[cuddly_miumiu]

hi gals, my coordinator also Katherine. I think we need to take the initiative to contact them rather they will follow up wif us... mayb they haf quite a no. of couples on hand.

 

[winterling]

Hi gals,

Ya..I agreed wif miumiu. I think we have to be more intiative to contact them. For my case, I always distrub Katherine. HA HA HA

To sleepygal: Yes.she passed to mi during the Wedding show. So I went directly to the printers with the agreed contract. And I just collected my wedding cards last saturday. HEHEHEHE. They do provide envelopes. Not sure abt the string. Cos I printed directly on the card.

 

[sleepygal79]

Hi Winterling, thanks for the info. Did you have to top up any additional cards?

 

[winterling]

Hi sleepygal,no apart from the printing cost

 

[sleepygal79]

Hi Winterling,did you decide the design of the wedding cards on the spot or can take home to consider? How long does the printer take to print the cards for your case? I have not visited the printer yet. Starting to panic liao. Now very busy with the renovations of the new house. Haiz..

Thanks in advance.

 

[winterling]

Hi Sleepygal, I dun think they will allow you to bring their samples back home. For my case, my hubby and I decided on the spot for the design (cos dun really have alot of designs)... I think shld be ard 10 working days ba.

Mi too... start to panic already. Still got 3 mths to our wedding date... Haven do quite alot of stuff...

Ooo you got ur own flat..so nice.. I will be staying wif my mil....

Hi, gals I just had my solemnisation done at the Grand Mercure poolside. I did my own poolside deco inside of taking their floral package which costs $400++. I've got lots of great comments by the guests. I'm now selling the rose brunches. However, I no longer have the purple organza anymore. But you can get the organza cheaply from People's Park. I have a total of 16 brunches, selling for only $1.50 each. I have other items for sale which I used for the poolside solemnisation as well. Do take a look. http://www.singaporebrides.com/forumboard/messages/153856/760218.html?1222873313

 

[xhinn]

By the way, attached is the pic of the one that Grand Mercure was to provide for me if I take their floral package. Its a small stalk of fake white rose with green organza ribbons.

 

[sleepygal79]

hi gals, i will be having my food tasting on 13-Oct. So excited. Any areas to look out during food tasting?

 

[cuddly_miumiu]

hi sleepygal, dats fast.

hope dat the food will turn out gd. mayb they will gif u a checklist to comment on the food. Do feedback anything u dunlike abt the dishes....

 

[sleepygal79]

Hi Miumiu, overall service and food is ok, except that there are minor glitches here and there. Found some bigger grains of salt in two of the dish. Hubby say I so heng to have them on my portion.

 

[winterling]

hi sleepygal,

how is ur preparation? another 5 days is our big day... hahahaha... we might able to see each other on tt day.. same day same hotel...

 

[sleepygal79]

Hi winterling, preparations so far so good. Just collected my gowns from the bridal shop yesterday. Emailed the photo for the signage to the co-ordinator already. Most of the guests had confirmed their attendance already. Co-ordinator informed that there are some issues with the supplier for the door gifts, she is checking with us whether is it possible to give half the guests the small cups that we had chosen and give other items to the rest of the guests. Well, i tink will be weird if we do this. So ask hubby to inform her that we still want the cups for all the guests.

Left with the wrist corsages haven't make yet. My mum is helping me on that.

How about urs?

 

[cuddly_miumiu]

wah, time flies.... so fast both of urs' big day arriving real soon.

haf a gd rest & enjoy ur day.

 

[odie24]

Hi Sleepygal,

I feel that its ok to give 2 types of door gifts... your guests will have more variety... e.g. a couple will have each of the door give instead of having 2 of the same thing. And i my cousin did that for his wedding at intercon earlier this month too... Just my 2 cents worth of opinion

 

[winterling]

Hi sleepygal,

I also just collected my gowns yesterday.. same as you, emailed the photo, attendance confirmed, door gifts done (one 1 kind of door gifts - the shot cup) wrist corsages done - wif the help of my jiemeis...

This sunday is our wedding lor... so nervous..

Btw, what time will u be reaching the hotel? Ur co-ordinator same as mine right? so u wan to march in first? hehehehehe.. what time is ur wedding dinner start?

Hi miumiu,

Thanks

 

[sleepygal79]

Hi winterling,

We had the same door gifts. Did u have any extras after the end of the dinner? My Jie Meis' wrist corsages was done wif the help of my mum and partially sponsored by my sister who bought the ribbons and flowers.

I was very nervous on sun. I tink I saw u and ur hubby on Monday afternoon when we were checking out. Forgot to wish both of u congrats and forever blissful.

Well, that day we reached the hotel quite late at about 2pm. My co-ordinator was Katherine but unfortunately she had left the hotel yesterday. Both of our weddings are her last projects. My wedding dinner was scheduled at 7.30pm but eventually started at about 7.45pm.

We had some hiccups on the dinner itself so we had to feedback to the hotel and get some explanations from them. Haiz...

With both our weddings over, who's next? Good luck and best wishes to the upcoming wedding celebrations.

Shall we arrange for some gatherings after our weddings?

 

[cuddly_miumiu]

hi sleepygal79, congrats!!

Wad hiccups u had? Prehaps the next one will be mine... in March coz we are the few active chatters in this thread. Haha

 

[sleepygal79]

hi miumiu, i would say the hiccups are not pleasant ones. Well, some of our guests were wet as some of the food servers toppled drinks on their clothes. They toppled and broke some glasses at the reception area.

Hopefully they will make improvement on these areas. haiz.....

 

[maudrey]

hi all,

i'm new to this forum and looking for feedback on nice venues for my late 2010 wedding. since i'm now overseas, i have to do all info gathering online. anyone care to share the grand mercure's package with me? i would also appreciate feedback on the little details of the package - favours, decor, flowers, etc? thanks.

 

[999hearts]

My hubby and I just had our wedding banquet at Grand Mercure Roxy poolside on 10 Dec 08.

We are very happy with the excellent service rendered by their service staffs. Their staffs (e.g. Peter, Mike, Shad and waiters/waitresses) are attentive and prompt to respond to my guests and our requests.

Our guests also enjoyed the nice cosy ambience setup at the poolside. It was a windy evening and we noted that their helpful staffs were holding onto the portable screens while our montage and morning highlights were being projected.

We are also very grateful to Jennifer, Director – Sales & Marketing and Evangeline, our event coordinator who have been very accommodating to our requests and the concerns we read in this forum.

Thank You Grand Mercure Roxy for creating a banquet with a difference!

 

[dewysago]

Hi 999hearts,

Wat theme did u use for ur wedding? N how much do u have to top up for the usage of the portable screen n the projector for ur montage?

 

[999hearts]

Hi Dewysago, our theme was Garden of Eden. There is only 1 theme for poolside banquet, and we chose the gold colour option. The other option is green colour. The screen and LCD projector for both upper deck and lower deck are complimentary.

 

[dewysago]

Hi 999 Hearts, can i know how many guests did u invited? Cos for my case, she said a rental fee is required..

 

[999hearts]

Hi dewysago, I guess you are referring to the additional projector. For us, the 2 projectors are FOC. We had 150 guests.

 

[dewysago]

hi 999hearts, thanks for ur reply. i have 100 guests, and i m not referin to additionl projectors cos we dun even have that included in our package. wat our coodinator mentioned is only complimentary for projector screen thats all. For any projector, we have to pay for rental fee.

 

[elstrial]

sleepygal, thought there's a variety of wedding flavours to choose from? now left with only 1 type?

Katherine left? She's pretty senior in Grand Mercure Roxy, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hmm.. Hope my co-ordinator is still around and will be around with the hotel till Sep 2009 bah..

 

[winterling]

hi sleepgal,

Ooo dear.... so careless.... no wonder i saw ur hubby's face like black black de....

 

[lovingcat]

Hi everyone,

Anybody had a buffet-styled dinner at GMR? Is the food nice?

 

[sleepygal79]

Hi elstrial, there are actually a variety of wedding favours to choose from but we narrowed down the the small glass cups. Yup, Katherine, the senior sales co-prdinator left GMR on 26-Nov. A pity....

Hi Winterling, no reply from you for such a long time. So nice, u went for honeymoon liao. Where did u go? Hey, we got the same good taste on flowers. My dinner actually started on 8.30pm. Hopefully they will trained their part-time properly to prevent such unpleasant experience for other guests. Keep in touch.

 

[missybrooklynn]

anyone held their ROM at the top level boardroom where u can oversee the whole east coast etc? any reviews and photos?

FH and i are interested to hold our ROM at the poolside but we are not willing to pay the $900++ on the marquees. even though it acts as a contingency for rain and shine. if have to add on the $900++, i would rather go for Changi Village hotel.

FH and i are staying in the east, so are our relatives and closed frds.. so we quite stuck in between these 2 places.

 

[chinook]

Hi, I will be holding my solemnisation at the boardroom on 10th May 2009. Chose the place for the same reason as you. Have paid the deposit but have yet to meet our coordinator to discuss the food and deco. I'll review it after my ROM!

 

[missybrooklynn]

chinook yay... a few qns to ask u

1) how much is the package and deposit?
2) wat is the max of capacity?
3) how long is the usage for the boardroom?

 

[chinook]

Hi missybrooklyn,

1) I took the high tea package, which is $1,199++ for 30 guests, subsequent guests at $35++.
2) The max capacity of the boardroom is 50 guests.
3) For high tea, it's from 2-5pm, with a cocktail reception at 1.30pm.

Nope, they have indoor weddings too. You can call them up to check with their package.
