Sorry for the Missing-In-Action! I'm doing so much injustice to my base of avid readers to the extent of receiving their grievances on Facebook! You know who you are, Golf Ball.. Hehe!
In fact we have been in quite a fair bit of action that we were so busy to even update the blog (Ok, I admit laziness played a small part too!).
8 Jan (Fri) - Second meet-up with Joanne, the wedding planner from OneRochester. We scheduled an appointment with her at 6.45pm and the discussion ended at 9pm. We did exchange a few emails before the meet-up and was informed that Joanne will be taking up a new post in 2010.
It got me a little worried cos she was partly the reason we chose OneRochester as we felt assured with her professionalism and experiences in handling ROM/weddings. It was really glad that Henry thought I should brought up this concern with her before the meet-up if not, she would have arranged for us to meet up with the new guy taking over her duties.
I'm just so happy that I did! Joanne felt flattered and overwhelmed to the extent of agreeing to see us through our ROM! YEAH!
And so, we discussed in further details and I asked her about those queries that I jotted down:
- Deposit
- Usage of bridal room
- Ang pow box
- Guest book
- Invite cards
- Wedding favours
- Complimentary parking for guests
- Ring pillow, feather pen
- Hand bouquet
- Display of photos
- Signage and directional signs
- Reception table
- Charges for children
She talked us through the package again and answered our questions patiently. We did also voice out my concern of the high charges as we did not agree the food items given to us was good enough to warrant $80plus per pax! Hence, she would send a breakdown of the costs in terms of the food and decoration for us to get a clearer picture.
Hence, Joanne will coming back to us on the pendings:
1. Revised menu with more "atas" food items
2. Arrangement for food tasting
3. Change of timing from 1pm-4pm to 2pm-5pm. We feel it would be more convenient for people who might who to take half-day leave.
4. Samples of wedding favours. It was advisable that we source on our own as it would not incur service costs.
5. Images of bird cages as ring pillows
6. Concept of displaying photos around The Living Room
7. Choices of songs for both background music and march-in music
8. Breakdown of costs
I have also asked her about adding in a surprise yet romantic element during the champagne toasting session. Shall keep it mum first! Heehee..
More updates to come. Stay tuned!
