Hello All,
This is my 1st ever post since I have been reading the singapore bride forum quite long ago.

I am also the M hotel banquet suite bride to be. I have been searching my wedding venue for half a yr, visit many hotels and finally found my ideal wedding place after visited M hotel open house.

I would like to share with you the reason for choosing M hotel:
1) Ideal venue for 250 people or less-> there is very few nice hotels that agree for 250 people or less booking. Previously I really like Intercontinental but they insist on min 27 table and only weekday. And the price is ~980 per table for weekday and the weekday menu is not good too
2) The banquet suite is very nice. I have never interested in M hotel previously because there is not much news on this hotel banquet. When people talking about wedding, usually the venue is marina area, cityhall or orchard. Thus when I 1st started my search i have targetting this area.. Until M hotel open house which is free of charge and Me and my husband to be just drop by and see..and we are very puzzle why there is not much people mention about M hotel which have such a nice banquet venue.
- A private wedding function with the whole floor for your wedding.
- An enlarged foyer for the wedding couple which can do solemization too
- Very nice and cozy banquet suit (you should drop by and see the actual wedding set up!)
- A VIP room at the foyer which allow the bride to change gown/rest there. But I feel that the biggest plus point is you can allow your close friends and close relative to come in and chat with you /take photos. ( usually during wedding can hardly get in touch with the bride who only appear in banquet two times haha)
- The banquet package is really attractive. I have chosen the weekend dinner. For the same price else where most probably can only get a weekday dinner ( with similar " standard" of banquet). My Mum and in law are very happy that we can get a weekend dinner so relatives from malaysia can come more conveniently. With the weekend menu, we can have baby abalone too.. and won feel very xia4 sui1 people will comment the dishes not attractive
- The coordinator Simon is really helpful and accommodating. After the open house, I have decided to meet the wedding coordinator. I have come to this forum and check up which coordinator is more popular.. and found out simon is. and Indeed, he is nice and we are really appreciate every small little thing he has done for us. So I encourage for those who have not select the wedding coordinator, may be you can meet up with Simon.
- Lastly, the service provided by M hotel is really warm. We have visited cafe2000 for dinner buffet and their service team is excellent (food is very nice too)
- Actually I am confidence that M hotel will become a popular wedding venue if more people know about this place. Maybe in future perks will give less if more people select this venue so must hurry up and sign!

Above is all my personal opinion….

Dear Maycat

thank you for yr time in writing

I am also now considering M after viewing last week. Am also impressed by the ballroom. I totally agreed with what u write. I also went to several hotels ( including Intercon) but most are expensive...

my concern is, mine is a Fri. Will ERP affect the guests? also how u view abt the suite room with jacuzzi?

Hello Ocean claudia,

Actually, me and my hubby always meet Simon ( the coordinator) around 7.30pm on weekday to avoid the ERP. My hubby did comment that around M hotel have several gantries and he scare of any wrong turn will result in paying more gantries.. so you have to take note or ask M hotel wedding coordinator how to guild the guest to avoid miss turn or what..

about the suite room i have no concern since if you really compare, other hotels may give bigger and nicer suite ( heard that intercon provide suite that is equal to 5 room flat size).. so i can only say M hotel suite room is okie..

Hi grace,

Have you visited M hotel? is no, I think you have to really go to M hotel yourself and feel the venue.. I once like you went to check on forum and everyone in the forum is saying how nice is the hotel X and when i really went to that hotel and i am very disappointed.. so the bottom point is everyone have different views!! and believe in yourself only!

Hi Tony Tay,

You are lucky! I read from this forum, he is very nice. Did he gave you extra perks?

Just wondering if I can go and discuss with my coordinator but don't sign up immediately?

Hi EuGo,

You can always meet up with any Coordinator and then after sometime then sign up with them.
For my case, i met up Simon during Jan then we wait till the road show then sign up.

Hi AD080809,

Thanks. But can i sign-up with other coordinator if i don't feel comfortable with the one i met?

For the meet up, normally we will be talking about the wedding package? Will we be given the time to consider? When do we need to pay for the deposit?

Hi EuGo,

For changing of Coordinator should be ok bah. But so far i feel that Simon is not bad.

For meeting up you all will be taking about the wedding package and you can request to view both the ballroom and suite. After meeting, you can always tell the person that you need some time to think about it. That shouldn't be a problem. The problem is that if your date is asked by another couple then you will need to make booking earlier.
When you all confirm the hotel then u will need to pay the deposit and sign the agreement letter mayb like 2 to 3 weeks later.
So actually after meeting up, you can go home discuss with your partner. Then if you all really like the Hotel, call up the coordinator to block the date you want and arrange an appointment to pay the deposit.
Actually during the meeting, you can ask the coordinator if they can block the date you want and you will consider. So when there is another couple want the same date as you, the coorinator will call you up to ask if you want to pay deposit as another couple is asking the same date as you.

Hope this is clear.

Hi AD080809 (yew),

I got you. Thanks alot. Actually I wanted to meet Simon.. but he is out-of-office and will only be back next week. Therefore our meet-up is being assigned to another coordinator. That's why I wanted to know if I can meet one coordinator and sign-up with the other one. Thanks for answering my queries.

Hi Eugo,

Simon is ok, our AD is on 14 June 09.

When we went hunting for our hotel. Only those tha we are keen, we will ask the coordinator for extra perks. But of coz we always end off telling him that we need time to reonsider. Upon confirming that you wish to take up with them, than you start the second round of bargaining.

hi AD080809,

I have not meet up simon yet. initially want to meet him this sat, but he said he cant..
ask me to meet him on weekday instead..

Hi Grace,

For location, personally still think is ok. If you really think that the MRT station is too far, you can provide bus service for your guests. That is my planning also.

Hi Tony,

can share do you get any extra perks from Simon?

HI Emily,

Think you can always call simon up and arrange a timing that suit both of you.

I believe that Simon will cater the perks to individual needs. So best if you all can check with him. He is direct and accomodating so it should be fine. cheers

One thing abt M hotel thou is that there is no Muis approved halah food. only special prepared food without pork/lard. For you guys to consider. Some of our Malay friends dun mind. Some do.

Hi Ocean

Have you seen the seaview suite? So there is a door separating the living room and the bedroom? DO you know how much to topup?

I signed up with The Wedding Present and my pre-wedding photographer is Jon Lim. Abit kiasu since my AD is next yr. But try to settle the packages before price hike again

I am a M hotel b2b too! my date is Dec 08.

Many people haven't heard of M hotel, which i guess is a good thing because then the prices are more reasonable for us! if alot of people book, then the prices will be very expensive.

I told 1 of my colleagues who was looking for a hotel, but she insisted on wanting Marina/ City hall area.. i get the feeling she feels that M hotel is a bit "cheap" (not those big grand hotel by orchard, city hall area). that dampened my mood abit.

Hi Sandy & Gabrielle

Sandy - yes, door separating living room and suite room top up $100++ per room night. But I feel more on PSA view for containeers and cranes than seaview.

What is Wedding Present?

Gabrielle - Dun bother what others say, I would say yr colleague is ignorant in the hotel in Singapore. Many hotels outside Orchard and City Hall are nice also, compared to those at Orchard , some of many are old buildings. Out of Orchard good hotels are M, Fullerton, Grand Copthorn Waterfront.

I like the ballroom of M. It is better than any other Orchard Rd or City Hall hotels...

Hi Gabrielle,

I agree with what Ocean said. I went to most of the hotel ballroom in city area. Some of the ballroom the celling is very long, the shape of the ballroom is very funny or not the ballroom itself is very old. Not even that, some of their suite cannot make it. EX does not mean good.
At least M Hotel everything is avg. The ballroom ceilling is not very low, best thing is that the suite is very nice.

hi all,

i have made appointment with Simon to check out the hotel and package on 17/5. Waiting to see the very nice suite which i have been reading in this thread. Will like to take Banquet Suite if we decide on M Hotel....

the other hotel that I m considering is Grand Copthorne Waterfront....

Gabrielle > I agree w ocean's comments....don have to take to heart others' comments...i think M Hotel is nice, certainly not a cheap hotel...in fact, i think Amara and M Hotel are v nice hotels outside the marina/orchard area....my sister held her wedding at Amara a few yrs ago - turnout was good, food and atmosphere also good...

ya just trying to ignore those people. am quite happy with M hotel's service and ballroom so far. it was a very practical decision - the whole 10th floor, the foyer, the suite, everything was lovely compared to swissotel, PP, that i saw.

did any of you bargain anything with M?
