metta, i've not done my ap box yet...no time got exam and had to rush out the invites....the kiddies' present is a nice idea esp on x'mas eve
i'll be doing small bags of stuff to keep them entertained during the dinner 
the flower ball has a ribbon with 10 big blooms of roses forming a round shape...she has not sent me pics of it yet tho...
think balloons for eve is more appropriate
bout 100bucks i think...my coordinator mentioned bout it too but i wanted a flower/ribbons theme to match my invite...

the flower ball sounds so gorgeous and romantic! send me a pic when u get it? the flower/ribbon theme sounds really nice - very english. R u putting up ribbons in the ballroom?
i tot of setting up a kid's corner with paper and crayons etc but hubby says they'll be busy eating with their parents..heehee..
u know, i did my maths again. $100+ for 1 helium tank, at least $1 for each pearly balloon and I need at least 200-300 balloons (so more helium tanks too) to spread out over Siloso ballroom. Quite xiong!
bridez,
I changed my timing to 6.15pm cos' even my good friend said it's too early. My buses are mainly in the West. Hopefully they'll reach by 7.15pm in case of traffic jam on Xmas Eve.

cheery,
the extra decor are on own expenses (got to source for it ourselves). Rasa does not provide them, only the contracted flower stands, arches and centrepieces.
I think Elaine's contact is more expensive so I talked to Serene from Creative Balloon (http://www.creativeballoons.com.sg). Her large helium tank is $150 and pearly balloons at abt $15/100pcs (if i didn't hear wrongly over the noisy background). Will go to her place to view next week. Only setback is got to find alot of helpers to DIY!

hello everbody, I'm Hallie, new to this thread. I'm kinda interested in Rasa Sentosa too. had went down to take a look at the ballrooms.
Will be looking at siloso ballroom too as my no. of tables will exceed 40.
Hi pink lady, i oso feel the march-in is v v v short leh! dunno how to prolong it?? *sigh*

pinklady/hallie,
I'm using siloso ballroom! I counted only 14 steps from door to stage!! Too short to get any kick out of it! So, hubby & I are walking in from separate doors and meet in the middle. Or else, do the N-shape like dazed suggested.
shern, i'm using the A4 box too. Ya, too big, but very prominent!! hahahah... Looks more presentable I think. A shoe box is too 'flat'.

Dazed/Metta,
how do we do the N-shaped march in? Walking in from seperate doors oso quite a good idea. How many tables r both of u looking at? Did u manage to get a good package?
Metta, i read tt u will be having ur AD on xmas eve. Do u have to top up any money on the pktg, cos as wat i knew from Perry, special PH like xmas n new year will need a surcharge of $50nett. Ini was thinking of new's year's day, but dropped the idea aft tt.
Has anyone make any changes like putting the abalone(to the veg) to the menu? does anyone know wats the additional charges?

Hallie,
I saw a couple had the walkin from the leftmost door to the middle. But tat means the rightmost pp can only see u from far.
I'm having 40 tables. I didn't get the pkg from any promotion unfortunately.
I booked my AD in Jan 04, wasn't imposed any surcharge at that time. Maybe the rules have changed cos' they do hv to pay double for the waiters etc. Maybe u can negotiate with Perry?
I did make changes to the menu initially, by replacing dishes. I replaced the prawns with Abalone Vege but the abalone pieces were so small and thin, everyone felt it was unpresentable. The additional charges depends on what u want to change. If your item is more ex, then they will inform you how much more they will charge.

Tks for the info...maybe as wat u hv said the rules changed. *sigh* had just placed a tentatively booking already for 2006, now waiting for my FH to confirm. guess too late if wait till the mar05 wedding show hor????
Btw, can i say tt u didnt pay additional for ur replacement??
Actually i'm fine with not having the abalone, but my traditional mum was questioning me why arent there any abalone in the menu! Argh.......

Hi ladies, just wanna check if most of you manage to get 2 reserve tables instead of 1? Bcoz my coordinator insisted that only 1 reserve table is allowed...

Metta/Shern, how many angbao box are you having? 1 A4 box or 2? My FH suggested to use A4 box too but I find it a bit big leh.. you all find it ok?
Hallie,
I wasn't charged initially cos' I replaced with a dish of an equivalent value(vege abalone instead of prawn & i also didn't want fish) Your case is different cos' you are adding extra ingrediant (abalone). I'm quite sure they'll charge you for it. Anyway, I went back to the original menu eventually. And seriously not worth it to pay for the thin slices of abalone.
bride, only 1 Angpao box lar. Mine is A4 size, it's already so huge! People will faint if they see TWO huge angpao boxes!! hiak hiak.

Metta,
Hmm...guess as wat u hv said, not worth hor....will check with Perry how much would they charge for the additional ingredient then decide. Btw, hv u decided on wat flowers to use for the deco?

erm can officially make booking for rasa already?
hi everyone,
I am also a RASA bride.
first time logging in to SG Brides, most of the time i log in to Female brides. I booked RASA since April 04. But my date is 15th April 2005, a friday. Like some of you here, am also worried of the turn out and the parking. Sigh. But we are having our solemnization either at the Lawn area or the Beach then followed by dinner at the siloso ballroom.
Cheers!
I am also a RASA bride.
hi Racherelle,
i heard tt 2006 is already picking up, n some of the dates has already been taken up. Im still holding on to mine tentatively...hopefully no one wants it at the moment!! I think, just make a tentative block to the date u want 1st, then tk ur time to decide.
sleepsleep, they r already opened for 2006 bookings liao leh!
hello Lindy, do u need to pay any additional charges for ur outdoor solemnisation (on top of ur dinner)??? will they b serving any drinks or food???

Hi shern, if you can.. go ahead with the 2 reserve and get 1 less confirmed table.. this is for in case some guests didn't turned up.. Elaine insisted Rasa can only give 1 reserve tables.. dun wanna argue with her anyway.. bcoz Rasa banquet is not standard.. like some have free food tasting, some dun have.. but ladies, if you all haven't signed up, fight for the free food tasting..

Racherlle,
Wah...$400 bucks more! very ex hor! :?
Sleepsleep,
guess my offered pktg price is the same as urs. $20 more than the website price(2004). too bad lah, since the 2005 pktg is already out, rasa will def stick to it mah....bo bian!
as wat, racherlle had said, sleepsleep i think u better roughly estimate the no. of guests u may be expecting n block tt room 1st. but of cos, its better to go down n take alook at the rms.

sleepysleep.. think you consolidate what are the things you can neg for based on this thread.. like what we rasa brides manage to get, then you neg for them.. rem, neg as much as you can before you signed up with them..
By the way, if you tentatively booked the date based on less than 30 tables, most probably they'll reserve Pavilion for you, if 30 tables or more, then will be Siloso..
Hallie, the packages from the website is not updated yet.. it is still based on 2004 rate,the one perry email you should 2005/2006 rate..
Rachelle, who is your coordinator?
