Almost there Tom !
But I would write: neuf cent vingt-huit, I don’t think the French drop the hundred (cent) as mentioned by Bertrand.
In Canada may be, but we all know that what they speak in Québec is not French
One thing for sure:it’s “un autre verre de Champagne » not « une ….. »
Keep on going !
But… … …
I’m pretty sure that your French is better than my Chinese

The two versions are right in France, "Neuf cent ving-huit" or "Neuf vingt-huit".
Second lesson:
Une bière, s'il vous plaît.

This event is in less than a month now, so if you have the intention to come, please register very soon!
In particular, we will adjust the number of available rooms in the hotels soon.
