hi skye, glad to know u too.
it's always fun to meet new brides-to-be n share in their enthusiasm. n yep, i'm married, for a month.
thanks for the good wishes.
hey kel, i posted what i exchanged the cards for b4 in this thread. but the times change n the packages change. if there's anything u want/need, tell ur coordinator n see if something can be arranged. if the entire cost cannot be offset, u can also arrange for a partial offset.
hi babydoll, anthony was my coordinator. is he urs too?
hi pippo, i think u will be offered either hibiscus or stamford. hibiscus has a relatively strict min of 25 tables on weekend, since it's one of hyatt's more popular rooms. i think the min is reduced to 23 on weekdays.

pippo,
For the number opf table you have you can opt from Stamford or Habicius room, I think there is another small room too. The price for weekend is cost slightly more about extra $100 per table. I had my wedding last year around Oct. My table per price is $688 which is a weekday affair.

bridegerms,
They r still using that big gold flower card. I didn't take any of their cards cos i didn't really like them so i customised my on cards.
Yup! do show me your cards when they r uploaded.
I too spend my 1 year 4 month ROM Monniversary (that's wat hubby and me call it!)
at Mezza9. I must agree that the food's tasty and the big dessert platter was Yummy!

Hi !
Skye, do you mean you have already received your cards, so you have to exchange with the printer?
Och, yes Anthony is my co-ordinator too! Can you pls tell me what you exchanged your cards for? Sorry too many msgs in the thread
Pippo, if your wedding is on Saturday 2003, its $200 more per table compared to weekday price. Sunday is $100 more per table. Plus don't forget to add 5% GST. With 20-25 tables, I think the Hisbiscus room would be the most appropriate. The Hibiscus room is very nice and it has a max capacity of 28 tables. Note the prices have gone up for 2003.
Bridegerms the invitations I saw, were pink and another was cream. Can't remember much else, except that I wasn't impressed

Babydoll,
No, have not got the cards yet....but will be receiving them in early Dec. If I want to change with the printer, yes, I pick up the cards from Hyatt, then go to the printer to change it, but must top up money to change each card, and must add on cost for printing too!!
Yes, only got the pink and cream card(which is also the one with the big gold flower....ermm..if you can make out what it is!! I didn't!!). Hahahaha....looks like the cards left us all UN-impressed!
Hello pippo!!
If i'm not wrong, every year the prices will go up a little. but it's best to check with the hotel.

Hi Hi !
Och, thanks I'll check with my co-ordinator to see what I can swap, I already have food tasting.
Skye, let us know how your visit to the printer goes! Do you know how much you'll need to top up? Its such a shame that the invites are terrible, from such a good hotel.
Pippo, only the prices for 2003 have been released. You will need to check with Hyatt about 2004.
Bridegerms, thanks for sharing!

babydoll,
u can ask your coordinators for more details on this..... cos i saw some new and unique designs for cakes at the bridal show and it cost $180 to upgrade to these cakes.
U may also ask for a real cake instead of a real top tier only.
Or ask to exchange the cards for a coordinator's room..... These r just some suggestions.

Hi mio,
Welcome!
My food tasting was an arrangement made by my coordinator. U may want to check with Cynthia.
Och asked for food tasting in exchange for her invites.
I didn't use GH's cards either. I think by your wedding they should have came up with the new designs so not a worry.
I will not be having solemnization in GH as i had my ROM last year.

5.5K! not including food or beverages?? I hope that includes the flower decorations!
I had my solemnisation in the garden in 2001 and it cost me about 5K less than the quote you got!
I am shocked!

Hi Babydoll,
5.5K??? So expensive!!!! Did u ask them what is included??? Is 5.5K only for the rental of the place????? If it is less than 3K..I will still consider..but 5.5K...hmmm...I need to think abt it...
Other than the garden..is there any place that we can have our solemnization???
Hi bluechin,
Oh yes..I've heard that a lot of ppl are holding their solemnization right before the dinner...but i prefer a smaller do..that means I only want my relatives to witness the whole ceremony..that's why I need to look for a venue..
thankz for ur suggestion

Hi Bluechin, Pikin and Mio
I just checked with my FH to make sure I heard correctly, and yes we were quoted 5.5K for set up of afternoon ceremony prior to dinner. We did not ask what it included as we felt it was too expensive. We were told it was expensive due to the busy time of the year ie Saturday in December.
Bluechin, we are having a church ceremony, so opted out of having the ceremony at dinner.
Pikin, wow! 5K less. When did you have your ceremony there? What did they include?
Mio, perhaps its best if you check with your co-ordinator, as we did not enquire about having the ceremony elsewhere in the hotel.

Hi babydoll,
My ceremony was in 2001. I can't believe the price has gone up by 1000% since then. Quite shocking! I mean, that's like hyperinflation! I basically had a simple ceremony for close friends and family in the afternoon prior to dinner. I think we had about 80 guests for the ceremony. The rate included the chairs (with white seat covers), a backup room with similar setup as contingency if it rains, and free flow of non alcoholic drinks. We brought in our own florist for the floral decorations. I have a few pics if you want to see them. I just told my hubby that you were quoted 5.5K and he fell out of his seat.

Hullo!
Pikin, is your hubby ok ? I hope he didn't injure himself
hehehe. Something very odd has happened....Maybe my FH and I have heard incorrectly, but how can 2 people hear an incorrect figure? hmmm... unless our co-ordinator made a mistake. Also, can I please see your pics too ? Thanks!
my email addie is [email protected]
Pippo, I agree with you Hyatt is getting exp! We nearly didn't sign up. I don't have any good suggestions for you, as when we were looking we looked at hotels which could accomodate less than 20 tables, so our choices were limited and we only saw the smaller rooms. It was only Hyatt that we liked, and we upgraded rooms(at an extra surcharge per table) to the Hibiscus room. So sorry lah, me not much help.

Hello pippo,
May I know how many tables are u looking at??? May be I can give u some info... I have looked at a few hotels before I signed with Grand Hyatt...Are u interested in Raffles the Plaza?? What range of pricing are u looking at??? In additional to RTP, I have also visited Regent, Pan Pac, Oriental and Shangri-la, If u have 35 tables and above.. I would recommend RTP or cos their Raffles and Stamford ballrms are really beautiful...
Their prices start from 818nett and there is no price difference for weekend or weekdays... But of course they will give more perks for weekday weddings lah..

Hi Mio,
thanks for the advice!
i am looking at between 18-25 tables only. it's going to be a small dinner so i hope to have cosy n memorable one.
my budget is max $800 after addition of all the taxes. that's y couldn't go for hyatt.
what is your opinion of oriental and pan pac? i am considering these 2 as well.
funny how come weekday more perks? i thought pay more will get more perks? hee hee

Hi pippo,
For 18 to 25 tables, I think oriental and pan pac are the best choices...oriental is slightly less than $800 and the function rm is quite nice and spacious..for pan pac i think u'll need at least 25 tables for the ocean ballrm...If u are interested in Oriental..U should wait until their bridal show cos they will give more perks then...

Hi babydoll,
Thanks for asking. My hubby is OK. After all, I spend so much money constantly that he falls out of his chair all the time.
Think he's perfected the skill of not bruising himself when it happens.
5.5K does sound like quite a nice chunk of change though. I think you can probably rent out other venues (eg. art museum) for much cheaper than that. I sent you the link to your email.

Pikin,

This happens to my hubby quite often too.
Can i also see your pics? Pls mail them to [email protected]
