Lisa3005 & Queen:
as Hucklebeary what said in 2012 Thread,
"i sign up early this yr when they having their roadshow. The perks i think 2 nights stay and every table 1 red wine, 1 barrel beer."

I have the same package with her.. both of us are taking grand ballroom (with 3 pillars..

) but not on the exclusive floor as chances that there might be another event/wedding (vista room)

think package is quite standard & comprehensive liao..

Hi Everyone
Anyone sign up for the Hilton package after the wedding fair? Are they willing to extend the benefits for wedding fair to people who sign up now? Or is there any other additional perks that we can add on to the normal package now?
Am thinking of having my banquet at Hilton and trying to see what else i could add on. Appreciate your feedback.
Thanks!

lisa3005:

as what i shared my view on Hilton in my past post to jetwedding

think its depend on individual bah.. initial i'm bothered like you now.. but in term of package and & budget and capacity, min table is all within our needs & budget.. so my htb & me finally managed to convince ourself and our parents..

actually like what i share in 2012 BTB thread.. same thread with Shanna,
"every hotel has its own story for some 'incidents' in the past, be its wedding related or not.. it just happen that this case is the most recent cases and later follow by the bride's suicide and this is why parents have deep impression against it..

since this is your event,you are paying for dinner, and its within your budget, so just go with your heart.. "

if it really bother you, then i think better think carefully..

Hi i am a btb this oct n signed up with Hilton early this year too!

To me as long as both sides of immediate families have no objections, why not?

Like my dad says "if such things happened n people don't patronize it, it should have close down long ago!"

And moreover my mummy the pantang type has no objections too I was relieved n extremely elated! With the professionalism of the sales mgr, we r absolutely confident that we made the right choice! Though most of the things r non negotiable but what's more to negotiate for all the perks this 5 stars hotel is providing?

To me their story is a beautiful love story so there is nothing really to worry about. Only those ignorant and super superstitious people will gossip abt it. I think in this case most of the hotels cannot hold banquets already...

So far i dont find it a problem answering why we chose Hilton out of so many, I merely told them the truth that the date i want other hotels r fully booked n out of those few available, Hilton is the best choice! Centralized area, near mrt, so accessible n convenient, what more can I ask for? So far only a handful ask me. Maybe some didn't voice out to me straight cuz they r paisay but still there will be people gossiping I believe... It's really not within our control n needless to say I dont really care, cuz this is the best choice for us. I mean if you are seriously going to weigh everything that others comment or say, I think u may need another 2 to 3 yrs or even more before you can finalise the venue.
It's just like choosing apples. Some say red ones r better n those from japan r crunchier, some think likewise. Ultimately it's your choice. Should discuss with ur htb n both side of immediate families first at least respect the elderly opinions.
Sometimes it's better not to listen to too many cuz it confuses u. Otherwise your wedding will take forever to really happen.

What matters most is do u n ur other half care and if you are really bothered about those negative comments you better think thoroughly. It's a once a lifetime event, so proceed joyously n have no regrets.

Happy hotel hunting to those that have yet confirm one! N congrats to those whom have found their desired wedding banquet venue!

There well said MyDestinee... If we mind about all other people comments, then we will be able to even find a venue as everyone will have a different view for all the venue.

Just follow what you want and go for it.

audrey wang:
think most/all 5-stars hotels wedding perks are hard to get.. been to so many hotels.. think you can only get additional perks during wedding show..

you better secure your venue fast, be it Hilton or others.. cos Feb 2012 (less than 8mths), most places should be booked liao..

hi evelyn, have drop u a PM. =)

By the way, i read that there are some pillars for Grand Ballroom. will it hinder the views etc?
 

ginjean

New Member
hi da tou ling... i think its better that you schedule a appt with the wedding team and take a look at the ballroom...the pillars isnt exactly very small however they can place the tables in a way that your guest can still see the stage/projector screen. i think its really up to individual to decide if you are comfortable with the pillars

New Member
email just sent.. yes, there are 3 pillars in the grand ballroom.. but my htb & i think it ok as there will be 2 projector screen available.. but as what jean mentioned.. think a site visit will be better as who knows it might be a concern to u & ur htb..

Hi all, I've decided to go with Hilton cos June was accommodating with our requests
happy.gif


Just wanna check with brides who already held their banquets, if you have a Muslim friend, is it ok to add him to a table of 10 ppl? Will the table be too packed?

Thanks
happy.gif


@Evelyn- my coordinator at the wedding show told me they will not be changing the themes so soon!
sad.gif
I'm also hoping they can add more interesting themes!!

momo-san: welcome!! so ur wedding in Feb 12 at vista room..

as for me, having 11th pax for table is ok la.. just take note that do not place all the table of 11 in the same area/section.. cos it will be packed.. hard to move around for guest and server..

ya.. think theme is not a concern and i dun think i will top up for further deco..

queen: think exchange wine to beer should be ok bah.. maybe taking the smaller barrel (60 glass)

datouling: not a problem..

jean: are you a hilton btb too?

queen: i was "served" by the director of catering at the wedding show. i asked him the same qns on wine exchange for additional barrel of beer. he said ok cause to them, its the same. try asking your coordinator the same..i dont see why the coordinator will give you a different answer..haha :p

New Member
jean: i can understand how you feel.. even till the day for signing contract with June.. i still asking myself alot of questions esp the wedding date.. cos yet to consult/get approval from 3rd party, master etc..

yeah.. more & more joining here with us.. we have more to share and plan together..

momo-san: grand ballroom min 40 tables, maybe 40 bottles.. not sure how many bottles used for the exchange?

MyDestinee: knowning that you are Oct BTB this year.. so have June contact you on your food tasting or wedding favour? not sure how early will she contact us in advance? 3mths?

Oh! I'm in vista with only 16 tables, means I can only change a mini-mini barrel of beer! Hahaha.. think I'll just stick with my free wines then
happy.gif


Mydestiny: your AD in 2011 or 2012? The confirmation of themes one hr b4 lunch is quite funny. They will do up your table with the same theme for your food tasting?

Anyone has comments of yOvell? The company providing our wedding favors and other accessories??

My AD is 12 feb 2012, 8 months away and I'm already very excited!!
happy.gif
and I haven't even sign contract yet! Hahah! Nice to have other Hilton BTB get excited with me!! :D
