Hi Lilian
I'm also quite interested in MM..do you tink you can pm me the wedding package?
I will be having my wedding in end of 2010 too..but dates yet to be confirmed by the master..hee..
 
The level 1 ballrooms are adjoining...
due to sound insulation issue, they will only hold 1 wedding at a time...
so usually they will open up all the partition for a big grand ballroom...
=)
and if i'm not wrong, at any point in time, there will only be a maximum of 2 weddings...
 
me and bf went to marina to view the main ballroom at level 1... all is gd except that the march in is really short....
 
berlinda, you can choose to walk in from different door and meet at the middle then do a walk in again! This would make ya march in longer. Hope it helps!
 
ll (weddingll) -- thanks!! oh ya din think of that!! its a good idea!! i tink i need to go back see the floorplan again hehe
 
hihi loy ... i had free flow of beer as additional perk

Hi BTBs,

Just thought of adding a word of compliment in here for MM, since our wedding in June 09. Had been participating this thread since our booking of the ballrm 1.5 yrs ago and thought it's time to show our heartfelt thanks to MM staff for all their assistance.

FYI, we had our wedding at the smaller ballrm, Vanda. Though smaller, yes lower ceiling, but the extraordinary service added perks to it which we felt is the most important for the big day. Little hiccups and most of our requests acceded to. Our wedding coordinator, banquet manager and hotel helpers were all smiley and mostly attentive to our needs.. Kudos to them !!!

As for the food.. so far only heard good words from our guests, no complaints..(not that they are bias, cos they did complain on other aspects, not on the hotel though) so we guessed it's not that bad but nice. We changed some of our dishes after our food tasting and all seemed to turn out well, though we had little chance to taste it on the day.

Suite - although a little small as compared to some other hotels, but everything was comfy enuff and we had 2 nights of stay for our package (which usually for other hotels is one night).

Generally we felt pampered and had a great time for our solemnisation by the poolside before the dinner. Though simple, but it was memorable and touching for us.

All the best for btbs for their wedding in 2009 and hope all of you will have a gd experience too !
 
Ok, next some marketing.. if anyone of you need wine bottles, let me know.. I do have some to let go.. new bottles.. untouched.

Brand: Maker's Table (Saltram Wine Estate)
Type: Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Country: Australia
Availability: 12 bottles (not readily found in supermarkets but only in wine stores)
Discounted Price: $18 per bottle

Kindly PM me if you are interested or drop me a message at this thread.

Cheers!
 
May I jus check what else can be negotiable with Marina Mandarin ( what other perks are they willing to give) and the overall experience with them?

How abt the theme decor?? anyone has any more pics to share with me pls?

Thks!
 
kodomo...what are the bad comments? can pm me? wanna pre-empt them. haiz...me keep regretting taking vanda ballroom cuz of the low ceiling. but very glad to hear that no complaints abt the food!
 
Hello all :D

I just signed with Marina Mandarin Vanda Ballroom for June 2010
happy.gif


Took quite some time deliberating but quite happy with my choice in the end! Agree with the low ceiling but cozy feel
happy.gif
 
hi girls i am also re-considering vanda ballroom due to the low ceiling..

wats the max capacity ?? 32?

im looking abt abt 28 -30 tables.. would it be too cramp?

does any1 have the floor plan for it?
 
hey ging3r the max capacity is 30 tables, it would be just nice, about 2 tables maybe 1-2 seats cannot see clearly. 28 is a nicer number.

hope this helps
happy.gif


I'm a little worried about the low ceiling too but I think it will be very cozy, which is something I want for my wedding
happy.gif
 
thanks girls for the input..

but tthe grand ballroom requires a min. of 35tables.. and the date that i wan is already taken..

coz my no. of tables is not here not there..
looking at abt 28tables.. but maybe exceed 30.. headache.. yet i cannot hit the min. for the grandballroom
 
hmmm ... is urs dinner or lunch? sometimes it depends on ur coordinator ...
happy.gif
... if lunch, it'll b ezier to negotiate for a lower min table requirement

hiya .. i went to MM today to choose theme ... was quite disappointed coz this year's theme so so onli ... and weddin favours are not nice too ... goin down to supplier's shop to see if got nicer ones ... then do top up ... wish mi luck ... will keep all informed ...

luckily coordinator is very nice ...
 
onli got 2 themes ... red or gold ... backdrop = 3 types ...

weddin favours got small metallic magnet photo frame, the cute couple bears, a sleepin bear, a chinese weddin couple small saucer, an angel glass coaster and a heart-shape measuring tape (pink)
 
Purinne... when is ur AD ? If its 2010, the coordinator told me there will be new theme. I actually went down to recce and saw the gold theme decor and i tot its quite nice.
 
Evelyn> had my food tasting last week....
my advice is not to try the herbal chicken...
We tot it would be similar to what Meritus Mandarin is offering...
but to our horror...
it's different in terms of taste and presentation...
the meat is very, very dry and tough...
no one could finish their bowl of chicken...
& the presentation of the dish is really bad...
imagine 1 whole chicken served inside a glass bowl on a white plate... =(
so we decided to change to crispy chicken...
had it at the wedding fair...
quite tender and juicy.... =)

other than this dish, the rest of the dishes are yummy!

BTW, we removed the shark's fin soup and replace with a seafood soup...
the seafood soup turns out very nice!
Lots of ingredients to chew on... =)
everyone [except my mum... *_* ] thought that it a refreshing dish to replace the shark's fin soup... =)
 
hiya missydoll ... mi AD is in Oct 09 ...

there are 2 color themes to choose from and three backdrop themes to choose from when i went down last wkend ...
 

hi everyone~ i have also signed up with MM for the Vanda ballroom in June next year!
happy.gif


Love the cosy feel but now im stuck with the increase in guest list (dad just dropped the bomb!) From 28 tables in total, its now 34 tables!!! yeeks........

Headache
