  1. I too changed my gown for photoshoot, in fact I went for second fitting without extra charges. Lasposa is actually good in the sense that they are professional and keep to their word most of the time.

    I guess the problem is really only Sxxxxx. And Mxx is ok but a bit fake too. I like Daphne and Jane. They are nice! So BTBs who are interested in Lasposa should look out for these two SAs :smile:

    vampire82, what was your package like?


  2. Just to share my most recent experience with Lasposa, which was when we were making our final payment upon collecting our albums etc. Our SA (Sxxxxx) totally ignored us (never even said hi), and the other SA who serves us occasionally (Mxx) also ignored us :angry: They never even acknowledged our presence. It was as if, since we were already making our last payment, they do not need to treat us that well already. That day was a busy day, but my FH and I both think that they were being very unfriendly by ignoring us. They didn't apologize that they are too busy to attend to us. Another SA brought us our albums etc, and another SA sat down with us to settle the payment. This experience is by far the worst I've had with Lasposa. :sauer2:

    So actually, Lasposa's service is not bad (I think better than other BS we've been to, which is the main reason we chose them), I didn't have much complaints, their photo quality is ok, gowns (esp WGs) are nice, photographer is also ok (mine was Wilson), make up artist (Candy) is good. Only this last experience made me angry with Sxxxxx. I have to say that the lady boss and Candy are very friendly. Sxxxxx and Mxx are not genuine as I see it. They will attend to your requests (especially in the beginning stages) with no unhappiness, but as time passes, Sxxxxx will slowly show her "true colours". Other SAs are more genuine as I see it. But they are not as experienced as Sxxxxx, and as it seems, Sxxxxx is of a higher position than them.

    In conclusion, I would still recommend this BS as they keep to their promises and don't try to cheat us in small ways. Just be weary of having Sxxxxx as your SA.


  3. Hi sassy_chiq, I've PM-ed you :smile:

    Hello meandhimus, vampire82, cherrystar,

    Anyone have any recent photos to share? Sorry I have to leave a message here coz I cant use the PM function and cant find ur email addresses. The photos I found are kind of back in 2008. How is their services recently? Are they good in indoor and close up shots too?

    My email is sassylass@ymail.com.

    Thank you so so much !!


  4. Hi wdf,

    Wow, the package you got is pretty worth it! Mine was RM3688 but only 1 day of PS :angry: This shows that you're good at bargaining! :biggrin:

    Actually, "A" is not the boss... they have a lady boss who is super nice. I really like her! She rarely serves customer though.. "A" is very friendly and will always fulfill your requests but if he cannot earn your money... he will change lor. To be fair, I guess for most bridal shops also like that lah :unsure:

    For your suggestion on Keep Gallery, actually I almost signed up with them but after more research and careful thought, my FH & I realized that they like to focus on the background rather than the couple in outdoor shots, which might impress people at the beginning (because overall pictures look nice), but after a while you might get frustrated that your faces are not in focus (kinda lost the purpose of pre-wed shoot?), or you can't see your faces clearly. A few is ok but most of their outdoor tend to be like that. Perhaps some people like that kinda photos.. Another thing is their album photo quality doesn't seem to be that nice.

    As for KG's service, they are not really that reliable IMHO. We were kinda tricked at first (sorry can't remember what), maybe because the SA who served us was not experienced. And they were really pushy, much worse than Lasposa I would say. And also my friend signed up with them and had a horrible experience. She was forced to choose the gowns that the SA recommended, as if to make her make decision fast. Then the soft copies that they gave her was very low quality, can't even print 4R clearly. When her sister helped her to call KG to ask for better quality pics, the SA scolded her sister, and say why she's so mah fan, other customers also never complain but she complain. After hearing this, we decided not to take the risk to sign up with KG and went to choose between Lasposa and Casamia, as we heard good reviews on their service. FH & I decided that at the end, service is the one that is most important because bad service will stress us out and we wouldn't want that!

    Anyway... sorry to lari tajuk. I think I posted about the above in KG's thread actually.. :oops:

    hi, I hv a Lasposa package to let go. Belows r the details:

    Rm 3588

    PS: 4 WG + EG , 1 costume (if don't want this, can exchange with other gowns),

    : any coat

    AD: 1 WG + 2 EG + 2 coats

    *2 days ps ( 2 Klang Valley area outdoor, Putrajaya included + indoor )

    ( exclude the ampoules, hair colour and eyelashes )

    *Album wt acylic frame:

    *20 X 15- 30 poses (wt design )

    8 X 12- 20 poses ( full page )

    *12 X 36 IT frame ( design )

    *4R - 30 pieces (6 poses)

    CDR -50pcs ( touch up)

    DVD - 1 (1 song + 1 music)

    Album bag - 1 pcs

    AD hd bouquet Rm 138 + car deco + 2 corsages

    extra soft copy to buy after shooting:

    1 pc - Rm 20

    150 pcs - Rm 600 (Rm 4 p/pc)

    I had paid RM 1200 as deposit.

    The above details wt "*" mark means the items i had changed to suit to the package i want (i cut off the quantity caused i no need big size frame n too much ji mui photos) , if u don't like, may negotiate wt them. Extra 1 day OD shooting will b refund Rm 200 if would like to cancel.

    The above stated details are black n white written on invoice.

    Lasposa have many look nice ( indeed, it's depends on everyone taste) n really in good condition gowns for indoor n AD compare to others bridal shop. They have different type of gowns, but mostly their gowns are simple and elegant.

    The advantage of signing package wt them is u no need to be charged for another shooting day if raining day falls on OD PS day. As my experienced most of Klang Valley bridal shop will imposed the replacement shooting day cost onto the customer. Besides that, another benefit is on the PS day, they will let u try the gowns that had amended at first before shooting, n for gowns not fit will be amend on the spot.

    Few of the things i'm not happy wt them is they will push u to sign package as most of other bridal shop do.

    N, once u decided the gowns u can't change it anymore, otherwise RM 80 will be charged to change gowns (but, they will not tell u all these bfore u sign).

    I'm quite unhappy wt their boss called "A" . He is very nice, friendly n helpful as first, but all the things changed when we decided to cancel the photo shooting.

    We try to solve the problem wt him by using the deposit to exchange to our AD makeup cost since we know that deposit is impossible to get back, but he refused n many unreasonable n funny excuses like he can't make the cancellation or amendment as the payment had been saved into the computer.

    (Hah ...? so, why refund can b made at shopping center if we found goods are expired or broken...?)

    Yet, he try to "remind" us that if we try to bring the case to court it is also useless due to the T&C stated on invoice.

    I was so disappointed to Lasposa as i have a really no bad impression wt them after had read the opinions n responses gave by ex-customers of Lasposa on this the forum, thought they will be the seldom honesty bridal shop can found in town, but.....

    So, i have a package to let go if you have friends who r interested wt Lasposa.

    Ps: Boss "A" said, he will accept the package exchange to photoshooting or videography for AD so. If anybody interested to hire them as AD photographer, videographer or interested wt their package but can't get the good deal than mine, may contact me through :-

    my e-mail: cytchen@gmail.com

    I will try my best to meet wt the future bridal who r interested n also willing to help to negotiate wt bridal shop regarding the transfer along wt original invoice. I will only accept the tranfer if the bridal shop agree.

    Thanks.

    Hi, sassy_chiq :smile: , word wt "horrible" seem too over to put on them, even though we have conflict at last, but for the customer who successfully deal the business wt them, they will provide good services.

    A lot of bridal shop like that so, some more worst (i never experienced but read a lot from this forum) once the deal failed, they will extremely change their attitude :mellow: . This is the reality in bridal shop field, i think, coz according to the bridal shop i visited, they will try their best to trap u in, they persuade u, push u to sign package wt the excused the promotion / special dealing for u will be ended today or within a week. This is their tactic...

    Do u successfully find the bridal shop? If not yet, i hv a recommend, u may visit Keep Gallery. As i know (i have been visited) their service no bad too, although it is bit expensive and the gowns not much choices (caused too many customers picked away already), but still can considered as trusted bridal shop. They will show u all the individual item like the price charge for a DVD, CDR, hd bouquet... wt black n white written in their book. N, one thing have to praise is for the certain actual day stuffs such as hand bouquet which is included in package, u can exclude it if u no need it, n the refund/deduction of the actual price will b made to u. Unlike others bridal shop they will not border whether u like it or not, for them, the items had write on the invoice never wish any slightly refund or deduction will be made for us if u don't want. They rather "swallow" our money.

    Wish u met ur reliable bridal shop n have a good deal wt them :cheers:


  5. Hi skye,

    Thanks for your feedback! Do you mind if I ask when was your ROM party and AD lunch?

    I think we won't need any tents so we'd let them know if we do engage, thanks for the tip! :happy:

    one of my vendor was via tuk tuk for my post ROM party and hubs site lunch during the AD.

    good service but maybe you want to tell them that you dont want the tent service by nantha ? that fella not very responsible (the tent service is outsource to other 3rd party)

    food wise if you guys like thai/spicy they are a good choice albiet abit pricey compare to some others.


  6. Dear babes,

    I'm urgently looking for a caterer to cater for about 100-150pax for my wedding reception, simple buffet. :smile:

    Anyone tried Tuk-Tuk catering recently? I tried to search the forum but most feedback were dated 2010 and before. Anybody had recent experiences with them? Any feedback on their food quality and service?

    Alternatively, anybody has any good caterers to recommend please?

    Thank you very much! :biggrin:


  7. cherrystar, when is your wedding?at 1st, i was thinking of choosing next month buy they advice me to do so earlier so that those i like will not b taken. my wedding is on dec, so i went to choose yesterday.

    to be frank, i've some trouble choosing my 3rd dinner gown...1. i'm too fat to have mermaid tail and satin fabric 2. i don't want to have 3 almost same color.

    but finally i also get 2/3 very satisfied dress, the 1/3 looks slim but not so like it very much. 2 of them have almost same neckline. =(

    hopefully everything going fine will do. =)

    vampire82,

    My wedding is in end Nov. During my photoshoot in April, I asked them whether I can choose my AD gowns 3 months before, they said it would be too early, I should wait in case got new arrivals. But I chose 3 months before and I still couldn't get the gown I like! Sigh... I guess many brides are pretty kiasu actually :rclxub:

    I too couldn't get a nice evening gown. I chose 2 wedding gowns which are both tube style. I think their EGs are not as nice & good quality as their WGs. I liked my photoshoot EG but it's way too sexy to be worn during my dinner, so I had no choice but to choose another one which I think the cutting is not very nice (i'm super particular about cutting). But what to do.. no money to MTM my own gowns :sad:

    Sometimes I do wish I signed up with De Casamia.. Their gowns look nice. Maybe the grass is always greener on the other side? LOL..


  8. i'm pretty satisfied with Lasposa service so far, i'm now waiting for the photo album.

    Gown not as beautiful as Vogue but service a lot better.

    I personally think that their make up artist is good, mine is Candy. She is very experience and nice, she will ask what type of gown i like for outdoor shooting, and let me change if i don't like the gown. I like her as she did everything fast.

    My photographer is Kwong, i think both Kwong and Wilson are creative. Kwong is very easy going and soft. Wilson shooting angle is unique.

    Design wise, some i like very much, some i don't but i didn't sound out too much because i think if i want everything 100% as i wish mah as well i do it myself (which i don't willing to right now).

    but one thing i feel weird is, i can't get to call them recently, nobody pick up the phone. Is there anything wrong with their phone line?

    I agree with you, La Sposa's service is pretty good. Their gowns selection might not be as vast as some big BS but I believe they have better quality gowns.

    My MUA was Candy too and she is really good! She does things so quickly and she's so nice :happy:

    I didn't like parts of my album design too, so we requested for changes to be made and so far they are still patient and accommodating. They are a tad too slow in making the changes though. Hopefully my album can be ready on time!

    Only thing that I'm not happy is that I didn't get to book an AD gown that I like -- I should have gone to book my gowns earlier! :dash2:


  9. Hi,

    My package is the standard 3688 one, but I only remember it includes 50+5 MV poses and 5 images (3 for indoor, 1 traditional costume & 1 outdoor), 2 albums.

    I haven't gotten my photos yet. In fact, I did my photoshoot last month but only halfway.. it rained when we went outdoors so the shoot was postponed till July :dash2: There wasn't any appointment slot left till then -- yes they are having such good business!

    The gowns are quite nice and of better quality than most of the other BS I've been into.. In fact it's one of the main reasons we chose LS. Variety is not bad too. Only thing is, the make up artist will choose the outdoor gown for you (I only know when I called to set the day of our photoshoot!), which I personally don't like. But you are the customer, so if you don't like the gown chosen I'm sure you can voice your disagreement.

    Their service is not bad so far. The postponed outdoor shoot will not be charged as promised -- make sure you make them promise that and put on the receipt too. Only thing I really regret is choosing the wrong photographer.. I chose Kwong at first, but changed my mind to Wilson. I think Kwong would be a better choice.. he seems more hardworking and creative than Wilson :sad: Sighh... what to do. :sad:

    Anyway hope my reply is not too late for you.. if it is, I hope the above info can help other BTB out there :smile:

    -cherrystar

    hi cherrystar,

    May I know what is "5 images (3 for indoor, 1 traditional costume & 1 outdoor)" you mean?

    Asking on behalf of my friend.. she just signed up with Lasposa too.. thanks..

    Hi @lice,

    So sorry for the late reply. 5 images means 5 types of costumes & hairstyle. So we will have 3 styles for indoor shots, 1 traditional costume style, and another style for outdoor shoot. :wink:


  10. Hi

    Can anyone share the wedding package and photo taken with Lasposa?

    How is the condition of the gown? Is there variety of gown to choose from?

    How is their service?

    thanks! :smile:

    please reply to:

  11. Hmm..

    Because the Feng shui / the person who help to count say 12th is also good wor..But of course 20/11 is a poblic good day, means suitable for almost every couple.

    Plus i finally also like 12th Nov cos...manage to find some link :

    We dated on 4th May

    We ROM on 8th June

    So ( 4 plus 8 ) : 12

    And May ( 5 ) plus June ( 6 ) : 11

    So actual day 12th Nov lor..Haha like that also can hor....some how it cross my mind like this .

    No the place is not exactly old looking.

    We went there and immediately said yes and paid our deposit rm 1000.

    Besides the ballroom like interior, the manager also very friendly unlike other venue that we went.

    And the manager also mention that likley will do some renovation next year...and the interior will only get better, if not the same.

    ALso because of its reputation...for being so long in the line of chinese restaurant business.

    You found your venue ?

    Now i am looking around for MUA.

    Ohh.. hahahaha ya wor, like that also can! :tongue:

    I went to Marco Polo the other day to check out the place, since you also booked there, and I've only heard of good reviews so far. But we went there at night and found the Wisma to be pretty rundown-looking.. the restaurant interior is a little old but I like the colours and deco, very oriental yet not too "china-looking". Overall I am quite ok with the place, although I didn't get to speak to the manager.

    However, my parents and future parents-in-law are not quite in favour of that place, because they say it might be a little hard for our outstation relatives to find the place. Future FIL also commented that the parking is quite limited. They are all in favour of a new restaurant in Kepong (near my place) called Sin Choi Wah. Sigh, guess we'd have to follow their wishes.. Am still waiting for my ceremony venue to confirm their availability before I can make any decision on my reception restaurant. Stressed! :dash2:

    Anyway, congrats that you have one headache out of the way! MUA should be relatively easy to find, but I think you gotta be fast! Good ones are always booked well in advance. All brides very kiasu nowadays :p If you need a list of MUA, I can PM you the list I have :cool:


  12. I went to a wedding dinner there few months ago, all I can say is I really don't like the place. No doubt food was not bad (people say good, for me so so only so I shall say not bad), especially the suckling pig.

    But the place was so crammed up that night, plus all the pillars, it was so messy. I couldn't see the stage at all.

    And the dinner started so late (>8:30pm) because the food wasn't ready. What's worse, the bride and groom wanted all their family members to march in together so all of them lined up outside the entrance near the fountain, waiting for the cue and song to march in. And they waited there for a good 30 minutes!! I heard it was because the food was not ready, but the restaurant told them to get ready to march in, end up they waited outside for so long. I sat near the entrance so I saw all their unhappy faces. The groom's father even stormed away angrily!

    Also, the aircond malfunctioned that night. It was stuffy, and the aircond even kept leaking just right next to me. One more thing was, the area outside of the toilet (and I think near the kitchen?) was sooo slippery! It was so dangerous.

    The MC that night was not that good too. Spoke too loud. And during toasting time, he didn't even let the groom do any of the 3 toasts. So funny.. is it normal? I don't know. I thought the couple normally do the toasting themselves.

    Anyway, overall I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.


  13. I'm interested in this restaurant too, is the food and service really above average? I do mind about interior but maybe not as much as the food lah..

    How is the parking there, will there be any issues with parking?

    Would appreciate anyone's sharing, thank you! :wub:


  14. Hi, my parents went to a dinner there recently and they liked the place, because the food was served fast and taste not bad. The venue only takes 45 tables and above I think. As for package, I saw the leaflet but can't find it now already. It's about normal Chinese restaurant price lor, 700-900+.


  15. Ahh.. yup they have nice food :) Careful not to fall into their business tactics trap though, especially if you have lesser tables! Check out more info from this forum lor. You should book soon for your hot date already ;)

    Oh ya just realized i didn't answer your question previously. I don't know when I will be trying baju, maybe sometime after CNY? Photoshoot should be in March or April I guess. How about you? :)

    No, no actual day venue yet but i am aiming for noble house in Jalan Imbi. Nice food there.

  16. Hi Meandhimus,

    Thanks for sharing your package :) I'm sorry I don't have the receipt lah.. it's with fiance. But I think I got the same stuffs as you, except you have two big albums! According to this package price, the big album is 15" mah. Gosh, now I feel like asking for two 15" albums too.. but like you said, sign up already, don't think they will bother to nego with me anymore :(

    I didn't get the crystal frame, but I got another one.. some 3 in 1 photo frame.

    Haha I wanted to nego for more poses too, then fiance said better not push too much, later they work for you also not happy, give you bad service then will affect our mood lor.

    Oh ya did they limit you on the price of flower bouquet? I think my limit was RM238 or something. Meaning any extra I'd have to pay!

    My ROM date will be 11.11.11 :) AD date not sure yet.. thought of 12th or 19th or 20th also (same thought as you!). It all depends on the ceremony venue that I have yet to book. My AD date is flexible lah.. as we are both Christians, we don't bother about Chinese dates :)

    Have you booked your AD venues? :)

    Of course exclude the ampoules, hair colour and eyelashes lor.

    Remember to share with me yours also.

    When is your wedding date ? When do you plan to try their baju ?

    I am planning to ask if 20/11/2011 is good or not, :wub: the in laws are checking it out. Hopefully can lar, cos coincide with sunday.

    Sometimes when think about it, i thought i should nego more on the poses......before signing up, sure they let .....plus 1 or 2 also good. but now after signing up, cannot lar. :wacko3:


  17. Hi cherrystar,

    Yeaps, I got to admit that they gown is so so so much limited in comparision to Lasposa. Wasn't really impressed with the gowns. But then as my wedding is on Oct 2, 2011, they told me they would have new gowns every 3 mths, so it's more of like gambling in the end of the day. Now other half of my brain tells me to go for professional photograher for pre-wedding photos rather than sticking to BS. But I dun wan to splurge to much on the pre-wedding photos cause afraid in the end, it would end up in the closet.

    Hi Stef,

    Ahh.. so it's true after all :) Well every BS says they will bring in new gowns every 3-6 months (not sure how true!). But if I'm not mistaken, Sophia has always been reputed as having lesser choice of gowns. For a peace of mind, maybe you'd just wanna go for LS. Whoopss! Biased comment :p

    Oh yes I wanted so much to hire a professional photographer as well. But budget was my main constrain. If you do not have that constrain, go ahead and splurge! You get to keep your WG and all the high res soft copies. No restriction on number of poses you can choose. But if you have limited budget, perhaps you'd like to splurge on your actual day photography. More memorable and meaningful. Also, with BS, you get to choose pretty gowns and have everything (i.e. bouquets, car deco, etc) taken care of. That was another main reason I decided to forgo my dream of getting a freelance photographer. I understand what you feel, totally went through that myself. Had to literally "kill" that desire within me, if not I would be starting my marriage life with an empty bank account! :p
