Kite,
Your pics are really useful. They are lovely. Thanks.
Wonder whether I can request for Biz Suite instead of Bridal Suite since there is no dressing table.
misschindia,
That's so thoughtful of u.
lilacblur,
What is BR? Ballroom? My comments is grand, beautiful and lovely. High ceiling, pillarless, rectangular. What else to ask for.
It is more of colony style I feel.
P.S VERY GLAD that this thread is alive again!!

Hi Lilacblur,
Agree with Bluegrapes... the ballroom is really beautiful... very grand! There is also a nice big and rather private area for guests to mingle during the cocktail.
Yes you select dishes up to the cost of your package... for example is you take up the weekend package for 788, you can select 8/9 dishes that add up to $788.
This is one of the more unique features of the Intercon package as everyone will have different menu based on personal preferences. so far I only know Sheraton has a similar package. Most places have fixed menu.

Hi simano, my dinner is just next month!!! I dun know what is the present offers for Intercon, cos i booked mine last year and the perks may be different. Maybe you can negotiate for things like extra wine corkage waiver, extra invitation cards, extra parking coupons for guests, upgrade to a better suite, more beer etc. These are normally the standard things couples negotiate for. An earlier posting by Bluegrapes showed the perks which she received, i think it's pretty good! When is your AD? Which other hotels are you looking at?

Hi Jen, when I last spoke to Adeline she mentioned that she is the only wedding coordinator at Intercon. When is your AD??
Hi chercat, Wow next month?!! You must be really excited by now. Hope that all goes well..

Hi Jen, i spoke to her when I signed my contract last month. Maybe you should give a call to find out. Anyway don't worry as long as all your perks are listed in the contract the hotel has to honour them. Changing of the coordinator should not pose too much of a problem.
If there really is a change, you may wish to call Adeline and touch base. She seems very professional and experienced so dont get stressed out ok?

tallked to her, she sounds experience n looks very professional but none of e ppl there uses her services or have her as yr coor. so just worried.
Did voice to her abt it (changing of coor.) she is also kind of surprise by it but she said to give her a chance n if we still not comfort she is happy to get her colleague to take over.
Cos we will only get together 3 months b4 e AD right??
me thinking of arranging for my videographer n hotel coor. to meet at e hotel so dat all involve will be info on e AD events... Do u think is ok??

Hi simano,
HI has high ceiling, no pillar blockage n LONG aisle. The long aisle n pillarless hall were the deciding factors that made me eventually choose HI. As for min tables, depending on whether your dinner is a weekday or weekend one. I think if it's a weekend, they may require >30 tables. Pls check with Adeline.
Deposit for HI is $5K and i paid by credit card. No worries, this is not a personal question.
Funny though, i m not too gan cheong about my AD. In fact i realized that alot of little details have yet to be worked out. But it's ok lah, taking each day at a time. Cross the bridge when I come to it. Haha!

among the hotels you mentioned, only considered Traders... one of my friends having at Oriental, so dun wanna have it at the same place..
I think HI is more convenient and their package quite reasonable
if can, i will also shortlist Sheraton

Hi Little_ger,
I should be using the piano.. but perhaps during the cocktail in the foyer, not in the ballroom.
Think that your idea of getting your friend to play the march-in music is very meaningful
How many tables will you be having? If you are not filling up the ballroom then you prob can still retain a larger stage.

Hi Chercat,
Good to hear that you are taking things easy cuz a relaxed bride is a beautiful bride. Just assign a good friend to handle all the headaches for you.. then you can just concentrate on smiling and mingling with your guests
Lilacblur - No need to be paiseh about asking for appt cuz its their job to entertain you. Just call and say that you want to make an appt, they will be happy to meet you. If not, just email.. and they should respond. Think Michelle is Adeline's assistant.
Bluegrapes- Have you decided what wine to serve?

Slimmy, i know what you mean, always got the voicemail thing right? me too... got to keep trying
misschindia, i think maybe because mine is 2006, so maybe they not so interested to entertain me? cause usually when i call to enquire with other hotels, they will ask if i wanna make appointment for viewing... but for HI.. they din mention anything. seems to me that they not interested to make business
is it always like this? or maybe i am over-sensitive?

hi lilacblur,
maybe u can try at a later date. when i booked intercon in Jun 04 for my AD in nov 05, they did not have the package for 2005. it could be that it is too early for booking or maybe the package for 2006 is not ready yet.
if you wan to view the ballroom, you can always go during the weekends when there's a wedding going on... dun have to make an appt to view the ballroom.
