Carlton Hotel

[zhuzhu]

HI Qiqi

I think Jerrie is quite ok lar..its more like give and take thing lor...

Hi Popie
Haven gone for my food tasting yet. Outlook wise, i guess alrite..but there are 4 big pillars in the ballroom. But I think the package is considered one of the most value for $ around that area.

 

[qi_nd]

Hi Zhuzhu,
huh!!! must go down and view first... hope they have other ballroom? DO they have there? Zhu, you have any idea? But thank you for your info....Im going to view Novotel Apollo and suntech and carlton together on 22 may sat.. wow hot day!!!

Hi Popie,
Have you met any banquet mgr?

 

[delightfly]

Hi, Guys,
You can log in to the previous post message in February for the wedding decoration, it was nicely done by Carlton. Jerrie was telling me that it might be change for new theme for next year but she cant guarantee how is e decor...

 

[blueberry]

Hi ZhuZhu,

Din chat with you for a long while.
Hope your preparation went on smoothly.

Meet up with Jerrie last few weeks ago. Talk about the invites cards and favors.(there are more selection now. Deco wise not much or a choice. They don't have theme ones like other places have.
So far so good.

Hi Qiqi,

They have two function rooms.{Esplande(smaller) and Empress(bigger)}
The one at Esplande is more private coz facing the waterfall..
There is another function room(but more to corporate uses. so they wont' use it for banquet)

Wow, three in a row... better view all and then decide.. don't decide on impluse.... bring your digicam too.. to take photos... you never know when you might need to refer back again.

 

[zhuzhu]

Hi KK

Long time no see..I heard from my frend she went to choose her card..but not much choice..what other new favors they have beside the bear? actually hor..i dun think the decor looks nice..but then..since the dinner is not too X..so chim chye lor..

 

[blueberry]

Hi ZhuZhu,

Yah. the card only three design. white, pink and red. Most likely I will choose the pink one.
beside bear, got key chain, chopsticks, the rest I can't remember cos dun like.
Agreed about the deco. What to do, dinner not x. but actually better. Dun want the hotel to outshine me. heehee....

 

[zhuzhu]

Hi KK

ya lor..aiyah since the price we got was not that X..so make do lor..actually i don't like the big chandlier also..

 

[blueberry]

ZhuZhu,

Maybe the chandlier is too big and the ceiling is not high enough. Have you meet up with Jerrie yet?

 

[zhuzhu]

HI KK

Not yet...think we will meet up when the date get closer..but it won't be until sometime oct lar..

Hi Jean, Meihong,

If you are interested in holding dinner at Cartlon, it's best when you sign up during the Bridal show... There is more additional perks that will be given. For example, free printing, additional helper's room, cocktail, and some which I can't remember. I only know there is one in Oct. but dun know if there are any for the rest of the year.

[zhuzhu]

Hi Ladies

I just got noticed that Jerrie is leaving Carlton..

 

[angelia_lim]

Hi

Can i join the conversation too? My AD is also at Carlton. Notice Jerrie's leave only today when i call her. Discover that there is not much choice of cards. 3 only rite???

 

[butterkiss]

Oh god... Jerrie is leaving?
She used to be from M Hotel... Wonder where she will be going this time round...

 

[elaine77]

Hi ladies,

Im also having my AD at Carlton, so suprised that Jerrie is leaving. I think she had been with the hotel for around 2 yrs. I liase with her before, she is ok but just a bit rigid. Anyone knows is Diana is still around? She is my co-ordinatoor, i find her quite nice and friendly.

 

[butterkiss]

Hi Elaine,
When is your AD? I am still deciding whether to have mine at Carlton or not... I find the ballroom a bit cramp and the ceiling low...

But if I am having it at Carlton, I can have my ROM on the same day, by the poolside... and can make use of the projector
Btw, did you visit the bridal suite? is it nice?

 

[sugarbabe]

hi gals,

juz wanna ve some feedback on Carlton htl, cos heard some really bad comments abt them.

 

[blueberry]

Hi Girls,

Jerried confirm no longer there.
I was asigned the manager, Lena.
Anyone also asigned her??

Elaine77,
Diana is no longer there.
I think she left last year.

 

[butterkiss]

Hi kk
How is Lena? Is she friendly? Are you going to sign up with Carlton? I still can't make up my mind...

 

[fern]

Hi gals,
I had my AD at the Carlton last Sat 12June. I had a really good experience. the banquet staff and co-ordinators were really efficient. I bargained for 2 nites stay at the wedding suite and they gave it to me even though i just booked the esplanade ballroom for the dinner. I only had a small one with 12 tables. The wedding suite was on the 26th floor w a fantastic view. the room service was good. i gave them good comments.

Only complaint i heard was that the food was not hot enough at the dinner. I already gave them that feedback during food tasting, but still like that...

 

[tessy]

i'm also having lena as coordinator since jerrie has left. My big day in 3 wks July 11.

fern,
u're good! how did u manage to get 2nite! good bargaining skills. Was it jerrie whom u liasied with previously?

 

[blueberry]

Butter,

I have already signed up with Carlton last year.
Think saw Lena before. Have not met up with her to discuss further. But feel she should be ok.

Fern,
Was Jerrie around at that point in time? Or was it another person?
You sure have a good bargain on the suit stay. Did they also gave you the helper's room?

 

[zhuzhu]

Hi Tessy
woman...u also pop by here?

HI Fern
2 nite suite stay...wah...we should have gone together and force carlton to give us dat as well..

 

[fern]

i liased with Shafie who left after a few weeks in Carlton, then came Jerrie. It was Shafie who gave me the deal. They did tell me no gaurantee; i can only have it if it is definitely free and available. If not, they might downgrade me to a deluxe room or something like that.

 

[angelia_lim]

Hi all

My account is also assign to Lena after jerrie has left. As for my case, Jerrie gave me the deal for 2 night stay with 1 helper room, but i took the empress room.

 

[babybbsg]

Hi Angelia,

how many tables do u have? Can I ask? thanks

 

[zhuzhu]

HI All

R we supposed to like you know say "hi" to lena??just to let her know we exists?

 

[delightfly]

huh !...Jerrie left the hotel liao...I find that she is a nice lady ....a bit worried the next coordinator will be as good as her or not ..

 

[xiaomin]

Hi Clare,

Hope you can share more experience abt your ROM at Carlton. Which function room would we be given for the food reception? Isst near the poolside?

Thank you!

 

[angelia_lim]

Hi Angeline

I took up 25 tables as a minimum first when i sign the contract. Near to the date then i will increase to 30 tables.

 

[clarewoo]

Hi xiaomin,

Overall, a pleasant experience for me. I had my solemnisation at the poolside as it was a sunny day. We proceed to the function room for buffet lunch. Food wise can't comment much cos' I dun have much time to eat but the chocolate cakes are yummy

If you're taking the package deal for max. 30 pax, the function room will be on the 2nd floor, I've 4 tables and it's still spacious. But if you want to do your solemnisation at the function room itself, it will be a bit cramp and there won't be much space for you to march in.

 

[blueberry]

Hi Zhuzhu,

I think I will just drop her an email. Need to follow up with her our requests. let you know how is the outcome. We are still in the mist of confirming the number of cards we need. so once finalise will meet up with her. Should be in a week or two.

Hi Clare,

I will also be having the sole by the poolside. DO you have any pics to share?

 

[clarewoo]

Hi kk,

Can give me your email? I send the link to you.

 

[xiaomin]

Hi Clare,

Thanks for sharing your expenrience.

I checked with Carlton. As my reception is from 3-6pm and they have weddings in both their ballrooms on my ROM day, they can only allocate me an L-shaped room, called connauge room i think.
Have you seen or used the room before?
How is the ambience?

Thank you!

 

[blueberry]

Hi Clare,

You can PM me.
Thanks in advance

Hi Xiaomin,

I have seen the room.
Do you have a lot of guest. If so, could be a bit cramp there.

 

[clarewoo]

Hi Xiaomin,

Now that I remember, my function room is also connauge room

. As we don't do our solemisation in the function room, there wasn't much deco. You may want to leave your email here then I can send you the link to my ROM pics.

 

[xiaomin]

Hi kk,

I have abt 40 ppl. Now need more info about the room. Thanks for your advice, will keep in mind.

Hi Clare,
My email is [email protected]. Thanks alot!

Gals, if the solemnisation is held in the room due to wet weather and with 40ppl, wld it be very cramped?

 

[babybbsg]

hi all,

anyone here not signing up the min 25 tables but get to use the ballroom..
Urgent if not convenient can pm me.Thanks

 

[camy]

Hi Clare,
Can i view your pic too? Please send to [email protected]

Thanks
