The place is decided.
We have finally confirmed our place in The Raffles Town Club for our special day.
I lurve the high ceilings at the entrance. In fact, that was the reason why I have chosen this place.
Jack was slightly more rational than me. He decided on the place because he saw this.
But sadly, they dont allow us to hold our solemnisation at the poolside. So we settled for the lounge function room on the mezzanine floor, which is equally awesome and much more comfortable.
Seriously, everything would have been perfect if not for the sales person, who really did a bad job in trying to 'humour' us, we see through it right away but still go ahead because of 2 reasons.....
The ceiling & the pool.
She never call as promised; she fixed the appointments in such a way that we can only have 45mins with her; her way of saying no is "NO" - i hate it. you should at least say you have tried/will check; overall we can't really negotiate for the things that most people would have gotten it elsewhere (ie Free parking for my guests.waiver of cockage charges,wedding favours); her favourite line is "for that, we need to charge extra..."
Ok, let's give her some credits for saying YES to me for certain things.
- WE managed to get her to give us a free parking lot for our bridal car at the side entrance. Bear in mind it was a straight NO at first, she took a week to get back to me on this. Hooray.
- WE managed to get her to give us cockage waiver for 10 bottles of wine for my 50 guests. Her reason for saying NO - NO ones drink during hi-tea.
Jack was the cooler between the 2 of us, I was already losing my patience with her, if not for the ceiling & the pool....
Super inflexible & calculative!
Nevertheless, I am still looking forward to the wedding and I know it is going to be a beautiful one :)
