The Sentosa, A Beaufort Hotel

- Start date
queen, pokkiebearie,
what sort of theme or flowers are you after? i think if you're going for roses or something simple, audrey's shouldn't be a wrong choice and can help you save money. if i'm not wrong, i think audrey's charges about $600 for a wedding dinner setup.
my florist is woodsville (tel:6345 2203) and they helped me fill the ballroom with lots & lots of cymbidium, dendrobium orchids and astromeria for around $1k. what i did was i told them my wedding theme, what sort of flowers & colours i like and of course, my budget. i was going for the theme of a tropical garden and i must say, they were very generous with their flowers and even threw in some freebies. woodsville is also fullerton's and raffles hotel's florist so you can be assured of their works. i did have a few compliments on the flowers (& they were all from girls!!
)
my suggestion to you both is to really look hard at your budget to decide if you really want to spend more on flowers bcoz at the end of the day, not many of your guests will remember the flowers but rather the whole evening and spending more on flowers may mean spending lesser on other things like wine or entertainment. but if you have a fat fat budget, then splurge by all means!! (i did have a $4k quote from another florist.. interested?? damn nice flowers though..)
pokkiebearie
i had a 3 tier cake for $300 with 1 tier real cake (5kg). i have done some price comparisons and concluded that beaufort's price is okay. the price doesn't include fresh flowers for decor. what sort of cake are you after?
panzz,
yep, we had our solemisation at the villa and managed to fit quite a few people there. the ceremony was simple and lovely and i think the place had a lot to do with it. didn't regret on the villa and i can't wait to see my wedding video.

Hazelnut,
Sounds really lovely and am glad you had a good time! I wish I can stay at the villa again some day. Would be really cool...i think if I have my first kid and want to organise a party for her/his first birthday, i just might take the villa again
It would be a little too extravagant if we were to stay there alone, just me and hubby. Would prefer to have some event held, have close relatives and friends stay over. Hee..

touraco,
i've exchanged audrey's for wine corkage.
not sure about the baker you've mentioned. mine was pretty last minute so i did a quick price comparisons to other hotels and some florists only. think you would want to check if the AMK one includes assembly and transport. also, what sort of cake it is 'cos different kind of cake will render different charges. mine's only 1 tier but it was more than enough for my party.

Hi babu!
Welcome back! Phuket...wow, must have been a good break.
So lucky to have a FH to pay for everything! you FH must be rich
Yah lah, have to share the wedding cost, my FH and I have been saving through a joint account and the money will come from there loh. Quite typical. I think most couples here will do that. Which is good as a marriage is a commitment between 2 people, sharing the cost and preparation work for the wedding is the first step towards spending the rest of their lives together. But this is just my opinion... Well, if your FH can afford it...aiya, why not?
Gals,
I'm serious about talking to Sun Sun about the lousy Audrey's. Are you girls keen? We can all go down and talk to her, more convincing in numbers.
Panzz/Hazelnut,
The villa sounds damn good. Really tempted.
But $800+ a night is a concern.

hullo...how's phuket?
i think since you are nt working,it's ok that your FH pays for the rest.
i have heard of the western culture before too...they say it's ok to see your gown but u cannot have the full package as in...maybe u wear the gown without the veil or glove etc
queen
how will you tell sun sun abt audrey's? me scared they won't change as well since they might have to pay compensation if they break the contract before it ends.

Queen,
Yes 800+ is really not worthwhile if it is just for a stay. Especially on your wedding day where you probably will be too tired to enjoy. We had our solemnization there so it's equivalent to renting a "function room" of some sorts. We fully utilised the villa so we went ahead and got it for the day.
Whatever it is, perhaps you should go down and take a look first before you decide. I think the toilets are the coolest I've seen so far in hotels here. So spacious! Doing makeup and changing is really easy. My bridesmaids, MIL and relatives were all using the toilet for changing and doing makeup.
Babu, welcome back to the thread. You are lucky to have your FH paying for you. I went 50-50 with my husband
As for bad luck... actually it reminds me of something I told a close friend just before my wedding. She was getting married 3 months later and she didnt' want to turn up for my wedding even though we are friends for more than 10 years. And her reason was if she came, our marriages will fail.. chinese tradition kinda thing where we will bring each other bad luck. Sigh.. all i can say is ... whether a marriage works or not doesn't depend on luck. It depends on the two persons in the marriage. So don't take these kind of things too seriously la... If can go according to belief or tradition, then go ahead.. if cannot, don't get too upset too. Hee.. sorry, a bit naggy Anyway, in the end, she did turn up for my wedding.
And yes, if you booked beaufort.. by default, audreys will be your florist unless you tell sun sun you want to exchange flowers for some other things... and then you spend money to engage external florist.

Hi gals,
So possible to get a consensus on what we'd like to do with regards to flowers?
Those in favour of meeting together one day at Beaufort to tell Sunsun (can also share ideas as babu suggested) say "Audreys", and those who prefer to do it privately at their own time say "Sucks". hee hee...
ok lah, joking aside, if anyone wants to meet, could we have a date (perhaps Saturday?) and time (say 3pm?)?
hazelnut, I still not sure about having real cake cos it seems really expensive, so jus gathering info at the moment...altho I do feel a lil' silly cutting a dummy cake...

panzz,
have a safe trip to taiwan.
gals,
i doubt beaufort will do very much about the flowers even if all of us make noise about it. it probably boils down to the costing of their wedding packages. i have heard some top-class hotel in town gave florists $2 per table budget so can't expect too much... afterall, we're given a choice if not using audrey's and exchange the flowers for something else. i think you should keep an open mind and go take a look at audrey's first and who knows, you may find their style quite suitable (i believe style's quite personal). for me, i'm particularly fond of flowers (personal interest) so i was picky about the flowers. go see audrey's soon so that in case you don't like what you see, you'll still have time to source for alternative florist.
babu,
welcome back! my AD was last month. when's yours? if you still don't know where you should start with your preparations, get a copy of female bride (or any bridal magazine) and use their wedding planner as a guide. it tells you what & when you should be preparing. from my experience, the first & foremost thing you would need to sort out with your FH is your budget and guest list. then, at least you know how much you can spend and how big a party you should be planning for...
you seemed quite worried about the wedding expenses. just out of curiousity, do you really need to have a banquet? it's no fun having to start a marriage debt-ridden...
pokkiebearie,
yah, i thought it was quite silly to cut a dummy cake so had a real one made instead. you still have time to ponder about the cake. most places i've asked need about 2-3 weeks to make the cake.
touraco,
beaufort can do any cake of your choice. you can even give them your design. i can't remember how many people had my wedding cake but it was more than enough 'cos we had it after dinner and everyone was full...
queen,
don't deny that the villa is costly but it was nice... are you taking the grand salon & lawn for your wedding? the setup for the lawn is nice as well. it's just that i didn't have that choice on my AD.

I know that even if ang mos know what's ang baos, they find it "very distasteful to give money" (that was exactly what one told me) and even tho they know that $'s what we prefer. So why don't you go get a gift list done (eg. with tangs) so that the ang mos can contribute to your new home's furnishing or electrical appliances. So at least you won't end up with useless gifts. And send out the gift list together with your invites.

touraco,
did you mean to serve cake during the banquet? think you can ask sun sun if she can help you arrange for the cake to be served during the banquet. i didn't serve cake during the dinner but had it at a private gathering after dinner.
apple,
what flowers are you thinking of using? best to get audrey's to do a mockup for you before you decide.
babu,
which villa did you see on sunday? was it villa 1? how many guests are you intending to invite for your solemnisation? are you intending to hold the ceremony indoors or outdoors? the villa would struggle to be comfortable for more than 40 people. i think you can cater food at the villas but it must be from the hotel. how much did beaufort quote you on the villa? they are quite fixed on prices so i don't think there would be variations.
which ballroom are you using?

touraco,
check with sun sun if the hotel can help you cut and serve the cake as dessert. i'ved asked her before and she was willing to help me arrange with the banquet team. you'd probably have to spend abit more if you're serving cake to all guests... are you thinking of replacing the banquet package dessert with the cake? or both together? i think both together will be plentiful for guests to finish...
babu,
the villa works out to be around $1k after taxes. not sure if they've revised the rates recently 'cos i booked my package a while ago. since you're using the grand salon, why don't you considerable using ginger terrace (but must pay...) or the foyer next to the grand salon? i think there's no charge for the foyer so maybe can help you cut down on expenses but probably may not have much privacy if there's another wedding at the other ballroom.
racherlle,
welcome to the thread! from what i know, there's no wedding show this year 'cos they're booked till 2005. check with sun sun by all means... have you booked with her already?

babu,
the price sun sun told you is before the taxes (+++) so the ginger terrace is a little bit more than the villa. think about how many people you'd inviting before you decide 'cos the villa wouldn't be comfortable for a huge party; too cramp for guests to move around and also difficult to get good pictures... i had to restrict my party to a small one because of the space constraint.
racherlle,
like i told babu, before you do anything, you should sort out your wedding budget and guests list (just a rough one...). trust me on this... it would really help you plan your wedding. only then both you & your FH would know how big a wedding you want to have and how much you would want to spend.
better confirm with sun sun if there's going to a wedding show... but from my experience, the freebies aren't that attractive... regarding the contract, you should be looking out for things which you may want but are not included in the package and then discuss with sun sun. but be warned, beaufort tends to be a little inflexible with requests. their package is quite standard but wedding cards are not included so sometimes, i find other hotel's packages more comprehensive.
do you already have a jp in mind? guess it's never too early even if you book him/her now.

Hi Panzz!
Yep, quieten down a bit.
Girls, just to let you all know I'll be going to Bangkok next weekend to tailor make my FH's suit and maybe to get wedding cards if cheap. Will also be shopping for bridesmaids' dress fabrics and thai silk for my mom. Not too sure if the fabrics there are cheaper, so will be checking out the prices at Arab street first.
Will share info with you all if I do get some cheap and good deals over there!

girl ren yu, the villa won't be able to hold 250 people. You pay 800 (excluding gst, hotel tax etc) for upgrading your actual wedding day stay at a deluxe suite to a villa. Not too sure about catering your own though, maybe you can check with sun sun. But I think should be ok.
