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?
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!
my wedding is in sept and the last time i spoke to my co-ord was many months ago. i cant remb what is the next step im supposed to take? which one is first? food tasting, confirm theme and collect cards?
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.

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!
My married colleagues still collect ang paos! So funny. And it it from their parents! They kinda' "exchange" Ang Baos.. Well, it's the first time i heard of this.
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.
sorry for the late response. what happened? who took over ur case after wele left? my wedding is in sept. i met my new coord, who was the boss of wele.. he seems ok.. if u need help, i can try talking to him...
welcome to the thread.. i've decided to not do the table since the response wasn't good.. so. how's ur prep so far? any good / bad encounterment with regent so far? u may wanna share and discuss with us here.. ^_^
i did check with regent b4 if there's price affect after GST increase.. it's said to be a 'YES' instead of they will absorb the increase.. to confirm this, your may wanna call ur coord to confirm this via email.
good to see u here.. who's ur coord? mine is now sunil.. he seems like a nice guy.. haven't really go into banquet confirmations or something... so.. i won't be able to tell.. but he seems ok.. if u wan, i can intro u.. email me la! ^_^ [email protected]
oh no.. my big day is just 3 weeks away... im so busy with work, new house and the wedding... hope that my new coorinator can lighten my load by being helpful and prompt.
hi BTBs,
i'm gng for my gown selection tomo and need to know the colours of the curtain and walls of the main ballroom on the grd floor. suddenly remb that need to chk the colours so that wont blend into the wall or stage.
how was ur gown selection? i think the ballroom is cosy beige color.. so.. any striking colors should be able to stand out.. jus in case u wanna reconfirm, suggest u call ur coord to confirm the curtain n theme color to make sure the color u chose stands out.. ^_^
wow.. 3 wks will fly jus liddat.. somemore, u hv housing + work + wedding stuffs to settle.. can imagine how stress u are.. keep cool so that u dun make the wrong decision(s) ya.. do write here or email to me ([email protected]) if u need any suggestion(s).. calm down.. calm down.. ^_^
yes yes... time flies. thankfully, the new house is almost ready by early next week. thank goodness, we have engaged a very reliable contractor and that helps me to make things easier for us.
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
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! ^_^
