Jitpong, I actually budget abt 2 bottles per table. Shd be sufficient cos I checked with my friends and they said abt 1.5 btls per table was used.
 
Hi Sweet
I am intending to borrow the projector. So still asking around to see who can lend to me.

Too late for me to go back to negotiate for backup now. Sigh....
 
Hi Trekkie,

Me too, cash flow is tight, so I asked for less deposit. Talk to ur coord, should not be a big problem

Hi Jitpong,

The number of wine depend on ur guest whether many of them prefer red wine. Do some homework and estimate the number. Some tables may need more bottles and others may just require 1 bottle or none.

Hi jitpong
Henry told u that cannot bring in non-duty free liqour? i understand from another one of my gf, can leh..they will close 1 eye...

it can be easily differentiate coz the size of the bottles are different and there is a sticker/label for duty-free liqour...
 
Hi cmy,
Your AD is coming soon. Have you confirmed the number of table? Select the foral arrangement?

How are u going to cut down the effect of the blockage?
 
bbear, sweet - oic so that how they differtiate. ya henry did tell me that no duty free allowed when he is discussing the package with us...but as you said maybe they will close one eye on that day
 
Hi bbear
I actually have not confirm and pay deposit with Mandarin yet, so cant add my info..hehe..but will do so once i have confirm them! =)..mine is at Bt Gombak, new flat..near my current's place at hillview...
 
jitpong, No. of bottle of wine = No. of tables x 1.5. that should be enough. esp. when mandarin already serving beer... no need alot of of wine

Hi Jitpong
I intend to have abt 40 tables and I ordered 48 bottles ( think it should be more than enough). In any case, my intention is that if its consume earlier than dinner finish, than its just too bad. No need to worry too much abt the wine not enough.

Hi gals

Thanks for all your advice on the wine....my mum also tell me that jsut tell the guest no more wine if really not enough....no one will talk...

hi cmy - can share how much is the package for stefine....if not convenient on the web can email me at [email protected]
 
Hi Shinchan,
I understand that you had Kevin from yappies as your videographer. How did you find his service and end product? Did you have express edit to be shown during the banquet? So did Mandarin provide the projector and all Kevin had to do was plug in the video?
So sorry for all the questions! :P
 
Hi gals,

I'm a Mandarin BTB too. We have just been down to view the wedding set-up at the Beldevere.

Also found the flower arrangement very bare. The 6 flower stands look rather sparse and each table only had a small glass pot with three pink roses and some ferns!

Anyone had experience or some tips on how to improve the decor at Beldevere? Do they have alternative flower designs?
 
Hi Zonkkie,

I had took up Belvedere too.
Also agree the floral arrangement was quite plain.

When is your AD? How many tables do u plan to have?
 
Hi zonkkie,

U have more than a year to prepare.

Maybe we did meet each other at Mandarin Hotel during our viewing.

We are having around 30 tables too.

The pillars are our concerns too.

Who is ur coordinator?
 
Hi bbear,

Our coordinator is Francis.

We went to view the Beldevere last Saturday and there were about 3 other couples walking ard. Were you there as well?

Saw a coordinator there talking to a couple. Not sure if that is "Handsome Malcolm".

Hi Zonkkie,

We were not there last Sat, but we did pass by when we were in Orchard few weeks ago.

Our coordinator is Malcolm.

Want to share your other wedding info.(Bridal Studio, photographer, videographer,etc)
Add yourself to the list created previously.

Is Beldevere your first choice?
 
Here are our details

Our coordinator reserved the ballroom for us based on the number of tables.

Hi gers... my ROM pics... some pics taken in MM swimming pool and other nice MM venues...

Special Thanks to Malcolm, Asst. Director of Catering. Malcolm has taken lots of effort to make my ROM a nice and cosy one. He arranged our good Lunch at Mezzanine and the Photo taking session at the Hotel. Both my hubby and I like to share our experience at MM with all of you.

My gf held her wedding at MM, Act 1 on Sunday 23 May. Malcolm went down to help to decorated the Function Room and look into extreme details and co-ordinated the whole thing well.

Girls, if you are still deciding who to get for ur co-ordinators in MM, try Malcolm... Or if you are deciding which hotel for your Banquet... MM will be the choice. What's more... Free Flow Beer leh... where to find?
