Anyone gt their wedding dinner photos for Mercury ballroom? Was thinking of getting Jupiter bt when we see the Mercury , we changed our mind. It's more spacious.

Anyone can provide some comments below?

i) Food - nice?
ii) Mercury ballroom - Does it look small, cramp with low ceiling? If having a wedding dinner, it doesn't matter it overlooks forest or pool since at night we can't see a thing outside?
iii) service - good?
iv) Bridal suite - nice? looks old?

Thanks!

Dear All

Anyone care to share about the food review on Furama Riverfront hotel? Please kindly advise.

And the mercury ballroom. Thinking to go down for hotel viewing tomorrow. Is there any other thing that I need to ask during the trip down? I am just worried about ambience since mercury is not having really high ceiling.Don't know what impression it will give to my guests.

How is the service like? How many waitress/waiter going to attend the table?

Please kindly share with me...

Confused bride...

Dear All

I am thinking to go down to Furama tomorrow to view the ballroom. My wedding is on 2012. I am wondering how is the mercury's ambience? Is the ceiling high enough?

Hi happy_tulip ,when is the time to choose wedding favour ?

My wedding is at Oct, Ter just told me June i can go down to printing company to print our invitation cards but never mention about wedding favour.

After wedding cards are done, he say around Aug or Sep then arrange food tasting. Thats it.

Hihi, I went down last week to see their ballrooms. Jupiter suits us but their walkway is reali short. Anyone tried other ways? Mercury is nice too but their celling is too low n has many hidden pillar. Dun tink ppl can see much of stage but see the projector screen.. Haha their Perks r reali attractive but very old hotel w abit of stench.

Hi Irene,

I hold until now only choose the wedding favour coz i hope they will come with more choices but seems like the wedding favour still the same so i suggest you can start choosing your wedding favour around Jul or early Aug...coz now still early for you, if you decided now later they really come with new favour you will regret oh.

Hi Irene,
I am using Jupiter (smallest room) cos the no. of guest I have is not much. Ter told me to look for him 3 mths before the wedding regarding the cards. So that's about June/July.

Meanwhile, nothing on the hotel side to do. I've just confirmed my BS and gg for PS next mth.

Hi Irene,

I will confirm my wedding favour with my co-ordinator during food tasting (next week) and will ask him about my wedding theme.

I think anything you not sure can check with your co-ordinator. I believe he will happily to assist you.

Dear All,

Furama RiverFront Hotel is one of my shortlisted wedding dinner venue, can anyone share with me the photo for jupiter room?

I heard that they don't have their own Chinese Restaurant here, so may I know are the wedding dinner food good like those chinese restaurants?

Is car parking an issue at Furama RiverFront Hotel?

Please do share and email me at [email protected]. Thanks a million.

their food taste quite nice..
I went there for a visit 2 wk ago for my wedding package and solemnization but ending I never sign up with them.
Not due to any issue from them, is becos I prefer the ballroom @ Furama City Centre than Furama Riverfront.
But my sis wedding there, their decor and food all this very gd..
anyway dont worry about the parking, as I know they will offer the free parking coupon up to 20% to 30%.

Hi,

I had done my food tasting yesterday...it's was a wonderful dinner and i really very happy with their services and food wise, i will give them 8.5/10.

The person incharge of our food tasting is Mr Jason (Asst Operation Manager,FRM). He is very friendly, patience and i do like his service very much.

About food, the cold plate ngo hiang,jelly fish,prawn salad and seafood roll are delicious. Come to second dish is sharkfin crabmeat soup, we all thumb up for it! Fish, prawn and vege all fresh and yummy. Just the chicken a bit overcooked but we highlighted to Jason, he immediate feedback to the chef and they also try the chicken and promise that will take note about this. The Eu Fu noodles with crabmeat is nice and i can't believe still can finish my noodle after the previous 6 dishes. Yam paste, just a little bit tasteless (Yam) but the level of sweetness is just nice...

I really hope during my actual day wedding dinner at FRM can remain the same quality of food and very good services or if can better and more than that.

Cheers FRM BTB!

I emailed my coordinator today, she said the earlier we get it settled, the lesser thing we need to worry about. Anyway I just want to see the designs cause I might be topping up to get other designs.

I think we can just go down..just remember to bring the invoice for verification ba
