Hello...
I have yet to decide. I have some choices - Furama Riverfront, Rendezvous, Traders, Club Chinois and Peony-Jade.
Have to visit these venues before making my decision.

Hi ladies,
Attached some pics i took on Saturday.
Its the crystal theme.
I think it doesnt look nice from my pics coz the tea lights are not light up yet.
It should be quite classy and romantic with the tea light and the ballroom dim lightings. =)
Saw a couple viewing the ballroom too. Is that any of you ladies with your fiance? =)

Hi ladies
I saw both crystal and flower themes and personally, I love the flower themes.
at least you can get to choose the flower/colour you like and it looks fresh rather than using the recycle stuff.
and the flower theme comes with candles as well and hence, it sweet and romantic at the same time !!!
just my 2 cents opinion.
all the best gals !!!

Hi ladies, i am also a HR bride and my AD is 30 mar 08.. Heard from Eileen that there are 2 new themes end of this yr and it should be the flower and pearl (not confirmed) themes... did anyone of u managed to get HR to provide an additional one nite stay or etc besides their standard package...
Hi ladies,
My wife and I have shortlisted Hotel Rendezvous as 1 of the possible venue for our customary wedding(27 July 08). Just ROM @ Peony Jade last week. Have made an appointment with Eileen this coming Sat to check out/discuss the ballroom and the 07 package as there would be a wedding banquet on that day.
Any advice what to negotiate and stuff to look out for? Thanks.

Hi all,
Didn't manage to meet Eileen but met another sales banquet manager called Ignatius instead. He told me he was previously from Rendezvous's operational side. Well, seems to me hes very new into the banquet business but hes friendly and gave me some advice on choosing a venue for the wedding banquet.
When we were there, he showed us the ballroom, allowed us to take our time to look around and take pictures. After which, he showed us the different variety of wedding favors, guest books, hongbao boxes that Rendezvous has.
In the end, when we talked about perks, he told me he need to check them out with his superior before he could promise me any perks (such as helper room) thrown in. He also told me the 08 package will be out at the end of this month and the new 07 package could not be used for 08 booking anymore.
Well, in the end i asked him what if I want to secure the booking using the new 07 package. He would get back to me on Tues.
Ladies, what are your opinions?
I've attached some photographs taken during my visit. Flower theme.

Hi Koko,
Wah, yr AD is 1 Nov 08 and you have confirmed yr package so early.... anyway, I have confirmed with Eileen that my confirmed tables is 12 and most likely I am looking at about 15 tables and above. Hopefully, I can reach 18 so that I need not pay for $100 more per table.

Hey BanGa,
When I liaise with Sharon via email, she also need to check with the management whether they can offer me 2007 package price (coz she said they can only offer it to couples getting married before June 08 and my wedding is in Nov 08). Same to the additional helper room. She didnt offer me that immediately.
So I guess its like tat. They dun dare to commit immediately.
Anabelle,
ya, i booked quite early. Looking at the yearly increase in banquet price, i think i dun mind being kiasu.
Wow if u r having 15 tables, u need to pay $1500 extra. equivilent to about 2 extra tables leh.. Really hope you can hit 18 tables!

Koko,
I see. Well, I'll wait for his reply then. Thanks for sharing the info.
Anabelle,
I think it is more cost effective to take a few more tables than paying $100 extra for each of the 15 tables. I don't think the red wine that they would be providing is very high end type. (i.e. does not cost much). Like what Koko said, 1.5k extra = approx 2 tables liao. If you can't hit more than 12, probably you should look at other locations that require lower min no of tables.

Hi koko and anabelle,
it seems to me that the sales rather hard to move in negotiation hey... I also tried.. with almost-no-luck result... *hai*... but I do like the ambience of the ballroom, except for the one pillar in there..
selina, wow.. that's good, they let you have the minimum of 16 ? sharon insisted I must have 18 tho..

Hi ladies,
This is being offered to me. For confirmation of min 20 tables, below are the perks thrown in.
1. Day use room from 2.00pm to 8.00pm
2. Wedding cards at 75% of confirmed attendance
3. Food tasting for 10 persons maximum
4. 1 bottle of our house pouring red wine for every 2 confirmed tables (additional bottles at a special price of $22.00 nett per bottle)
I didn't even bother to ask for more complimentary parking coupons because they only have 60++ lots there. 20% of 200 pax is already like 40 liao.
The banquet package offered will be the 07 package + 2%.
I've made a tentative booking with Rendz for July 08. Any one of you managed to get free printing of inserts for the wedding cards?

Wah... BanGa, yr is a very good deal... By the way, who is yr coordinator and I did try to look for other places with lesser min requirement but I can say that I prefer HR more than the others in terms of "ballroom".
Hi Anabelle,
He is Ingatius Chia. His email address is [email protected]
From my exp, I'm given an impression that if you can confirm more tables, you will have higher bargaining power.
Hi KrisTine,
I read from elsewhere that it would be cheaper to print in JB, some shop at City Sq if I'm not wrong.

Hi Sherryl,
Yes,I did go down on 16th June. Congrats to you and your hubby. Was there around 530pm and perhaps went into the ballroom a bit later. I did see another couple visiting the ballroom after that. I should say the ballroom was nicely done up.
When I left the ballroom, your jiemei and xiong di had already taken up their position at the recep table liao.
If I'm not wrong, yours is a 24 tables setup. Do you think its quite cramp or just nice?
Guess what, one of my colleagues told me that her bf's cousin was having their wedding banquet on that day oso. hahahaa... Didn't probe much also.
So, overall hows the exp (bridal suite, parking lots, food, servers???)? What are the perks that you'd gained? Can share with us?

thanks banga..
yes,,mine was the 24 tables setup..
We had actually asked for one colour for the rose,which is ivory white..as it seems more solid in the sense..
Really!!!hmm,,do u know the name of ur colleague bf cousin?hehe..
the bridal suite was great..
Quite standard,it had the kitchen,bar,the hall,the bedroom,toilet,wardrobe..
U can always request to see the bridal suite..They do allow that..
As for the parking lots,the hotel gave us 60 parking coupon plus another 15 parking coupon at the next building(in case not enough parking lot)
As for the food,well the portion was quite big,,based on the feedback from my guests.
But the serving given during the food sampling wasnt that much for us
Anyway,most of the guests had mentioned that the food was yummy..
I do feel the same too!!
The banquet manager on duty was doing his job very well..
Had taught us how to march in gracefully,could coordinate the whole event very well..
Overall,i am very satified with hotel rendezvous..
*hee..hee*
If u would like to get the hotel to ask their supplier to do the printing of invitation card for u,it is possible too!!
I got mine thru them..and it's simple and nice..
If possible,u can ask sharon,the hotel manager to assist u for the wedding dinner..she is gd...
Oh ya,i guess it is always better to choose the flower theme,since the crystal theme dont seem to look that gd...if there are other theme coming up,maybe can have a try on it...

Hi Sherryl,
I do not know the name of my colleague's bf wor. Has never seen him before.
Did you use up all the parking coupons? 75 is quite a lot sia..... You must have a lot of rich frds/relatives who drive.
How much do the hotel's supplier charge for printing the inserts?
The menu that you have listed is from the 06 package?
Looks like you've thoroughly enjoyed yourself on that night. That's great.

wow sherryl, how come some of your dishes are not in the menu at all. I wanted the steamed king prawns with wine but I got baked 'live' prawns with baked salt. I cant find such a 'prawn' dish in any of the menu eh. Is it a special request?
And the ee fu noodle = crispy noodle?
My chicken is the 'peking' chicken and based on description sounds like yours. Is it the same? heh. thanks thanks.

Mind me asking,how much per table does hotel rendezvous charges u now?
Hi muffin,
the steamed king prawns with sherry wine is not special request from us,,it was already in the menu itself when i signed up with them..
Hmm,abt the noddle,it's sort of crispy with some gravy on top..
Abt the chicken,mine was the deep fried crispy whole chicken with plum sauce,think is different from yours..
Lots of friends love the chicken..

You are welcome muffin,,,
maybe can try asking them to change some of the dishes if they are able to,,,
Like my dessert,suppose to be sweet corn ...,but during the food sampling,we found that the sweet corn doesnt seem so nice,so we had it changed to yam paste instead,but not being able to try it at all..

Hi Sherryl,
The 07 package for Rendezvous now is $668 + 2% for weekday and $728 + 2% for weekend. (menu A or B)
For menu C and D, $728 + 2% for weekday and $768 + 2% for weekend. Others might get at a cheaper price or good perks during a roadshow. I suppose the 06 package must be cheaper too.
I was told that the 08 package is releasing soon.
Thanks for the info.
Hi Muffin,
Do let us have your reviews for the food tasting, can?

Hi Jennifer, u can request them to give u a bigger stage or a seperate room for yr solemenisation. For my case, i took the function room beside the ballroom so that it is more cosy.... after the solemize, then cocktail and then dinner.... fyi, they will use the chairs in yr ballroom for the soleminisation.
