Hi all, actually its not true that rebecca has left. She is in fact still in amara but has transferred to another department. What i heard from rebecca is that there are actually many other staff in Weddings, for instance, samuel, Joanne (who is my new coordinator) and Sue ann who has just joined.
I believe sue ann does not dare to commit coz she's still quite new to her job. Could get her to check for you if you want anything.
Yes! bipobipobipo, i like Uncle Jeff too. =) I know other banquet managers who are very nice too, for instance, Fabian and Jason. All very warm and friendly people.

Hi everyone,
I've booked amara hotel as my solemnization this coming 090909. My ex-coordinator is Rebecca and now has been changed to Sue-Ann. Over the phonecalls and emails, she sounded friendly and prompt. Sometimes maybe too busy until it's abit blur. Just now i received an email from Sue-ann, addressing me as 'Yvonne'. haha! i'm wondering isit if the Yvonne is the one from this Yvonne(journey) from this thread?
At first my solemnization supposed to be in a function room (Connection 2) but today she contacted me and informed me that my solemnization will be changed to their Ballroom 1 instead due to my increased amount of pax. Feeling happy and excited about this "upgrade" and hopefully everything turns out smooth on that day. *fingers crossed*

Oh gosh, my solemnisation lunch is on 18 Oct and no one has yet to call me to discuss the details. Then I have to call and check.
Hi Kling, when is ur wedding day? Haiz i'm quite disappointed at the Samuel's attitude and he dun really want to help us. In a way i feel he is not sincere in helping at all. At 1 point i feel like asking for the a change in coordinator! On the good side, I heard the food at Amara is quite alright so i'm just praying their service and flow of the wedding is good!
mine's oct next yr, but meantime i haven't contact him yet, i just don really like their service coz i had to email them twice to know who's my coordinator. actually i duno wad's the prupose of contacting them, i mean when do couples usually NEED to contact them, and after doing so, what do we do/ask them?

Hi everyone, my ROM lunch is on 18 Oct 2009 and no coordinator has yet to call me to discuss the details at all. I am abit disappointed that I have to do the calling and chasing them instead. What is the normal period of time before the ROM lunch, that the coordinator will call you to discuss abt the details? Anyone knows?
Hi,
would like to contribute some comments which i experienced at a wedding lunch held at amara hotel today. I was very disappointed with their service. I am not the bride but was being invited to attend a wedding lunch reception today.
1) most of the waiters are young man like students doing part time job. Most of the guests were not being approached by the waiters for order of drinks. We had to wave and signal to the waiter to order our drinks because few of them are chatting away at the corner of the room.
2) after waiting for abt 10 mins or so, the waiter return to our table with only 1 drink and totally forgotten abt our order for 3 orange juices instead of only 1 drink. Later, the waiter came back with another 1 drink and again forgotten abt the order for TOTAL OF 3 drinks !! I was rather pissed off with the waiter as they are not old aunties but young chap with SHORT MEMORY AND SLOW ACTION.
3) The abv incident not only happened to us but to others as well. The guests have to remind the waiter for their drink orders having wait for more than 10 mins. The wedding which I attended today only consists of abt 15 tables or less which I think is not a grand affair but despite being a small scale wedding lunch, the waiters cant even give their best service haiz....
4) During the serving of the fish, after the waiter (again young man) had helped to slice/cut the fish into small parts, the waiter overlooked and conveniently took away the spoon/fork leaving the guests not knowing how to help themselves to the food without the fork/spoon on the plate (with the fish).
Last but not least, I am very disappointed with the service provided by Amara hotel. However, I am quite impressed with the nice deco of the ballroom and the food is not bad either. If the hotel can get more "responsible" staffs instead of those young student and cheap labour I think most of the guests will be most impressed attending any wedding lunch/dinner at Amara hotel.

OMG! tats quite bad! mine is next yr May hopefully by then their service will improve! I think their coordinators are not experience enough and the turnover rate is quite high
I heard from my friend who attended wedding lunch on 3rd oct at the ballroom, saying the food and service was bad
I'm quite worried after hearing that.
