[yipigo]

when is ur rom? i had made an apptment w tiffany nxt wed for site inspection. infact im quite satisfied w their package, mreover includin 1 nite stay, but den was afraid it wil be v hot during lunch time.

 

[strawberrie1983]

16/12/08..yah i think is worth it lo..other den buffet, nite stay, complimentary carpark for VIP..ok la..heard that svc is nt bad oso..

 

[yipigo]

Stella, wat package did u choose? lunch or hi-tea? function rm or outdoor?

 

[strawberrie1983]

I chose Lunch and poolside..

 

[yipigo]

stella: I was tinkin of tt too but i was afraid it was too hot in e afternoon. may i noe u hv ur buffet at the function room or the outdoor area?

 

[strawberrie1983]

I chose outdoor..if u were to choose solemnise at poolside, buffet at function rm, think have to pay additional $500 for rental of poolside..if i'm not wrong..

 

[yipigo]

stella: ic..ya additional cost..

 

[elmove]

hi everyone,

thinking of doing a lunch by the poolside, but afraid it's a bit too hot..

 

[strawberrie1983]

elmove: i heard the comments is not bad lo..i ahve not try yet la..coz my rom oni on 16 dec..haha
i am scare it will rain instead of hot weather lo..

 

[carolyee]

wahh.... do give us the comments of amara after ur rom in dec okie? hehe.... i gonna have mine on 09 sept next yr.

 

[strawberrie1983]

okok sure..hope things goes on smoothly

 

[bbger]

yohoo...i'm back! haha...had my rom on 26 oct at the poolside pavilion. overall a very pleasant event. guests arrive at 1130am, started ceremony at 12noon sharp. after vows and photography session we started off the lunch. food is fantastic and service is good.

lucky thing about the weather is..it only rain at 1++pm. so pretty cooling throughout until after the rain.

 

[elmove]

congratulations lydia!
were your tables at the sheltered area or alfresco by the pavilion? just wondering if it'll be warm for guests seated alfresco...

 

[carolyee]

Congrats lydia~

Alamak... rains ah. den how? Will the makan tables get wet due to any wind or something? Feel relieved tat the food and service is good! Any photos to share? hehehe.. wanna see the deco and your rom day ~

 

[bbger]

tables were at the sheltered area. not hot cos they have big fans there. actual ceremony they place chairs at alfresco area, my sisters and guests sit there. i only took 4 more chairs into the pavilion for my mum, grandma,mil and sil.

it rained quite a fair bit at 1+pm but tables not wet. in fact it was rather windy. i took the standard deco, never add anything except my own russ bears and ring pillow. they have new theme now, its now white bird cage with flowers of your choice.

there's another couple taking the hi-tea. not sure if they sharing their experience here or not though

 

[carolyee]

woah... we can choose the flowers? You ask the wedding coordinator about the deco or she contact u to ask u choose the flowers of ur choice? Your wedding planner is Tiffany or Rebecca?
hmmmm.... I am worried about their deco actually because they seem to change deco once a while or something. I like the birdcage u mentioned. hehe... I dont what's mine for nxt year. I've seen it when my bf and i went for site inspection previously.

Mind to share any photos ? hehe...

 

[bbger]

my coordinator is tiffany. she'll actually email the checklist a month before your actual day and ask you to choose the floral deco.
i don't have many on decos. here are 3..

[strawberrie1983]

Yeah mi jus confirm the checklist with Tiffany on Sun..I didnt choose the bird cage..dun like the idea..so i opt back the flower petals on glass bowl..

 

[carolyee]

Hi lydia & stella,

Anyway,thanks alot!

 

[strawberrie1983]

Hi Carol, I had mailed u..ur ROM is next yr Sep right..aiyah still very early la..who knows they will change the theme next yr again..dun worry la

 

[carolyee]

Hi Stella,

Received ur mail.. thanks alot!
Woah... they changed to Maroon / Sandalwood napkins sia. previously i see is blue. and wat's Ivory Signature Scroll for ? guestbook?

haha... still need CD to march-in ah. Do we need mecees? Or the coordinator will plan it for us?

 

[strawberrie1983]

They say recently they are running low for napins, so they cant promise me which color to use on that day..signature scroll most likely is for guestbook..we jux need to provide 1 march in song for them..need to have 1 emcee and coordinators..on that day, Tiffany will meet us at 11am to brief us on the procedures

 

[carolyee]

oic.... woah.. den i mus tell my bf regarding this. we all tot no need any emcee or helpers. hehe. I still tot of getting a guestbook or something on tat day.

 

[strawberrie1983]

yayaya i dun intend to get emcees lo..coz is jus oni a 15mins ceremony..haiz..but anyway ok la

 

[carolyee]

yea.. getting emcees is like nothing leh.. maybe can get relatives or friends to help out as our coordinators..

 

[strawberrie1983]

yaya we are getting friends as emcees and my siblings as coordinators lo

 

[yipigo]

Hi all,

I had cfm w Amara for my rom. it wld be nxt yr 20.09.2009, lunch buffet. keke..

Carol: My coordinator is Tiffany. Ya she told me abt standby an emcee and coordinator. Il get my frd to help me...erm..ya for my package, signature bk and rose petals (1 pack) is included..

 

[yipigo]

sorri ar abit side track, hv u gals bk ur JPs? any recommendation. Carol, since both of us rom nxt yr sept, isit too early to bk e JP nw but den our rom date is a hot date lei.

 

[carolyee]

Hi Shirley! I chose Hi-tea instead of buffet due to the budget that my FH and i decided initially. hehe. My coordinator is Rebecca. I feel she didn't tell me alot of details as compared to Tiffany leh.. *worried*
I don't even know if my package includes signature bk or rose petals!!!! How sia~

I have not booked JP yet... my FH not gan jiong at all leh... only say I too gan jiong spider. Even PG he says wait wait wait... sigh~

I also got no idea if we need to book a JP early due to our hot dates. Anyone can help us? hehe

 

[strawberrie1983]

Shirley: yah the glass bowl inside, there will be rose petals..well though 20/09/09 is hot date..but i still think is too early to book lo..anyway next yr price got increase anot? do u intend to hold banquet dinner?

 

[yipigo]

Carol: erm...we din go for hi-tea cos we feel tt its nt filling for our guests, moreover we r sure most of our guests wil cum empty-stomach...thus wana dem to hv a gd meal.
erm..i hv started lookin for JP cos i was afraid I might nt get a gd one...its beta to react fast than later esp both our dates r hot date.

Stella: erm..for my rom package, it wil stil be e same as '08 price. erm, my banquet wil be in 2yrs time ba. nt so fast...u lei?
btw pls show us ur pics after ur rom in dec ok?

 

[yipigo]

btw, nearly forgotten sumting: do we need to include e JP in e guest list? will he be sitting dwn to dine w us or he wil leave shortly after the ceremony?

 

[strawberrie1983]

Shirley: my rom will be 16/12/08..AD will be 15/11/09..I will not invite JP lo..coz dono she will gif hongbao..and somemore have to pay additional head count..

 

[carolyee]

Same here. i also wont include JP in my guest list because since its a hot date, he or she might be busy to attend other solemnization. ha!

I chose hi-tea because its a weekday and most of my guests will probably just take 1/2 day leave from work.

 

[strawberrie1983]

so how are u gg to tell ur JP that u r nt inviting him/her? I dono how to mention to her leh..

 

[jiajun]

hi all,

i haf my ceremony in amara before too. Most JP will leave after the ceremony, so no need to include them.

 

[jiajun]

[carolyee]

hi jiahe&jiajun...

how's the procedure of the ROM at amara? will the wedding coordinator tell u wat to do at different timing?

 

[jiajun]

For us, we ask her to help us do a simple MC like asking us to come in then we proceed with the march in.

Thereafter the JP took over then ceremony, after that we proceed to buffet.

 

[yipigo]

jiahe&jiajun: thks. ya i tink dun nd to include JP.
