Conrad Centennial Singapore
- Thread starter faith
- Start date
This is interesting! I've looked through all the pictures and I don't have a picture of me in my wedding dress next to the table cloth! Wow! (Maybe it's a sign you needn't be too fussed about the colour!)
The pictures that do have the table cloth don't show up the colours well as well because of the low lighting.
When's your wedding?
Your coordinator will show you options a few months before your dinner (both photos and actual samples) so you can make an informed decision at that point.

Ahh, you've got quite some time left for planning then. I honestly found the dinner one of the easiest things to plan for because alot of things could be outsourced to the hotel.
The biggest headache was seating arrangements! We had a printer and laptop set up so that mitigated things a little but we were still sorting names out at 4pm!
My friends and I generally appreciate the consistency of service quality with the Conrad. Both at weddings and during non-wedding visits.

Hi all,
i had the red and black theme for my dinner on 18th... the top-up has been increased to $700 now (coz the roses are supposed to be bigger). However Catheryn has kindly offered us the option to stick to the $500 range (smaller flowers)... Love the red and black theme very much! We had glass showplates at every guest's table, displaying the menu. Food was great too, as feedbacked from the guests.. Overall we're very pleased with the service from Conrad...
Hope to get a chance to attend a dinner there again hehe..

Hi Geraldine
The photos that you are using were from our wedding back in Conrad in Sept 06. If you scroll to the earlier archives of this thread, we have already uploaded these photos.
We had used the Black/Red theme during our wedding and I believe our wedding was the first 'black theme' wedding done by Conrad according to our coordinator then. It has subsequently been added subject to a top-up amt for the red roses on the tables.
Please feel free to upload photos of your own wedding to share with everyone here (if you wish), but we would appreciate it very much if we were the ones who shared our own photos at our own time & space. I am sure you would want the same sort of privacy accorded.
Since its has already been done, no worries, but please refrain from posting future photos of our wedding. Should fellow forumers want to see photos of our wedding at conrad, I am sure they can approach us.
Thank you.

Hi Garcia,
My sincerest apologies.
My intentions were primarily to 'help' others but in my eagerness, I failed to observe the basic rule of privacy. And for that, I honestly and sincerely extend my apologies to you.
I never intended to pass these pictures off as my own (I indicated "Source: Unknown" in the titles of the pictures) and regret any distress or unhappiness I've caused you.
(I'd amassed a small number of pictures during my wedding preparation process and honestly was unable to keep track of them after a while. While some were from open sources like websites, there were others which had been passed on to me by other Forumers etc.)
Still, there's no excuse for that and I should have exercised more discretion. I trust you understand there was never any malicious intent on my part.
It won't happen again.
Your understanding and generousity in sharing is appreciated.

HI gals,
I just have my banquet at Conrad on 6 of August.
I am not a satisfied client.
There are many hiccups during the banquet.
1)Fish is still not fresh despite same comments given after food tasting.-They do not take our comments to heart and into consideration.
2)Seating arrangements is messed up and there are fewer seats on the VIP and Bridal Table-Disastrous, my father in law was commenting imagine after the march in, the bride has a seat and there wasnt any seats for the groom.
3)They even left out the wedding favours on the two VIP tables and some guest tables-Evidently, they do not do a final check before guest turn up
This shold not happen at all.
4)Trainee Waiters were used and they portion out the food without letting the guests see the display of food.-No service and etiquette displayed
5)Sharkfins and portion of food that we have paid, not served when there are empty seats(invited guests that did not turn for the banquet)on the table.-I have check with my co-ordinator she mentioned that it has to be given out regardless the guests is there or not.
Overall, I am very unhappy with the service and the remarks that I have gathered from the guests. I do not want to blow up this matter cos' wedding is a joyous event.
I would hope couples that already booked or considering to have ur celebration at COnrad. Pls ensure that ur co-ordinator would help and not cause such a BIG blunder on your big day.

Hi Babybbsg,
We just had our wedding banquet at Conrad on 15th Sept 07. Everything was wonderful and excellent. And our guests were raving about the food and service.
Catheryn (not spelt as "Catherine") was our co-ordinator for the event. She was wonderful, attentive and meticulous down to every small little details.
Are you sure that your co-ordinator is Catheryn and is she the same point of contact / person that you had liased for your banquet down to the very day of your wedding banquet?
Cos I do not believe that she will make such blunders especially on the seating arrangements as she is very experienced and had been with the hotel for many years. She was also our co-ordinator for our Solemnisation Ceremony at the Salon by The Pool in Sept 2005 and it was also wonderful. That's why we chose Conrad for our wedding banquet venue.
You should give the hotel your feedback if you are so unsatisfied with the service and food so that the hotel can improve on the areas.

Hey all, conrad is one of my shortlist hotels, but reading from the thread it seems that Conrad is not generous with their perks. Plus having to top up just to change to red roses, roses are cheap what, I mean not like orchids or lily. Btw is the chinese food done by golden peony?
Hi momo18,
Sorry for the late reply. I just got back from our honeymoon.
We had chosen the bronze organza overlay on white cloth for the tables and had upgraded to red roses.
The combi was wonderful! The guests loved the red roses and some even took it home with them!
Bronze organza on black cloth look as good too but we could not use black cloth due to the elders.. If I do not remember wrongly, Conrad might be getting some new red velvety overlay for banquet that will go very well on black cloth. That is, if your elders do not mind the black.
Jojo - the top-up for the red roses is not just change of colour. The flower arrangement for the table will also be different and more elaborate from the normal package hence the cost.
Yes. The chinese food are done by Golden Peony chefs. Food tasting will be held at Golden Peony.
My guests raved about the food served at the banquet, the feedback that I got most was that the food was 1 of the best wedding dinners that they ever had.
You will need to check with Conrad if they have any promotions, I remember they had a tied-up with AMEX 1-2years back that had discount for each table. You will need to negotiate for the perks with your co-ordinator before you sign the contract. I think that is the norm for all hotels regardless of which one you go to.
Good Luck on your wedding preparations! But I am sure you won't regret if you sign up with Conrad for they are really professional and provide excellent service. They will guide you along the way.

Hi Twink
Trust that you had a great time during your honeymoon too and thanks for your reply
I went down to Conrad to look at the set up for the black theme last week actually and my coordinator did mentioned that there will most propably be some new themes coming up next year so i just keep my options open till this december when i do my printing for the invitation card then.
Daphne
All the requests are quite standard like the request for two nights stay but unfortuately i forgot to request for the helper room and have to exchange my one year's anniversity voucher for that. I find that it not really worthwhile as the room is only for use till before the dinner start. Well......guess like what Twink mentioned, the actual day coordination will outweight all the small little perks that we do not get.

Hi... can someone tell me if this is correct? next year's weekday package is 928+++ rite? Plus tax (1.17%) then divide by 12 is 78.2 per head rite not??? I'm blurred...how come it seems cheaper than other 5 or 4 star hotels?
