Hilton Hotel

[audrey21]

Hey babes, anyone has pictures of the wedding cards they provide? I went to the yovell website, but they do not show the cards! I wanna see what patterns they have cos I'm thinking of designing my own!

Also, did anyone tried negotiating the favors? Angbao box change to ring pillow or something like tt?

Thanks

 

[mydestinee]

Hi all i just went for food tasting n it was all great! There are approx. 6 to 8 designs to choose from, can't recall exact no. of designs. I ve taken 2 photos of the card designs that we are considering. If you want, maybe u can drop me an email so I can send to you because I can't seem to attach here using iPhone.

For ring pillow perhaps you can check with June or Rachel if they can loan to u. Cuz I requested for 2 Ang bao boxes that have to return after the wedding banquet.

 

[audrey21]

Could you send it to [email protected]!

Thanks thanks

Just wanna share my experience with Hilton so far (thought my wedding coordinator deserve 2 thumbs up from me).

My AD is on 20 Nov, Sunday and will be holding banquet at Hilton's Vista room. Before I began, please don’t mistake me as some ghost writer! I truly want to share my thoughts and experience with all BTB because I understand how impt it is to share information and enable things go smoothly along the way.

My communication with June Wee so far has been really smooth and she has been extremely helpful with all my nitty gritty demands. Well.. all BTB sure will be fussy with their bigday! Though I am still in the process of planning for my AD, I just wanna compliment her for all the fast response and agreement to my many requests!

Went for my food tasting ytd, the service is really one of the best I've experienced. I know how ppl always say that food tasting is always far from the AD service, but at least my family n in laws were really happy with what they tasted and experience so far.

Not that my expectation is low, but whatever June has done for me, it’s really more than what I have expected thus far.

Really hope the BTB will have a chance to be served by her.

Praying hard that everything will go smoothly from now till my AD. All the best to all BTB!!

Just my 2 cents worth.

Just went for my food tasting and the food was fantastic.. Just did minor amendment for the vegetarian food menu..

 

[ginjean]

hello clara, are you taking all vegetarian or only some? if you're only taking some, do you need to pay extra to try out the vegetarian menu?

 

[larac]

I only took 3 vegetarian.. Food tasting i have 10+1 and i did not pay any $$ for the extra vegetarian food. Remember to try out the wine too.

Hi fallinone,
ur date is a hot date, any additional charge for that day? is all hilton wedding banquet venues full too?

i also PM u my contact.. think long time din login here le..

Other hilton btbs:
how everyone preparation? me just settle my AD MUA & AD Gown.. so AD banquet and TW PS settle too..
left with animation montage, AD PG (not getting VG), wedding car (too early to secure now).. plan to get my KUA, traditional wear from TaoBao.com, including embroidered shoes etc.. quite a good lobang.. cos House of Etiquette quote me at least $250 for rental only.. haha..

 

[fallinone]

Hi Evelyn,

Is ur email 2501? I will reply shortly!

No additional charges but I need to choose weekend menu B1/B2.

Thank God I secure since last year, from what I know, there is no more ballroom available for 20 Nov oredi.. cuz I wanna change to Grand Ballroom but its too late..

sounds like u do a ala carte system for ur wedding day prep, instead of the bridal package.
If u wanna have VG at a lower cost, I suggest using Montage Guy.

He is pretty good, my sister use him as her VG and I like his work. Have engaged him on 20 Nov. hehe..

How much does ur animation montage cause and who u engage? How anout ur AD PG?

 

[audrey21]

hey fallinone,

mind sharing how much montage guy quote you?

I'm looking for AD PG and VG now.
VG and PG: thinking of choosing ala-carte, but alot of VG don't wanna do express highlights for me cos I'm doing wedding lunch and most of them say the timing is too tight.

BS: SG Bridal in JB
AD MUA: Ivy
Car: own car
Bridesmaid dress: kindofwonderful
Rings: eclarity
Favors: yovell (provided by Hilton)

How about you ladies?

 

[fallinone]

Hi Momo,

Coincidentally, I am also using KOW for my bridesmaid dresses. Convertible dress rocks!

[yuki84]

Can someone share the design of the wedding cards?
Thanks.

[email protected]

 

[aobbneyg]

hihi,

I will be going to Hilton hotel for site inspection.

Wondering if June or Rachel are better? Who is more flexible?

And any other things to look out for?

Anyone has the photos of the ballrooms and the bridal suite? Can email me at [email protected].

Thanks.

 

[binary]

u need to confirm how many tables u need and view the right venue, ballroom and even function for your ROM if you are doing it on the same day..

think June is more senior than Rachel.. and htb and i are confortable with her..

hilton package can consider quite a deal le as compare with others 5 stars hotel.. think not much to nego..

most item we want have already listed in their wedding show package.. have u get a copy from them? or have they release their latest pricing..

 

[aobbneyg]

thanks evelyn for the reply..

i think i will go ahead with June since Rachel is on leave.

they emailed me a copy of their package and i find that the prices are very reasonable with the nett amount for a 5 star hotel.

previously, i went to Furama riverfront and Holiday inn orchard..they are offering at abt this prices too.

So more or less, i will be going for Hilton.

Their are the cheapest among 5 stars hotel..

 

[ginjean]

I signed up with them because of the very reasonable price+5 star hotel+food quality combination. June's service blew me away too (i cannot stop raving about her service). Abbey you're signing up via the September wedding show? Can share what is the freebies?

 

[aobbneyg]

hello jean..

i met June this evening. Her service wise..i would say it's not the best that i had met before. Also maybe she was already quite tired by 7.30pm. But she's still very friendly.

May i know when's your wedding? I just booked my dates with her for tentative bookings. Will confirmed by Monday. Chances are very high.

I really love the Grand ballroom but i do not have enough of 40 tables for weekends. So im taking the Vista ballroom.

The add on for the wedding show as per following for weekend dinner:
1) cash rebates
2) additional nights for bridal suite
3) 1 bottle of red wine each table
4) 2 LCD projector

the headache part for me is my friends drink lots, so she couldn't give me the extra barrel of 30L beer..might have to top up..

I really got no idea about the food? anyone got comments about the food quality?

For a 5 star hotel, the price are very reasonable..

 

[mydestinee]

Hi Abbey, for food wise, I can only say it's excellent!

 

[aobbneyg]

oh great! im glad to hear that..coz the elders based alot on food..

but well..we can't satisfy everyone..

even if we tasted it and find it not bad..some guest might find it otherwise..

 

[ginjean]

hello abbey, you can actually swop the complimentary red wine for another barrel of beer (thats what i did). i think its 15 bottles of wine for another barrel of beer. you can get some consignment wine from some vendors outside to standby..my wedding is on 12th aug, sunday. so the minimum for grand ballroom is only 30 tables if i remember correctly..

 

[sianzting]

Hi Abbey

Can you send me a copy of their pricing package?
My email address is [email protected]

Thank you.

 

[vivazza]

Do people drink more beer or wine at weddings? I am also in a dilemma to choose btwn more wine or more beer.

 

[lace2009]

hi Brides!

Have anyone held their wedding in Aug or this Sep already? haha.. Its nearing mine (Nov) now.. just tot I can get some advices/ feedbacks of Hilton wedding banquet experience! =)

BTW; anyone know how to apply for the licence to play your montage ?

 

[mysotic]

Hi,

Can send me the pricing for ref?

[email protected]

 

[aobbneyg]

hi Jean,

Did they waive off corkage charges for your wine?

And today, she just called me telling me that if i want an additional deluxe room on 29th Sept 2012, which clash with the F1 dates, i have to pay more than 600plus++ for that deluxe room...i nearly fainted when i heard that..

Yiting and mysotic, i will send you the package price soon..something is wrong with the email now..

 

[binary]

sorry can send me a copy? evelyn2501[@]gmail.com..

think its like tat for all hotel during F1 certain days before start and certain days after event end

for montage ur VG should settle for u unless u DIY ..hotel should also have a list of songs.. so either mute ur cd and play their songs

 

[aobbneyg]

Hi Yiting and mysotic,

i had sent the prices to your email.
