Sidney, no la...
I already discuss with Angie le.. Angie is good but she aint very flexible (think guys tend to be more flexible). She goes by the book de...
But of cos, toking bt reliability cfm ladies rules!
Ya indeed Jerry Sux man. Can u believe when I tok to him over the phone 1st time, i totally wanna die (he speak hokkien ok! bad english. Totally no professionalism at all!). If not for e ballroom that I like so much. I can strike MM of my list.
Luckily has a not-so-bad angie. Or u all wanna look for e director? His name is Kelvin. He is not bad during the show. He saw me & htb is alone (cast aside by jerry, he come & wanna help us) but i told kelvin that we waiting for jerry b4 i saw jerry attending to another couple after jerry cast us aside.
I feel so sucky! Waste my trip down lo!

I feel so sucky! Waste my trip down lo!
actually i was there at the wedding show too.
i felt that it was really a wasted trip down. i wasted 1 hour of my hectic schedule JUST to sit down there and hear what i have heard SO many times.
right from the start i told Jerry our table size but and he told us he will fight for it. Although there is no obvious evidence that he did try to speak for us. he didn't turn us down directly even knowing that their min requirement was quite far fetch from mine (i have around 30 tables only, they needed 50 for weekend).
my fiancee felt quite uncomfortable because he kept going on about religion. not that i dont agree with him as I'm a christian too, but this kind of thing quite personal la... end up my fiancee was so irritated.
we were led on and on and on for awhile even though he should know that its quite impossible for us to get. everything we spoke was open ended and nothing was even firm. (we were very ready to pay the deposit). we like the ballroom a lot and could have easily compromised with a lot of things... but ended up that we sounded as if we were BEGGING for them to take our money. we even wanted to compromise from holding it on a weekday instead of the weekend we initially wanted. (WHY should we compromise with the things we are PAYING for? not as if they are sponsoring my banquet.)
even after speaking to kelvin, their sales director, i find that they are too too too revenue oriented that they have totally cast aside the goodwill that they should make in business context. to be fair to them, i understand the part on maximizing the usage of the ballroom. but my understanding is clear cut, if can hold means can hold, if cant we also understand, but don't make us hang in FOR NOTHING knowing that we are very sincere customers... its not fair to us and the other hotels too. it reflects very very badly on the hotel.
like what diane said... if its not because of the ballroom we like a lot, we long ago would have strike MM off our list. nevertheless, this is not the only hotel we have shortlisted. It is nothing about money as we have given them our priority ONLY because of the ballroom. I'm TRULY very disappointed with their service and their priorities. they seem to forget that they are not the only hotel around.

i'm fuming mad after that day that my patience ran out. you try to imagine this - a couple walking around AIMLESSLY.... sitting around from table to table... trying to beg and compromise for our once in a lifetime just to get them to accept my money. ask me go down for what? to hear the same old story.
what is this? acceptable?
Sidney, no la, i think changing coordinator cant help much too. if its the hotel's policy, there is little they can do. its just that we would appreciate a little bit of courtesy by telling us whats going on in their back room. we are definitely not unreasonable. we were in fact very soft and patient for the longest time. we are already looking at another hotel which we also like a lot. even though its more expensive, at least i get more satisfaction and customer service with the coordinator we spoke to.

I totally agree with Sebastian.. i think the overall planning for the wedding show was extremely messy...in the sense that its not meant for people who are sincere and want to make a booking.. coz they were unable to cater to this group at all... i saw quite a lot of couples waiting ard...
HI DIANE, THANKS FOR UR INFO I TINK I BETTER MAKE APPOINTMENT WITH THEM TO SEE THE ACTUAL SETTING FOR THE MANDARIN COURT FULL IN 20 TABLES COZ MY COORDINATOR EMILY TOLD ME THE ROOM CAN FOR 20 TABLES NO PROBLEM AT ALL...I BIT WORRY NW
I HAVE SAME FEELING WITH SEBASTIAN ALSO...I WENT TO THE SHOW THAT DAY,EMILY ALSO BUSY WITH OTHER COUPLE, NEVER ATTEND ME...BEFORE THE SHOW, I EVEN HEARD THAT ONE OF THEIR COORDINATOR ASK THE COUPLE WANNA TAKE A LOOK THE BRIDAL SUITE OR NOT.SAD!

Sebastian,
That is exactly what I meant also! I went down b4 le lo. But Jerry called me on Thur asking me down so that he'll c what he can do for my wedding in 2010. I tot he can help that's why i went down but kena cast aside by him. Full of shit lo! I guess i bobian gonna wait for 2010 wedding show to open b4 i book. So don needa c their face. I jus don like be hang around. Simple sh*t lo! They are definitely not e only hotel around. Summore not gd in food, nth really raves bout e hotel actually. Now worst still with their service sux to e core!
Honestly, like anyone else, if other hotels like Grand Hyatt, Marriott, etc etc has their ballroom, I would have gone there.
Cher, yes.. Their wedding show is a FAILURE! REAL FAILURE! They are not interested in us (e sincere couples who has tons of cash in pockets wanna sign with Meritus) but they more interested in persuading ppl hu aint interested in them (jus go to get e freebies nia). They don care to retain customer r/s..
Honestly new customer will eventually become old customer. Is 5 times more hard to get new customer den to retain a customer. They cant & can nv always 4ever find new customer.
I guess MM de Marketing Mgmt fail.
Project Mgmt fail.
Event Mgmt fail.
Frankly la, no faith to put our 'ONCE IN A LIFETIME' huge personal event on their hands!

Wennie,
Mandarin Court can fit 20 tables definitely.
But is not nice (you get what i mean). Is squeezy.
So best is 16 tables.
Of cos la, for me also will put till 20 tables.
But me & htb really keep reducing. Those v far de distant relatives (nt even distant but jus nt close enough, so creates us an excuse to excuse them frm our wedding). We still wanna minimise to lesser tables.
E lesser e tables, e less lose u incurr.

Wennie,
ya ic..
But i ask my coordinator.
I told her 'Come on my dear, honestly la, not for e sake of revenue. What is e best no of tables that can fits my guest comfortably as i don like squeezy environment.'
Her reply: '16 tables' den illustrate the table arrangement give me imagine lo.
A very honest reply & i like her.
Jus don like her 'going by book & aint flexi' part. Other than that, she is perfect. Can ensure that she will be a gd coordinator.
For me, i guess 20 tables wont to e extend of uncomfy but will be very squeezy. Like hard to walk etc. Imagine you gt a pluffy gown & long train? U can die. Can opp the ballroom out liao..
