Dear Brides-To-Be,
I have just completed my wedding dinner at MM and I’m really glad that everything went on smoothly with the great help and coordination working with our wedding coordinator, Fiona. Thus, I’ve decided to post here, to emphasize to all BTBs, the importance of getting an appropriate wedding coordinator to assist you throughout the entire wedding process so as to ensure that your once in a life time wedding will be a perfect and memorable one. I'm not trying to be bias here but I just want to share our pleasant experience in working with Fiona as me and my hubby felt that she deserve the credit and recognition. So if anyone intends to sign up your wedding package with MM, do consider engaging Fiona to be your wedding coordinator as we sincerely hope that you too, will have an enjoyable experience and a smooth-flowing wedding in MM.
Do bear in mind that the wedding coordinator will be one of the most crucial point of contact whom you will be working closely with for up to a year before the actual big day. From negotiation of contract, wedding perks, guest invitation, food tasting, external vendor arrangements (floral, wine, cup cakes, lollipops, candy, chocolates), offering helpful and constructive suggestions, recommendations and all sorts of nitty-gritty requests and details. Therefore, it is essential that you must be comfortable in working with your selected wedding coordinator. After all, you are paying for their service. Thus you ought to be satisfied with their professional service rendered.
My hubby and I were worn out and drained with the decisions that we have to make during our wedding preparations. It was overwhelming and stressful. However, we are thankful for Fiona’s expertise as she guides us step-by-step thru the wedding protocol and adhering to the time line management of the event without any hiccups. We also realized the benefits of appointing her as our wedding coordinator, as she has a good track record and a great rapport establishment internally with her colleagues (From Banquet Manager, Audio & Visual Team to F&B crew). This was indeed a bonus reassurance that things would run seamlessly on our actual wedding day, providing us an ease of mind, minimizing our stress level to the lowest possible.
Lastly, a word of advice - not all wedding coordinators in MM offer similar wedding perks or package nor do they possess the equivalent positive work attitudes. Both my hubby and me are relatively easy-going by nature. In spite of this, we were utterly disappointed with our initial unpleasant and rude encounters while liaising with another MM wedding coordinator (we do not wish to name her here) prior Fiona. Fortunately, our request to switch wedding coordinator was granted by the hotel management. Fiona has been pretty generous with the wedding perks. Most importantly, her sincerity, friendliness and her genuine focus towards our well-being were deeply felt and evident from our very first meeting. This is what my hubby and I define, as professionalism. Thumbs up, Fiona!
Btw, for wine vendor, BTBs might want to consider Susan from Euro Link Wines & Spirits, she offers excellent service and attractive pricing. They are located at Toa Payoh and consignment of wine is available without any MOQ plus free delivery to the hotel.
