Hi ladies,

I am new here and am glad I found this website. It seems exciting and has many useful information to help with my wedding preparation.
I plan to get married in late 2012 or early 2013. May I ask how early should my fiance and I begin our preparation such as booking hotel?

thank you.

Hello jewee! Welcome!!

You should start preparing right now!! If you are looking at weekends for late 2012, im afraid most venues are taken.. Early 2013 might still be available.. Work out your draft guest list, determine the number of tables you need and off you go to hunt for venues that can cater to your needs..

I have consolidated my own list of hotels, number of ballrooms they have, min and max for the ballroom, price per table, etc. Do let me know if you would like to have a copy.. Have fun planning!

Hi,

I am intending to hold my wedding in end 2012 but most hotels are taken on weekends! Thus I will most probably consider holding it on a weekday instead. Do you think its advisable to hold on weekdays?

I am currently looking at Mandarin Oriental and per table cost about $1200 on a weekday.

First of all, congrats! =)

Yup, 2012 is a hot year and thus it is advisable to make early booking.

Weekends lunch banquet also fully booked?
Weekdays is ok also but have to consider for those who are working or having kids who needs to wake up early for school.

If you don't mind waiting, maybe can see if early 2013 is still available??

Hi adrikoh.. I'm holding my dinner at marina mandarin too.. which ballroom are you using?? the big ballroom or venda ballroom?? hehe.. anyway I will be holding my wedding dinner on 17 Feb 2012. =D

My friend who is working in Sentosa inform me there is a wedding showcase in Amara at 38nett per couple.

The showcase includes Fengshui talks, Hi tea reception, live band, bridal gown from La belle couture and French Sabre D'or (sword to open champagne presentation)...can consider.

They hinted Amara intends to give good discounts for couple who confirmed their booking for 2012 solemnization/ banquet...(2 complimentary night stay and their Full Glass Garden Pavilion etc)....you may look for zoulla for Site inspection form to waive off sentosa gateway gantry to enter...but must register first....worth considering
