My PG haven give me the pics. if got will let u knw..
Hi Kaixin,
can share with us which coordinator..is it a 'she'/'he'? so that the interested parties can avoid liaising with her/him.. I personally have a poor experience with a 'she' starting with 'I'..
Overall the hotel is not bad so kaixin, you may still want to give the hotel another chance but tis time seek advice fm different coordinator.
Thanks

cirrus, mine is the same cordinator as you, Ira.since like gal0880 is also having the same coord as me. She just told me tat all perks is the same . Only those who sign on the day of wedding show got free live band .Felt abit cheated after jacqueline say got free rom and free pre-photoshoot. I'm thinking if i could change coord anot.

kaixin, i m not sure about the free rom / pre-photoshoot coz i saw that in jupiter ballroom where got free vendors display their stuff. i didnt really get to talk to the coordinators about it.
it seems like only for those who sign on tat day.
can change coord de meh??

Hi chsh16 & KaiXin & all brides/groom to be,
Not to discourage you all whose coordinator is 'I' but I am really upset with her and don think i want to see her face on my wedding day.
Maybe we are the unlucky few and would welcome all with bad experiences to share your experiences here but to be fair, I sincerely hope that those who have better luck with her to maybe try to speak up for her.
I believe we can change coordinator as we are the customers. You can always email their banquet director and relate to them ur concern. I believe he will try to do something for you. I am going to put up my request to their mgmt soon. Dont try to compromise by thinking in hope that 'she' will change for the better cos we are not paying peanuts to get monkeys as the saying goes..
Seriously, I have given her a chance before and yet she pissed me off again and again.
Again, I must say the choice of hotel is not bad but is the person that represents the hotel to liaise with us that will determine the future reputation of the hotel so the choice is up to the mgmt to decide what to do if more complaints arise against her.

KaiXin, I think the free ROM & Pre-wedding shoot is not given by the hotel but by the vendor promoting their AD photography n videograpghy services if they sign up that day.
The band is free for those signed up for the hotel banquet. The hotel wont be the one giving the pre-wedding shoot n ROM.
Cirrus, your package does come with the free band too??

gal0880, i agree of what you say. But, what does she do to pissed you off? Coz for mine ,there's quite a few things that i requested but she just say she checked for me and nv get back to me.
Seriously,my HTB and i like the hotel alot ,in term of ambience or their perks.Luckily, i haven book yet . So, i believe i will approached another coord who is thoughtful and intiative as i dun want to stress myself in everything.
chsh16, what happen to yr food coordination?

gal80, i also thought probably the free rom / pre PS is the vendor's own promo, nothing to do with the hotel but y such inconsistency? hmmz..
i remember seeing quite a few people talking to "I" on wedding show wor...
do you think we can change coord? what would they think about us? but even if we change coord, for those who's contract already signed, there wouldnt be much hope for anymore changes right?
my coord is "T" but dont seem to see anyone talking about him... anyone same coord as me?

Jacqueline: ya alot of ppl spoke to her, in my opinion which I don expect all to agree; guess either she speaks very fast or everything she reply is 'i will check then let u know' answer tts y the session can always end fast then she gets to speak with many ppl..then from there she can build her popularity..haha
Kaixin: I told her to go thru our contract before meeting us and when we meet her, she din give us a time but just tell us to call her when we are going over and when we are there, she made us wait for quite a while till i need to go off already then she came and meet me for less than 10 mins..y..cos she din bother to read thru the contract when I told her to so whatever i ask her she dont know and always like to reply i will check then let u know..and most of the time, watever qns i ask tt is the typical ans of hers. She has no initiative to find out more info that will be helpful to us and whenever she says she will revert, it takes her quite a while and her ans to late reply is always 'I am very busy' and to think I have to email her to remind her most of the time..then y do I want someone tt is so busy to reply me to be my coordinator unless she is busy attending to my needs and worse still lack of information fm her always since she is new. Every couple under her care should have equal attn fm her (if pos) but she has to b the one to plan and if u ask me, she has poor planning skills.
There is still lots of unhappy thing abt her that is just too long to relate..if you r interested to know, I may need to take some time to type out then email u personally.
For now, since u hv nt signed the pkg, you can definitely approach another coordinator which I rather you go to Albert (first choice) then followed by Terrence. Y i rec Albert, cos he is the banquet director so in terms of needing someone to give more affirmative answer then by right he definitely can give make decision and provide more info since he has been with the hotel for some time.
Just for additional info, 'I' has been with this hotel for just few months and I even wonder if she has passed her probation period and wonder if she has prior experience or not..but if u ask me..I doubt so and her PR skills CMI.

Dear all,
Would suggest you all to go thru Albert Liew. He is overseeing both Furamas in Singapore and he can make quite a lot of decisions. Very friendly and nice, informative, willing to share and give advices. He was the coordinator for my ROM and for next yr, my customary too!
Did something during my ROM to give my hubby a surprise and everything went on very well. Looking forward to my customary next yr and liaising with him.
Only side point is that he works 5 days/week, office hours and is busy busy busy. But you can drop him emails and he will reply whenever he can. If you need his email or contact, can PM me.
Cheers!

Jacqueline: for ref to Terrence, u will hv to check back past threads. For the part on changing coordinator for those who has signed up, I think they may approve based on case to case basis ba..again we are the customers so I believe if we can give reasons for the change there is no reason that they think we are the unreasonable or demanding one..
If they choose to let us go through the unhappy process with a coordinator that we cant work with, then they will have to bear the consequences of what the unhappy couple will post online about the hotel if they dont feel that the reputation of the hotel will be affected.

cirrus: if u hv yet to sign contract then i should believe u can get a refund unless they did pre-advise that it is not refundable but try talking to them again cos if they are flexible enough, they will still refund you if they dont want so much hassle over it cos u din sign any contract so u also din violate the contract. All our deposit is given upon signing contract so is understood that refund isnt possible.

gal80, usually what i did is i will email my coord after we spoken so i have everything in black and white.. (learn at work.. no black and white = no proof)
u met up with her to sign contract??
actually i think there is another coordinator called halim right? i think my friend signed up with him when she hold her wedding there last year...
cirrus, u paid ur deposit on the wddding day?? i think u can try to talk to albert regarding the band.. i m sure they can do something about it...
gal80, i was still quite consoled when u say 2nd choice for coord is terence but after that, u mentioned can read about him in past threads.. think need to find time and start reading le.. i hope there isnt any bad remarks.. haha!
but so far, coord with terence is still quite smooth.. like i mentioned, i always send email after meeting or talking and he usually responded quite fast.. he was pretty accomdative and very suan kuai.
actually on the whole, furama riverfront is one of the very few hotels that u can get such comprehensive package and it would be good if coordinator is helpful as well.. on the other hand, our coord will pass the responsibility to the banquet manager on the actual day right?

hello all.. i'm going down to view the ballroom this weekend. The person who will be showing me the ballroom will be " I" . Does that mean she will be my package coordinator??
If i really sign, how do i request to change coordinator?
If i have only 22 tables, is it possible to try to ask for upgrade to mecury room? as i saw many threads that jupitar room has two very big pillar?
Can anyone give comments on the food?

Bride83,
Most likely she will be ur co ordinator as she is handling u...
U can c hw is her service. If really not up to ur standard then request to change ur co ordinator lor. juz call the office n request.
Jacqueline,
Yup. On the actual day will be the banquet manager handling u. I can say tat their banquet manager is gd lor. my experience wif them is really gd. keke...
Mayb u can go view the ballroom first. See both ballroom then discuss wif ur co ordinator. sometimes if nt hot date, they might able to let u hv the ballroom...
Gals,
FYI, Halim has been transfer to other dept.So he is nt handling banquet sales. For those under Halim, pls check who is ur current co ordinator.

bride83, most likely "I" will be ur coordinator.
actually seriously, we will not know which coordinator we will be arranged to unless we know the coorinator we want and contact them directly.
mashi mashi, ur wedding is over? gratz! who is the banquet manager? so sianz.. my wedding is only next nov.. so have to wait... card printing, favours selection and theme selection is 3 months b4 AD and food tasting 1 month right??
Kaixin, i think u might wanna keep chasing her.. calling and email.. because it might drag and if u have not confirmed the date and it continue dragging, it might end up date being released to others...
although T is pretty good, but i am quite the kiasu and kiasi type.. almost a perfectionist so i end up emailing T every time we talk in person or over the phone. I would prefer to have a black and white in case anything happen...

wow!!! u must be feeling "light" now with all these off load!! haha!!
2 banquet manager? u mean there will be 2 banquet manager on duty that night? Sorry if i missed out alot of earlier post but which ballroom did you get and any photos of the done up ballroom for your wedding??
from my understand, T says that probably abt 3 months from my AD, i will just need to bring my contract to the vendor and they will know what to do.. am i right? as for the rest, we will have to make the 1st approach to contact coord or wait for them to call?
is the food good for your wedding? I read from not sure this thread or another thread recently about FRF that food is bad! i was there for my friend wedding last year and i feel that food was not too bad!
