joyful 01 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2010 Jo,you are welcome =)yes it is .. really worth for your sacrifice =)ahh .. yes! I hate that and many will not inform you even they didn't turn up, bad isn't it!? and in my wedding, we kena a lot oh .. cakap I will datang I'm sure datang but where!? not even a sms or whatever .. gess!! that's it liau la .. even I met him at outside I also bo 'hiu' liau.Jo & beautiful gown, this is such an interesting topic that you two have wandered off to :).My wedding is in Sep. It is a destination wedding. We only expected 40 guests but received 50 rsvp. and since my other half's guests are caucasians we are expecting a beer/wine cost of RM600/drinker. 8-10bottles each. Yeah, crazy drinkers, and it's expected...sigh... My problem is, 80% of them still hasnt booked their accommodation (which they are supposed to be paying for). So I dont know if I should order for them or not. Coz otherwise, i'll be having 100bottles of wine laying around if they dont show up. Yet, i've got to order the wine soon due to the large quantity.Any suggestion?OH, I cant chase them too coz they are all my hubby's side and he did some mild chasing already, any more and it'll be seem as a harrassment.

joyful 01 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 joyful 01,mmm .. do you need to make pay any payment upon the booking for beer/wine?have you discuss this matter with your HB?Yes, full payment and no refund on any unconsumed wine/beer. The resort is an expert extortionist. They are taking every advantage to maximise their profit. FH is frustrated as well coz he cant pushed them any harder to make their accommodation booking otherwise it'll look as if we are being pushy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jo liew 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 joyful01, do you mind to tell which resort is this? normally when i am dealing with the hotels on any company event, we will try to settle bill aftr event; but if the hotel really dun allow, then only we will make the balance payment two weeks before event date. in your case, i think it's too much already for the hotel to do so. so i guess now u hv no choice but just stick to whatever you've confirmed with the hotel since isn't refundable. now is only june, so really hard for the guest to RSVP so soon. also, they might change their plan at anytime as well. those who say yes sure coming might last min dun turn up, but those u least expected might come.

They are not even giving us group discount, just ordinary West Malaysian rate, we dont even get the ordinary East Malaysian rate :)). All reservations for accommodation must be paid upon booking. I pity guests who has last minute change, that's why my FH's half isnt making any booking till they are sure I supposed. But my situation re the wine is that the resort wanted to charge RM150/bottle (regular price). I managed to get the owner to give me an alternative and the best he could give was RM40 per bottle of corcage and RM10 per small can of beer. Imagine 200 bottles of wine at RM150, it's crazy right? The owner says he could give me RM80 per bottle but he'll use the super cheap RM15/bottle wine and i'll have to pay for all 200 bottles and completely no refund.Hence, I've decided to buy my own wine (which also has no refund on unused portion) get a decent one at RM30-RM40 and then transport it over to Sabah, and pay the corkage. I hv some friends in the wine industry who says that most events in KL only charges corkage of RM20/bottle at most even 5 star hotels but the owner insist on charging RM40 and no less.Anyway, my half has already made all their accommodation payment, so cant change venue now. I am just having a big headache trying to decide how many bottles to buy for the event coz the supplier needs 1 - 2 mths to order due to the quantity. It is a difference of 100 bottles... I could do a lot with RM4k Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
