Hi PerfectPixie,
Thanks for the info. M trying to confirm my date before starting to search for a hotel...

OMG, there are so much things to do, plan, research.... I dun even know where n how to start...

Congrats everyone. Im planning to hold my wedding in dec. Doing research and stuffs.. Realise most hotels has increase prices by 20% and deposit at least 5k compared to last year of 2.5k to 3k. Some hotels are practicing another 5k deposit 1mth before AD. Sweat man!
Prices are way to expensive.. Im thinking of weekend lunch or werkday dinner. Prices are more affordable. )

Eelin, do note for auspicious date like 12-12-12 or 2012 2012, most hotels have a surcharge of $100-$150 per table. depend if you have many tables, actually quite exp. I have booked but thinking of changing date as the extra cost (for me is Ard $4k) for 25 tables can be used for holiday instead.

hi ladies,

I will be getting married in end 2012... am thinking if it's too early to source for hotels now? because most of the pricing for 2012 end is not out yet.

[starryz]

hey bel, congrats! and its definitely not too early! Most 2012 banquet pricing is going to come out next month i think but you can start making appointments to view the ballrooms of some of your chosen hotels. you can refer to the 2011-early 2012 pricing for a rough guage.

Just beginning to source for BS. Big headache
For me: Choosing BS is much more difficult/problematic as compared to Banquet.....

Before choosing, do read up forums for reviews.
And when you go down to the roadshows to look around and choose, you will definitely able to find one that you really loves. That's how i got in love with MDW and signed it on the spot. Before that I went to one or two other BS to look around.

Hi

I'm new here. 2012 BTB!
Have yet to choose a venue for the dinner. :/

@peek: Have not booked any BS. in fact i have only started visiting 1 BS last weekend. Its quite tiring to endure some of their hard selling / pressure tactic

@meilingg: Did you go MDW boutique to look at their gowns first before the road show? Are you taking oversea PS?

@ctst: Its better to source & book banquet as early as possible to secure the date in the hotel/restuarant you want. i think 2012 will be a popular year to get marry.

Had some PS album queries.
So confused over all the different terms being used.

Saw some people mentioned that they have signed up package with (some) digital photos, in digital print.
Qns: What are digital print?? And Since PS photos are taken using DSLR, arent all photos already in digital format??

Saw someone mentioned that their BS give them a few "metallic" photos
Qns: What are metallic photos??

And saw some also mentioned that some BS charge extra $$ for magazine style layout / digital album
Qns: Arent all current PS album done in magazine style? what other style are there??
Actually it did not occur to me to enquire about charges for layout design for the photo album. Dint know that its chargeable item by some BS ~!
