Four Seasons Hotel

[compassrose]

No probs gals.

Good idea Jul! let me check with them if there is additional cost.

Hi Quack,

Yeah. i feel bad eating endangered animals.
True, gather more feedbacks on the foods first before you go into details.

Hi Beary,

How are you? Hope things are going on well for you? Remember we were on the topic of printing invites? In the end, i decided on hot stamping on the leafy invites, with a English couples picture on the left side (the groom wear a tall hat carrying his bride)quite cute to me. And i bought some double happiness sticker to paste on the front page. And i bought some silver ribbons as well. So intend to use the ribbons for close friends and double happiness stickness for relatives (to please them)

Guess that is the most cost effective way i can think of. Thanks for your wonderful ideas tho.

[vivbl]

hi beary,

it's ok...no worries. thanks for your pics of crescent room. it's beautful.

 

[ttyy]

beary, can u send me see your pics of the crescent ballroom?

my email is [email protected]

 

[ttyy]

anyone else here use the other ballroom - FS ballroom? what is the minimum no. of tables?

im probably having 15 or 16 tables and im starting to think crescent ballrm may be a bit too small.

 

[kenshare]

i tink min is 20 tables.....

 

[julie0870]

Hi Jo Len, min is 20 tables for weekday and 25 for weekends.

Hi Brides,

If you need any projectors, audio equipment, can contact this guy. Sim @ 9743-2423. His price is reasonable, less than $200 and very reliable.

Cheers!

 

[jlynn]

Hi there, just wondering if anyone has managed to book a ballroom for dates in 4th quarter 2008? Don't know if FS is open for 2008 booking yet...

 

[paulineda]

Hi there, any kind souls can email me the ROM lunch or hi-tea package for Four Seasons at [email protected]?

Thanks! =)

 

[bellygreen]

hi there, is anyone having their wedding dinner at fourseasons ballroom on 30/12/2007?

 

[happi_bride]

how many coordinators do they have at four seasons? lewis, and eugene, and any one else? who is better - probably more approachable and perhaps more generous with perks?

 

[smurfying]

Fanny, i believe tat all coordinators are great and approachable. They're in general helpful and if ur request is within ur limit, they would definitely accede to ur request. E.g., waiver of 2 bottles of hard liquor, but not waiver of 10 bottles of wine. Or u request for early chk in, but not free room.

 

[madhatter]

Hi 4 seasons girls! did anyone manage to get waiver of corkage in your contract? I didn't manage to before signing. Now am wondering if its possible after signing the contract.

 

[schnauzie]

Hi all,

just collected my invitation cards from AWT yesterdae b4 popping over to jiang nan chun for food tasting. Food was GOOD! spoke to the chef and we actually tried the yan paste, the western dessert but din like it then eventually the chef brought out the mango dessert for us! we love it and decided to stick with the original mango dessert.

i think gettin a waiver on corkage is almost impossible..unless u forfeit ur hotel stay? not sure have not tried it yet.

really feelin excited abt my wedding in March already..have decided on the table cloth, plates colors etc but just havent decided on the table floral piece design.

 

[smurfying]

MadHatter, I would say almost impossible to get waiver for all wine. But my CO allows us to bring in 2-3 bottles of hard liquor free of corkage.

 

[happi_bride]

food was really good?

schnauzie - pls share with me which menu did you choose. also what are the individual dishes you have chosen.

perhaps the chef is not good with yam paste, but better in western dessert? i shall rem to taste the mango dessert (if i sign with them)

anyone has pics of the ballroom with full decor? and did anyone seen their bridal suite - how was it?

i did ask if i can forfeit one night stay to exchange for stuff, but seems like FS is not able to do so for us. rather strict lo.

 

[julie0870]

I also didn't get any waiver on wine....only hard liquor.

I saw their bridal suite...quite nice.

The room is quite big, only thing is that the toilet was a little small.

 

[schnauzie]

hi fanny - i took the cheapest menu ;p found everything quite good but told me to tone down on the salt..strangely my dishes came out abit salty

i tried the western dessert..looks nice..taste quite nice but a tad too sweet for us

i saw tt eugene gave me some maps to four seasons..did anyone actualli attach it to the invitation card?

 

[happi_bride]

hmm. somehow i feel that there are pressuring me to sign up leh. every few days ask me when i can sign up. really haber decide yet.

 

[rubberducky]

fanny, could it be because you've already passed the usual 'hold' period of 2 weeks?

We were not pressurised at all.

 

[bliss77]

Or it could be that another couple is interested to make a firm booking on your date? I wasn't pressurised too...

 

[missy54]

Hi all.

Beary,
Can you email me the photographs of the crescent ballroom too please? I am currently in the UK and won't be able to actually see the room before booking it. =)
[email protected]

Thanks!!
I'm thinking of the crescent ballroom for about 12 tables in 08... all the menus they've given me sounds good!!

 

[happi_bride]

no leh. i only got their agreement like 6 days ago (if you also count sat & sun), but already felt that they are keep asking me to sign - been like at least 4 calls asking me when to meet to sign.. nvm felt so pressurised by by other hotels. gosh! not even 14 days yet.

perhaps really someone is interested?? but i did not hear FS say so le.

besides we havent seen their bridal suite and the full decor yet (muz choose a day when there is a wedding going on). when i told my colleague im selecting FS, she told me her fren had 'blacklisted' this hotel after they had tummy ache/food poisoning after the wedding dinner there. i guess its just a one time event. they muz hv been unlucky.

 

[smurfying]

Fanny, i was not pressurized too.

Fanny n Missy54, I've attached the cresent ballroom w full decor here

 

[happi_bride]

Hi Brides, I chanced upon somewhere (cant rem which forum) that you can rent projectors for only $80. Let me try to look for the contact again.

Btw, can I know which coordinator speaks Mandarin comfortably?

Also read that their sound system is lousy. Is it true? Anyone knows?

 

[clclwedding]

Hi Fanny

Can look for Mr. Sim at 9743 2423 for the projecters but if needs to conect 2 projectors, you still need to rent the splitter from him!

Cheers!

 

[psboo]

Dear all, does anyone happen to have photos of the grand ballroom? Thanks lot!

 

[happi_bride]

hi ladies. want to find out your experiences - where did u be meet the coordinator to discuss about the package or to sign the contract. is it at the lounge downstairs? or in their office, or elsewhere? just curious.

 

[schnauzie]

fanny - din felt pressurised at all..i even presurised them to hurry up with contract ;p

met my coordinator downstair at the lounge to discuss so was very comfy.

 

[kenshare]

fanny,
i met the Eugene the coordinator downstairs at the lounge.
Then we went upstairs to a lounge area besides the pool for a drink and to sign the contract..

PSBoo,
if u want the picture, i tink thats the one on Four Seasons website...

Schnauzie
Which dessert did u took in the end?
Chinese or Western?
My mum says she doesnt want the Yam Paste..Maybe we will go for the mango pudding or something..

 

[schnauzie]

kenshare - we took the mango sago with pamelo..more unique. when is ur AD?

 

[kenshare]

September..shud be food tasting should be june july bah...

did u try the western dessert?
actually, i m tinking of using western dessert but dunnoe wat the outcome will be..

 

[schnauzie]

yup..i tried the western dessert, the yam paste and the mango sago.

The western dessert looks lovely but found it abit too sweet for mass liking..and we cannot finish it! quite a huge portion..maybe we were just too filled up with the previous 8 courses

 

[kenshare]

i see...
well..then I will see what they proposed during my food tasting...

r u a schnauzer lover?
I hv a giant schnauzer in salt n pepper.

 

[schnauzie]

yup..got 2 miniature schnauzers..one salt n pepper one black and silver. wow u got a giant schnauzer, how big is it? i seldom see one in spore! got pic can show me? ;p

 

[ttyy]

why dont u scroll up and read all the previous posts? pics are also enclosed.

 

[julie0870]

Hi all,

I've booked the Four Seasons for a wedding sometime end this year. Have been busy looking for bridal studios.

Does anyone of you gals know the themes we can choose for the decoration? I remember Lewis saying white or brown or ivory.....anyone has any idea? Is the black theme still there? I'm trying to plan the colour of my EG - don't want it to clash!!

 

[tinwei]

Guys,

We have signed up with 4 seasons for the big day this end year too. but heard from my mom that actual day food was only passable at best.

Anyone here went to an actual day banquest at 4 seasons? Would love to have your take on the quality of the food. Same experience with my bro in law @ Hyatt. Food was great at tasting but only so so on AD. Cheers.

Regards
tw

Hi all 4 Seasons Brides!

Which florists does 4 Seasons tie up with? What are their prices like & will the rates be better than if we were to source for our own florists seperately? Which one would you recommend in terms of quality and service? I'm planning to book my dinner with 4 seasons in a few months.

Please share your experiences here.Thanx (^_^)

 

[compassrose]

I am having a black and red theme for my wedding in March. Hopefully, it turn out well.. hee.. Are you refering to that?

[musie]

Hi,

Would appreciate if anyone could send the 2007/2008 package to me too. Thanks. My email is [email protected].

 

[cong0110]

Hi all
Really like crescent ballroom but dinner on the date i wanted is already booked. The wedding planner suggested lunch (sit down, 8 course chinese). Any feedback on the lunch package with them?

 

[jlynn]

Hi Congcong, may i check with you is your wedding in 2007 or 2008? I'd received an email from them saying that they are not open for booking for Jun-Dec 2008 yet.

 

[kenshare]

Hi compassrose, Schnauzie
Can I ask if you prepare additional wedding favours? Or U are taking what FS is providing?
I am having a headache over the wedding favours.

 

[schnauzie]

kenshare - i am not preparing additional favors.
btw ..any idea whats the normal wine consumption like?

 

[cong0110]

Hi Jlynn,
My wedding date is in dec 2007. maybe u can ask them when they start to take booking and meanwhile u can go and view the place and take a look at the package.
