline, but the bottom is similar to the puffy sorta WG. sigh... really dunno wat i want. any ideas or websites to get EG designs? Thanks

hi lovely samsoon,

erm... my personal opinion is 2-tone orangey-pink cos grey + black seems dull.. u should stand-out remember? btw, which theme are u planning to choose? if summer jazz, u dun hv to worry abt color.. cos it's gonna be colorful!! ultimately, choose the gowns & colors u like.. u need to feel comfortable in order to look confident right! ^_^

hi jenn,

i have scrapped the design. might end up choosing royal deep purple (1st choice) or taupe (2nd choice)

i have thought abt the theme at all :p

Hi all,
I just had my ROM @ Regent Hotel, The Bar last month... The whole event was perfect. All my guests love the venue and the food. I am especially grateful to Patrina for helping me to make my day a memorable and pleasant one for all my guests...

hi selina, what do you mean by "meals"?

hi chinoz, i'm not sure about burnt CDs, they sure can play, but i dunno if the music in the burnt CDs have to be original...
