Melissa 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 Piggy, My British client had his wedding there some time ago. 22 tables. He liked it, not too expensive. Food was good and so was the environment. I was there before the dinner started so did not try their ballroom food. The decor was quite okie, not bad. Wouldn't say its fanastic but worth every cent. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melissa 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 Welcome piggy, Well, some hotels give those LCD stuff- rental free. Whereas some charges for the usage and its not cheap. If you can negotiate well, basically there's quite a lot of stuff that can be negotiated. However, it depends how much the person in charge is willing to give in. If there's 2 p.i.c, sometimes 1 will give more freebies and the 2nd one might not. If you are having a lot of tables.. you can try asking them to let you use it for free. Also, remember to ask for free corkage or at least 2 tables or more per table.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piggy 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 hi melissa, yeah. :) negotiating is tiring,but wat to do, tat will save me more $ :P yeah, im quite worry bout the corkage charges coz i know it will end up costing me alot if they dun waived the corkage fees. but anyway, they r offering free corkage for hard liquor & wine, which is good :) thanks again.

Melissa 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 Yup, thats quite good since corkage free for wine and hard liquor. Are they charging you corkage for beer if you bring in your own? Or you have to take beer from them? Cause for certain hotels/venues, you have to take beer from them.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piggy 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2006 they r charging RM300 for beer corkage (per barrel). they din stated tat u gotta buy beer frm them, but they do show u can buy frm them: per barrel (22.75L) = RM700nett per barrel (30L) = RM900nett quite cheap i guess?...im not sure how much does 1 barrel of beer will cost. what you think? and of coz, getting the 30L is much more worth it!

Melissa 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2006 Piggy, 30L RM 900? So expensive..but its this kinda price I guess.. My supplier charges about RM 550/barrel for 30L.. So if RM 550+RM 300 (corkage) = RM 850... Save Rm 50 per barrel.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cutiepiggie 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2006 melissa can u PM me the beer supplier's contact. thanks ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melissa 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2006 Jiun & Cutie, Pm'ed you already. Piggy, Actually, I don't know of any place who will give free corkage for beer. Normally they won't, hotels and restaurants. They will either tell you to take beer from them or charge you corkage for beer. Whereas for wine,hard liquor, they normally give corkage-free. You can pm me whenever you need the contact. But the price I mentioned is for the time being.. If budget day or whatsoever.. the price might increase following the market. But still cheaper than outside. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
