Hi MM brides,
I will be having my wedding in Jan 2003. I was really having a hard time deciding on which hotel's wedding package to choose from until I read your postings. I must say your feedback help me tremendously, and I am 99% sure that I will sign up with MM.
I have visited many hotels, and have actually narrowed down to Marina Mandarin, Merchant Court and Meridian. I was quite satisfied with Irene's(MM) followup service(Was anyone being attended by Irene before? I thought I saw "Cowie" mention that her coordinator is Irene. Can share your experiences?), and this MM coordinator, Pauline, seems to be excellent.
Overall, everyone seems to be quite pleased with their wedding dinner held at MM. So, I will probably schedule a time to meet with MM coordinator soon.
Sidetrack a little, I must say that Meridian's service is terrible. I called Meridian and asked for their package to be emailed to me. I called again the next day, as I had yet to receive their email. The Director of Catering said that the email had already been sent out. Thinking that the email might have been sent to a wrong email address, I suggested to send him a blank email so that he could have my email address. Days passed and I have yet to receive anything/followup from him. Talking about services from a Director! My FH also called up Meridian, and was quite pissed off with the stuff who attended to him. So, Meridian is definitely off our list, though its price and location are enticing. I just hope other people have better luck with this hotel.
This forum is very informative. I will surely come back again!
