Hi Ladies!!!

Ooshie > No worries.. I will definitely update you gals on MM after I visit them tonite. Really a bit mix feelings about all these... Dunno how to bargain for perks...

ooshie · Mar 22, 2005

hey ginger, was just about to post a message to you wanted to tell you that there will be an MM show on the 2nd april so you will definitely get your perks from there! i will also be signing during a show coz heard we can always get better deals during those shows

greta · Mar 22, 2005

Hi Shelyn,
My wedding date change to 25/3/06 liao. Jus sign on with BS Sophia last sat. Wedding dinner venue haven't settle yet. Actually i prefer church, then wrap up and go honeymoon...so easy.

Hi Joycec,
Welcome to the club! Once you settle one item, the others things tend to be easier. Enjoy the process and keep us posted!

krisjon · Mar 22, 2005

Went down to Marina Mandarin just now. The coordinator, Wendy told us that she is giving us the ballroom on the 5th floor cos we only had 28 tables. When I see the ballroom... I almost faint... the ceiling is really low and when my FH stretch his hand, he can touch the ceiling without any effort.

I asked her if it is really possible to accomodate 28 tables, she said yes and I told her that it will be packed like sardine. Moreover tell me that the max capacity for this ballroom is 30 tables but I am not convince. I turn back and asked her if in any case before 3 months I have more than 30 tables than what will they do, guess what she told me... no choice, the grand ballroom min. requirement is 40 tables and if we had more than 30 tables, we will move down to the big one but paying for the price of 40 tables and if the ballroom is booked on that day too, might have to reschedule another date for dinner. I simply dun like this idea... My face sulk the whole evening and told my FH if that is the ballroom, I rather go to some ulu ulu hotels and somemore over there is so inaccessible... have to make one big round before reaching the hotel.

zenith · Mar 23, 2005

hi all, i intend to hold my ROM cum AD on 060606. But i jus check the online auspicious date thing. It seems that 060606 is not one of the auspicious date leh.

ooshie · Mar 23, 2005

hey zen
dun worry coz i have already consulted the geomancer. rom days dun need auspicious dates in general. only your ceremony and dinner.
have you selected your venue and all coz 060606 quite hot. i will also be doing my rom on 060606 but ad later in the month

ooshie · Mar 23, 2005

hi ginger,
if you dont like it now you prob wun like it next time renos and all so choose another venue lor. lucky we start preparations early can you imagine the stress dun make yourself unhappy okie
yeah i had the same problem when i dropped by GWC coz the lady say can take 60 tables or something but they had 40 there and i tawt it was so squeezy... maybe you can try GWC they got this waterfront ballroom thingy that is glassed throughout and can see the fountain or something

racherlle · Mar 23, 2005

preci0usm0ments · Mar 23, 2005

i'm with Silverline... how come you PS so soon???
i'm hoping to take PS soon too.. then can eat at ease already hahaha now controlling my diet

so sian.. everything also cannot eat.. more and more skinny.. my mum also scare

huichin, u or ur hubby got any cousins to refer to?? quite a headache is no sample leh... maybe you ask your parents their ideal one, and ask you IL, then try and merge?? can't have the best, but got to give and take abit??

krisjon · Mar 23, 2005

Hi Ladies

Now finally got the time... I received the reply I get from Marina Mandarin. Maybe a bit naggy today, but then I am really fuming when I got the reply via email from them at my office place.

I am asking for free flow of beer / a carton of red wine, waiver of corkage for wines, Additional one night stay in a normal room ( if cannot then give a discount rate ), light snack before wedding dinner or supper for the bride and groom, additional carpark coupons.

Moreover, yesterday afternoon my FH called the coordinator and she said that she had blocked the smaller ballroom for us and even claim that the big ballroom is taken, we find a little suspicious and this morning I called again and the other coordinator informed me that neither one of these rooms had been blocked at all. The coordinator told us that the carpark coupons they can increase up to 25% and waiver of corkage for wines is not a problem and even the usuage of the LCD projector also not a problem. They can give it to us as a perk.

Each table cost $908 nett and I dun think it is very unreasonable to ask for all the additional perks ( especially car park coupons and light snacks which is less than $100 ) In the end, non of our requests can be fulfilled. Guess what is the reply from their coordinator?? This is their reply :

Dear XXX

For a booking on 24th June 2006, we will be able to extend a complimentary food tasting for a table of ten if you book before 9th May 2005.

I express regret that it will be difficult to accomodate your other requests for perks at least for the moment, as we are having several enquiries about this date already.

Other simpler arrangements such as an easel stand for your photo album or a late check out, however, may be arranged.

Thanks for your understanding and feel free to contact me should you have any queries.

Warm regards,
Wendy Li
Events Executive
MARINA MANDARIN
Tel: 68451104
Fax: 68451019
Email: wendyli <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]

Of course, as a consumer, we made the effort to go down and talk to them despite the inaccessibility of the transport ( road work, construction every where ) and in the end, what she said yesterday is like bull shitting. IN my whole life, I had never been so angry like this before...

Even my colleagues agreed that with the price that I am paying for Marina Mandarin, I can easily source for another place and they think that it is really unfair to give us a reply like this. Hiaz... not my day today.

Ooshie > Actually to think about it last night, I really do not mind the low ceiling, probably some decorations can enhance the room. The problem now is what MM coordinator had promised us last night and tell us definetely okay no problem and this late afternoon give us an email like that... very disheartening.

scobido · Mar 23, 2005

Hi lilacblur

Cos I do not want to wait till it is near my wedding dinner then take. The development of the photos may take sometime too. If there are any changes, it can still be made mah

I am trying to lose weight now. 2 years back, I am 44kg. Now, I am 52kg! Arghhh

ooshie · Mar 23, 2005

hey ginger,
i think its all a load of crap! i believe if you throw the deposit in their face and say you want it now, they prob can give you more perks. Besides, its bullshit, shouldnt they give you the food tasting thing for free , deosnt everyone else??!!
yeah your colleagues are right... with your price you can go for something much better like hyatt ... you can even try pan pac no use staying at marina mandarin if they cause you so much unhappiness..... can you imagine this is just a start... the only other option you have is to change coordinator but you noe they are after colleagues themselves they might make things difficult
what can you expect later when you confirm with them .
p.s if you need pan pac pics (ocean ballroom) let me know coz i got some from another bride who held her wedding there. dropped by a few times already,the staff there overall not bad can consider!

preci0usm0ments · Mar 24, 2005

hahah same la!! i was also 45kg.. then 50kg.. now back to 46 but still going up!!

how i wish big day faster over then can eat all i want!! haha long time no KFC liao

krisjon · Mar 24, 2005

Hi Ladies,

Ooshie > Guess what, my FH told me that MM complained that by posting this thing, we have ruined the image of their hotel. We got ticked off for nothing but what we are stating is the truth. Probably some people in the world are just born soar loser... I have informed Chin Leng to remove this post... and gals do you know how long he takes to remove this post I had for MM.

what else can I say. Anyway, have decided to sign with Orchard Mandarin since their package is good and the SERVICE there is good and friendly.

oohlahlah · Mar 24, 2005

Hi Liz and Godloved Sunflower, I am also having my AD on 4th Mar 06...But I haven't decided on a venue yet. Has everyone here booked their venue already?

ooshie · Mar 24, 2005

hi ginger,
really??!! they actually read the posts hahahah okok good good at least they know for sure that we cannot be bullied did they ask you to remove the post? we should warn the others against the baddies mah
good for you! orchard should be better also saw the pics for their ballroom quite nice also yeah i agree with you the service must be good my FH anything also can but most importantly the service must be TIP TOP

zenith · Mar 25, 2005

hi ooshie,
actually i'm doing my rom & ad together so am worried now that 060606 may not be an auspicious date.

ooshie · Mar 25, 2005

hey zen,
you can go double check with the geomancers in singapore before deciding. just need to give your ba zi etc and they can calculate for you. the good and bad dates not the same for everyone mah. i think if you thinking of 060606 for AD must faster go check leh coz i would think its quite a hot date esp for those that dont really believe in auspicious date and wun do checking around!

dapipi · Mar 25, 2005

Hi Marilyn,
My AD will be on 1st April 06. April not popular coz it's 'qing ming' for the chinese. FH and i also had a very hard time to decide on this date... U decide on your BS and banquet yet?

zenith · Mar 25, 2005

thanx ooshie for yr advice. any shifu to recommend? btw, how's yr preparation? hv u decided on any BS? I veri KS. Hv already paid deposit for BS, yesterday went to view venues, now looking ard for photographers.

huichin · Mar 25, 2005

Hi everyone

Moo: Cant really trim down the numbers, as they have a very big family, and two yrs back when her sis's wedding, it was abt that no. too. We are estimating it to be in Oct 2006. But now like doing research to know abt what happens in a wedding and stuff. We are looking for a gd wedding planner...

Lilacblur: Dun really have a similar type of wedding to refer to leh...thats y kinda headache nowzzz. Yea i think your idea of asking both sides then combining their ideas will help too. tks!

sunniegal · Mar 25, 2005

Hi Rachelle,

We've not started looking for a venue yet, most likely have to be very "chinese" style. Was considering ChinaClub but the max is 30 tables. So need to look for other places.

As for BS, managed to looked at Silverlining, Dang, Sattine & Amanda Lee (accompanying my friends who are haveing their wedding this year). Think Amanda's service is really good & personalized, but her package is quite ex.

As for home, he just sold his apartment last night so we need to look for a new place

It really seems like lots of work to do...

pimply · Mar 25, 2005

hi sk2

good luck for ur exams...

joylin_bb · Mar 25, 2005

Hi zen and OoshiE,
My huddy and I also intend to hold mt AD on 060606. We do face the same problem. We chose that date cos we rom on 060603. And we like 6 a lots. And it will be our 6th anvsiary on 060606. Chinese say lui lui da soon.

But Its looks like not an auspicious date.

We havnt check with the shifu also.

ooshie · Mar 25, 2005

hi zen,
i know of a few shifus : yan zhong xiu at people's park centre , myway or something like that at fu lo shou, there are several at fu lou shou also you can try. Decided on The Wedding present for my BS. Went down to Pan pac to see the setup today with my mum & sis and FH so kinda confirmed also . Will put the deposit during the respective shows coz prob got more perks hehe. Photographer using Andrew Choi for outdoor and image garden for AD. Still looking around for videographers ... hehe so maybe i more KS than you so what have you decided on for your BS and venue?
hey snow .....
wah so nice the date's gonna be ideal for you and your hubby! my FH also into 666 luck luck luck as they say

so have you decided on your venue and BS?

krisjon · Mar 25, 2005

Hi Ladies...

Ooshie > Orchard Mandarin service is really tiptop!! They do know how to serve you very very professionally... My coordinator is Henry... and the things that he had offered us is very good. I can say that we are very pleased and satisfied with his service and of course the belverde room.. The pillar not very big... and a bit of decoration will be nice... moreover we had trusted in their service compared to you-know-what-hotel..

Any good videographer or photographer to recommend??

ooshie · Mar 25, 2005

Hi Ade,

finally found accompany. I was wondering why apr is so quiet. just found our from a friend that it's because of QingMing. He mentioned that it will be at our advantages because it is a 'low' period for all restaurants, hotels, photographers... and we can ask for more freebies and discount.

We picked this date because my FH's sister is also planning to get married next year Sept and the 2 weddings must be at least 4 months apart. We will only finish our pre-martial counselling in Aug and we don't want to rush things. My brother who is in London will be taking his exam in May and will need to look for a job in June, so April is perfect because he will be able to come back because of the easter break.

We are waiting for our pastor to approve our date before booking our banquet. We are thinking for using charming garden.

As for BS, FH and I are thinking og going to JB. Had already shortlist 3 BS. But will only be going in May/June.

What about you?

Hi Marnie,

Heehee. Did you ask anyone if this is a good date or you can't be bothered? My FH and I are Christian and we are not suspicious. But not sure if our parents are ok with this date. SO it is still a tenatively date. Where your banquet?

Hi Marilyn,

I'm a Malay Muslim so it's green light all the way for us. We're having our solemnisation and lunch reception at the Asian Civilisation Museum. Where are you looking to hold yours?

I was beginning to wonder why no thread was opened earlier for April 2006. Hey...does that mean, we don't have to rush to get providers for our wedding, you know like AD photography and stuff..(?)

hi ginger,
saw this in another forum, lucky you decided not to sign up with MM

Marina Mandarin had just informed me that all wedding banquet booked between 23 Apr 2005 till End of July 2005 will be cancelled with immediate effect.

Is there anyone out there who share the same problem like me. All my planning for the wedding had been ruined and now less than 6 months to go. I feel really hardone by them because I find their management descision to cancel my wedding banquet utterly shocking. I felt such kind descisions is very irresponsible because how can a 5-Star, reputable hotel make such irresponsible decision and it's totally unfair to us. I had spent a lot of time sourcing for hotel and finally give up a lot of goods hotels to choose MM, and yet they can anyhow cancel the wedding banquet. They should not accept any booking within that period of renovation

I am really in dilema because most of the other hotel had been booked already. Now what can I do.
I went tru the contract and realise that they have the right to cancel my wedding event without any penalty on their side. I feel that this is totally outrageous because I this is totally unfair to me.

Is there anyone out there with the same problems because I really dunno what I can do now and would like to share my problem.

this was posted somewhere in december last yr i think but it just speaks of the management style ... scary man

hey zen,
kai is nice! very flowy and dreamy kind of gowns right. so andrew choi & chris ling tie up with them or you are signing them up seperately? i kinda decided on andrew choi coz FH is quite impressed with his style and photos also have frenz who have used him
haha... no lah i also have emailed Fabian, he din think i was crazy when i mentioend June ..... think prob he is busy or overseas during this period i think i emailed him early this month or something.
