hmm.. I'm not very sure too..

but I guess there's no definite time period. I would say a yr plus before the AD. However I did come across some BTB who book their BS a few yrs before AD as prices normally goes up and not down

Hi Kate,

Thanks for the reply.. any idea how much increase a year?? 5-10%?? hmm.... I m actually trying to get some quotes from some hotels.. and for bridal actually a bit worry to go in and ask.. get some feedback from friends that for somr bridal once u step in u will be stuck inside.. It sounds horrible..

hey gals out there.. any bridal to recommend? those that is not that agressive..

Hi diana,

I was the sameas u before.. Did not want to commit by stepping into the bridal studio. So they suggested me to attend bridal fair. More variety and also more 'space' to run away..

I signed mine at the fair.. More perks given too..

mmm.... haha.. quick flip newspaper!! haha..

Hello Astrogirl,

wah.. hmm.. If i sign up now then i will be charged with their 2006 price loh.. If the 2007 price comes out then will be under 2007 pricing? It is work this way?? that means the earlier i sign up, lesser I pay?? hmm.. then it is easier to get perks from them if i sign up early?

[dai_na_na]

okies.. Thank you thank you...

no prob at all....

as for yur banquet, it'a advisable to look ard 1 1/2 year before apparently if u wanna get v good dates(esp weekends). Tis is wat a lady fr the hotel told me.

For bridal package, it's advisable to ask them to let u take a look at their gowns and if possible even try out their gowns before deciding whether to take up. Tis will at least let u know if u like the style of their gown...

Cheers...

Actually, it's good to shop around for hotel venues for banquet,around 1.5year in advance but do take note that a few hotels are not available for booking yet as their prices may not be out yet. My personal experience.

Pillarless Grand Venus Ballroom at Furama Riverfront Hotel at lower than market price. Min 30 tables up to 55 tables. Weekday rate at $488+++ (current market price is $558+++) going at a discount. Package has to be consumed in year 2007. Due to personal reason, I am looking for a transfer URGENTLY.

This is the best deal you can get at a hotel in a grand pillarless ballroom. Better deal than the hotel's October Wedding Show offer last year. We have all done our research on hotels’ wedding banquets so we know.
