I am also looking at their packages! and the perks they give is definitely better than alot of the hotels out there i can say. and the price is also reasonable.

things that are not so good are the smaller orchid ballroom which has low ceiling, and it actually look quite small.. but the crystal ballroom look really alot nicer..

Ladies. Gotta look for Krystal. She is super helpful and very good in following up everything for us. My actual date is 26 Jan 14. honestly I am quite ignorant bout the whole event. Its the parents want it. but its us that are super busy.
But Krystal helped me compile many things. Keep following up with me. Keep reminding me to do those things BTB need to do. Helped us to even upgrade to bigger ballroom coz its available.
Just wanna say you gotta look for Krystal, she is truly helpful, initiative and responsible.

I had held my wedding banquet at Holiday Inn Orchard City Central on 5th September 2014. My wife, Jacinth Chua and myself would like to convey these compliments to all staffs for their great services for the event. The team was commendable and their professionalism as a service provider is superb.

The success of the wedding banquet would not have happen without a great deal of effort by everyone, and we appreciate their hard work.

From checking in to hotel, getting our heavy baggages to our room, decorations of our bridal suites, the breakfast served after our wedding etc. Keep up the good work. We are proud of the entire team of Holiday Inn Orchard city Central.

The wedding banquet went smooth and leaves with great memories. The credit starts with the operational manager on that day Eddie. His fine work, excellent planning and detailed event sequences resulted in an great and smooth running of the event. Thanks to eddie and your crews.

His words of encouragements as well as the sequences and how my wife and I should hold each other in each march in has soothe our anxiety. Once again thank him and we really appreciate it.

We are very pleased with our wedding planner also-Vasanthi especially with the quality of her excellence service given to us. We sincerely appreciate her responsiveness and the way she plan our wedding banquet. From the start, her introductions to the hotel promotions to the finalizing of the event. Never fail to give us prompt replies even in the silent hours. She is always helping us find the best solutions to our problems.

Please accept our sincere thanks.

Once again Thank You all so much for leaving such a memorable experiences with Holiday Inn Orchard City Central. Well Done !!!
Yours Sincerely,
Jeff Chen

My purpose in writing is to express our gratitude to our Business Development Manager Ms Krystal Lye and the banquet manger on duty that day, Mr Shawn Ho ( if I remember correctly)

Thank you for their attentive service extended to us and also, special thanks to Mr Shawn , who has helped me in settling some Muslim serving which I had missed out on that night with so many things in mind and last min missed out, I was worried but Mr Shawn had expressed the situation and reassured us with solutions plus last min arrangement.

Within minutes, he was back and the missed out serving was prepared. My guests were very satisfied.

With thanks, hereby i wishes Holiday Inn Orchard City Centre and all the couple over here. Happy marriage!

We had a wonderful memories at holiday inn . It was a great dinner banquet with lots of compliments from the guests on the ballroom settings and especially on the food!! These will not be possible without the team of holiday inn orchard that made all of this possible.

Special shout out to Krystal for responding our chain of mails and our tons of queries. And not forgetting the banquet manager, Desmond for aliasing and made the dinner banquet a beautiful one. Hou Kwang for helping me privately on behalf of the hotel and appearing at the end of my banquet even I could barely stand up. Last but not least, to all the staffs that made it possible!!!

Cheers!!!

Hi Yong Sheng, i am currently liaising with HICC but the coordinator that responded to me is very very slow. Are you able to provide me with Krystal's email address? Is she your coordinator btw? I'm looking at this hotel but the service i receive so fast wasnt that complimenting.... :(

Coming from a non-HIOCC bride, i gotta admit that Krystal is a real nice person to work with. Very responsive very prompt very responsible in her work. She has gotta be the best coordinator i ever met up with :) she actually helped me out alot during my banquet selection and very good in following up etc.

thanks Yong sheng! Vasanthi is assisting me at the moment. It's kinda ironic because many comments here have people saying that Vasanthi is efficient. But anyway, she replied my email just this morning. I shall stick and see how she is, else may request for Krystal. ;)

I think both coordinators are equally ok, do give them a chance. Are you taking lunch or dinner?

We are writing this feedback to express our gratitude for all the help given on our wedding banquet dinner which was held on 19th Sep 2014. Our co-ordinator was Vasanthi and whenever we meet up to discuss the wedding details, she would always have a great smile on her face. She was also very experienced & helpful and would give us good advice

On top of that, she was always very accommodating to our requests even at the last minute; I remembered we had originally arranged for tea ceremony in the late afternoon, due to some changes, we cancelled the tea ceremony but when the time was nearer to our wedding date, we arranged for tea ceremony again after our wedding banquet dinner and she agreed immediately and told us it is not a problem at all! Other than that, we also had multiple changes to the number of banquet tables as well as the arrangement of the tables and she was always happy to help us. We are grateful to her for responding to our requests and for all the good service rendered!

We would also like to compliment on Desmond Lee whom was our banquet operation manager on our actual wedding day. During our initial meeting, I am very glad that he was assigned to help us as he gave short & simple instructions which were easy to understand & follow and it was exactly what I needed after all the 'chaos' during the day, haha. He also worked closely with our floor manager during the banquet dinner and he was very polite & professional. Also, during the dinner, some guests were complaining about the red wine that was served & it was changed to white wine at no costs to us.

After the banquet dinner was over and after we went back to our room, the supper was delivered shortly to us & we were hungry after a whole day's event. It was indeed a memorable night for us, all thanks to Holiday Inn!

But it falls on the 7th month... :(


Using SingaporeBrides app

which pretty much explains why they chose those periods :p

1 is too last minute (Dec 2014)
1 is during CNY period
1 is 7th month

unless there are those who are pretty okay with such dates :)

Yah.. The hotel very clever, but I believe that even though it's 7th month, some dates are still auspicious in that month. And also other ethics group may want to get married there! It's really good deal! And Crystal ballroom is really pretty too!

Hi girls, anyone knows what's the diff between this holiday inn in orchard and the one at atrium? Think the price wise also different... Also, how much deposit is required? Thanks!

I think u need to view both to see which one u prefer, as each has its own good n bad points. .

Atrium price is cheaper n their ballroom can accommodate more ppl.. Their food review has also been consistent. But their ballroom don't look that nice (imo) and the location is not near to mrt..

Orchard one I think in terms of look n feel for the ballroom, cocktail area n poolside for solemnization r better but their price also higher compare to the other. Max no of tables I think is only 35. And their near to mrt. I didn't see much review on the food thou.
