Banquet venue confirmed!!

OH wedding coordinator, Xue Ling called up Chris last Friday confirming that the 1st alternate date we wanted (6 Aug'11) is available and she can retain the wedding show promo package for us too.. Happy!!!

The wedding show promo package is as below:
- prices are in NETT price.. so whatever price is stated is inclusive of GST & service charge.. great money saver.. one friend of ours spent abt $7k just on GST!!

- $49 cash rebate per table.. so that works out to be $980nett per table.. withing our budget of < $1k per table

- free flow of beer (tiger beer) & wine (red & white) for 3 hrs thru out the dinner.. this way we don't have to spend extra to buy wine.. if we buy too little will not reflect well on us.. buy too much will have to think of ways to sell off the excessive wine.. so the free flow is so ideal! the alcoholic guest can drink non-stop and we don't have to worry about too little or too much wine left over..

- $49 cash rebate also applies for muslim & vegetarian menu as long as the number of guests are in multipies of 10.. which mean if I have 15 muslim/vegan friends.. I will pay $98nett/pax for the 10 guests and $102.90nett/pax for the remaining 5.. I don't think any other hotel gives more rebate on top of the rebate given..

- Xue Ling increased the invitation cards to 80% and carpark coupons to 30%.. AH say its expected lah..

- The others are quite standard thruout all the hotels' package.. Free VIP carpark lot, food tasting, wedding favours, blahblah..

The only setback is OH doesn't provide a day helpers' room.. Xue Ling says the price is already at discounted price, so can't add on the helpers' room.. Nevertheless, we have favour with God.. and our AD is 1.5yrs away.. so who knows we will get 1 helpers' room that night :)

Overall, we are very satisfied with OH and the service provided.. Chris also give thumbups for the ballroom and wedding coordinator.. now waiting for Xue Ling to draft out the contract for us & we are ready to pay the deposit during the weekend..
