Hi all,
I'm back from my wedding on the 15th Feb. You can totally be rest assured. The Oriental did a totally amazing job! It was just the wedding of my dreams. The service was impeccable and everything was just done accordingly to what I wanted and it even exceeded my expectations. The florist did a great job and the set-up was totally gorgeous. I used red orchids and bear grass with lots of candles and pebbles. Everyone said the food was fantastic (mine is a western sit down) and the banquet guy in charge of the night, Francis Kuah was really fantastic and on top of things. He was definately the man of the night. Even my guests commented on his service and attentiveness. He made sure everything was ok and when my hubby lost a bag with his handphone in it, he got everything all sorted out. Despite Agnes being on long leave and only getting back the day before my wedding, she made sure everything was handed over properly and that all the details were documented and sorted out.
And the wedding cake! Don't know where to start. It was just amazing. All my guests took so many pictures of the cake. I had a real wedding cake. Chef Jane was great. When the cake was cut and served to the guests, she decorated it with golden hearts on the plate. The guests were all so impressed. She really added that final touch.
Their attention to details was just impressive. The room we had was fantastic. Within 5 mins of us checking in, someone came up and delivered a card on behalf of the GM. We wrote a letter to the GM complimenting the staff and the GM actually came down personally when we were checking out to speak to us. Me and my hubby are really really impressed. We are still buzzing from the wedding and my guests are still talking about it. The weather really held up (I had an outdoor solemnization by the pool and it was raining but we decided to go ahead and it cleared up just enough for us to have the ceremony).
So no worries about having your wedding there. The staff there are simply great.
I'll try to post some pics when the photos come in.
