hi girls,
met up with my co-or already, erm didnt really bargain.. more to clear my doubt on certain issue and bring me ard only.
what i recalled after the met up with him:
pavilion:
longer march-in
abit "open" reception area coz a coffeehse for hotel guests are actually also outside the ballroom.
siloso:
very short march-in from the center entrance and the stage is in the center. will be ok if bride n groom march-in from both end, meet in center then up the stage. u can try to shift the stage to the other end, but i think those ppl sitting @ the back might find it a little far.
enclose reception area. there's 2 room 'in' the reception area and if the room is free for that night, u can used it to change ur evening gown n etc.
overall:
quite like their floral decro, said that the flower is new for every wedding. 3 types to choose from, roses, something like daisy, 3rd one i dont know what hehe so sorry. 2 natural colours to choose from.
both ballroom can be dimmed for march-in. [ask this coz previous posts some ppl comment cant be dimmed for one of the ballroom, maybe they changed liao so can dim?]
erm buffet dinner can be topped up, but if towards the end of the dinner they will not top. scare of food wastage i guess.
white fence area will be gone after the renov, coz the restuarant at the top of the 'slope' will expand to the white fence area.
should be able to get waival for lawn rental if it is a total outdoor event but only buffet dinner, no chinese dinner.
was charged $28nett for hse wine.
and $160 for weekday, $180 for weekend guest room stay [sea-view].
only sat is consider weekend
there will be dry ice effect for 1st dish presentation.
i think i heard free food tasting, so gotta confirm with him again. was told that if need a re-taste, sorta can taste the selected food only and pay for the price of the dish. however, the dish-size is for 10 ppl. cant really imagine if 2 ppl go down to eat a 10 person amt fish.
he gave me up to 20th dec to decide on confirmation, after that he will release the date. when i ask him like "heard some relative said that some hotel can hold tentative booking till the date itself unless other ppl wanted the same date"
he replied something like other co-ordinator can access the system and book the date. so i am not sure if he will really release the date after 20th dec. i think mine was a hot date, so hope i can wait till wedding fair. else if really taken up then i will be =( already and might not want to have dinner liao heee..
deposit is 2k, not refundable if the dinner is cancelled. but you can change date.
i think die die also need to hit min. 25 tables but mine is tuesday night, really dont know what will be the turn up rate.
u can exchange invites, favor, guest book for hotel rooms, beer [not sure for wine]
i still get that anni dinner and not the spa voucher..
haha that's all and i think most info is the same hehee, sorry for the long mail.
