[lol_lyn]

Hi ck,

I think the pics that coyote posted looks more complicated to do, of cos nicer lah. The one carol emailed us looks easiler. Since we can't engaged outside florist to do, so the easiler one is a better option for me.

 

[lol_lyn]

Hi cocoberry,

if you want, can also email to me. hehe

[email protected]

Amara doesn't allow any outside florist, so for the drapes, roses petals, we're just get from carol.

 

[coyote]

Lynn, can email the one Carol sent to u and the quote pls? Tks.

 

[coyote]

ck, Lynn...help! Did u sign up any ROM package wif Carol to help supplying wedding stuffs? Carol said she only supply drapes to ppl who signed up wif her

 

[ck~]

hi coyote,

haven't sign up yet leh ...
even if i sign up with her how to help u ?
she already told u must have package with her ...

maybe u can buy the drapes from spotlight ?
or dun do the drapes .. just drap some ribbons around pavilion ?

 

[coyote]

Carol said she will check with her fabric supplier to see in time to supply me the drapes boh.

ck, can send the drape deco frm Carol to me pls? Tks. At [email protected]

 

[ck~]

hi coyote,

[coyote]

Amara doesn't allow outside florist to do decoration there..so you got get your helpers to help.

 

[lol_lyn]

Hi Coyote,

Gald to hear you have a wonderful wedding!

COCKUP AMARA??? hum?

 

[coyote]

Basically Michelle screwed up lotsa stuffs...

On the eve, she called me to say they not enuff dry-ice for me as march-in...blah blah..borrow frm banquet manager oso not enuff so cannot provide as promised...blah blah. Gave so much excuses no use, the thing is she simply din order dry-ice for me as promised loh. Tis is sth I can give n take...so still ok

I asked for her mobile no. so tat I can contact her on AD as she won't b always at her desk picking up my call mah. She said dun need as she will be at my event so anything can talk to her there. Ya rite! All day/nite I only see her twice. Once is she showing her potential customers to my wedding setup during our deco time. Another time is she come over to congrats us b4 start of our dinner.

I will be having my tea ceremony inside the hotel room and as Tropical room has only 1 chair. I specially requested Michelle to put in another same chair for my session. Agreed but when I entered my room ytd I din see tat chair n after chasing her again n still din c tat chair. In the end boh pian, use another un-match chair as substitution. Hopefully the foto turned out not too bad.

She oso promised to provide petals and peanuts for my cocktail....and I din see any loh. I exchanged my VIP floral deco for these petals u know? And in the end i see nothing.

Promised me green napkin and gave me shocking BLUE.....

All these not too bad u know.

Worst thing is....she gave the Banquet Manager (who is supposed to be helping us the whole nite but Michelle never informed me prior abt this arrangement) THE WRONG TABLE SETUP which was different from the layout plan she provided to me. In the end, my VIPs were sitting at guest table and a table of friends with kids have to move 3 TIMES in order to get to the correct table. The banquet manager was quite nice thou to last minute help us wif all the mess....n apologized. But Michelle din come n apologise.

Hubby very pissed off tat his friends needed to shift so many times... Seriving very slow. My guest asked for drinking straws got 1 hour

Last thing...i asked for late check-out few times frm Michelle liao and she said will get back to me. In the end I hear nothing.....aarrggghhh.. I still got to go reception this morn to check on this matter...buay tahan.

 

[cary]

hi coyote - not me looking for the jam favors lah hehe ... I already got my own favors

Aiyoh, how come like that? Did you managed to speak to Michelle at all about all these?

Hi lynn - will email Carol

thanks!

 

[coyote]

oops...paisey...wrong number...shld b cocoberry..kekekeke

she din appear leh and last nite we so busy entertaining our guests where got time to go speak to her on all these? I told she wld have come over to apologise at the least mah....

 

[ck~]

hi coyote,

that's pretty bad ...
how come like that ...
did u ring michelle up and demand an apology ...

 

[coyote]

Hi ck, not yet loh....last nite counting angbaos and beoing guestbk, slept quite late...den today need to return gown, etc. No time to think so much too. Juz let u gers know abt this incident loh. So tat u can b more prepared abt it.

 

[lol_lyn]

Hi Coyote,

Felt so sorry to hear dat Michelle actually made-so many mistakes..things she promised like the roses patals & green napkin, she din provide.

 

[lol_lyn]

Hi Coyote,

[ck~]

hhmnn ... coyote,
haiz ....

[amy03]

so sad

i had my wedding in nov 2003 - everything turns out well!

any pics to share?

 

[cocoberry]

Coyote,

so urs was the wedding dinner and not ROM?... how come like tt... but dun think we shd rub it in here... hopefully ur guest enjoyed themselves

thing that is spmething to be lad abt... so did u break even on ur dinner? how many tables in all huh?

as for the weddin favour, mine is too far to confirm so dunno what they offerin in 2006...

 

[coyote]

Hi Amy, believe ur wedding wasn't handle by Michelle rite? Pics not yet, shld be ready by end of this week

I oso very eager to see the fotos as we DIY the deco ourselves.

Hi coco & Lynn, no prob at all. Like i said b4...is a memorable, enchanted, beautiful wedding that I will remember it for the rest of my life. I am not unhappy about my wedding as I predicted/so-called prepared tat hiccups bound to have, I did lotsa preparation prior to that (I do company events too). And during point of liaising I have a bad impression of Amara's in-house florist. So I actually bring my own flowers, petals just in case. Just to share those hiccups created by Amara so tat u gers will b more prepared.

Mine is a wedding but only 7 tables so I took up the ROM package My buffet dinner is $55nett/pax loh. I have 62 guests that nite in 7 tables. I received much more to cover the cost as all are loved/closed ones that are very generous. The least amount I recieved is $60. Average is $100 angbao. No wedding favours for the ROM package. My BIL baked us chicken pies as the wedding favours

 

[ck~]

coyote,

how did u use the drapes to drap the pavilion ?
12m and have access ?
can share with me your pic ones it's ready ..
thanx thanx ...

great that u make more for your ang pow collection ..

 

[coyote]

yes yes ck, 12m of ivory organza and have excess coz my gerfrds did diff frm Carol's pic loh. But I like the one they did...more drapings...and more stuffs at the ctr so when the spotlight shone thru them...is very nice ctr piece. My gerfrd only lack of a round rose ball to hang in the ctr to make it more complete but I find tat is beautiful enuff. But my hubby & helpers spent alot of time deco and Amara very slow...to pass us a ladder took more than 30mins. Waste time....den my frds very poor things all sweat under the afternoon sun to deco for me

We oso put hanging candle vases along the edges of pavillion, vine leaves surrounding the 4 pillars. I hope my photographer got capture those so that I can show u gers.... All these deco made the evening very romantic and enchanting......
