M Hotel Singapore

[cjeb3]

Hi June, thanks for your reply.. =) It's just too bad cos mine will be held in anson room.. The lavender theme looks really nice..

 

[minizhu]

ya, it looks kinda nice. but some parents mind the black coloured seats. my mum was sorta commenting about it

 

[zanissa]

same same - my mum is totally against the black seats...

 

[zee_e]

how about use red seats for the VIP table (where the parents are sitting) and stick to the classy black for the rest of the seats?

 

[minizhu]

that will look a bit weird right? 'cos the table cloth for the lavender theme is silver wor. and the hanky is purple for VIP (and BLACK for the rest). anyway, does m hotel have red seats?

 

[zee_e]

pink seats then. haa ..
silver/purple/pink

so far i've only seen black and cream color seat covers. but you can try to request for red or pink ribbons to be tied around the seats to reduce the "black" effect? probably need abit of extra cost only.

 

[mintymin]

iirc it cost around $2 per ribbon per seat.. but can choose to tie alternate seats to save cost

 

[moonbell]

aiyo..
i emailed them, no reply.. called them, no answer.. =(

 

[miki_ham]

Hi peeps, am quite interested in their package, but i was wondering when they put like $688++. what will be their nett price like?

 

[miomio]

the ++ will be the 10% service charges and 7% GST.

 

[moonbell]

Finally managed to get a reply from them... meeting Evangeline on nxt sun...

Hi all!

I'm most probably going to join all of you in holding my wedding dinner at M Hotel!

Both my hubby and I were quite happy after looking at the Banquet Suite and the exquisite changing room that's beside the ballroom. Thought that's quite a good touch for the bride and groom to have the convenience to change without going back to the their suite. Since that day when we meet up with Eugene there was a wedding dinner for that night, the ballroom was having a layout of 27 tables which we thought is quite a nice fit since we are looking at 25 tables.

Initially we wanted to wait until their next wedding show before signing with them so we placed a tentative booking for our date. Well, turned out yesterday Evangeline called my hubby to say a couple is interested in M Hotel for the same date so we have no choice but have to confirm our date.

Will be meeting Eugene next Thursday to discuss and most probably signing the contract! Just want to find out from all of you, is it tough to get them to waive the corkage charge? I don't really know what else to bargain for except for the wine corkage.

Thanks in advance!

 

[minizhu]

waive the corkage charge? hmm... do you want to consider bargaining with them on the free flow of wine instead?

 

[piggeekgirl]

Hm... 'Cos I thought waiver of corkage charge is easier to bargain for than free flow wine. Hahaha! Of 'cos free flow wine will be best but there's no bargaining chip to bargain for free flow? Hehez.

 

[minizhu]

oh icic, well, you can try

 

[cinful]

hi! any feedback for wedding in M hotel recently.. ?

Joining this thread as a future M Hotel BTB!

Just signed the wedding confirmation form yesterday with Eugene! Hehez.

[piggeekgirl]

Evangeline Doong
DID: 65006216
email: [email protected]

They didn't give her mobile phone number though. Hope that helps!

Hey Pika, some of my friends also have good feedbacks of M Hotel. So looking forward to planning for my wedding there next year!

 

[kaori80]

good feed back??then hope u all not disappointed GOOD LUCK

 

[piggeekgirl]

Sir Lex, you made it sound like M Hotel is not good? Is there anything that is wrong with M Hotel?

 

[kaori80]

hope u think wat u get...

 

[maimuki]

Hi! What is the min tables for M hotel? I am actually looking at 25-30 tables. Heard from my frd tt their food and ambience are good. Anyone can share your experience to me?

 

[maimuki]

forget something, anyone can share with the theme of the ballroom? you can email me @ [email protected]

 

[piggeekgirl]

Hi maimuki, the minimum number of tables for M Hotel is as follows:

Weekday Min 20 tables Max 32 tables
Weekend Min 25 tables Max 32 tables

This is true for both the Anson Room and the Banquet Suite packages. For more details of the pricing and all, you can check out the PDF files that are posted here >>
http://www.singaporebrides.com/hotels/m_hotel/

As for the food I can't really comment since I have not tried their food before at wedding dinners so hopefully someone else can share or maybe try reading through the forum for more feedback. But I don't seemed to read much really bad feedback? That's the feeling I got after reading some pages here. As for the ambience, I must say my hubby and I quite like it after making a visit to M Hotel to see a wedding setup the day we met Eugene for an appointment. We both feel the best fit is maybe around 25-27 tables at max for more comfortable walking space and all.

Maybe I can send you some photos of the theme of the ballroom when I get back home 'cos we went to the previous wedding show and took some photos of the theme setup. Alternatively, you can make an appointment with one of the M Hotel wedding co-ordinator to best find out and get a feel of the place. Thought that might be the best way to know 'bout the venue.

Hope this helps!

Sir Lex,

Did you encounter anything unhappy during your wedding? think ur dinner should be over already..

Maybe you can share so that others will know what to look out for?

 

[e7211]

hi everyone,

Can someone here share some information to me regards to the Anson room if it has a low ceiling ?

As the actual banquet room is booked when I decide to confirm with M hotel so my hubby and I just book it as our wedding will be in Oct this year and too late to make changes.

By the way what theme is nice for lunch wedding?

Thanks Ya.

 

[piggeekgirl]

Hi Nat, the ceiling for the Anson Room is sort of low ceiling just like a conference room.

Actually why not make a trip down to M Hotel to have a look and then decide on the theme too? I'm sure your co-ordinator will be more than willing to help you with that, so you have a better idea of what theme fits your wedding lunch.

 

[purple_l0ve]

hello ladies,

any idea if there will be any wedding show comin up for M hotel?

 

[piggeekgirl]

Hi sheyanne, from what Eugene told us that time, it seems like they had postponed their July one to October. Might not exactly be confirmed, but that's what he told us. Hope that helps!

 

[maimuki]

Hi Kat..I rcd ur pictures..thk u so much..so far looking at the theme, I quite like it..i juz email the manager and there will another wedding show coming Oct..i have frds who attend the banquet, they said tt e food is quite gd and the room is spacious..not sure yet as i personally never been before

 

[piggeekgirl]

Hi maimuki! No problem at all! The purple theme is their new theme anyway.

Actually if you're planning for your wedding for next year, it's good to try to take a look around all hotels and confirm soon since my AD is next October and the date I want has already been booked in a lot of hotels. Eugene told us the last quarter of 2011 is being enquired quite often now also.

So if you're interested, can just make an appointment with M Hotel and make a trip down to see if you like the place. There's not strings attached to have a look!

 

[angiee]

Hi Kat,
Can you share the photos with me as well? Thanks!

[email protected]

 

[jol_eeyha]

Any comments on the food? Thinking what to choose for food tasting.. advise on the meat, seafood, noodles/rice & dessert?

Thanks.

[jeffreyl]

Anyone held wedding @ M Hotel the one @ 10th floor is i am not wrong(not the second floor one). ?
Any feedback on the food quality and the ballroom?
thx!

 

[cookimon]

I had the most frustrating time trying to contact either Eugene & Evangeline. The generic email listed had some problems and my emails were bounced back. So were my email to Eugene.

My calls to the main line to look for Eugene either transferred my call to Eugene or Evangeline which they didn't pick up. I was only told that Eugene was on leave when my friend (who couldn't tahan my ranting) called and the main line told her.

When I finally contacted Evangeline, her appt for me was fixed more than a week later! As compared to other hotels who were alright for me to come down that weekend or the week after for viewing, I was duly disappointed.

Maybe it just wasn't meant to be. I understand that they might be busy but it was very hard to mask my frustrations.

Hope the other M Hotel BTBs won't have such an unpleasant experience as I did.

 

[piggeekgirl]

Hi Weiting, so sorry to hear 'bout your experience. Initially we emailed to both Eugene and Evangeline and it was Eugene who replied and told us Evangeline on leave, so maybe we were lucky to email both instead then.

But I guess maybe they are booked with a lot of appointments when people are going down to look a the hotels for next year. The same thing happened to me when I made an appointment with them and also with few other hotels 'cos their slots are taken up for other couples.

Sure hope your meet-up with Evangeline will be a good one! Smile!

 

[cookimon]

Thanks Kat!

We consoled ourselves that their business is good, so must have a lot of people wanting to view.

Oh well, see how it goes, trying to look at everything with an open mind

 

[piggeekgirl]

No problem Weiting! Hope that you will find your ideal venue! Wedding is afterall a happy affair and we should be happy with everything.

 

[carolyee]

yea... i wanna contact evangeline since last week but no response at all. Called their DID but no one picks up (even Eugene's), emailed her also no reply... i need to finalise my appt for my food tasting! sigh!

 

[piggeekgirl]

Ah carolyy99, is there no way to get hold of her mobile phone number? 'Cos Eugene's email included his mobile phone number so we called him on his mobile phone that time when we can't get him at the office phone.

 

[zee_e]

Carolyy99, i always call evangeline by her hp no.
PM or email me for her no. if you can't get it.

 

[babyham]

Hi, try calling their mobile no. again... btw, Evangeline mobile is just a last number different from Eugene. hers is 5 n Eugene is 4 i think.... it will be better to arrange for weekday evening meetup as weekend slots are usually taken up quite quickly.
