Hi no time,
I was given a room for the helpers to use in the day but they need to check out at 7pm. U may want to ask for a nite's stay for them instead.
My package only included 1 nite stay of the bridal suite instead of 2 nites. But we were given an option to return to Century on our anniversary for a free nite's stay or a free room at Century Kuala Lumpur if we visit m'sia. We opted for the KL stay, of cos
U may try to ask for this if u think 1 nite stay for yr bridal suite is enough.

hi no time:
i have not finalise the seating but most properly friends at the upper deck. as can do whatever they wan, shout, laugh, friends sure wun mind putting them or isolate them. since the stage is in front of the pool, i would put VIP tables n relatives around the pool.

Hi,
I have sign up my package with Tsuo Ling more than a year ago and love the decor at the first sight cos it looks cosy. However, when I went back a few days ago to have a second look, I was quite disappointed that they remove the "latern" lightings in the function room as it makes the room looked more grand. But now, the function room is light up with down lights only and carpet had change to brown color, which makes it look like a typical function room used for meeting rather than for wedding banquet. Acoording to the catering sales manager, they want to have more business in holding company meetings / seminar rather than just having wedding bandquet as the only revenue.
The wedding cards which shown by Tsuo Ling previously was very nice (two heart shape tied with gold ribbon) and the table flower centre piece previously used was glass bowl with candles floating and white roses surround the bowl. However, the catering sales manager in charge told us that those wedding cards design & table centre pieces have changed and show us the current ones. Both my husband & I felt that the hotel has been trying to cut costs
Does anyone encounter or attend century roxy weddings whereby both function room & poolside are occupied with 2 wedding couples? For mine, there will be another couple holding at the poolside. Does anyone knows where will be the reception tables be placed for the function room and poolside weddings? How about the reception area, where will be the reception area for function room wedding & poolside wedding? Cos I thot that poolside receiption and receipt table should be place outside since its all outdoor, correct me if I am wrong to say that. I know there is only one indoor reception area (near glass door towards pool outside), is this area used as reception for function room? As the passageway towards function room / poolside is narrow, so I am worried that the guest flow-in for both weddings might jam the passageway...... Appreciate someone can provide some advise......Thank you in advance

hi whitebear... i'm sorry to hear abt yr disappointmt.... but guess tings like tis happens.. mayb they are reli trying to cut costs.. but updates are needed for deco n cards i tink.... its kind of practised everywhere...
me n husband went down to "peep" at the poolside setup to decide to go for roxy or not.... we sneaked in at abt 5+... n again at 7+.... by 7+... the receptions are in a MESS! according to the co-ordinator, it is normal to hv the reception table for the poolside wedding to be placed juz b4 the entrance to the pool.... tats the space bside the body contour spa...
n for the function room.... it shld b placed juz outside the room itself.... tis will segregate the 2 functions...
However, tat nite when we went.... both tables are jammed at the same area! apparently... the groom using the function room... sumhow got unhappy... n self-shifted the reception table to the lift area ! so me n husband... tho not attending either wedding... still got a bit of shock when we stepped out of the lift.... it felt tat both parties are trying to "snatch" attention.... it made the lift area and the reception for the poolside wedding very messy n uncomfortable feel !
i understand oso tat the guests for the function room shld b mingling at the area o/s the function room lor.... i oso noticed tat its a bit crampy... did u not confirm tis when u signed up? but i tink its ok... becos if u are now prepared... hv your ushers regularly send the guests to their seats (once the passageway gets too crowede) .. n u can still mingle wif them inside the function room.....
you're giving me some worries.. hahaha... i wonder fm now till sep... wat are they going to change???

hi whitebear:
dun worry, u an discuss with the hotel.
when is ur wedding date? so u are using the function rm? did anyone using the pooolside on ur wedding date? my sales catering manager is also sivakumar after cara left. but after i met them to collect my wedding cards two days back. looks like siva is handing me over to this young girl Gina. can tell that she is new but she ok just tell her what you wan n not happy about.
tmw, i better check with them if there is an couple using the function rm for my weddin date. whitebear i do notice that wedding cards design changed. i prefer the old ones. the hotel has got some better changes but some not. one good thing they added more weddin favours. now got bears, bells, etc. as for the centrepiece bowl with water n roses maybe still avaiable. that one can check with the florist heaven touch. i think their new backdrop also nicer. last time no much decor very simple. that day gina n siva showed me the wedding decor to choose from. also dun hv the flowers i like leh but when i pass by heaven touch today, they do displays some flowers decor with flowers i like. i think this can be discuss.
i think if rally function room n poolside being use on the same day would be abit messy. just cool about it ask ur friends to usher your guests. maybe can display your huge wedding photo at the reception table so that your guests know which wedding they attend. dun worry is only abit messy at the reception. more crowd more fun. would be ok once everyone seated. o ya.. the hotel bar would also be open to their hotel guests so dun be surprise if u see ang mos walking or swimming in the pool.
u know some restuarants even worst they just separate the two group of guest sharing the same big ballrm by having two diff color arch. i attended one before cannot remember which relative. due to small tables like 20, two couples using the same function rm, left n right. so u get to see two couples walking along different arch at two timing. tht is even worst.

Hi no time & Dabee
Actually when I sign up with Tsuo Ling for my wedding in function room, the poolside wedding was not being booked. Tsuo Ling also told me that she will inform me if there's a wedding at poolside on same day. I personally felt that the person-in-charge should keep us inform out of courtsey even though we cannot do anything to change.
Siva told us that gift bear in wedding very common, but I never seen or received bear in any weddings I attend before leh. Have you? He said he has some new ideas and already submitted his proposal to the management for approval, it includes improvement on wedding decor & gifts. But he refused to reveal details to us in case his proposal was not approved. According to him, it normally takes 6 months to get management approval. He also told us that if we do not want the wedding cards from century, we can exchange to hotel lunch or dinner during the 2 nite stay.
For the decor, he told us if we still want centrepiece with glass bowl, there will be additional charge. Also, if we want lily instead of just roses, there will also be extra charge as well
I'm wondering whether if I request white candles change to gold candles, will he charge extra again? As you know, white candles very unauspicious so I'm think of using gold candles to match the VIP tables and stage decor color.
By the way, do we go to the florist to select the flowers ourselves or do we go through hotel coordinator.....? By the way, where is heaven tourch?

hi whitebear... yes... bears are now very common favors... n roxy is oni giving out one... i saw a colleague's dinner.. the bears come in a pair... in groom n bride's clothings! haha... maybe he paid extra to made it a pair... as for the flower deco... the hotel definitely have a fixed 'price' with the florist.. ie., if u wan sumting tat's too pricey... u hv to top-up lor... pretty common with other hotels too.. guess its oni normal... becos i tink lily is more expensive than rose lor... as for the candles... i tink u shld juz buy from outside yrself n get them to use yrs... i'd a fren previously who does tat... its cheaper tat way lah....
n u shld be meeting up the florist wif the co-ordinator i tink.. but i tink it wldn't make much a diff.... the co-ordinator probably oni need to let heaven's touch noe how much the budget is.. so we'll hv to chose within budget.. or top-up the diff... from the way i look at it... i sure hv to top up lor... cos i've been to a wedding setup b4.. find the flowers insufficient to make the poolside looks good....
heaven's touch is at the roxy shopping centre... so its juz like 'next door'

hi whitebear:
i agree with what no-time has mentioned.
usually ex flowers, we have to top up.
what is the centre piece currently? i also like the glass bowl centrepiece. sianz....
Siva n Gina told me that i have to go thru them to chose my flower decor. cannot go direct to heaven touch. i have saw their latest flower decor, does not look too impressive. and instead of roses, one of the design is white gereba . i do not know how to spell something look like daisy.
no time: u feel that they flower decor at the upper deck is insufficient har. then i must go down to take a look at one real actual wedding to see the whole setting.
ya only one bear
my MIL went to noble house wedding diner n bought back also one bear but ugly looking leh. even my little niece said why this bear bear not cute? the one roxy show me not too bad much better looking. when gina suggest tat i can hv alternate gift: one bear one choc but siva objected the idea.
o ya gina also said that i can chose the dry ice mist effect or fresh rose petals. rose petals for guests to welcome our march in. BUT siva said cannot throw petals diff to clear up.
n guests might slip n fall on stepping those petals liek banana skin.
sianz...
then maybe we should all go and buy gold candles on our own liao.

hi no time:
since is stated rose petal shower in ur contract then should be rose petal shower. but mine stated mist effect.
and also stated no duty free liquor , wine allowed. mine also stated 13th bottle of red wine from hotel at $25+++ with min purchase of 12 bottles!!!!!!!! that time my co ordinator shirley did mention that all these can be discuss the letter is just a format.
since is stated rose petal shower in ur contract then should be rose petal shower. but mine stated mist effect.
Hi no time,
I think the bear which Century is giving about 12cm (not sure the exact dimension). But I rather to get a smaller version come in a pair. Isn't it very funny for guest to receive just one instead of a pair? I think it is very unique to receive a pair of bear in wedding clothings, dun you think so? Too bad, I dun have the extra budget to spend on it
Siva actually show me the photos of flowers roses mix with lily. According to him, decor flowers mainly roses only so if you want lily to mix with it, got to top up S$$$. If you getting 2 candles for every centre piece, are you using white candles or other color?? I think gold is nice....btw what's the color of your evening gown?
Hi DaBee
The current centre piece which Siva showed me just roses with one white candles in the middle. Personally, I like the idea of having candles to lit up ambient in function room but white color candle looks unauspicious. I agreed with you that it will be cheaper we supply our own candles than getting it from them. I saw gold candles selling at $3/= at a shop in Plaza Singapora. Oh, yes, the latest flower Siva show me looks like daisy type of flowers, not impressive as you said and in fact it looks cheap....
Bingo, it is exactly the flower centrepiece & "latern" lighting I'm talking. Thanks Pagsfur. Too bad they took away the lighting and change the centrepiece. Last time with Tsuo Ling, a lot of things can be discussed and request (if within her limit) but no longer now......

Hi gals,
its been a long time since I come in cos I'm busy with my gown fittings & preparing for PS.
Hey, yr experiences with the new coordinator doesn't sound too good leh, my previous coord Charlotte also left & I got to look for Siva too but he doesn't seem to be an easy person ya
Have called both his office & HP but never manage to talk to him, only talk to his assistant gina so far.
I will be meeting them sometime this or next week to collect my cards & finalise some details.
Will check out & keep u gals informed of any updates.
Heard from gina there won't be a poolside wedding til Sep!
I'm so curious to see how the poolside decor will be like.

Have called both his office & HP but never manage to talk to him, only talk to his assistant gina so far.
I will be meeting them sometime this or next week to collect my cards & finalise some details.
Will check out & keep u gals informed of any updates.
Heard from gina there won't be a poolside wedding til Sep!
I'm so curious to see how the poolside decor will be like.
Hi no time,
Me too, EG in pink. So if I choose gold color theme decor, it does not seem to match my EG....During my last meeting with Siva, he said only gold or red color table cloth available for VIP tables. So even if u choose red color (very old fashion, rite?) table cloth for VIP tables, chair ribbons only available in gold color. So, I guess no choice except using gold color. Unless as what you said, supply it by ourselves.
It's a great idea to have scent candles in function room (never thot of this) but such candles not cheap, me got budget constraint leh.
Hi Pegsfur
Thanks for sharing with us your photos. Very nice and your EG matched the decor theme...
Hi Dabee
What menu have you chose? Let us know how your food tasting. I think I will have mine in Sept or Oct.
Hi Cheeri
Previously, I wrote email to Siva, there's no reply so I resent the email and leaving my HP no. for him to call back. Finally, he call back.
I think Siva is quite "stingy" when request things not stated in contract.

hi hi thanks sharing ur photos pegsfur they are nice.
i also duno know what to comment. i think the only way is. think n sort out what u like n wat u dun like then insist on it. but seriously most things which roxy no longer carry , no choice liao. ya last time has sliver table cloth now dun hv any more. only gold or red. that day roxy told me that the waitress n waiter might not be wearing those hawaii shirts anymore. but more formal banquet uniform with vest. i think is black pants n dark sliver vest n white shirts.
i think gina is easier to talk to. tell her ur needs she is more likely to say yes if within her means. this siva like everything also no no..

dabee.. my sentiments exactly.. but i felt gina is now being 'controlled' by siva.... doubt she can do much.. but i read b4... tat siva is supposed to b friendly... or is it another person tat runs the show on the AD tat's nice?
anyway... tat time when i went to look at a wedding.. i felt tat the hawaiian outfit is not nice at all.. =P
pegsfur... yeah.. they dun hv silver anymore.. tks for sharing anyway...

Hi everyone
In my package, I have exchange 1 x 30 litre barrel of beer to 24 bottles of red/white wine. If I want to get purchase extra bottles of wine from hotel, is there a minimum order qty required for hotel wine? As my contract does not state this. It only stated that special rate S$25+++ per bottles....By the way, the hotel is giving french wine (year 1997, can't remember wine name...), dun know whether the hotel price for such wine okie or not. Also, my contract never state that I cannot bring in my own wine leh. How come contract got differences want, i thot they have standard terms ?
Checked with Siva on the candles, he said if want to use gold candles, need to top-up extra...me expected such reply from him.
More than a year ago, I saw the hotel room decor for a wedding on that day and I remember clearly there was wine glasses for every guest on tables. But recently when i ask to serve drinks using wine glasses for all guests, was told that only wine glasses are limited and only used to serve beer or wine. Has anyone sign the package during the bridal show or seen their decor before sign-up? I meant did you all see that wines glasses lay on tables for all guest? Unless that was for show only.....

hi gals
gina told me that there would be a buffet poolside this sat. can go down to see the setup white theme or white roses i cant remember. n there is another one on 4 sept. that is all.
i cannot remember if i have saw wine glasses to serve drinks, but i think usually for wine glasses for serving wine. duno abt serving wine glassed for soft drinks.
i went to book for car decor with heaven touch liao!!
joy very nice. she commented poolside cant use candles leh. i asked her about the decor at the upper deck. no flower stand at all only table centre piece. flower stand must top up at $50 each and since mine is full house no much space to put any stands
i signed up my package during a bridal show last sept. after talking to heaven touch my feel is actually they are still able to do those decor which i saw last year leh. but expensive flowers like lilies definitely must top up. they are doin their best based on roxy's budget. so u cannot expect much loh.
o ya white bear what 1997 french wine are u talking about? i do not know. they actually buy in bulk so now n then roxy house wine do change brand. in my contract they are charging me $25+++ per bottle with min purhcase of 12 bottles. after i complaint gina allow me to bring in my own red wine, corkage free, one per table. i told her that means to be what everyone is entiled why not me???
she said ok. hope that she wun back out.

Dabee, Siva has send me an email stating that hotel is providing "Provignage- Cornerstone - Medium body wine/1997 - French Wines". Hope that they won't change last minute....Well, i supposed that wine with longer years should taste better and more costly? Anyway i know nothing about wine.......Anyone here is wine expert?
As for the wine glasses, I guess no choice but to use normal glass for soft drinks.

hi no time:
dun cry i also hv no one to share my marquee fees. sianz.
i went to heaven's touch on my own to see see look look on their car decor design. i like them very much they are very sincere n helpful hence sign up their bridal package for my actual day car decor n hand bouquet n corsages with them instantly.

oops i very blur one, could i rememebered that date wrongly again??!!! i will call the hotel to check later. i remember is today cos my hubby working cant go with me. if next sat 24th my hubby can go with me leh. aiya!!! arrgghh. so confusing. no time, i dun think that i will top up $$ to add flowers on the upper decks. u see for mine is 15 tables on the upper deck, i think too crampled liao. i dun wan those extra flowrs to create an reversible effect which might make the place looks crampy. o ya, heaven touch mention to me that there are some couples who tie balls/ bouquets of flowers on the pole of the marquee... cant rememeber how much they charging maybe $30 to $50 per ball or bouquet. they also said if i wan cheaper i can DIY. buy my own flowers and tie. but on that day where got time to tie???!!!!! my cousin said that she wan to help me to decor , my wedding present from her. i going to ask her along too see the actual setup n see what she says. sorry no-time, dun think i will share the table cloth with u.
whitebear: i do not know much about wine but with $25+++ i know can buy one very decent one from cold storage!!!!!

Hi
When I met Siva a couple of weeks back, he told us that previuosly Century Roxy rated only as 3 stars hotel only and after they rebrand the hotel to Grand Mercure, it is now rated 4 star. Dun know how true it is ???? Coz earlier before they change the name, i saw the website rated the hotel as 4 star.
My wedding will be in the function room, and there will be another wedding couple at the poolside. So when I ask Siva during our meeting where to put the reception table, he suggested that since we had only 20 tables then put the reception table in the function room & had our reception in function room as well if we do not want to place at the passageway. Who would expect to go to function room straight away for reception?????
Also, when Tsuoling was around, she exchange 30litre of beer to 24 bottles of wine. During discussion with Siva (before he look thru our contract), he though we only exhange to a few bottles of wine and ask will we purchase wine from hotel. Its only when we told him we got 24 bottles of wines for exchange. So, if you are going to exchange beer to wine, got to make sure qty given is correctly stated....
To me, I think when deal with Siva, we can be nice but be firm otherwise he thought he can bully us by turning down every request we made!!
