hi gals, sorry i din really look at the thread anymore due to busy schedule. i finish my rom last yr in nov 2008. i got the quotation from Ghaz in Jan 2008 as given:
"Please find the packages as stated below:
High Tea Solemnization Package
9am to 12 pm) ( 2pm to 5pm)
S$42++ per pax
minimum of 50 pax
Buffet Lunch Package
11am to 3 pm)
S$55++ per pax
minimum of 50 pax
Buffet Dinner Package
5pm to 11 pm)
S$60++ to S70++ per pax ( Depend on the menu chosen)
minimum of 50 pax
All the packages Includes:
- free flow of soft drinks (christina allows me to bring my own fruit punch mix as i m particular about the colour of the drink and get the staff from vanilla pod to help me mix the drinks at no charges, she even went to help me seek advice from the restuarant on how many bottls of fruit punch syrup to buy for the no of guests i have)
- choice of venues (dining and solemnization)(which I was given vanilla pod for the venue which was really lovely)
- decorations of venues (hmm the decor for the railings and organza sash for guests chairs is not included of cos)
- elegant white seat covers for all chairs
- floral center pieces on all tables (but petals is not included so u need to prep your own one. christina did offer to hlp me prep but i turn her down as i prefer to do it on my own)
- invitation cards (60% based on guaranteed number of guests)
- wedding favours (mini potted plants) for all guests (ghaz only let me choose between silver and gold which is bullshit and super inflexible. after chritna took over she told me to go to the florise to get the ribbons of the colour i want which cost me like only perhaps 3 bucks and she and her assistant will tie the ribbon on the pot for me so that the flow is there)
- free parking facility and garden entry for all guests
- Backgroud music for the dining area. Any further sound system with microphones chargeable at $ 400.00++(sound system is super so so and not really that good according to my best friend who usually work with professional soundman at various events. but to novices like me i think i can accept it =))
"
hope the infor helps i am quite irk by the fact that they don't ever update their pricing on the webby since 2005 ? and now even charging pple for the favours(sigh) even tho the pricing per pax is much higher right now.
anyway i don't see christina's name mentioned in around in the thread, does it mean she is no longer working over there? i think she is really so good that i think i was freaking lucky that she went back to MOG for work(and replace that arrogant and rigid Ghaz) during my rom time. her service was really so value added as compared to Ghaz.
Anyway if you are into capturing the pics of the garden, do have ur wedding during the day time even though it might be hot. my cousin once attended dinner at night there and he told me that it was very dark outside the restaurant and he can't see much of the garden. so this might be something u need to consider. however, if given the right coordinator, the place is really beautiful for holding the wedding =)
