Diane, LOL, then must eat lots before you start drinking to "dian4 di3"! Maybe I'm old liao (31yrs last year, hubby 35) so was tiring for us la... that day we both didn't sleep from 2am till midnight!

Hi Diane Sounds like fun what you've have planned! Just take note that you and your FH have plenty of energy as a whole day affair can be pretty exhausting. My hubby was a bit tipsy from the lunch banquet yam seng, come dinner time, we were both like real zombies and had very little energy left...

Hi Lovelee Sorry. Didn't uncheck the PM box. Please PM me again. Cheers.

Shir Yup, yup, as what colt and BigPooh mentioned, just ask your coordinator to help you book a small function room to hold your tea ceremony there. As my banquet was held in the Vanda Ballroom, I was given a function room on level 6 upon request before signing the agreement at no extra cost...

sunqian You're welcome. Your leader should preferably be someone who's attention to detail type of person, fussy/ bossy type even! Usually for big events like this, they are real assets. iciclediamond Wow! Meritus Suites! What do they do like?!! That's great everything turned out well...

Hope everyone's having a great year end celebration! sunqian Nope, we didn't have a wedding planner. My hubby and I shared all the wedding tasks between ourselves. We only involved our helpers for the AD. We had 7 jiemeis and 8 brothers. Apart from the gatecrashing, our brothers did very...

cho Hehee, ya, if only they made it a couple stuck together, then surely many BTBs will want this for their wedding. My hubby also said at the time not very good leh to "split" the couple so he wasn't too keen. Anyway, cute as they were, I tried to figure out whether there was a...

bay Congrats on having a successful day! Glad it was all worth it. cho Yea, I second that. When we had our wedding, there were just 2 or 3 favours offered by MM. The coasters and magnets only came after our wedding. I did ask if MM could give a and pair of bears for each guest, but...

cho Apologies about that. Anyway, just to add, the only weddings I've attended that have wedding favours handed out at the reception tables are either during Church weddings or if the couples sourced/ purchased the wedding favours from outside the hotel (usually have extras). Most of the...

Meiting Yup, have to check with her to see who's standing in for her. But she really took care of my event really well. cho Doesn't sound practical to hand out the favours after they are seated unless you have enough helpers to do it. Not practical especially if it's a big banquet. I'm...

iciclediamond Just your own checklist so you can run through with her, maybe email your coordinator your program schedule before you meet so she can run through and see if it needs to be fine tuned to suit their service needs? She should have a list of things she needs to run through with you...

cho Re: Wedding favours I had wedding bears for mine and as there were around 30 kids who attended my wedding, they basically went on a bear scavenger hunt during the banquet. 2 of my nephews collects 10 bears between them! I had 27 + 2 reserved tables but I don't know whether they added 20...

jelly bean MM provided me a song list and I could choose the songs I liked from there and let the coordinator know. But my hubby burned mp3 cds with all the songs from our own collection and did not use their list. You should let them know which you prefer or else they will probably select for...

cho Gosh, you had so much bad feedback on your wedding. How come I never heard anything from my wedding? Perhaps, mine was a 8 course lunch so not so rushed for time. How come your banquet started so late? Sometimes, banquet staff will be asked to rush because otherwise the hotel has to pay...

mthm Maybe the standards of MM have dropped since? I had the same experience as Meiling though. The other 8 foodtasters besides myself and hubby were quite pleased with the food. It was only a matter of what style of cooking we preferred. And we were only concerned with whether the food...

Diana Re: Lunch vs Dinner Banquet This really depends on what you and your hubby want for yourself. As jolinr mentioned, both have advantages and disadvantages. Factors as you've pointed out some already: * Weekday vs Weekend * Day vs Night * Rush vs Rest in between the day * Cheaper...

iciclediamond Re: Bridal Suite Check-In Suggest to assign a trusted helper to check-in for you in the morning and to check that the room is ready for your arrival. If possible, request for early check in, my helper checked in around 9.00am. The helper will need to bring your approved...

Its my life Our lunch banquet was similar to a dinner banquet. It's a sit-down 8 course meal, one dish less than dinner. We had 27 tables. I need to emphasize that your helpers (bros and sis) need to organise tables in advance for photoshooting so there's no delay for you. Make sure they...

iciclediamond, taichan Okay, 3 attire change: 1) 1st March In - Wedding gown 2) 2nd March In after our 3rd dish for champagne popping - Dress 3) After Photoshoot, go change into Kua to send guests off. Yes, there was a dance for the food march in. That was memorable for some of our...

iciclediamond No probs, as long as you think of something, add in to your checklist and tick it off as you go along. You should be fine! I forgot to mention, you will get 3 parking lots outside the lobby for your bridal car, and 2 others, your coordinator will need to know the no. plates of...
