Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel (formerly known as Century Roxy Park Hotel)

hi white bear:
enjoy ur photo selection.
ya i agree with no time regarding the hard liq. ask ur parents n in laws. my guests are all " alcoholic leh. i bring 8 martel, few vodka, 25 red bottles, and we ordered another 30L barrel of beer. so total we hv 60l of beer. hee hee i hv 25 tbls.
 


whitebear.... been liao.. not too bad ah.. hehehe.... not much complaints... so let it be... juz din tink its good to hv a meat substituted wif veg... yah.... wif check n confirm wif them....

dabee.. wah! sounds like a lot of alcohol leh.. hehehe...
 
Halo ladies,
can check which invitation card u all chosen?
I took the cream one but didn't notice the envelope is white until now, tink it doesn't look very presentable, any idea whether the hotel has other colours of envelopes?

Hi Dabee,
my family tinks the plates are rather small & the serving not a lot, my bf drop a email to Siva to remind him of our comments til now still no reply from him
sad.gif

Tink the feedback form is just a formality only..
Hey I saw yr BS,its at Roxy Square rite,happen to past by when going to Heaven's Touch

Hi Whitebear,
they so good to allow u to change from Diced Chicken to Prawns ah...tink seafood is more x..

Hi No-time,
oh they didn't tell us got no poultry leh, my AD is 2nd Oct, is your AD on 4 Sep?
 
cheeri... no worried... i tink the chicken source not as bad as eggs now... eggs so expensive! oni duck they said will charge extra... so gues its kinda 'back' to normal for now...

hi no time:
ya ya lots of alcohol. we are all alcoholic. hee hee o ya, hotel mention to me dun think will effect our poultry dishes as by time the lift of 3 weeks should be up. if really affect will sub with seafood not veg dun worry.

hi cheeri:
i got the cream card too. i know the white envelopes, din really mind dun bother. dun think hotel will sub with other colors. u may buy from outside. o ya fyi i sent my cards to print at t dragon. easier lar since they already has the template. no time AD is 18sept. ya my bs is just two doors away from HT, i would say that they are more specialise in MTM gowns rather than the whole wedding package. overall, they ok. finally, i am collecting my albums this fri.

whitebear: change from chicken to prawns? then will hv two prawn dishes?!

hey gals:
when i mentioned to my hubby about might hv no poultry. my hubby said he remembered that is stated in the contract that hotel will provided the named dishes at our agreed price. do not need to top up. if u are worried then check our ur contract. i am sure that hotel would honour. should be able to get duck n chicken just that at what price, right? i think hotel should asborb this extra cost.

whitebear: u selected ur photos right? satisfied?
 
Thanks No-time & Dabee....

My bf called Siva on the change of envelopes, they got the red ones but of diff size cos the red cards are more longish...will buy from T dragon loh, oh I also sent my cards to T dragon to print...
Oh no-time AD is on 18 Sep, heard there's a poolside wedding on 4 Sep, maybe will drop by to see see look look got any changes since the hotel seem to be cutting costs on some things...
Anyone interested to chk it out too?
 
Wow, dabee your relatives & friends are super drinker men!
happy.gif
Me only cater for 24 bottles of red wine and maybe 2 bottles of hard liquor lor. Selected the photos already, the photos are okie, I will not say very good but satisfactory lor
happy.gif
So you will be getting your album back, maybe can show me some samples
happy.gif


In menu II, there isn't any prawns, so I have request to change roast duck to praws.

Hi Cheeri,

Was it cream colour you saw? If you dun like then request then for other colour envelope e.g pink
happy.gif

I took menu II, so request to change from duck to praws and diced chicken to herbal baked chicked.
But dun know whether how long the bird flu doing to last otherwise no guest dare to eat, become a waste
sad.gif


No-time, how about the portion, sufficient?? Maybe you ask them to change to other meat otherwise they use frozen chicken, not nice ...Also some guest might not dare to eat
happy.gif
Did you top-up extra on flowers? Using the gold table cloth?
 
Whitebear,
its like off-white colour,Siva only got that colour, its like take it or leave it, we ended up buying other colours envelopes from T dragon cos parents make noise...

No-time,
hey I just found out u are one of the brides looking at the corsages..
I'm Adeline's fren :P
 
cheeri:
ur parents make noise about those white envolpes? oh shit, later my IL also make noise. my IL hv not seen those envolpes yet leh. cheeri are adeline's friend.
happy.gif
no time n adeline are my friends.

last night i went to HT to finalise my car n venue decor. venue theme are red n white roses, i also using the arch for the stage now. actually no much choice cos i dun wan to top extra $$. upper deck will hv no flower decor except for the centrepiece on the table.
the bird ban will be lift on 11sept right? then should hv no problem on poultry.

Hi Dabee,
u are one of the Sep brides rite,so coincidence
happy.gif

Yaloh, my mum say the card & envelope too plain in colour liao so bot red envelopes for her, I personally tink the white envelope by the hotel is more for business use not very elegant looking..

No-time,
I tink the hotel shd be about 5yrs old, just a wild guess cos its rather new, u can check with Siva..
 
hi cheeri:
i dun care about the card n envelopes, dun think many guests would keep them anyway. u know, 70% of my hubby friends din even wan any card. guys.... i posted mine to my 10% friends. usually gals wan to see the wedding card. lucky u just need to buy envelopes. one of my friend spent thousands of dollars to make her wedding cards as she dun like those from her hotel. she wan something unique mah.

i think the hotel just renovated about 5 years back. and is 4 stars.
 
me no read newspaper leh... ok.. me go ask HB to check... no news fm hotel.. so actuali assume no extra charge mah...
 
ya that is also wat i assume. if hotel never mention that means no problem
but hotel said my chicken dish will hv no chicken head leh. aiyo. duno my MIL will faint or not after hearing this
 
no head cos frozen ang mo chicken. all frozen chicken no head. do not know why. mostly frozen chicken from brazil

Hi ladies, can anyone share with me ur wedding package wif grand mecure? i tried going to their site but couldnt find any relevant info
 
tks cheeri.... for my dinner... it isnt tat cooling.... it was scourching hot in the day.... tho it rained abit in the afternoon (i tink so).. it felt quite humid lor....

my color is pink n green... both my fav colors... hehehe.. u can check with HT to mix/match for u.... they're really pretty good... u havent decide on which flowers?

hi mushloom.... their buffet comes in 50/55/60+++... plus marquee charge for poolside... chinese banquet i'm not so sure...
 
Hi no-time,
oh its quite humid huh tink due to the rain ya, so did you worry for your makeup haha..
I got some guests so concerned about the outdoor concept with no air-con & whether the fan is strong enough but I boh chap liao :P
I chose pink & white flowers but don't know how the effect is like, also agree HT's service is very good
happy.gif


Mushloom,
they have a few wedding packages.
You may want to call Siva @ 63405642 for a quote.
 
cheeri.. makeup will not b a prob.. cos hv ampoule mah... whole day i din hv time to check my MU oso.. hehehehe.... me usualy dun look at mirror alot lor.. so tat day oso like tat.. hahaha...
 
hi no time cheeri and welcome mushloom!!!!

cheeri: thank u for praying for good weather for my actual day. in the morning was really hot, i went to the beach for outdoor less than 20mins then all of us proceed to Mac for air con n breakfast. is was heart warming at Mac to see many wishers, they must be surprised to see a bride munuching fish fillet happily. one even asked is today my AD???!!! then i ya ya ya eating away. me n hubby love burgers!!!!

Heaven TOuch HT did a fabulous job for my decor. i duno my theme. i have big red n white roses!!!! the whole place was beautifully done up with sufficient roses!!!!! all guests commented that very nice..... HT is bery good and helpful. cheeri n mushloom, just tell them wat u like n what u dun. joy and marine are wonderful people!!!!! u know marine very very nice. cos of the hot sun, my car decor n bouquet look horrible dying by 2pm when i reached hotel. i went over to see marine to save my bouquet. she super nice!!! she actually re do n add some fresh flowers to my bouquet and deliver personally to my room. she make my day!!!! she also help to trim and water my fresh flower on our car. they hv decor my wedding car super nice!!!! with cabbage flower and lots of other exotic flowers and behind is a pair of wedding bells. really really very nice. i am very pleased with them!!! HT is very generous with their flowers. thumbs up for them!!!!

during my diner Mike was my co ordinator. he is great too he has been a great help to make my diner a wonderful event. all our guests enjoyed themselves very very much!!! nothing is perfect. some guests commented the food is nice good portion, some commented the fish not nice. so i think is individual preference. i myself din get to eat so i duno. my guest commented the sharkfin was great, really got sharkfin!!! i ate one bowl of sharkfin, really lots of fins, thought maybe only the VIP table has extra fin but the rest of the tables also have.
happy.gif


that night was abit hot, but still ok. the guests say they cant complaint much cos me n hubby also can tahan with our gowns n his coat. the fans on the marquee are not very sufficient, those mist fan would be good but i dun hv space to place them n they are chargable.

cheeri: take note: during my diner some hotel guests actually went swimming in the pool. when we complaint Mike went to stop them. after a while another few guests went to swim again ard 10plus till we gave up. so our guests got extra entertainment. just too bad that those are not hunks. those tables along the poolside actually laughing at them but they still con't to swim. give up!!!! all my guests like the wedding bear so much till they are fighting over it.

overall, i would say that is everything has been GREAT!!! is like wedding party!!! u know my 240 guests actually consumed 140L of beer, that is 20l x4 and 30lx 2. they all enjoyed themselves at this super party wedding
happy.gif


mushloom: dun think hotel website mention anything about the wedding diner. chinese table is at about $508++, $558+++ & 608+++ if i remember correctly.
 
Hi Dabee...No time

COngrats to u.....Great to hear that all went well...

Shit...my wedding is at end of Oct, but i haven went to select/confirm anything yet...

btw.....how was the decoration made by HT? hear gd comments from all of u....was it like a garden theme...wanted to tie up some flowers....at the marquee......do u all do dat.....DId HT charge u all extra???
 
tks nicole.... decoration by HT is fantastic... juz tell them wat flowers or color u like... they will recommend.... me n dabee dun hv extra $ so we din do anyting extra to the marquee... the upper deck does look slightly more bare ... but guess its ok .... i've been to a banquet dinner tat does not hv any flowers on the table leh...

HT will charge extra if u wan extra tings lor.... hotel package does not come wif a lot of flower deco...
 
hi all

just went down to hotel to finalise most things last sat......Cheeri was it ur wedding??? how was it?? shld be fun....... sat is a sunny day...a bit hot but better than rainy day....

but...when i chk with them on the flowers....Siva only show me a few photos....like roses and xxx....dats all.....how come u all can got in touch with HT person???
 
hi nicole:

ya i think 2oct is cheeri's wedding.
ya siva will show u one ablum of photos. the hotel deal with HT consists the minimum of flowers. i think only 6 or 8 flowers stand at the pool. two VIP big centre piece n small centrepieces for the rest of tables and the stage arch. if u wan to add more flowers, stands, tie bouquets on marquee, u need to top extra $$$$, hotel package dun include. then u better get in touch with HT for details. for courtesy, u may inform siva that u wan to contact HT DIRECTLY. i asbolutely agree with no time that HT has done a great job. (see my comments above). my theme is of big red n white roses, really romantic.
happy.gif
HT uses very fresh flowers n they are generous!!!!! i also sign up extra package (AD hand bouquet, car decor n corsages for parents & hubby) from HT.
enjoy ur wedding.
 
hi dabee

no, i am currently rackying my ad venue. may not have it in the end cos of financial situation
sad.gif


gota c how 1st... both paretns actually is all right wout a dinner...so now really depends on us

just v worried that we will make a big loss, that's all...

btw, do u have a copy of roxy's wedding packages? can pm me?tnx =)

do u hv pics 2 share? :P

how many kids do u intend to have? now got baby bonus, helps a bit...u noe, my co got at least 6 women who got pregrant after the announcement! haha a lot hor?

where r u gg 4 your honeymoon?
 
hi moo:
my thoughts are if both ur parents are fine without any diner, why not opt for a cheaper alternative like buffet at home or a cheaper venue?? tung luk chain of resturants good good also. just do what u n hubby can afford, no point to occur big loss and be in debt due to diner. the money can use to go HM or hv a baby leh!!!!!
happy.gif


i dun hv any roxy package with me anymore, i throw away all liao. sorry. do call the hotel to check lar 6340 5640 siva. ask them for a quote for reference purpose.

sorry no pics to share.

i am not ready to hv any baby yet. is not the baby bonus lar, baby bonus dun help much any way.

me n hubby no $$ to go for honeymoon.
 
hi dabee

we have v small no of tables, less than 25. think most restaurants will not allow us to have the whole floor right? u noe of any restaurants that are not too cheena but nice meal and have private function room? btw, hv u been to lei garden in chjmes? how abt club chinois?
 
hi moo

i am sorry that i could not help much leh. i do not know if restuarants are able to let u hv the whole floor if u hv small no of tables. i personally dun think so unless u book the whole place for small no. of people. even Noble house do not close their restuarant to public when the whole main dining area is booked. there was once i went, we sit at the very side of the restuarant though there is a wedding (at least 30tables). we are just separated from the weddding guests with a portable fan fold door.

i love lei garden food. good but super ex. i saw from lei garden thread one table can fetch to 1.2k. club chinois is where? orchard or orchard parade hotel? i cant remember the price maybe 500 to 600plus.

another cool n classy restuarant by tung luk would be Jade at fullerton hotel at least 1K per table. another one i love is on top of captial buliding at shenton way like 60 over floors, cant remember the name, they also esp for small wedding, cant cater for more.

moo, i think u hv to look around, call up and ask them to fax u their weddings package. then see which is within ur budget then visit the resturants ard 5plus when there is actually a wedding. i think mostly restuarants food sure better than hotels. that is my feel. i went to ritz carlton, shangri la, raffles hotel for wedding before, they cost like at least 1.2k per table. the food and service also so so only.
 
hi dabee

is ok, u gave a lot of insights already
happy.gif


tnx!

generally, hotel food is average except some hotels...heard that regent, 4 season's food is better than average...too bad my no of tables are too small for their ballroom...can only use their function room
sad.gif


yes, i have called up a few chinese restaurants and they need a min sum of $ b4 they allow u to close e whole restaurant for your wedding...e sum they quoted is not cheap, i might as well book a hotel or choose to share the resturant w public.

if i am not wrong, e resturant on 60over floor is si chuan dou hua?heard good reviews too
happy.gif


will be going there one day for a meal and maybe we will decide whether to have it there...

how's life after wedding?my fh said i will be in a loss after the ad, if we are gg to have one, cos my focus now is on the ad hhaaha whether u get that kind of feeling he is talking about?

u renovated your flat? i am in the process of finding a contractor/id...v tiring lei, gota bring them to c our flat and discuss our requirements.worst, we hv to repeat what we want to everyone...maybe we shall take a recorder and tap our conversation ahaha

any advice for e hse reno? didn't know it is so tiring...heard a lot of pple hv nightmares over e hse reno...hope everything goes smoothly for us...i heard we have to select even e lightnings , everything in the hse lei, even e cabinet handles...so troublesome...nvr know that man...actually i got phobia liao haha kept on procrastinating the sourcing :P
 
Halo gals,
I'm back, went to bangkok for a short getaway a few days after AD...
My AD was wonderful but tired cos I got church ceremony in the morning followed by tea ceremony then dinner...

I also agreed with Dabee that HT did a great job. I engaged them to do the flower decor for my church as well & after the ceremony HT collected all the flowers back & decorated the upper deck for a small transport fee.
I didn't have the chance to notice the decor much but I got guests who commented that the flowers are beautiful
happy.gif

My colour scheme is pink & cream so the effect was sweet & nice.I can't wait for the AD pics to be ready where I can relive back the memories
happy.gif


Dabee,
I tot my guests consume a lot of beer (100l) but yrs are more haha! Tink its outdoor & the upper deck is a little warm so they drink to cool down. Our wine was not finished surprisingly.

No-time,
I got no time to look in the mirror to check my mkup too, for the 2nd march-in my hair was already untidy can't imagine at the end how hehe :P

Moo,
life after marriage seem to be the same cos I haven't move into my new place yet, hubby & I still staying in each other parent's place & enjoying the luxury of home cooked food & no housework
happy.gif
We taking our time to pack our stuff over before officially moving in...
Hse reno is a more stressful experience than wedding preparation for me lah, try not to do both at the same time, my hse was renovated last year...
 
hi moo:
the "si chuan dou fu hua" is the one at OUB buliding!! i am not talking about that one. this one i been up there few times, big place so is almost impossible to book whole place. the one which i am talking about is something ye shanghai blar blar at some capital buliding.

my feel after AD is super relieved!!! suddenly everything is over.
happy.gif
very happy n glad that we have had our AD. we n our guests really hv great fun. is more like a drinking party!!!! and we played happening music thru out the night.
happy.gif

the "loss" feeling is sudden all the attention on u the bride is gone.
happy.gif
maybe this is what ur hubby means......

i cant remember much of my renov. it was actually almost 3 yrs back liao loh. me ROM more than 4 yrs ago n got our new place more than 3 yrs old.
happy.gif
so we hv been staying together with our two dogs n my PIL since then.
happy.gif
amother one n half yrs can sell our place liao
happy.gif
 
hi cheeri!!!! finally see u!!!
happy.gif

so happy right?
happy.gif

i defintely adsolutely agree with u that HT has done a wonderful job for u n me.
happy.gif
is very nice of them to "move" those flowers at ur church cere back to decor the hotel. very nice n sweet of them!!!!
how many tables or guests u hv to consume 100l? mine was 140l for 240 guests!!! ha ha ha. my hubby friend n relatives really can drink lots of beer. they are so happy. hee heee
 
thanks cheeri for sharing
happy.gif


that's why if we r having ad, it will be in 2006.

dabee, century is one of my choice mah ;)

u selling your hse after 1.5years?wah!
 
hiya cheeri! welcome back... MRS cheeri.. hehehe...

yes.. HT is really nice.... joy n marine are very sweet helpful ppl.... they did a nice job...
 
hi moo: ur AD 2006!! wow... hee hee that is still plenty of time for u to source slowly... u r really excited and getting well prepared for it. happy searching

i duno whether selling my place after 1.5yrs, just a thought though. my hubby prefer to let his parents to continue to stay there since they like it there so much. if we could afford few yrs down the road, most likely my hubby will get a small land property, so that we can keep big dogs n he can use his car at the porch.
 
hi dabee

haha yes, i am pretty excited, esp after i knew abt this website, surfing daily, a bit hooked :P

mine is also a mature estate
happy.gif


don't think i want to sell after 5 years cos it is v convenient, every corner i turn, got food! haha i like to eat
happy.gif
 


Halo all,

yaloh I'm Mrs liao, a bit not used to it hehe :P same to u too Mrs No-time
happy.gif


Dabee,
we got 29 tables leh,occupy the pool & open up a small function room, so your guests are really in the mood ya to drink so much beer...
HT is really good, will strongly recommend them for their professionalism
happy.gif

Wow u getting a landed property ah, so nice, I also like doggy but don't have the time to take care of them, maybe in future loh, which area of landed property u guys considering?

Moo,
u plan yr wedding so advance ah, my hubby & I onli decided less than 6 months in advance haha but I like the timing cos don't like the preparation to drag too long & become sian liao...
Anyway its up to individual, planning in advance got advantages like early bird discounts etc..

Hey my AD pics are ready for collection, I see whether turn out nice or not then share with u gals ok...
Dabee & No-time,if your AD pics are ready can share as well
