HIGH CEILING +++ PILLARLESS BALLROOM???

[chriszwendy]

Hi all brides,

I'm looking for a ballroom which have high ceiling and pillarless... anyone can help me pls???? THanks!!!

 

[apple79]

I have been to my fren's wedding at swissotel. The ballroom is pillarless and ceiling quite high

 

[chriszwendy]

thanks, apple79!! anymore choices??

 

[hazie]

i recommend Grand Copthorne waterfront

 

[satinebutterfly]

furama riverfront is good.. attended a wedding there. it has a nice and grand feel. food is nt bad..

intend to hold my dinner there soon.. u shd go check out the plc..

 

[princess_momo]

novotel, sheraton, orchard hotel
but the minimum tables must be around at least 30+....

 

[chriszwendy]

Thanks a million ladies!!

Its really a headache to look for the perfect ballroom, don't you think?? Haiz...

 

[chriszwendy]

Grand copthorne is definitely out... cos i've got a bad experience with the co-ordinator there... just went for my girlfriend's wedding dinner at conrad.. overall it is not bad... but prob becos they have too many tall-standing flower decors along the aisle, the guests seated down may have difficulty looking... cos i was seated beside the aisle and practically have to stand up in order to see whats happening on stage!!! the food is also served quite chilled...

 

[hazie]

Chriz,

what bad experience u encountered?

Hi SatineB,

have u signed with Furama Riverfront???

Hi Chris,

Would recommend Furama Riverfront.
Their svc and perks are excellent.

I understand that hotels like Hilton, Four seasons etc are very steep for their perks...

Happy searching...

Hi net,

Yupyup i signed with them already. My coordinator's Halim and he's quite an accomodating and helpful person. They have new themes by another decorator and I've gone to see the setup for someone else's wedding few weeks ago. Quite nice.

Most imptly is, the price is reasonable and the food nice. No point paying so much for 5* and ppl complain abt the food at the end of the dinner. I always thot tt its impt to make sure our guests are full and happy. I've gone to some plcs where the plc looked fantastic but the food sux.. but cant rem where nw or can tell u girls..

One more impt thing to make sure is that free flow of beer is included in the perks cos that will be a killer at the end of the day. if u can get waiver of corkage, tt wld be better.

Chris, go check the plc out.. you'll like it.

 

[netfinity25]

Hi Satine,

When is ur AD??? and ur BS??? which ballroom??

How the new theme???

U have multiply?
mine is netfinity25

 

[satinebutterfly]

Hi net,

my AD is Jul 14 and BS is Universal Studios @ toa payoh. recommended by fren. Im taking the venus ballroom which holds up to 55 tables or so cos gt many tables.. plus i thk tt room is the nicest and u shd nt settle for anything less.. i thk min tables for tt room is 35.

basically the themes are the same but its by a different decorator this time. i've seen pics and 1 actual setup. u can have a choice of 2 themes mixed together, which i'll most prob be doing. only tt the stage setup can only allow 1 theme cos it'll be too messy.. but for the walkway to the stage u can mix 2 if u like. the decor is nt too tall tt ur guests wont be able to see u when u walk past (gd thing) play ard with stuff, ask if u can choose the colour of flowers according to ur theme. they're quite accomodating as i said earlier. just ask and u'll receive.

themes - crystal (my fav)
garden (considering this too)
pearl
oriental

i havent uploaded any pics on multiply. but mine is satinebutterfly.

Hi all,

Yes yes... I've chosen Intercon... haa... FInally!!!!

 

[bluedusk]

Yeapp me too.. Intercon rocks.. ok ok.. more specifically, Intercon's Ballroom rocks.

 

[moomooland]

hi gals,

yes interco ballroom is real nice...outta my budget though. so we chose Orchard Hotel, high ceiling with chandeliers and pillarless too

within our budget...which is most important...

 

[junjun]

just attended a wedding at Intercontinental hotel and i agree!!! the Intercontinental ballroom really nice!!! regret not taking it cos i dun meet the min requirement for table nos...sob sob....food not bad too!

[nana_nel]

Hi SatineB,

Would u mind sending me your package detail and also the person to contact?

[email protected]

Thanks!

 

[milc]

My AD is on 26 Dec 2009, sourcing for venues now. Number of attendees may hit 500 or more.

Heard many good reviews abt Intercontinental. Can the hotel accomodate the huge number?

Have also narrowed down the list of hotels that have pillarless ballrooms:

1. Orchard Hotel
2. Shang-gri La
3. Marina Mandarin
4. Oriental
5. Pan Pacific
6. York Hotel
7. Grand Copthorne Waterfront

Not sure if which one has high ceiling ballrooms though. Anyone can share their experiences with these hotels (most importantly ambience, whether pillarless and high ceiling, food)? Thanks!

I have placed a $2k deposit with Qian Xi Restaurant (Hilltop) for 35 tables at Crystal Ballroom. Pillarless and high ceiling. Very good PERKS. I have to postpone my wedding and I'm willing to let go at a discounted price.


I have fixed it at 7 dec 08. As I've placed the deposit early, I'm able to get a better price @ $568 per table.


Have a look:

Special Wedding Package:


1) Free Flow of Hard Liquor, Red Wine, Beer, Stout, Chinese Tea and Soft Drink (Hard Liquor and Red Wine for booking of 25 tables & above)

just to add on to chrizwendy's post; i called grand corpthorne waterfront when i was checkin out hotels for bq n i immed struck them off the list because the coordinator who answered teh phone was rude, n din call back when they promised to despite me calling a few times.

initially had wanted there cos my frens all said food was good... but to me svc is equally important.

 

[deerixp]

hmm.. i signed with GCW.. my co-ordinator is great. Prompt in replies.. maybe it's really who u meet and the timing..=)
