Hi ladies,
I had my wedding dinner at the lovely Hibiscus Room the sunday before cny.
There was only one wedding in the hotel so we had the entire 3rd level to ourselves.
We only decided to have a photo montage presentation in the afternoon and my hubby managed to borrow a projector from his office. We used our own laptop. Thankfully, the applications were compatible.
The food, service and black theme set up (hmmm we paid a premium for these) received very positive feedback from our guests. We are glad that the chef took our comments during food tasting seriously and the dishes were less salty. But I din get to eat my favourite cheese basket as it was not brought to the bridal table... should have asked them to da bao for me as supper...
No regret insisting on the black theme despite initial objection from parents. It was really lovely, elegant and something different.
Of course there were some things which could be better.
The hotel computer could not read our files so we couldn't put our graphics on the plasma tv. This was partly our own doing as we should have checked with our coordinator earlier. Then again, hyatt should upgrade their technology and the IT knowledge of their staff.
We only managed to start the dinner at 8.30pm. My ideal time would be before 8.15pm. Actually, most guests have already arrived but were at the cocktail area. Wished that the banquet manager had ushered guests to the ballroom so that we could begin dinner earlier.
The music did not play initially during the montage presentation. The wrong cd was played after the lst dish presentation. Not sure what happened, could have been oversight by hyatt or our helpers. Anyway, these were put right almost immediately.
On the bridal suite, the super king size bed was very comfy and I like the spacious bathroom too. In fact, everything else in the suite was great!
Our coordinator was
<font color="0000ff">Ailin</font>. She was relatively new to the hotel and we were very demanding clients but she tried her best to accommodate us. Overall we are pleased with the outcome and we are glad that we had our wedding dinner at Hyatt.
It was probably a good thing that I din manage to read this thread the few days before my wedding cos some of your accounts would surely had induced additional stress… certainly hope those were isolated cases and that everything goes smoothly for all future hyatt brides.
