Jaslyn, u r right. have to top up 600+++ for premier suite.

Cheryl, My AD is on 16/12/07. Have confirmed to signed with MM and placed deposit. Finally settle with the biggest "burden".

Rod thanks for the website. The deluxe suite is not listed on it. I had requested my coordinator to send the pics of the suite to me. Just like everyone's comment, the suite is really nothing to wow abt.

MIA very long! hehe..been very busy with work too!

Hi Galsparkle!!

Yes! We will be wed same day... So exciting! will your solemnization be on the same day or before that? Mine will be at the hotel, in a function room I managed to get complimentary from Fiona. Had asked about holding it at the pool area, but that will add extra cost, so decided not to...sob sob.. Maybe I'll drop by main ballroom and visit you on that night! :p

HI Yingsan,

Where u heard about MM changing their wedding themes? I think that's very good news! hehe... Was there any mention of changing the wedding favours or wedding invites? I feel the ones they have now, are quite ordinary... and very limited choices for favours. I am thinking of sourcing for my own in BKK. I especially like glass coasters! Hilton had a better selection of invites and favours BUT their manager wasn't very nice when we met her...so me and FH din wan to sign with them.

Hi Rod, So Fiona going on leave? When is she coming back? I also haven't returned my contract! But since already paid deposit, shouldn't affect the booking rite? Think MM should provide return envelope..hehe...have to send it back is abit troublesome! :p

Oh ya, digress abit..Went to see tucky's photography yesterday. Quite like his style but tink his price quite steep. Anyone here using him as well? His comments from previous customers all very good, plus he's a fren of fren. The wedding journal thingy is quite nice too! So i'm still considering...

Last of all, Happy Lunar New Year!! And to all BTB, last chance to get Ang Pows this year! Must get more... hehe.. :p

Wishing all a wonderful year ahead! ;)

Jenny, I was told that there will be new wedding favours. You source with Hilton too? We found the coordinator's attitude real stuck up and din sign with them too.

Hi Jenny,

She shld be back the week after next so no worries! Hahaha.. u are right! They dont provide self addressed envelope for us to mail back one... lazy to buy stamp oso..

Regarding the wedding themes, yes they are indeed changing their themes, most likely beneficial for those in year end (if im not wrong)

still hoping that the new themes are wat we all like! Good luck!

Hey Joyce! Ya, same sentiments... For Hilton, did you meet with the manager also? For my meeting last year, I met with another lady, not the manager, she was very friendly and very very nice. We were quite happy with her. but we realised that she was leaving hilton the following Monday after we met her. After that, when we wanted to confirm with Hilton, met with the manager but she like SO attitude, everything also cannot compromise. so in the end, we decided not to sign with them.

Fiona did mention to me that there will be new favours but she said not going to be a very wide selection also, maybe add 1 more. But she din mention change of themes!! I am quite excited by the prospect of having new themes to choose from.

Hi Rod, thanks for the info. I intend to pass the contract to the front desk at MM the next time I go shopping at Marina Sq. So save a trip down, juz to return the contract! ;þ Your AD also end of year? Mine is 13 Dec, should be considered year end rite! hehe.. Yes, cross fingers and hope for nice themes that we all like!! ;)

Have you all booked your JPs? who's a good choice? anyone has any idea?

Hi jasmine,

Hee, I finally book my banquet at MM!!
Took the great ballroom, i went down and there happen to be a function that day, looks grand and the best part is the reception area is all ours, will be very private! When s your wedding date?

Hi all,

HAPPY CNY.I've signed a package with MM as they are 1 of the few hotels that I can get a date on 24 Nov 07.I tell u,this is crazy! I started sourcing for wedding packages in dec &amp; for the date that i want,most hotels have been booked already.

Fiona is my coordinator.Juz a little tip,not sure if it's going to help.My fiance did most of the talking to Fiona (i was just listening) &amp; she seems quite accomodating.Well,maybe it's coz my fiance was very friendly with her (read: flirting),we asked for a lot of things.As ours is on a weekend,it's quite difficult to negotiate.Fiona managed to get us the date,as there was already a tentative booking.Seems like if the guy flirts with Fiona a bit more,she will give in more.haha.well,i'm not fussed abt this,coz ultimately,i'll be marrying my fiance,and the flirting is only to get us wat we want.

yah,the wedding favours will be changed,and compared to other hotels,MM's is not very nice.I've seen nicer ballrooms as well.I like Swissotel Merchant court.

But in this case,we r going for prestige and the date.My future sis in law is getting married at Conrad.when my fiance's collegues asked where he's getting married (at that time,we were considering novotel),he said novotel &amp; he said u could see their shocked reaction.

Well,this only goes to show how shallow ppl are.Better make sure their red packets are 'big' enough to help me cover the cost of the wedding dinner.

Hi Rosel,

yah,tell me abt that.ppl being shallow.but u know,the funny thing is we can afford to have a lavish wedding,but we choose to budget such that we won't spend all our money on the wedding &amp; live on a shoestring budget for the next 5 yrs.

In fact,I'm very happy abt the fact that we r both paying for our own wedding.not a single cent fr our parents.&amp; we also paid for our condo all by ourselves.And the best thing is: we don't have to live on a shoestring budget for the next few yrs.We can still wine &amp; dine,take our hols whenever we want.

I think my parents have already given me so much in life.they gave me the best education I could ever have (I was educated abroad,my course cost a bomb.).My dad is the other reason I chose MM.Prestigous enough,within my budget.U know,all dads want 'face'.so there u go! haha...

Hi Jenny,
Yes, I will also solemnize on the same day in a function room in MM..next to the ballroom. Semms like we are going thru the same thing on the same day haha... I haven't booked any JP yet....

Anyone know's whether the price for 2008 will be the same as 2007??

Happy Chinese New Year to all!!!!

Hi Jenny and galsparkle

I will also solemnize on the same day
happy.gif
since all of us are doing the same preparation rite now, we can share info together..
happy.gif


my current to-do-list is source for JP, AD PG and VG. hehe

Hi Yingsan,

You are getting solemnize on 13th Dec 07 too? At ROM? or?

Same to-do list! hehe... Sure to share info as and when I get any! I might not get AD VG, juz PG ba.

FOR ALL: Anyone gotten their JP and that JP was referred by friends? Intro? :p

haha...Yingsan, I think I got the wrong idea! You meant you will solemnize on ur AD (6th Dec)as well rite? :p

Hi Galsparkle, my function room will be on the 6th Floor...different from yours...which is more convenient for you! But i think it's cuz there's no function room on the 5th floor. To answer your qn on the 2008 pricings, I think I read on one of the posts, it's about $30 more than 2007 pricings.

<font color="aa00aa">monster6, i agree wif u. no pt splurging on a lavish wedding but to live on a shoestring budget thereafter.</font>
