Marina Mandarin Singapore
- Thread starter sarah
- Start date
Hi ladies, sorry for the late reply, just back from my honeymoon in Switzerland & Italy.
Hi 318bi
, we chose the bubble march-in and it was kinda romantic compared to dry ice which we feel is passe.
Hi snowiee
, our banquet manager was Dan. We are not sure if the bridal suite is the premier suite but it did have one toilet with glass doors. You mean one of the bridal suites has two toilets?? We had a wooden sliding door separating the bedroom and the living/dining room. Quite spacious. As for whether it was facing the sea, we could get some glimpse of the sea though it was blocked partially by Oriental hotel. The picture looks like one on the Marina Mandarin website.
Hi JK
, actually the wine and beer consumption depends on the nature of your guests. For us, we had 430 guests and out of the two barrels of 60-litre beer given (no free flow for us because ours was on Sat), the first barrel wasn't even finished, so the 2nd barrel wasn't opened. I guess nowadays people drink more wine than beer. But then again, it still depends on the nature of your guests.
Good luck and enjoy your preparations!

Hi Ben,
I just attended my FH's friend wedding at MM. Overall experience was great! Pretty impressed leh..
The servers were very attentive.. Food tasted wonderful.. I'm one person who is very particular abt food taste =) The fish & prawns served were very fresh..
I guess people have very different opinion on service level & food quatity. But so far MM pass the test!
Don't worry too much... I guess what's most impt is how comfortable are you with the hotel on the whole.. The feeling you get from the time you reach the carpark, to the lobby, to the ballroom & to the bridal suite..
My experience with Goodwood Park not too good leh..

Hi 318bi
, glad that you like the bubble march-in and had a great experience with your wedding, too. Sounds like our suites are different? Our suite had only 1 bathroom in the bedroom area. There was no bathroom in the living/dining area. However, there were 2 plasma TVs, one in the bedroom, one in the living/dining area. Outside the bathroom, there was a vanity corner. The bedroom & living/dining areas were separated by a wooden sliding door. Overall, very spacious. What about yours?
Hi Elcy~yes, me also like that ya,just the living room entrance there have another bathroom. Our room not the plasma TVs leh.is normal TVs.hehe! I can not attend the coktail because my zip broke. Quite angry of my bridal shop.The zip can not support the heavy gown.When I return gown, they never said sorry to me, only 'bu hao yi shi'....I not take the lower range gowns, I took the VIP range gown, end up also like that, my money spending on the bridal shop really not worth it, around 5k man...give me such bad experience.

Hi Kellie~my guest never complaint to me about the lighting and for the' fish bone'. They mention the fish very fresh and nice. If you worry that part, you ask let your banquet manaher know it, he can adjust for you.
Hi Ben~Before that I have same feeling with you too! after went to some ballroom, I felt that the ceiling will not a 'serious' problem. Some ballroom have very high ceiling and macrch in, but have pillar block.So we stick to MM too!
The coktail area is the best, for me! I like it...even my guest also enjoy the music and have a quick gathering with friends..

hihi we just had our wedding there 2 wks ago. overall was good.
just to share further, ours was on a wkday at the ballroom. we had 410 guests, 2 barrel of beer nearly finished, managed to drink only 30 red wines, the rest goes home with us, only 2 bottles of Martell that we brought in were used.
we were told that the waiters ratio for our night is more than 1 to 1 table, our coordinator wonder why too. BUT the problem is, my guests from different groups complained that they did not take the initiative to serve or refill the berevages. Guest must call for them to have their glasses filled. Quite upset about this cos we had brought in extra red wines and hard liquor which was returned untouched.
We love the cosy feeling that we get from the low celing and guests also compliment on the lighting effects and overall feel. the bubble effect is something different, i mean, this time this bride walked in w no smoke but full of bubbles ard, the feeling is special.
our room is the one w 2 bathroom room. it shld be made up of 2 rooms actually. got 2 room numbers. overall is spacious too, we are ok with it and glad that got 2 bathrooms espeically during the evening when frens and relatives poped in.
another not-so-impt" thing, the total of $100 F&B voucher that they gave us was used to offset the total bill (banquet and room service meals), i had thought that it was never meant for the banquet.
Cheers!

hEllo. has anybody booked with MM for 2008 weekday package? can share with us what are the perks that MM has offered so far? Tks!
We are plannig to attend the wedding show at MM on 7 Jan 2007.Just to share, heard from our coorindator there might be more perks offer(like free flow of beer for weekday and free one table for 20confirmed tables etc) during that time, but only for 2007 wedding. So we might be bringing forward our wedding to Dec 07 instead...

Hello Cheerss,
I have the same concern as you. the short march in and low ceiling...
but the decor and ambience is really cozy. Guess it depends on individual. Most likely we will be signing up with MM as they are quite accommodating to our request ..just need to convince myself on the short march in and low ceiling. hahaa. any MM brides can give comments on that to reassured us?
Thanks!~~

hi Kellie, you mentioned you booked your AD in 2008 at Marina Mandarin? that's one of my choices, also planning AD for first half of 2008. could you share with me your package?
or anyone else who has the 2008 package, can you share it with me? my email is [email protected]

hi ladies,
i think it's a wise choice to take a look at their promotion for the upcoming wedding show. for the previous round, we didn't attend but asked them to send us the documents with the pricing.
must admit that the pricing is reasonable with additional perks. for couples that can't attend, do send an email to them asking for the promotion details. there is a cut-off date for the booking to be done, usually around 1-2 weeks after the wedding show.
hope the information above helps.

hi happytea,
glad to hear the good comments on MM and congrats for your wedding!
i suppose u have booked the Marina ballrm, meaning the one at lvl 1?
until now, i have not seen the bridal suite yet, but i did request for the meritus club suite, hee..
didn't know that they are giving away F&B vouchers, will check with my co-ord when we meet her next round, haa.
though not a big sum, but still helps in a way.

hi anqi, thanks for the advice on the promotions. think i will email MM for the pricing since i can't make it for the wedding show.
thks anqi! ya ours were at the level one.
i had a long train too for the short march in. heehee no regrets. Was thinking, if the aisle is long, the guests's applause will slowly die off before you reach the stage cos they are unable to clap for too long.
For ours, it was short but w a bigger impact for that moment! so gals, dun let the short march in bothers you at all.
And low ceiling is not as itimidating as one with a high ceiling. so long you like the overall feel of the room, its sufficient. my colleagues comments that its better than the Intercontinent ballroom which is low ceiling too.
i think the overall room made me feel at ease that i dont have stage fright at all when i am on stage.
just a reminder, remember to instruct the waiters to take initiative to refill the drinks. this issue made us feel so bad, its not as if we are stingy on the liquors and wines and yet we bring back so many bottles w complaints fr our guests.
Get someone to observe the waiters service level and drinking pattern of the guests. see anything not right, act immendiately! if the wine are going slow, see if its becos the waiters are not doing their job well.
eh another thing, we had used UOB credit card to settle the bill. got points. other banks like HSBC dont have.

Hi all,
Just had my wedding at MM main ballroom 2 weeks ago on a sunday. Thumbs up for MM. Everything went smoothly. The food, deco, service were great. B4 the wedding, i thot the aisle to march in is short but on the actual day, the aisle didnt seem short. With the right music, deco,bubbles effect and most importantly, the cheering guests, everything seem perfect and beautiful. the impact was there. Many commented it was a beautiful wedding. The food was great. My guests loved the ice-cream mango thingy. The banquet manager and my coordinator Steven were v helpful and friendly too.No problem with car park lot too. Started dinner at 815pm tho we had 40 over tables. If any one is considering MM, dun hesitate. u wont regret.
