Hi I'm a June BTB. I'm considering Marriott, Hilton and Swiss. Initially wanted Pickering but max 30 tables, so had to reject that. Any idea about these 3 hotels?
Hello! Just attended a wedding in Marriott a few weeks back and Hilton was on my to-visit list when we were hunting for venues.
Marriott Tangs:
The food is really good. The ballroom is nice and they have a wide variety of themes. We didn't their min table count so didn't shortlist this as one of the venues.
Hilton:
Our table count is small so we only qualified for the Vista Room which I wasn't very fond of because the reception area is right next to the ballroom's (and given ballroom size, the guest count will definitely overpower that of the Vista Room's so I wasn't keen). Your table count should get the main ballroom which just got renovated in Oct 2016. The coordinator is very very friendly (Grace Yeow) and she's quite flexible with perks. Most importantly, the team was prompt in replies. They are priced quite competitively even with the new ballrooms. If you can get the main ballroom it's a pretty good deal. Only downside that I can think of is I don't really like their new themes.
Hope this helps! And gratz on the upcoming wedding!
Hey hey!
Thanks for the tips they are really helpful!!! I will go check out Hilton. I heard they recently renovated and it looks grand.
Also congrats too on your wedding!! Have you decided on other things like PWS?
Hilton have a wedding show coming up I think (remember seeing it somewhere in the Singapore Brides Event page) - I'm sure can get better perks during the show.
Thank you! Well not yet. We kinda got lazy after settling the venue hahaha. Probably need to start hunting bridal studios soon! Not thinking of a formal PWS though... we are considering a casual one. What about you?

Hi there,
Just wondering what's Marriott min table count? Interested in them too.
Side track abit... Hows your sourcing for bridal?
Hi there.
I went to Master You Long Zi. Have my date calculated, June 2018. I have a few days to consider.
Pre-wedding Photoshoot - decided
Hotel & AD - still looking around
Duno where to start from yet too! Any suggestions?
Yes. I do have a date in hand that I'm considering, which is 30th June, about 30tables.. budget within 30k for about 30 tables, possible? Actually was considering York hotel but does not know how is the hotel for wedding? I use to go to the hotel Yearly for their Penang food fare only.Congrattsssssss! Start with budget and table count hahaha so it can give you a feel which hotels falls into your criteria too. Best is also to have a selected date already so it's alot easier to shortlist hotels too
Hi there. Finally fix a date after much consideration. Hope I'm not alone.
Creating this for infor sharing. ; )
Am I the only 2018 here???
Lol
Hello... Can I have master Long contact's please? My email is [email protected]Hi SWLE, when I was sourcing for masters, 2 names kept coming up and they are Master Tong and Master Long. Master Tong is easier to reach out to as he has a website and an email address. Most of the communication can be done via email (according to my friends who engaged him for their wedding dates).
Master Long is older and you will need to drop him a call first and he will request for information via SMS. You will then arrange for a date with him to meet him at his home in Woodlands. We opted for Master Long in the end because our parents wanted someone older, and he provides up to 3 years' worth of dates so it's a lot more flexible when it comes to booking banquet venues and dates.
If anyone wants Master Long's contact details, I can list it here
Hope this helps!

Hi all! I'm a jan 2018 bride Any AD PG/VG to recommend?
You can try contacting the JP but most of them probably gonna say it's too early so they won't confirm anything. Some of the JP license will expire this year and they may or may not renew that's why cannot confirm anything as well.Hi, can I check when do we source for JP? Is sourcing now very kiasu??

I remember some BTB in this forum said they will only confirm 3 months before the date.
Am gonna be a June 2018 BTB!
gulps, looking at the forum , I seem way behind in planning..
We've only just started with the hotels, and checked out Andaz, Shangri-La & Fullerton Bay for now.
No worries, still have ard 11mths to go..but.if yr date is a "hot" date then you better faster shortlist n book yr venue as u will be surprise there r many ppl who book venue very early...
Hello !Hi everyone! Anyone having their wedding outside hotels? I'm registering for some of the upcoming wedding showcase, any recommendations?
This thread is so quiet! Hahaha. Any updates from any june 2018 btb?
Anyone doing luncheon and solemnization on same day? Would be great if anyone can share schedule!
Ahhh thanks for sharing! we are thinking of around the same timeline as u haha but we got gatecrash (prob do a small short one and make him sing but no funny food/games). Guess theres less variation in timing to play with for lunch.I am! As of now rough schedule is 11am solemnisation, 11.30am tea ceremony, 12.45-1pm lunch banquet starts. No gatecrash so we will head to the hotel at 9.45am.

Hows your prep going?
Quite similar to your progress!I have booked venue, mua for myself and mums and pg. That's all! You?
Will you be squeezing out time to do photoshoot before solemnisation? Or after banquet? I am thinking of whether to do one..
Quite similar to your progress!
I've booked venue, bridal studio (for AD gowns and MUA but may end up using for mums instead...lol), PG,VG and photobooth!
Haven invite bridesmaids yet!
We are thinking of doing it post gatecrash and on way to hotel - the photoshoot i mean haha. Tts why thinking of doing a really short gatecrash just for the mood then move on to other stuff haha.
Which MUA did u engage for ur bridal makeup?if u are ok to share
I see. We havent exactly plan out the schedule yet but will prob do gatecrash like 730am timing to maximize the time inbetween haha.Ic! I already booked my makeup to be ready by 9.30am so theres no time to do photoshoot before solemnisation. Need to be at the hotel by 10.15-10.30am. Maybe gonna just take a few shots around/nearby the hotel after the banquet. I engaged Christine Chia.

Wow Christine's portfolio is very very nice! Im still shopping ard.. undecided haha. Its really nor easy to choose! Anything i shld look out for when looking for MUA?
Omg 3 hrs! Its gg to be so amazing!Oic! If it is 7.30am, gotta start makeup latest 5.30am (for most MUAs). But Christine's lead time is 3 hours. I heard she's very meticulous
Perhaps you should start planning the schedule and book MUA asap to avoid disappointment. Your AD is 23 June right? Its a hot date!
How much u engage VG for ADHello and welcome to the thread! I engaged Momentold Productions for VG - rates are decent and you get 2 VGs. I'm still looking for PGs! Haha
Me also 2 jun. But beem busy with my new home that i have no time for planning our banquet .Hi All!
