Hi all
Me met up with the coordinator this morning, had a look at the grand ballroom and the bridal suites. Really have to say that their service is good and the ballroom looks great except for:
- Low ceiling at 4m, with the chandelier, it actually looks lower
- Short march in as the ballroom is horzontally elongated, anyone knows how long is the marching-in in terms of minutes?
Other than that, the backdrop is really quite class and special, i must say! I like the reception foyer as well as the enclosed feeling within the hotel. They are also able to provide me the solemnisation room one day before my banquet! Menu is flexible too! Many good and flexible perks. Only thing is the short march-in. Anyone have comments on the march-in? How to enhance on a short march-in?
Anyone have any feedback on the food as well since it is not from peach blossoms?

Dear all,
I just had my wedding at MM Grand Ballroom on 15th May 2009. Overall, I can tell you it was fantastic. MM handled the whole event very well and I have no worries at all. They are always around asking if you need a drink. I feel so pampered.
Lilian, I can ensure you that the short march-in was not an issue at all, especially if you have a gown with long train, you wouldn't want to have a long march-in. All you need to do is just march-in slowly, look up and enjoy the moments. I took almost 2 minutes to 3 to finish my march-in. The banquet manager will brief you before you march-in ensuring that everything is okay.
The food was good, no complaints from my guests.
Really, would like thank all MM staffs who helped out in my wedding and special thanks to Mr How, my banquet manager, Fenny, my wedding ambassador, Joreen, my catering manager and not forgetting Sen, my first catering manager who gave me the feeling of "I want to my wedding here".
Ladies, be rest assured, MM will handle your wedding with no worries. You have made the right choice choosing MM for your wedding!

March in ard 42secs to 45secs..
Wow!! Thks ladies!
Seems like a lot of positive feedback on MM.
And looks like the time of march-in can vary from 0.75 min to 2min depending on how fast you walk..=)
Another question, their themes. The coordinator only show 2 themes to me and they seem rather boring.. not much specialty or creativity. Anyone had their wedding there before and can share their pictures?
Evy: What was your theme? How many tables do you have?

I'm happy with MM's set up on the tables... & the overall ambience is good...
Only thing I don't like is their set up on the stage... think it's kinda of old fashion and can say quite boring...
I really like the wall panelling at the back of the stage. Most likely, I will request them not to have the stage setup and leave it plain. And get my JMs to do something for the backdrop if possible... sounds like a lot of work... so maybe i'll give up when the time is near... haha...

As u can see there isn't much to talk about for MM reason being, they are good in arrranging weddings given to them and their food, ambience, location and all is good!
For the aisle, u might think it's too short but u can walk slowllyyyyy.. at ur pace!!!~

I just spoke to my coordinator 2 to 3 weeks back...
she say no matter what theme we choose, we change change the colour of the flowers...
so like if we take the crytal theme... we can take red or white or yellow (or any other colour) flowers...
sounds very flexible...
so quite happy with that la...

lilian huang, i manage to get the grand ballroom with confirm of 25 tables for weekdays.
Hi Ms bride
When did you book your wedding? During the recent wedding workshop in April 09? I tried to negotiate but the coordinator was not able to obliged, not even a table less to 34. Btw my date is 11 Oct 2009 Monday Grand Ballroom as well.
Also when is your wedding? I believe weddings held this year will have a better bargaining power.
What was the rate you pay per table?

For the ladies who want to see the ballroom setup.
I had my wedding in Grand Ballroom, theme is crystal with mixture of red roses.
The big poster and ballrooms was done by my husband's friend.
Enjoy the photos!

Hi all,
I have always been a slient reader here and have taken some advise as posted here. My wedding went very smoothly on 7Jun2009. All thanks to Wendy (co-ordinator) and Mr How (Banquet Manager). Mr How has taken care of every detail for the wedding dinner and very "xi xing" throughout the dinner. Mr How GOOD JOB DONE.
My guests mentioned that the food was great and the timing of the wedding event was just right as the wedding ended at about 1030pm.
I have never regretted choosing MM to hold my wedding banquet dinner. Cheers MM

Hi Wei Ying,
You can look for Kaylynn if you want to! Kaylynn can also help you! For teh check of ceiling, i think is better for you to arrange a meet-up with them to see the ballroom and at the same time discuss more details wif them before deciding!!!
