Hi Waxie, can i check with you. For the poolside rom, did you do it after lunch banquet in the evening?
Hi all
I have done some homework comparing MO and MC.. it seems like MO has less perks like the following
- No LCD complementary
- no helper room
- 1 barrel of beer only
- no ang bao box
- no free 1 bottle red wine per table
Anyone had signed up recently and manage to secure the above perks after bargaining?

Hi nehoc,
For the LCD complementary, what's thats? They provided a LCD TV for your montage slides show?
My package does not include ang bao box too but it's ok, i decided to DIY.
I had red wine per table thou. Thinking of asking for perks like free flow beer, helper for room & LCD.
Cheers.

Hi all
I am thinking of securing the package with MO.. as they seem to be the ONLY hotel which can fit into my desired no of tables, budget, theme, accessibility and good feedback! =)
But I do notice that they wedding show was 3rd quarter last year and they have also replied to me that there will not be wedding show for them in the next few months.. sigh!
For those who signed up with MO during their wedding show last year, is it true that you get more perks such as table discounts, more red wine, free flow beer, helper's room, anniversary suites etc only at wedding shows?
If that is the case, then I will wait for their wedding shows, although I dunno when that will be and whether there will be one in the first place...=( At the same, I dun want the good auspiscious dates to be gone.. However, since my AD is on a weekday, it should be rather safe to book one year in advance right? My AD will be 3rd quarter 2010
Comments and ideas, pls! Thanks! =)

I held my wedding early last month at MO. My guests enjoyed the food tremendously. They also commented that the ballroom is very beautiful, from the chandeliers to the table centrepiece. I have no complaints abt MO. the service is attentive, they are very accommodating and everything went according to plan w/o a hitch. Everyone, from the coordinator to the butler deserve two thumbs up.

<font color="aa00aa">Hi Yve, which theme did you choose? Do you mind sharing your photos?
I have in mind the theme "Happiness" but not sure if it'll be too red.
Also, just wondering if it's a tradition to give the banquet/floor manager red packet? My fren said it's a must so that he/she will make sure everything is done smoothly.</font>

On the day I checked out, we gave out 3 angpows to the hotel staff - for the butler, my coordinator & the bridal assistant assigned to me on the AD. My total cost was $180 for the 3 angpows. Its not an exhorbitant amt of $ nor is it miserly we feel, but it is just a token for running our show smoothly. We were truly impressed.
On my AD, the bridal assistant even helped me fasten my halter gown. She helped me to remove a running thread from my gown, and carried around a glass of warm water with a straw wherever I was, "just in case". She basically just followed me every second ensuring I dont trip over and provided reassuring company wherever I was. I felt so bad and never expected her to go such lengths.
At my friends' banquet, they were mostly moving around themselves, and had to fumble with their EGs while going table to table.
Anyway, since I didnt give the angpows prior to the wedding, so the kind of attention & coordination they rendered would come from the excellent training & service level at MO, not becoz they received monetary reward so they were obliged to perform better on that day.

hi, any idea what are the choice of colors of flowers that are w/in the package? I'm thinking of using dark red/shocking pink roses for the dream theme, but am unsure if they'll charge extra?

Hi chouchouchboogie,
I would like to use the dream theme also but afraid tat it might look v dark.
Hi Na2,
I am glad to hear tat the red roses can be used for the dream theme wo any extra charges.
Btw can i know wat colour is the table cloth for the VIP table? Also black? Or is the colour very dark grey?

Hi elmo, I did lunch wedding at MO. The normal menu includes 7 courses but I added in 1 more course. the food is exactly the same as dinner. I got 1N stay at the suite only though. The rest of the perks are comparable. I still receive guests' comments that the food is v gd. MO is a delight to work with!
Hi geray1008,
Dream theme is not as dark as what we think. I have 35 tables. My hubby was a bit sad cos it was not dark enough.. But I'm very satisfied cos too dark many ppl might nt be able to accept it. VIP tables are dark as well. Not very dark as all tables have a silver translucent cloth to cover it. It look class. Our parents request to have a small red table runner on it. It looks great.

Hi Na2,
Glad to hear tat.
I agreed tat if too dark, those elderly might be unhappy lor. My parents are doubtful abt how it ll turn out to be.
Its a gd idea to have a red table runner so it wont be so 'black'. Btw do u have the red table runner only at the VIP or all the tables?
Wondering wat colour of EG can go with the dream theme.
Thanks gal.

Hi geray, i've seen the set up for the dream theme in the ballroom and it actually is not as dark as the photos. Like what nehoc said, there actually is a gunmetal coloured organza table cloth over the black so it actually looks nice. I would love to go with that theme, but cos i'm having my dinner in the garden suite and the ceiling is lower, then it will be a little too dark and i like my photos to actually reflect the true colour of the setting so i've just decided to go with the love theme. (going white and a little bit of green)
i'm counting down peeps.....1 more month and i'll be back in singapore for the wedding!
