Rick,have you found ur coordinator? Ours was Mandy-shes really patient and respond to your qns promptly. Do agree they are nt really lax with their perks. However,i went down to view one of the weddings recently and the black and red theme (with rose petals on the tbl) look classy and elegant for those who aint superstitious. Hopefully no glitches nearing n on AD..=)

Hi everyone,

Long posting, but I appreciate your advice/feedback, as I'm not sure whether to hold my wedding dinner at Hyatt's Grand Ballroom.

I have always preferred hotel ballrooms that are pillarless (plus point if they have high ceilings too). As mentioned in some threads, Hyatt has ballrooms that are pillarless but those are not able to accomodate more than 60 tables.

Grand Ballroom can max 70 tables and has a nice feel. I like its stage backdrop and reception area

The downside is the pillars in the middle of the room, which block some tables' views from certain angle/distance. Also, given its low ceiling, the pillars somehow makes the room smaller. For the same price or less, I could probably get a big pillarless hotel ballroom, with high ceilings somemore - e.g. Orchard Hotel (one star lower though?).

Nonetheless, I'm still considering Hyatt because it's a good hotel and I feel comfortable with it. Most importantly, I read mostly positive feedback on the service, food, coordinators, etc.

So, the bottomline is should I let the pillars affect my decision? We are also considering Ritz Carlton and Shangri La but the latter (our 1st choice) is not available on the dates we want

As for Ritz, you all know lah, grand but heard that its food/service is only average, hence not worth its costly package??

I now need to decide among Hyatt, Ritz & Orchard Hotel. Not very 'wowed' by Orchard though, but its package is the most attractive (in nett terms) + known for its good food (Hua Ting)...

PS: Sorry if I sound like some dumb bimbo. Just thinking out loud in writing ;-)
 
Hi all, registered so I can post my feedback on Mandy.

I totally agree that she's a good coordinator. If I heard correctly, she has around 15 years of wedding planning experience??

I met her yesterday and felt very at ease. Though it was after office hours, she was very patient answering our many questions. I like her sense of humour & her professional working style - upfront and doesn't 'sweet coat' things.

Mandy definitely increased my positive impression of Hyatt. If I do sign up with Hyatt, I'm glad to have Mandy as my wedding coordinator! Meanwhile, to continue discussions with families...

Hi Tang Shanghai

The room i m having only caters to max 20 tbls and there are pillars too but i guess alternative is to get 2 LCD projectors so frm all angles, the guests are able to view video montage etc but other than that, the events on the stage might be a prob but usually all that's on the stage is when the couple is toasting and giving their speech so if it matters to you greatly that the pillars are going to be an obstruction,u might need to think again.

Hi all, I came here to compliment my coordinator Mandy.

I had my wedding in Grand Hyatt in Sept 2007 and I have to say it was very nicely done. Mandy was my coordinator and she's the best coordinator i could ever work with. She was very patient, accomodating before contract, throughout the preparations and on the actual day. I had all my events (solemnisation, lunch reception , tea ceremony and dinner banquet) held in Hyatt and Mandy has done a great job in organising everything for me, even till the last minute. Nothing went wrong and it wa hassele free. All my friends, relatives and in laws from overseas was impressed and said it was a posh wedding. Thumbs up Mandy!!!

By the way, I took the Magnolia/ Vanda room. I had no complains with the pillars and the LCD projectors and plasma tv attached on the pillars provided video feature of what is happening during the march in and on stage.

If anyone would like to have a look at how the setup of the solemnisation room and magnolia/vanda room looks, please email me at [email protected]

Good luck girls.

Hi all, I am considering GCW's Riverfront Ballroom and Grand Hyatt's Camelia Room for 20 tables. Which one would you choose? Mind sharing some experiences if you had your dinner in one of these places? Thanks heaps!

Dear all,

Just wondering if any one of you had held/are intending to hold your solemnisation at Hyatt, probably at the garden?

Cost-wise, is it possible to let me have a rough idea?

Hi Ladies

I will be holding my wedding on a weekend in Dec. Wonder does most brides choose menu I or II? And also, I am contemplating on the theme as well. I really like the black but not sure how it will turn out...

Hi Wendy,

When are you having your ROM? Cos I know their Balinese Garden will be converting to a spa sometime aug or sept this year......i love the concept too but too bad.....

Can anyone who has seen Hyatt's wedding themes share pics or some info abt their theme for 2008?

Thanks!")

Hi, can I know the ceiling height of Hibicus Room? What is the min and max number it can hold? Will there be pillars and chandeliers in the Hibicus Room? Thank you.

Hi, I'm not sure of the ceiling height but i think it's at least 3 metres. Not exactly very high, but won't feel "cramped" by the height either. Min is 25 tables for weekend and max out is 29 tables. It's pillarless.

Hi

Just seeking opinion from Hyatt B2B. If given a choice between these 2, which one would you go for?

1. 10 tables at Hyatt Camelia room, WEEKDAY 8-course dinner
2. 10 tables at Royal Plaza on Scotts Balmoral Room, WEEKEND buffet dinner

Am desperate for some advice, thanks!

hi Ardenz

GH is a better class than Royal Plaza. Heard food is better. Service also

moreover package for weekday for GH is not too bad

Hi Ardenz, i have posted in another thread of urs abt Royal Scott.

Infact i am holding my banquet for 20tbls at Camelia room..some ppl feel it is quite dark but i think i am fine with it becos i like the classy effect-with black and red, nothing too bright..if you like intimate settings, GH will be the choice for you

Hi to all,

mine will be the Hibiscus room for Sept 2008. I really like their black theme, looks very classy whereby most of the hotels will not use le.

Hi Phy,

Initially I was contemplating between these hotels too. Intercontinental has very nice ballroom but it is slightly beyond my budget, esp when i'm looking at saturday (even more ex for auspicious date) and I heard that the food is normal. Then deciding between Hyatt and SMC. Ultimately set my mind on Hyatt (jun '09) as I do believe that the food is much better (tried some of the dishes during their wedding showcase) and heard quite good reviews abt the food too. So eventually I chose food over the ballroom (SMC does have nice ballroom and a private reception area but think food also so-so and don't really like the uniform of the waiter/waitress.. heh..). These are juz my 2 cents worth of thoughts.

So depends on what is your priority. Wish you success on your search for the ideal hotel.

PS: According to earlier post there is a wedding showcase this coming Sat at Hyatt. You can call and check it out. It would be good if you can go and have a look.
