[shilo]

hi

anyone holds hyatt before? i find the package quite ex...not sure if can make if it is $975 per table

 

[ultimatemocha]

Hi Shilo

Is ur AD on weekdays or weekend? Weekend pricing for 2008 is abt slightly less than 1.1k (overall) excluding cockage etc

 

[shilo]

Hi Ultimate

thanks for reply. I got the pricing , but just wondering have u hold the banquet in Hyatt before? some advice needed on that...

I know weekday is cheaper but their perks also v good overall. Then if angpao can cover

 

[ultimatemocha]

No worries..i have booked my wedding with Hyatt to be held in Nov 08 period. Have placed deposit and gotten the pricing (overall) for one table so hope that can help.
Their perks is decent,wont say its fantastic cos they are rather strict..cant nego much unless u decide to forgo some stuff.

 

[shilo]

Hi Ultimate

My date was also Nov 08! But I chose on 11th Nov cos weekend is v expensive. But also afraid of attendance. Which room u chose? Did u pay more than $1K per table>

 

[ultimatemocha]

Hi Shilo

I only had 19 tbls so nt holding at the ballroom but at camelia room...cosy and intimate i presume..i wanted weekday but what to do, my father had a say in it as well...sigh..
yeap,had to pay slightly less than 1.1k for each tbl

 

[shilo]

hi ulimate

thanks for yr reply.
I saw camelia room but i didnt like it . Sorry but it is too old and dim. Why dun u take the Sir Stamford Rm...they cater for 200 guests., u juz have to add another 10 of yr frens...to make it 200.

r u going down to the bridal promotion at hyatt this sat?

 

[ultimatemocha]

cos my AD date is too popular and there were probs securing a good venue. Maybe diff perception,i like cosy and intimate settings (warm lights vs white lights sorta analogy). Did u see a real wedding setup when u went dwn? I saw a black and red theme with the petals strewn on the table,plus cute bows tied to each seat which made the whole place look rather classy...

 

[shilo]

hi ultimate

did u take any pics? which date is yours?

 

[bridethisyear]

hi shilo, is there a bridal promo taking place this sat? Do you have the details?

 

[shilo]

[shilo]

no, it is a wedding fair on booking wedding at hyatt, not bridal studio

 

[eternal_mates]

Hi everyone, I went down to Grand Hyatt for their bridal showcase today and I quite like their package and it still has the date I want (jun '09). Tried its food too and it is good! However the only minus point is that the magnolia + vanda rooms have pillars. The pillars are quite big actually. I dunno if guests will be put off by them but the catering manager actually told me that they will put 2 LCD tv to show a live telecast of what is happening on the stage for those ppl who are blocked. Anyone intending to book or has booked magnolia + vanda room?

 

[shilo]

hi Ling

i didnt like Magnolia/Vanca and even the camelia ballroom cos they have big pillars. Also their mosiac is black and very old. The lights arent attractive at all and it looks so old. plus it is black in color and very dim.

Sir Stamford Room is better

so did u sign up with them?

 

[bvlgari25]

I'm actually looking at 30-32 tables. And I do not want to max out the no. of tables in the Sir Stamford Room cos it might be very squeezy. So only magnolia/vanda rooms fit. Yah.. my FH also feels that the rooms look old and dim. Didn't sign up with them but got them to reserve for us for the time being as we might be exploring other hotels with pillarless ballrooms.

 

[shilo]

i see. thanks for sharing.
Ling, with 30-32 u can try Intercon hotel. More nicer and i think pillarless

how long hyatt can hold for u?

 

[bvlgari25]

Hyatt can hold 5 days for me. Today's the deadline and I'm finally going for it after much deliberation. Intercon is very ex esp on an auspicious date, and I heard that the service and food is not really worth the price. Anyway I'm just gonna play around with the layout of the tables to minimize blockage as I'm taking just the min no so I won't need all the space. Hopefully with the tables, they will "brighten" up the place. =)

Oh.. by the way Sir Stamford Room will be undergoing reno during Jun '09 that period.

 

[shilo]

Dear Ling

I wanted to have SRR also, but i was not told it undergo reno. But I know Hibiscus is. I dun like when I sign a contract I like to function room, then they go for reno, u know the feeling and rest are very different...also most of the sales will tell u they do not have the mock up layout for u to see

[bvlgari25]

I'm having my AD in jun '09. So initially wanted to change to SSR but the manager told me that it would be undergoing reno during that time. Think they are doing up the rooms one at a time. Anyway I checked ur earlier post you're having ur AD this nov right? so SSR will still be the same cos reno is next year. Katrina, the manager, emailed me the floorplan and layout of the tables for mag/van rooms without any hesitation. So I'm now able to plan where to place the tables to avoid the pillars =)

 

[shilo]

i didnt take up SSR cos find it a bit expensive for weekend, so took hilton in the end

 

[piupiugoh]

Hi,
Hyatt is one of the hotels that I have shortlisted.I'm meeting the Hyatt co-ordinator Marie, this fri.
Having a wedding lunch in June 2009, heard comments that Hyatt's food is not very gd, but nevertheless I'm going down to take a look coz I like their package the best so far..decent pricing too..
I find Intercont way too ex...

 

[shilo]

hi Piupiugoh

how much u pay for the hyatt lunch in 2009?

 

[piupiugoh]

$688 excluding taxes, so approx $805...I like its 2 night stay in their bridal suite and another one anniversary night stay.

I am also considering Fullerton and Marriot..

 

[shilo]

i find for lunch at that price is quite expensive...

 

[piupiugoh]

Hmm......but it's also an 8 course meal...
and the price is abt $700-$900 for all the hotels..
Panpac is near $800,Marriot is abt $750,fullerton abt $840,Chjimes is ex,$900+,Intercont also ex...
no choice is you want a hotel

The price will be near $1000 or above for dinner..

 

[verattraction]

I have got hyatt for my AD in Sept 2008 as well in Hibiscus room. They are kind and accomodating to our various requests and i cannot deny that i have quite a no of perks.

 

[piupiugoh]

But in the end, I took up Fullerton,coz I love that place too much....

 

[eternal_mates]

Hi Linda, may I know what sort of perks you got from Grand Hyatt?

 

[andie_luv2]

hi,

i wish to have my WD in hyatt too in nov 2009..haben been able to go down and see..but jus to check with u guys whether is there any piliarless room in hyatt?? and how will be the cost like for weekday dinner for abt 38 tables?

thankz

 

[namipandora]

i thought the Grand Ballroom is pillarless only at the sides? not in the center of the room.

By the way, anyone tried their food? How's the standard? is it really better than other places?

Oh, and which is the Sir Stamford Room? below the Grandballroom level?

 

[ednix]

Will be going to the Hyatt Wedding Show this coming Sat. Was wondering what could we ask for perks in addition to their existing package?

Need some advise.. Hehe.. Am actually doing the planning for my brother & sis-in-law...

Thanks in advance!

 

[shilo]

Hi Ednix

yes heard abt it. But u think it is expensive package?> when u looking and weekday or weekend?

 

[ednix]

Hi, Im actually looking at 8 Dec which is a Monday for dinner.

I think Hyatt is good in regards to the corkage, but what they offer in the package doesn't seem quite comprehensive. Only 1 LCD is provided & can only choose that between beer. Which is both required... Hmmm....

 

[shilo]

hi Ednix

thought they have some wishes for u to chose? u can chose wine from there right? 8 dec is 2008 or 09?

how many table u looking at and which function room u prefer?

 

[kenixlohz]

Hi Ocean Claudia,

Yah, they did have a list to choose from...

Think will add in from there ba.. Hehe...

Its for my brother's wedding, Im doing the coordinating.. Haha.. 8 Dec 2008. Think its a Public Holiday oso...

Hopefully can get more perks on Sat...

How about you? What date are you looking at?

 

[shilo]

im looking at 08 Nov this year. Thought 08 Dec 08 shd be fully booked right>? cos it is a double date

Sat quite expensive, More than SGD 1K. 08 dec is not a Sat, r u aware?

which function room u be taking>?

 

[ednix]

We've got the booking for 08 Dec 08 already, gotta pay the deposit latest by Sat. Its a Monday... But also a Public Holiday (Hari Raya Haji) Hehe...

Will be taking the grand ballroom...
