Kancheong King... Where To Hold Customary Dinner?

[korea 0]

agree on this... we chose 4 stars (i think M hotel is under 4 stars) not coz we wanna make a profit. is more of we calculated how much we wanna spend per table and on the whole banquet then we decide which hotel

so in this case, 5 stars is out for us

we actually had mentally prepared to make a loss of at most $5k... but luckily din loh din really expect a profit...

another thing i like abt M hotel is the location. though not very near to the MRT but at least not too far. oso, there wont be a traffic jam coz it's not in the busy city... plus, the lobby gives a very serene feeling...

wanted to take a look at Amara coz like the "zen" feeling but in the end gave up coz heard of some bad critics there

ya... orchard parade is quite old... but the entire look of it looks quite unique

sometimes, if very "heng" or the guests know how to do people then probably a 5 stars hotel also can make a bit profit or breakeven. don't anyhow invite tom, dick and harry lah then should be ok.

haha... agree agree...

that's why we oso limit the number of guests our parents can invite by limiting the number of tables

Wow....i haven' logged on for 24 hours nia and the posts are already so long...

Phantom, Jazz bridal not ex...i was quite surprised too...actually their packages are quite reasonable...i signed the package during roadshow...their service not bad also...

Wah u all planning for so many bottles of wine ah?!? Hm...we only planning to order 24 bottles from the hotel leh....cos min order is 12 bottles.....wana limit costs....they only waive corkage for hard liquor but not red wine....

Meritus mandarin got pillars meh?? I just went there for my d&d leh....not bad leh....pillarless and high ceiling..the chandeliers are very nice too...but food cannot make it....all cold cold one...but maybe d&d menu always cannot make it....

Wow hey compassvale, is that four seasons?? Very nice! I wanted there too but very very ex....i love the ballroom....unfortunately, my hubby doesn't like it.....love the reception area and the huge huge washroom....heh heh...

soo many posts within a day

kakaka... my fren say means those who went mah... not wrong rite?

hmm... if u wan independent studio, it's like that... actually i tink the whole amt will almost be the same if u sign up with those 1-stop BS and top up their photos...

my PIL pay that one is meant for my dowry

but we did not accept. we returned the money back to them. so that when hubby's siblings need money for their education or wedding, the parents can just get the money from there

i oso never get any subsidy from my parents. everything we paid on our own. coz since i didnt want my parents to fork out a single cent, it's only fair that his parents oso no need to do so.

ha ha.. not wrong not wrong..

i'm thinking of signing with an independent studio because the photos like nicer..

wah.. so you also like us and many others.. fork out on our own...shiong hor..

i oso didnt top up much. we only exceed the given number by ard 3 or 4 photos. then my BS counter-proposed a deal which if we topped up 1K, we will get additional 12 photos (she later threw in another 1 photo free for us ) as well as the negatives, extra table top and another 3-in-1 photo (we chose the portrait one initially). which means we have 2 table tops, 1 portrait, 1 3-in-1 and negatives etc...

just choose 1 photo each from 1 pose (they usually take a few) and then reselect if required... like that high chance will not overshoot

my WG oso considered abit victorian...

i love victorian styles! very elegant!

oh... my hotel oso has free waivers for wine and free floor of beer. even have helper room and the bridal suite has jaccuzi the coordinator told us not to take their house wine coz it's too expensive.

Phantom, what abt Meritus Mandarin? have u went there to take a look? the bigger ballroom looks nice... but the price is expensive (to us) that's why we didnt take...

my fren took intercon and she suffered 10k of loss...

Mine is in M Hotel, Banquet Suite...

keke... we decided the venue and then bring both our parents there to see.

din choose a big one (luckily) coz we din wanna fork out too much money.

luckily coz MIL had planned to invite the "whole village" but due to seats constraints, she can only invite those closer frens

i went to meritus just last week.. for a friends wedding.. have pillar..

i don't like.. and not cheap.. also abt 900++..

yah.. intercon is expensive..

ha ha ha... sometimes must give them some constraints.. if not they invite the whole world..

ya... the photos compassvale show very nice... isit gold and black theme?? very elegant!

hmm... if u're more particular abt the photos then u can go see how much it will cost for indep studio...

lol... i still got plenty of time for the bs.. maybe i'll put jazz bridal under the tick list to visit..

eh.. 24 bottles like not enough leh.. i'm thining.. maybe 1-2 bottles per table should be ok..

can neg. with them on the waiver mah.. not meh?

i think its the grand ballroom no pillars lah...

my hubby oso never initiates anything

i just told him to do some of the tings... but initially he oso ai mai ai mai..

it's only 2 weeks before our AD that i sprained my ankle then he stepped in and did most of the stuff

eg. i had arranged to get No sharks fins card from a person and as i sprained my ankle, i cant move ard

so he went to collect from the person instead

and my PIL's table arrangement all chaotic... coz they invited more than the available number of ppl... i told him to settle it himself or if his parents' guests have no seats then throw face is not my prob liaoz
