Kancheong King... Where To Hold Customary Dinner?

[Phantom 1]

oh then good luck to you...heh heh

then you might want to consider other hotels lor...frankly speaking, novotel quite good..i went there to view the ballroom before and was quite impressed...the ballroom is pillarless and high ceiling, the entire floor is yours too so the exclusivity factor is there, dun have to worry about confusion..the package isn't that ex too and if I rem correctly, their prices are nett prices, which means no GST..and you have 4 kinds of menu to chose from..prices vary from 600+ to 800+....quite reasonable..food is prepared by dragon phoenix restaurant...i think they can hold up to 40 tables....fits your requirements no?? But I'm talking abt 2007 pricing.....they might have revised the pricing for 2008 but still, worth considering...

don't like novotel.. lol.. now its really intercon and GCW fighting neck to neck.. lol...

if Mrs phantom can magic up deal with them.. then we'll go for intercon.. if not.. GCW..

we LURVE the black Opulent Desire theme.... !!

your husband rich mah.. lol..

so all ang paos go back to the both of you?

i thought the practice is

1) if husband and wife pay for everything.. ang pao go back to them.. then.. also must give a token dowry to the bride's family?

2) if not the bride's family ask for tables and the groom side will give.. this will be as good as dowry.

my hb will pay for everything in the wedding (BS to banquet) but he'll give my family's side about 10 tables or more. the ang bao i also don't know how b'cos i don't think my mum also want the ang bao $$$. she isn't selling daughter so doesn't want the ang bao $$$.

Haha hey I love that theme too....thought it's something differnet from the usual white white weddings but I went to view the wedding set-up using this theme on a weekend and found that the tables are really too black lah...it will be nice if the chair covers are in gold or red....but chair covers also black..makes the whole ballroom look weird lor...the stage background will be in red too so if you wife is wearing red evenign gown, she will totally blend into the background...wait take photos cannot see her ok...i'm speaking for myself too cos my EG is red also...muahaha...so in the end, i decided to change my theme...haha...going to view more wedding with different themes again....might be getting the charming elegance theme....love the simplicity....

intercon is pretty strict on perks though....we tried negotiating for more freebies but they were quite firm on that....even negotiate for more car park passes also difficult cos they said they sharing carpark with bugis junction...the coordinator also told us that if your wedding is on a sat, it will be difficult to find parking lor...but since yours is on a weekday i dun think shd hv any problem...

now that you have shortlisted, it shd be easier for you already...

nowadays, many hotels have black and red theme. swissotel the stamford also has black and red theme but we didn't choose due to the black color where chinese tradition doesn't like it. STS also very strict on perks. haiz, no means no lor.

since intercon and GCW are your shortlisted hotels then go for intercon lor. location wise is better than GCW.

don't forget the GST increased! the price will be affected. luckily, we booked early this year liao where the GST is still 5%. haha.

korea's hubby rich sia... pay for everything..

I don't have such good life.. everything got to share with my hubby..

Sometime I abit regret on signing up with oriental.. I scare lugi too much, both of us cannot tahan.. this is called 'Ai sui mai mia'. Nice things always need more money.

now got to save and save lor.. cut cost in other things like bridal package.. I took up OTR package (my coordinator assured me OTR is good enough ) Save on PG and VG.. save on florist (becoz my mum is a florist, can leech on her.. hahaha.. )

no lah. my hb isn't rich.

btw, how come your hotel didn't include florist into the wedding package?? this morning, diva also asked me this qns. swissotel the stamford has 2 florists for us to choose and the florist is included in the wedding package. the flower that provided is roses. i feel that roses are good enough.

frankly speaking, the diamond ring he bought for me can hold a wedding banquet liao.

Not sure.. should be white roses...

I told my coordinator that I dont want hand bouquets, car deco and cosages.. can exchange for 3 PS photos.. why not.. i doubt those flowers cost that much.. Then save on PS photos, try to stop myself from topping up extra..

you mean oriental provides white roses only?? we can choose other colors of roses beside white color. co-ordinator? from the hotel or the BS?

i thought hand bouquet, cosages, car deco, photos are all done by BS and not hotel. hotel only provides florist to deco the ballroom mah.

btw, what the theme for your ballroom deco? ours is lots of crystals, want to look elegant and grand.

the colour of the flowers goes with the theme.. if purposely change something different that does not much the theme, then no point.

I am talking abt hand bouquet, cosages, car deco from BS.. nothing to do with hotel..

I will be choosing Love Theme.. this is the picture of the layout.. I find it have a grand feeling..

[xinyi_reiko 0]

which hotel is this? the arrangement looks nice!

This is from oriental hotel.
