Hey gals

Since is AD is still within the CNY, thking of changing the chicken dish to a 'lou hei' instead. It always chicken and duck in the menu, so full and sick of eating 2 poultry dish almost immediately after each other. Any of you tried exchanging the dish before and did they charge extra.

 

[cottoncandy]

hi jitpong

understand from henry that if change same kind of food ie. different style of cooking, no charges, but if u change entirely different dish, then got to charge liao

 

[camy]

Agree with Sweet. Think that u have to top up if u wanna to have "lou hei" as your dish, jitpong. This is pretty a unique dish!

 

[niuniu]

hi sandy,

care to share your pics also? thks! [email protected]

 

[jitpong]

Hi sweet, camy

Thanks for your info,

I thk have to check with Henry

 

[cottoncandy]

no prob, jitpong... =)

Hi all,

We are still in the midst of confirming the number of guests. My coordinator only gave us 2 reserved tables. I thot it's pretty steep. Any advice?

 

[gargiel]

Hi gals,

my FH and I are interested in MM, anyone has Jamie as coordinator before? Is she good? Coz she was the one who showed us around but that day she seemed to be rather in a haste, like she wants to wrap up the session quickly so am a bit put off with her attitude...sigh...

hehe..if we do sign up with MM, can we request a change of coordinator?

 

[jitpong]

hi gargiel

definitely you can request for a change of co-ordinator if you like her service...there are other MM brides here who change their co-ordinator too...i thk either you call the director for the change or you spoke to the co-ordinator whom you want to takeover your package.

 

[gargiel]

hi Jitpong..

thanks for the advise! Appreciate that..

yeah, i guess when the time comes for me to switch coordinator then i will request for the change...right now just looking at venues which we are interested in..

 

[destinee]

Hi! Anyone has feedback on Angie as co-ordinator? Just receive a call from MM saying my original co-ordinator is leaving soon.

 

[icecream]

Hi Destinee,
Can I know who's your original coordinator who's leaving?

 

[scobido]

hi all

may i noe how much this hotel is charging for wkday and wkend?

tnx

 

[niuniu]

Angie is a very nice lady. Not pushy at all, very friendly, very professional & very helpful. Her response is pretty fast as well unless she's not in the office. Even that she has her secretary to respond. So rest assured if she's your co-ordinator.

[camy]

[piyopiyo23]

Hi Anyone had their wedding banquet held at MM?
Hope someone can share their experience with MM cos I plan to have mine banquet held there. Like the services, food, ambience. But do not hope to regret after signing the contract. =)

 

[branigal]

hi, i had my wedding at MM.. Recd very good feedbacks on the food.. service and ambience was good too... so rest assured! Plus it's a well known 5 star hotel, central location!

 

[jitpong]

moo - mandarin has a website and the banquet price is stated there.

 

[ninkumput]

Destinee,

My coordinator also Gilbert. May i know when will he be leaving? MM did not call me to inform me leh. Hmm... quite worried now.

 

[destinee]

I am not sure when he is leaving. Agnes called up my FH last week. My wedding is in dec.

 

[ninkumput]

Destinee,

So how's your wedding preparation? All settled already? Which ballroom will you be using?

 

[shymz]

Hello Sandy, would you mind sending your photos to me? email is [email protected]. thanks!

Any feedback regarding the food and service? From what I've seen on this board, so far so good...

 

[sandgirl72]

Hi Shymz
U've got mail

The food and overall service is GOOD. Are u planning to hold your dinner in MM too?

 

[yingal]

Hi Sandy, can you send your photos to me as well. My email is [email protected]. Many thanks.

Btw, any coordinators to recommend? Heard some are better than others.

 

[eejean]

Hihi!

New to this forum, am thinking of becoming a MM bride too!

Can i please have feedback on their food portion and their "refill of drink" service?

Will they also charge extra for other flowers such as orchids?

Do they have specific themes that other hotels have?

thanks!

 

[jitpong]

HI eejean

for ballroom decor...MM will usually ask the couple to liase with their florish direct. They have a package with the florist but if you require something of higher value than the package, then you will have to pay the difference

But overall the service of the co-ordinator is good, suite is nice and the price include quite a number of perks too...

Have not went thru my AD yet hence can't comment on the banquet service and food

 

[eejean]

Hi jitpong..

thanks!
banquet is the biggest expenditure, so have to be safe rather than sorry..

heard good things about Henry too..hopefully he doesn't dissapoint!
;p

 

[jitpong]

eejean - so you are liasing with Henry too....he is quite accomodating to our request.

 

[tulipblue]

Hi gals...

Will be signing the contract soon...coordinator is Henry..he is very friendly to talk to so making my decision to have it at MM was not that difficult and also the perks!

Sandy, will like to see your photos too if you dun mind...addy is [email protected]
Tks!

See you gals around!

 

[eejean]

hi tulipblue and jitpong,

what are the perks you requested for?
mine is a saturday dinner for 30-35 tables..
what should i ask for?
..thanksss

 

[jitpong]

eejean - actually i din ask for much...just another room for my co-ordinator to stay overnight...carpark 30% and invitation card 70%...late check out of the suite...i thk all MM brides here get these perks too...

 

[camy]

Hi Ee Jean,
Agree that henry is quite easy to get along and he is quite understanding.
After visiting so co-ordinator from so many hotel, find out that he is the best.
When is ur AD?

I'm considering to sign up the banquet with them too.......

 

[eejean]

My AD is 8 October 2005..hee..going to "bargain" today..thinking of all those that jitpong says..plus maybe can get some food voucher for helpers @ chatterbox mebbe..and more trays of canapes, and few bottles of wine..??

haha..too much right..but try luck will update ya all tomorrow..heheee

 

[sandgirl72]

hi tulipblue
u've got mail..

 

[branigal]

Hi all,

Yes, find that MM accomodates to requests very easily...

Yes, the suite is very big & nice!

Service wise, they're all helpful and friendly..

Food wise defintely good & very huge portion, never heard anything bad from my guests. All said very full and food was delicious!

Decor wise, yeah, if u like something different then u will have to liase with the florist, but subject to extra costs..

Actually i was quite impressed they served canapes during recep, nv seen that at other hotels which usually serve peanuts or even just drinks...?

 

[eejean]

really? cool..what was the set-up like for your wedding dinner?
can share pictures?

quite concerned about decor..haha..

 

[cottoncandy]

hi bubbles
my AD just a couple of days ahead of you..hehe..mine on 1st Oct 2005...coordinator oso Henry.. so u taking Mandarin Court too?

 

[tulipblue]

hi gals..

ee jean...yup like what jitpong has mentioned...i had almost the same perks..hehe except for the overnight stay thingy for helpers...hehe maybe try to bargain that into my contract as well!!

anyway am meeting Henry within the next few days...i think decor wise is not too bad...me and hubby are pretty alrite with it..might add more but that will be for us to worry next year...heehee...

sandy..thanks for the photos! You look beautiful and radiant in the photos...both u and ur hubby looked like you guys are having lots of fun on your day, with the poppers and bubbles..

 

[shellzzz]

Hi all,
is Doreen anyone's co-ordinator? Am interested in holding AD there, but not sure who would be best to liase with...
Sandy, can send me photos too? would like to take a look... my e-mail is [email protected]. Thanks! =)

 

[okipoki]

My co-oridinator is doreen.. very nice lady

 

[sandgirl72]

Hi tulipblue

hi shellzzz
u've got mail too

 

[shellzzz]

hee.. oki.. thanks, okipoki... =)
cos have been seeing henry's name appearing so often that I was psychoed that maybe he'd be a better choice...
btw.. anyone going for the smaller ballroom? how is the general feel of it? would the pillars be an issue?

 

[piyopiyo23]

Hi Sandy,

Can you share your photo to me too? ( email: [email protected] )I am considering MM to hold my wedding banquets. But still have concern for the pillar.
