Hi Sashamama,
What are the perks you are getting from MM? Mind to share?
What are the perks you are getting from MM? Mind to share?
Dear Hil:
Mwah hah hah hah hah..
My mistake..
hehe..
Dear Piyo:
I got SOME perks due to:
1) Signing up with them during this wedding fair period
2) Signing up as a weekday package
3) Signing for for our banquet BEFORE June 2005 because they having renovation works for the hotel from April onwards, so sure to have visible signs of the reno works somehow. ALSO, their ballroom will be renovated in July & Aug 2005, so our Jun banquet is in the current OLD ballroom, and if u gals' banquet is from Sep 2005 onwards, then you gals will use the NEW ballroom!!! ***envious***
Think u can negotiate for perks like
1) Invites 70% to 80% (Tho not stated in the contract, but they can give a little more if you REALLY need)
2) Parking 20% to 30% (Tho not stated in the contract, but they can give a little more if you REALLY need)
3) Late check-out (Subject to availability)
4) Free tix for upcoming bridal show (If u confirm ur banquet)
Because of the coming wedding fair, they giving 1 or 2 more BIG perks, but that's if yours is a WEEKDAY BEFORE JUNE 2005!!! They throw in some perks that u can use depending on how many tables you confirm with them.. So depends on what you choose from the list lo..
We chose
1) Free flow of beer
2) Food tasting for 10
3 & 4) Free 2 x 12 bottles of wine
5) 2nd Nite bridal suite with breakfast.
We confirm abt 45 tables, so we got 5 perks
When did u sign ur package?
When's ur banquet?
How many tables you confirm?
So what are ur perks like?
Mwah hah hah hah hah..

Dear Crystal:
The hotel will be fully functional during their reno works. They'd have hotel guests staying there and many other weddings & corporate functions going on. The management wld definitely make sure that the hotel is presentable as a respectable 5 star hotel, i'm sure!
The reno works for the ballroom starts in July 2005 til abt Aug 2005, which explains why they did not accept any weddings in these two months. So for urs in April 05, definitely won't be affected, no worries
But of course for brides who booked their room after the reno period would not get the same perks definitely. They get to use the NEW ballroom and the hotel wld have completed their reno works by then.. You win some, you lose some, of course!!!
Hope we'd share more experiences here!!!
Cheers!!!

Dear Crystal:
Mi taking the grand ballroom cos me confirm 45 tables. The minimum for the grand ballroom on level one is 35
When did you sign up for your package le?
Dear MM Brides / MM Brides 2B:
Going for the wedding fair this coming Sat? Can try their food, see their ballroom, etc!
Dear Piyo:
Where did you go?
hehe..
You asked for my perks and you've yet to share yours!
Sorry i edited my post, cos the original one wasn't accurate..
There was actually an MM bride who PM me, asking me if I got more perks, and that she intend to copy and paste my post to her MM coord and ask for the same perks.
I am very upset and shocked abt that! Firstly, on this forum, it's not permissible to copy and paste others' postings especially as quotes!!! Moreover, that bride's package is on a WEEKEND AFTER the reno period! It's impossible and unfair if the perks are the same. On top of that, her coord had already accorded her other perks which I didn't have. So i really don't see why the bride should make things difficult for her coord.
Different couples hav different needs and concerns lo, the MM coords wld surely customize a package to suit specific couples. I'm sure the MM brides here wld agree with me that the MM coords are frenly and flexible with regards to perks and negotiations as compared to other hotels.
I really hope that there can be more sincere sharing on this thread and brides here wld stop making use of others' postings whether the postings are mine or not. If many brides do what that bride intended to do, looking for more perks from their coords though their packages obviously entitle them to different perks, then there'd be many unhappy couples looking for their coords for more perks every now and then, then the MM management wld have to cancel all perks to eliminate such discrepancies that cause unhappiness. I'm sure non of us want that to happen. MM definitely wldn't want to sell us standard packages with no flexibility too.
So the best way is to negotiate with ur coord based on ur own concerns and needs. And note that the same perks don't apply to all packages especially when the packages are signed during different promotional periods.
I forgot the nick of that bride who wanted to quote me but i'm glad she realized that our packages are different and didn't go make things difficult for her MM coord. Hope more sincere brides can join me in sharing real experiences here without having to fear being quoted for anything.
So, anyone care to share some of their wedding prep info so we can chat?
Cheers!

Hi Sasha,
I'm back...I was outstation over the weekend.
Welcome to the MM thread..cos saw
a lot of your "intriguing and valuable" postings on other threads.
Hmm.. My perks are not as attractive as yours(we already signed). Not to discuss about it again
cos you sound so affected...Poor Sasha.
Look on the positive side..Be happy...MM and MM to-be couples should enjoy the interaction and exchange of
information. We are all sincere in sharing the BEST with our fellow comrades...
Got to do some unpacking now..catch up with you guys again..

Dear Gals, esp Piyo:
Hehe.. Ya, i did quite a lot of compilation of info on wedding stuff before i started teaching in July. Have been sharing with many brides.
If u gals dun mind sharing ur wedding info and email add, mi wun mind sending u my file too! hehe.. Share the BEST like what u said! hehe..
No probs discussing abt the perks tho! Who's ur coord? And what wld u like to have that are not in? If it's the usual perks like what i stated above, like more invites / carpark coupons / late check-out etc., sure ur coord can work out something for you!
When's ur banquet? Before or after the reno works? Weekday or weekend? If urs is weekend and after the reno works, think the big perks wun be that many lo.. But you can be sure the hotel renovated til nice nice, no signs of reno at all, and the ballroom sure to be even nicer!
Mi & FH actually wanted Sheraton cos we found the current MM ballroom a little older, but due to budget constraints, we chose MM. Of cos also that MM is reputed for good food and service! So if urs is the newly renovated room, must be a very good deal!
Maybe they'd reveal how they wanna renovate the ballrooms and hotel during their coming wedding show! Anyone here going? Cos i signed with them in this promo month, i got 2 free tix to go with FH. Wonder if wld see any of u there? hehe..
Actually, mi & FH went thru quite a bit to have our banquet at MM. Our original date was 16th June 2005 (Thu). It's the best wedding date for us, and on a Thu, very near weekend, easier to apply leave and beta weekend mood, etc. Though there was a tentative booking, we went ahead to discuss details thinking the other couple not very keen..
Scar-ly the other couple want the room too! So we went back to our temple uncle and asked for a second choice date. He gave us 28th June 2005 (Tue). So we had to go check with our JP David Loh, Photog Hilarion Goh & Videog Adrian Lee if they're available on that day too, and luckily they were. We also had to go for our 1-week honeymoon BEFORE our banquet during 10th - 16th June or so, which of cos we wonder how we're gonna explain to our parents.. Moreover, school would have started and that wld mean i need to take leave and my lessons wld be disrupted and wld lose some of the celebratory mood too!
Whatever the case, we're glad we eventually booked with MM. Cara has been very thankful & apologetic with this whole saga and we're really lucky to have worked out something with her and are able to continue to work with her for the coming months. We're sure we're in good hands
Oh ya! With regards to exchange of info, yet to know when's ur banquet, who's ur coord, what are ur perks, etc! Maybe can update according to my earlier format a few posts above?
Cheers!!!

Dear Sasha
Thanks for sharing so much info and thoughts on the forum.. Will be glad to share further on the wedding preparation info!
I have also signed up for a weekend package in 2005, and will be going for the Wedding Fair this Sat. Are they going to reveal the changes to the ballrooms? All i know is they will remove the spiral staircase leading to the 2nd floor ballroom, hence no more confusion and 2 groups of guests at the grand ballroom! ;p

Dear JovialGer:
Thanks for being willing to share experiences and info here too! I scrolled up to read and got to know ur wedding in Oct 05 and Piyo's in Nov 05! That would mean u gals get to use the new ballroom! Me also not sure how it'd be like, but i guess when we go down this weekend, we'd know! I didn't find out much abt that cos I don't have the fortune of using it lo.. hehe..
Actually, me just had an op abt 10days ago, to remove a blood cyst in my fallopian tube. It's a condition called endometriosis which may affect fertility. That's why mi & FH decided to bring forward our banquet planned for 2006 to next June latest. So that we can start a family earlier! So definitely wun be able to use the renovated room and hotel.
But what MM is offering us is good enough! Especially with good reviews on their food and service, me & FH wld work harder at our theme and photo montage so as to leave a deeper impression in our guests' mind as compared to the look of the ballroom
Wow! Removing the spiral staircase is a major reno plan lo! Wonder how bad it'd look in June when i have my wedding. One thing to note tho, that reno works will end by 6pm everyday, so when we start our banquet, no sounds or sights of the works going on.
Wonder how are we gonna recognize one another?
hehe..

Arlow Sasha,
Your file is amazing! Really full of info! Like some FYP like that! LOL!
Hehe, EB sure hard-sell lah...we fell prey lor, but so far everything's smooth sailing so I'm not complaining!
Besides Ikura desu ka, also must add in 'Takaiiiii' (expensive) haha..I'm not japanese lah.
I noticed alot of MM brides from NTU! Whoosh!

Dear Yuuri:
Actually, mi also kena hard-sell by EB, paid $500 deposit. That time, me & FH neva even talk abt marriage at all! Blur blur paid lo.. Later, when i did more research on bridal studio, i realized i'd have more confidence in Dang & Kai and wldn't mind paying more, so we decided to change our deposit for something else! Like take grad photo or top up another $500 to make it $1000 to take makeover with my mum / my doggie / my new-born, etc. Mi younger bro also signed with them on an earlier occasion and was unknown to me til i signed up for mine! They paid $1000 tho, and are thinking of letting it go or changing it to something else as they really like Ted Wu.. So if u have any friens who are satisfied enuf with EB, do lemme know and see if a deal can be made!
Share with u our package (mine and bro's are the same) see if urs is beta or if u can negotiate for beta stuff! haha..

thanks crystal!
Hi Sasha,
haha no wonder I thought your nick is very familiar! I must have seen you trying to sell the package!
Mine's almost the same, except i think I got a newer model of the Merc and AD photography extra rolls at a lower price
I will keep a lookout for you though.
Guess for FH and I, we were too lazy to have to look at another BS so we just went along...

Dear Shymz:
No pix from me but my advice is to go down to the hotel this Sat for their fair! It's just $20 per couple and you get to try their food, view their rooms, and receive very good perks!!!
My advice though is to make a tentative booking on the date you want first... Cos i'm sure there'd be quite a number of couples going down this Sat to book their packages. You can try calling 68451018 for their events personnel to help you. My coord Cara, and some other coords like Beng Khoon and Gladys are a few frenly ones you can approach.
When do you plan to have ur wedding? If it's the first half of the year, do note that the wedding fair is offering very good prices and perks. If it's after aug 05, note that u'd be using the newly-renovated ballroom
Try going to their webbie below to view the hotel and find out more.
http://hotels.meritus-hotels.com/meritus/marinamandarin/index.html
Below is a pix of Les Oiseaux which i copied from their webbie
So far there's been much good reviews abt MM's food and service, so shouldn't be much of a prob there, i guess! hehe..
All the best!!!

Dear Newkiddy:
You can just call them at 68451018, their events department.
My advice would be to shortlist a few dates that u intend to hold ur wedding on, then call that number, ask to speak to Cara or Gladys or Beng Khoon, and see if the dates are taken up or not first.
If not, make a tentative booking on ur first choice date before u go down, in case that date is taken by another couple! No need to commit or pay anything when u make a tentative booking. Except if another couple decide to confirm that they want the date and you've yet to decide, then u need to give it up to them.
For the tix, just need to register over the phone (same number as above), that day just go down lo.
It's 2 - 5pm. Think 130pm can go down personally and pay over the counter.
Cheers!!!

Dear Shellzzz:
Ur wedding on a weekday or a weekend le?
Before or after June 2005 le?
If before and on a weekday, should really go for Marina lo.. Super good deal with many perks, less risk of losing money lo.. Though need to be prepared that the hotel may not look it's best when undergoing reno. Well, me & FH will make up for it by playing up our Red Theme, very nice Photo Montage and Express Highlights, to leave deep impressions in our guests' minds instead
But Meritus of cos was our first choice cos we really like the place and their perks are not bad too!!!
Dear Gals:
Just emailed u my famous file!
Can also share info le! Join me, JovialGer, Yuuri & Snow26!!!
