Yup, I had just received their wedding packages. Had also signed up for their wedding show in April. There is quite a huge difference in prices for weekdays and also weekends rates. When I spoke to richi, he doesn't seem very flexible. I wanted him to book a tentative date for my wedding date, but he don't accept tentative booking and have to wait till the wedding show. If we don't sign up during the wedding show, there won't be so much perks. |

Hi Jovanka, I'm new to this thread. I'm thinking of doing lunch too but more so of a chinese menu at the ballroom. What's a lunch reception at raffles lawn like? |

hi all,
i am new here and am considering four seasons and raffles hotel. i took a look at the ballroom pictures at raffles hotel, seem that the ceiling is a little low. Is that so in reality? has anyone attended a wedding there and felt that the ceiling is low? thanks! |

Hi Richard, I've visited the big ballroom and I find the ceiling good as I have the aussies to consider, some of them are big and tall. |

Hi Guys,
I'm having mine at RH on the 3rd of October 2010 East India Rooms. Anyone having Western or Fusion for their banquets? |

Thank you Stressed Sheep for your comment. Really appreciate it. You could be right. If it's good for your tall aussies it should be alright for my smaller asian guests  . Perhaps I will go down to RH to take a look too. Are you having your dinner in RH then? |

Hi Richard, you're welcome .. in fact the ceiling is really tall compare to places such as the swissotel. I'm looking at lunch banquet as its cheaper. We will prob do a party afterwards somewhere else for the aussies who love to dance and drink like mad...
To others, what are the dates you're looking at for your lunch or dinner banquets? Guess the bridal show is worth going to huh? |

Hey Jovanka, we're doing the banquet at the ballroom but the ceremony at the lawn. But if it rains they said it has to be at the ballroom and payment for the lawn will not be refunded. Which is terrible.. so I may look at surrounding churches see if its possible to rent for d ceremony. sigh
we're looking at confirming only after the wedding show too! |

Oh yeah..cya @ the show this sunday =D
Actually I'm thinking of having lunch banquet @ the Lawn, but just worried it will too hot in the day. So like you may consider banquet @ ballroom and solemisation @ the lawn. |

Hi Jovanka.. er is there really lunch banquet at the lawn?? Never heard of it. Interesting..
Richard, its funny a day ago.. my fiance, an aussie said he felt the ceiling is low.. which is totally weird to me.. cos i think its considered high liao. maybe its different view for guys... but the chandeliers are great.. |

Some thoughts on the show:
Food was average. The fish was really bland. I think I even got a bit of the fish stomach, which made me want to spit it out
I was disappointed by the decoration they chose for the lawn; no doubt it was beautiful, with tentage and flower stands and everything, but it requires an additional top-up of >5k. Maybe this is normal of all wedding shows, but shouldn't you display your standard decor instead? Or display decor that doesn't require that much top-up? I went to the wedding show to see how my wedding would look like if I had it on the Lawn, and not how it could look if I had >5k to spare for solemnization.
Ok sorry for the rant...
For the ballroom, I think the ceiling appears low as it's not arched. I think it's lower than Intercon's and Fullertons (based on my impression). Chandeliers are nice though |

Hi cherrylight, thanks for the sharing! My sis and father went on our behalf as we live in Sydney. I wouldn't have known the decor for the lawn requires a 5k plus top up.. that's crazy..
But in the end due to some sort of desperation we signed up anyway for the lawn area and lunch this june.. I'm expecting the decor to be basic ... Good thing that came out of this show is the 5% rebate and extra barrel of beer cos our australian guests may just drink too much :P Gave up on Beaufort Sentosa cos it was ridiculously expensive and they refused to give perks!
As for the ceiling, Fullerton's definitely much much higher
Btw, did you like the bridal suite? |

I'm sure the normal lawn decoration will be beautiful, I've seen it in some pictures. Was just hoping to see it in person. Did your father/sis take any pictures to show you?
I'm not fussy about the bridal suite, but I suppose it's a tad small compared to other suites. The TV set is super old too - not even flat screen, so don't be shocked! Not that anyone would be watching TV on their wedding night though haha.. The whole feel of the suite is very cozy |

Hi Stressed sheep, when will your banquet be in June? Congras that you finally settled your banquet venue. @ the Lawn rught? we initially wanted to have our lunch held at the lawn too, however on top of the lunch package, we have to pay additional 6-8k for the marque. This is not part of the standard package set up. Really expensive, but couldnt possibly let our guest roast under the sun haha...
We also booked our dates for next yr jun. Solemisation @ the lawn follow by lunch in the ballroom =) |

Hi Jovanka, congratulations to you too! my banquet be June this year :P.. crazy huh that we signed the package two months before. Our solemnization is at the lawn followed by lunch at the ballroom too. In fact I didn't know you can actually do lunch under a marquee at the lawn! I totally agree with u the guests be roasted..!
Do you find your program in the morning till lunch a seriously hectic one? For me its even more complicated cos my htb is australian and he doesn't wanna see the white dress until rom.. so i have to leave d house in cheongsam.. change to white dress for rom.. change back to cheongsam again to tea ceremony.. then back to white dress again for lunch. I'm trying to strike off the last change so i just wear the cheongsam throughout.. super hectic.. cos my dad won't agree to doing d tea ceremony after lunch.. sigh. and d relatives don't wanna come early in d morning for tea ceremony before rom..
Hey cherrylight.. lol i'm so amused by the old tv set.. and told my htb wat u said.. its hilarious for a 7 star hotel.. good lord why didn't they upgrade when they're charging a whopping 700++ for a night's stay! But ya I guess from d photos I can see the suite has a nice old nostalgic feel to it |

Woa Stressed sheep...yr schedule is indeed a heatic one,will be busy changing in and out. Most importantly bear in mind the bridal suite is quite a distance from the ballroom /the lawn, so you may wanna minimise changing frequency,otherwise the guest may have to go through long interval waiting to see the beautiful bride =P Looking forward to see yr photos...
and the tv set...My HTB & I also laugh at the sight of it..but then again a flat screen LCD tv will be sitting out of place with the nostalgic deco of the room. haha
Hi Cherrylight, did you sign up with raffles too? |

Just attended a wedding dinner at Raffles, the lifts were out of order, and everyone had to take the stairs to get down from the third storey to first, and worse, to get from the first storey to the basement carpark, the lights were out of order, and there were no railings on the staircase, so we had to grope around in the dark to find our way to the carpark |

hi ppl,
Am interested to hold our wedding solemnization at raffles hotet's The Lawn.
Do you think 10:30am to 12 noon will be too hot for the guests? Don't think we will be getting a marque.
any feedback on this venue in terms of the basic solemnization package offered by Raffles Hotel? will it look bad (ie non-dream wedding like) and that we will need to spend $5k (on top of the basic $3-5k) to achieve the effect? |
