Hi everyone...newbie here!
Waaaa...so many BTB in 2010 ha...
Hi Eve, my details as follows:
ROM date is 9-Aug-09 National Day...easy for my hubby to remember...
AD is Aug 2010, prefer National Day also as long as Feng Shui is good
Others not confirmed yet...
looking for some nice place for my upcoming ROM cos we only have a small group of 20 pax, and most of the hotel doesn't really care about us
so sian...approach Marina Mandrian and the sales directly reject cos min 50 pax and somehow maybe working on Sunday not happy, attitude not very good...
Anyone do ROM at Villa Halia @ Botanical Gdns can share some infor?
Also start looking BS, approach IMM New Image, but haven't try gown yet...i insist to try their gown first before i negociate further with the lady manager...price quite attractive compare to tanjong pagar's BS...

base on my personal view:
Pan Pac food just ok...seems the lobby is quite dark...my friend have 100 tables there...scary...not much impression
Marina Mandarin food better, they have a small bollroom quite nice, but ceiling is very low, seems their business is quite good now, don't even want to entertain small customers
PR @ Beach Rd no comments, never been to there for weddings
maybe you can try Amara Hotel also, how about Royal Plaza on scotts (max 11 tables only)? food very nice...

Welcome to all new 2010 BTB!!
cloud - Sure, will share the pics after my ROM =)
felicia - Never attended weddings at PP and MM hence no comment... PR @ Beach Road, I got recce also, but IMO, I dun like cos all 2 or 3 ballrooms at the same place thus have to share reception area (will be chaotic), service crew also very 'ruan' cos like duno serving which ballroom and the noise level is very high cos place not big...
iLuvPurin - Never been to AS so no comment... been to Intercon for D&D, food not bad, like the long ballroom and their lightings... seen their actual wedding setup before using big cream roses very elegant!!

hi all... i'm penning down my feedback for AS and Intercon, hopefully you guys can help to give me some feedback which one to go for. sorry for the lengthy post.
we visited intercon first, followed by AS.
intercon ballroom is indeed grand and bright. the coordinator showed us the ballroom and it really WOW WOW us. the hotel has very nice themes to choose from, invitation cards and wedding favours. They pay alot attention on details which i like..
it may be a little squeezy to hold a banquet anything more than 35 tables... 35 tables just nice, 37 already abit tight on space and 40 will be super tight and my guests will need to lose some weight.
however, the catch is, the date that i have chosen requires a minimun spending of 40 tables even if i dun take all 40 tables since it's an auspicious date, besides i have to top up additional 100 per table... wah seh.. abit blood sucking now.
AS on other hand, i like the resorty feel of the area, no tall buildings and crowds, pretty exclusive and maybe you could even spot a peacock. the ballroom is huge as it can hold up to 50 tables. if i were to compared, the ballroom is not too bad but it is not as grand looking as intercon and looks kinda dark but the hotel tries to make up for it by using special effect lights, meaning there will be multicolour spotlights shining on the table. besides, the interior design is more modern and chic especially with the high ceiling.
AS does not provide themes, their invitation cards and wedding favours are quite horrid and look cheap imo. I probably be sourcing for my own vendors if i take AS.
In terms of pricing, intercon is just slightly more expensive cos of the additional top up per table so not much of a difference.
Intercon is great for it's accessibility but the weekend parking may be a problem as the hotel shares the basement carpark with Parco. AS has it's own basement carpark which i didn't expect and they have shuttle buses from harbourfront every 30 - 45 mins so that solves my transportation issue by 75%.
Well, both sides have their pros and cons..... headache headache...

iLuvPurin> I've been to Intercon for wedding dinner b4 last yr. I feel tat their food is not hot enuff wen served to us (guests) and the music for the march-in is too loud. Their lighting throughout the dinner is rather dim too. Saw a few of them said the parking there is not so ideal coz it shares the same parking as the shopping centre? And oso if cars tat's been modified b4, oso a bit difficult to go into the parking, coz will scratch the bottom of the modified cars? HTH! I'll be gg Intercon for a wedding lunch tis sept for my SIL's wedding too.

Oriental is very nice. It was one of our first picks... but the price also very "nice" =S
iLuvPurin > we saw a couple at the sofas at the ballroom area on sat around 4pm talking to one of the staff... was that you ?
I think for AS and Intercon type of price range.... have you looked at conrad ?

darrel > where were you? i was at intercon ard 5pm.. and AS ard 7pm.. i was in black and my FH was in red
i din look at conrad or oriental cos i think their ceilings are low right? i prefer ballrooms with high ceilings and intercon AS fit my requirements.

actually i was staying at AS over sat. around 3ish-4, we were checking in, saw this couple with one of the staff at the banquet area.
maybe u can go check out these conrad and oriental. Worth looking at. Actually after we looked at oriental, my wife was looking at all the possible combinations of dates to try to get our dinner there... but at the end, we dropped oriental cos of the price.
My dinner will be at conrad. =). Another place you can check out is the main ballroom of 4 seasons.

AS ... well, my wife liked it. The great view and the sky pool.
I preferred Sentosa Resort and Spa.
but price wise, AS had a better deal. $268++ incl 2x luge tickets and 2x songs of the sea tickets + buffet breakfast.
of course still tops is Naumi Their deluxe room is comparable to the suites i've seen at some hotels.
Don't bother with hotel 1929. too small and cramped :S

iLuvPurin> there is a wedding show at Intercon on 17 May (Sun), $32nett/couple, $25nett/couple for UOB card members… if u r interested, can call 6825 1181 or email to [email protected] for registration… BS Divine Couture will be show casing their gowns as well…
perhaps u will get a better deal during the wedding show?? Ask for more perks… or waive off the additional $100/table…
my advice: u got to consider the minimal space if u r having more than 35-40 tables… will b quite squeezy for ur guests… and esp when u go table to table for photos taking… if u really like then u got to minus some tables liao…
as for Amara Sanc, I’ve been to their wedding show in 2007 when they r still newly opened… quite like the ballroom as it is big enough & hv high ceiling… cant rem if hv any pillars anot… think their bridal suite also quite nice…
if u compare both prices… I will think that IC will be more worth it… cos u dun hv to top up again for the invites & favours and also waste time to source… and if u r able to grab a gd deal with IC during their wedding show, then dun think liaoz… hahahaa… cant really hv all the good and none of the bad… I’m also like u… think too much and worry too much le… in the end u oni stress out urself… this is ur big day leh… for parking, think of the bright side… can encourage ur guests to take public transport since IC is at bugis stn… save petrol and avoid traffic congestion
felicia> def ur date does not clash with me… mine is in Oct… heehee… u can contact Linda to chk for availability first… let me kw if u need any help regarding PP… I hv uploaded some photos on their latest wedding themes during their wedding show in multiply… u can add me to take a look… =)

Hotel 1929 is really too small..we went to check that out too..how about Scarlet or Majestic? Tho personally I find Scarlet looks nicer...
Purin >> I don't like intercon's service..i find their after sales service kinda bad..my friend told me they sent them a bill for the sofa in their bridal suite coz it was stained. But there's no proof that they were the one who stained it.
Jac >> Goodwood park's very nice..we went to chcek it out, like the layout everything but it's too small for us..
