The Fullerton Hotel Singapore
- Thread starter joyce
- Start date
hello.. hehe.. din realised you gals posted.. paisey
Poox.. we went US for honeymoon.. to LA, LasVegas, Grand Canyon and San Fran.. was fun, but i still prefer Europe..
you have quite a while to decide if you wanna top up.. but i think it's worth it.. cos afterall, the wine itself cost almost as much or more (oh no.. i forgot!!)
We opened 3 barrels of beer, and wine just nice - we used up all 46 bottles of wine, and oni 2 bottles of hard liquor.
ya.. fullerton indeed beautiful.. it'll forever give me good memories of the most beautiful day of my life.
Matka..
haha.. nepal.. you hardcore leh!!
so how's married life??

Hi girls
Poox, yah.. *dreamy sigh* Everytime I travel on the Benjamin Sheares or on Shenton Way, I have this feeling... "that's OUR hotel". hahaha
Don't you girls feel that way too? <grin>
Besse,
After the luxury of staying in the double-storey suite, Nepal was a totally different experience. Rough-and-tumble. But a very, very good and insightful experience nonetheless.
Married life is good. The fact that we have the label "married" seems a bit surreal. Nothing seems to have changed really cept that we have to clean our own house, wash the dishes, clothes... and face the prospects of monthly bills... electricity et al. Bleah.

Hi Besse,
Wow.... 46 tables??? Can the ballroom take so many tables? Remember Elizabeth told me that with 43 tables already very cramp.
Mine is on 28/12/03. Still waiting for RSVP replies to determine wat is the final count of tables.
Remember to share ur actual day pics.
BTW any tips for Fullerton brides-to-be?

pam.. no prob with 46 tables.. max is 48 tables.. but trick is, try to plan your table with 11 pax so in case people last min can come and pull out.. will not affect your table dynamics too much.
in fact, 46 tables juz nice, not at all cramp.. still quite roomy...
but a feedback to all fullerton brides to be.. my guests at the end said they can really see us marching in from their table.. despite us requesting for all guests to be seated during the march in.. so maybe i can suggest that you all do a video out to the 2 screens at the side.
matka, got picts to share? i just got my ad picts ysday.. you can email me [email protected]

Hi wendy
you're still very early Don't worry abt the layout plan. It really depends on the number of tables you have and that changes as you get your RSVPs too. Perhaps you can ask your coordinator to give you a rough plan. The ballroom can fit 3 tables from the stairs to the stage.
The food portion is good. Everything is evenly spread out. The banquet staff will portion it out for your guests.

Hi Wendy
Glad to be of help. But mentor.. err.. don't call me that lar. I only contribute what i know. You actually have lots of time. In fact you only need to meet your coordinator a few times, and March is more than enough time. You'll probably have to worry abt your gowns more than you have to abt the hotel.
As for hotel rooms, the rate i got was a promotional $219 per night for a standard room (i think). But you should check it out with the hotel nearer the time because there might be promotions going on. Published rates are usually much higher.

hi girls
Wendy, nope we didn't change a single thing on the menu. The food was great.
I usually wear flats/sneakers. So I was generally afraid of tripping that day since i wore 3 1/2 inch heels. But it was fine. Just be confident when you walk around. My coordinator told me - don't look down when you walk down the stairs, just look straight and smile. If you feel like you're falling, give your husband's arm a jerk so that he'll know to support you more.
Everything went without a hitch. It'll be very obvious if you seem to concious about it
Besse, thanks
*blush* It's the wonders of make-up. hahahah.
Don't worry, i'll bug you for your pix in a while

Hi Besse,
Can share your pics with me?

Thanks!
Seeing you girls so satified with Fullerton for your wedding banquet, makes me look forward to mine.
2 more weeks to go!
Hi Matka,
We decided to do away with the first dish presentation song too. Still can't find the instrumental version of Rainbow Connection. Guess we have to find something else.

Besse,
When u mean "but trick is, try to plan your table with 11 pax so in case people last min can come and pull out.. will not affect your table dynamics too much", is it that those who "not sure can come or not" ones I put as 11th person so that when they turn up Fullerton will charge us for that person if that person doesn't turn up Fullerton does not charge us???
I have a few such cases, poor me still thinking if I should put them in or not. Any advice?

Hi girls
Pam, I found a 'karaoke' version of Rainbow Connection. But it doesn't sound too nice tho. I'll u/l it into my yahoo! briefcase and send you the link. Why don't you use a version with vocals by singers such as the Carpenters or Sarah McLachlan?
Besse, am viewing them now. Great pix!
Poox, i'll forward you my link

Hi Matka,
Hmm.... I think the Carpenters one is nice but Hubby prefers instrumental one coz we heard it being played live at Fullerton during our photoshoot and we love it.
Ok will get it from your my yahoo! briefcase later. Thanks for your help!
Mind sharing your pix wif me? Caught a glimpse of some of ur lovely pics from the ones u sent n would love to see more.
Thanks Wendy, BTW i'm also a BV bride. Same combination as poox a Fullerton BV bride.

Hi Poox, i like your date... it's my parents' wedding anniversary
Pam, why don't you ask your coordinator for the song then? It's probably in their CD collection. hehe. Unless, your 'live' meant a live pianist! I'm doing up my simple site, so i'm adding them a little by little, will send you the link soon

Pam..
you will have to confirm table with special guest diet or extra seatings 3-5 days before the actual date.. so for those with 11 pax (make sure not all tables are planned with 11 pax la), just confirmed with coordinator at 10 pax. then if the 11th person turn up, they can serve the 11th person (muz coordinate v well with your own helpers to inform the banquet manager 2 preset the table last min before guests go into the banquet hall, after they arrived at the reception) .. like that, they will only charge the 11th pax when utilised.
But if you confirm 11 pax with fullerton and only 10 turn up, den you will have to pay for 11 pax...
err... nt sure if you understand wat i trying to say... *sheepish grin*
ok.. will try email you gals the link..

hello
thanx besse and matka....your pic look great!! and fullerton is just so lovely esp with your happy and beautiful faces
matka, i have some problem viewing your video though....the first one doesn't load till the end and the other two cannot open. i also met up with Ami....am still considering whether to do a love story clip with her more$$$
besse: thanx for your advice on the seating arrangement....so if we utilise the 11th pax last min then we'll be charged....but how they portion the food? dish for 10 shared by 11???
Pam: Go hmv or that cd shop at pacific plaza....ask the people there...they should be able to help you with your song.
Wendy: Don't worry....u still have time
BV only needs about 5 months so you can visit them and decide when you're back. I've booked the simplicity package but am considering upgrading it as i would love to have a ballgown
see how it goes next week....going down to see her proposals

Hi Girls
Wendy, thanks!
Pam, Perhaps some orchestra has played the rainbow connection before.. but i'm not sure how drama that'll sound! You could try your luck calling up HMV's classical section. Their staff ought to be well-versed in the collections there.
If i remember correctly, a string quartet would probably cost abt $1k or more for 2 sets. Each set is 45 minutes. I think!
Poox, it's ok when i view the videos online. Perhaps it was just a bad connection then? I highly recommend doing the video if your budget permits. Our hearts also ached a little when we signed the contract (haha) but it was all worth it.
She's very passionate about doing the videos and she's got good concepts so you're really safe. Long-Story-Short was a hit with our guests when it was played during the dinner. I could hear the whole ballroom laughing when we were waiting outside for our 2nd entrance.
