I printed out those that they sent through email. Normally they will give a nice pack of the wedding package when you meet them. They wil have more photos n info on the bridal suite, themes and so on..

Do you still need me to send it to you?
Hi StephF, I have the email copy of the packages. Thanks ya. Just thought if they do have the wedding booklet then I can ask for one to see on their themes. The coordinator only showed me some themes on her ipad which I cant rmbr how it looks like now. Thanks for your offer though.

I've the booklet of the themes in PDF form. I think they only sent it to me when I booked with them. You still need it? I've no problem sharing...
Just to share a bit.. I went to check out about 4-5 hotels with my bf, and we instantly liked Merchant Court, mainly cos they only have one ballroom, so the entire reception area is yours and private. A few of the other hotels we visited had 2-3, so likely you will be sharing the reception area with another couple on the actual day, especially if you're having your wedding on a weekend. They have high ceiling too, which another hotel we visited didn't, and it kind of feels claustrophobic (to me la). I also like the fact that it's so convenient from the MRT, so my guests wouldn't have to go out of the way to reach the hotel. Plus almost everyone whom I told that I'm holding my wedding at Merchant Court would reply the same thing "Oh I went for a wedding there before. The food is nice!"
You can consider Merchant Court! Heh.. My wedding's next year so can't comment on the actual dinner, but so far so good!
We had booked SMC! Hehe.. my htb has a friend who recommended this hotel to us with good comments on the food which is our main requirement. I also instantly like this hotel mainly bcoz of its 1 ballroom features n they did tried to accommodate to our needs after some "give & take" negotiations.
Pls send me the themes pdf can?

15 March 2014, coordinator Francis! Have you received the booklet I sent u on the themes, door gifts and rooms?
Yup yup. I replied u in the email too. Hehe... Thanks so much.
Your coordinator is good! Mine, I feel is a bit tricky... sigh.. her words are kinda prata. She never send me the themes booklets. I don feel very comfortable with her. Will give it some time since I only met her twice. If still feels the same mayb I'll ask to change coordinator.

Maybe, i say maybe only hehe, can ask if can change to free flow wine instead because weekend dinner already comes with 2 barrels of beer.

Francis attended to us during our meet up.. He's quite gd.. It was a good wedding show organize, I enjoyed it too..
Hi all BTB. I've just had my wedding dinner banquet at Swissotel Merchant Court 2 days ago and would like to share that everything went very smoothly for us!
Lightings, sound system & projector were all great. I love the fact that they have a huge area outside the ballroom for cocktail reception. Such segregation gave a very private & personal touch. My in-laws received a lot of compliments from friends & relatives about the whole dinner too!
The team from Swissotel Merchant Court was fantastic.
Our coordinator, Melissa Png, was very helpful & professional. Whenever I made certain personal requests, she will always try her best to get it done for me. She's also very meticulous. Very fast in replying our emails, and getting everything in order prior to our wedding. To have someone that we can count on to assist us throughout the last 9 months of planning really is a blessing. It gave us a peace of mind, which is super important when you have millions of things going on during wedding prep.
During the dinner, our Banquet Manager was Vincent. He's very friendly, calm & sharp (very very impt). We felt that he really have a great capacity to hold everything together & make it smooth for us. Thumbs up!

Hi all BTBs,
I just had my wedding lunch at SMC last weekend and I would like to share the experience I had!
My hubs and I firstly shortlisted SMC because we wanted an outdoor solemnisation. Swissotel's Merchant Court's poolside gazebo was just right for a nice, cosy solemnisation for family and close friends. The gazebo has ceiling fans, so no worries about feeling warm.
Our co-ordinator/catering manager is Melissa. She is very efficient in follow ups through emails and getting things done, even on her off days! Felt quite bad disturbing her at times.
I was initially apprehensive about the decor and flowers because their given themes didn't suit my wedding theme. Again, Melissa contacted the florist, who very kindly offered to change the flowers to suit our theme. Kudos to the florist!
I believe our banquet manager on that day was Amalina. She was great too! She is very reassuring and handled our whole event well.
The lunch menu was not disappointing either: guests have complimented that the fish was fresh, the wine (their house wine) was good, and the chicken was juicy.
I would strongly recommend SMC to any BTB!

Hi Cescajo,
I just went to SMC last weekend to discussed about the wedding packages and to see the ballroom too. I will be signing up with them next week, am just worried about the weather for the outdoor solemnisation as we need to pay for it. May I know which theme did you use? I understand that they have 3 themes. May I know is it very rush for the solemnisation and tea ceremony? I hope you can advise us on this. Thank you.

Hi Sher1234,
The weather is a risk you have to take. Not sure if you would believe this, but there is a stick an onion and chilli in the ground belief that keeps the rain away. It was actually threatening to rain but we did that, and the weather held up for us till the solemnisation was over. Only when we went in for the tea ceremony did it rain!!! No kidding! Really thank God for that.
Yes, it was a bit of a rush for the tea ceremony and before the banquet. I didn't have time to change into a tea dress, so I wore my white gown all the way till my 2nd change during the banquet. My make up artist also messed up a little, I got delayed and started lunch late. My suggestion is you should either do your tea ceremony at home, or start your solemnisation earlier. Mine was scheduled for 11 am, but my JP was slightly late, so we got delayed a little. You might want to schedule your solemnisation for 10 30. If you don't have much programme in the morning, 11 am is definitely doable. Alternatively, you might want to consider doing your solemnisation on a different day altogether. Then again, it really depends on how many people will be at the tea ceremony. If both your families are small, it should finish pretty fast. Mine took about half hour to 45 minutes.
I chose the Crystal theme.

Hi Cescajo,
Thanks very much for your advice.. I will definitely do that, stick an onion and chilli in the ground. Hope to get a fine weather. I am not sure if I can do my solemnisation so early at 10.30am as the hotel only advice us to do at 11am and then 11.30am is to do tea ceremony. My family members and my SO family members not many.. so I think 30 mins is fine.

Hi,
Intend to book SMC as our wedding lunch in dec 2016. But heard they are doing renovation and the full renovation will be done by 1 oct 2016. As such they are only taking booking after Oct 2016. And if we book we be the first few to experience the newly renovated. However, we do have some concern if any unforeseen circumstances, we were to push forward, they won't be able to held it due to renovation so we still have some thoughts.
Anyone have wedding there in year 2015? care to share?

i'm not holding my wedding at merchant court but i did attended a fren's banquet last weekend. Convenient location, friendly staff who greet guests at the lobby and directing us to the banquet. The recept area just outside the ballroom was big enough for the usuals (recept table, photobooth, canapes). The ballroom is pillarless and can fit about 20 odd tables. Short march in, but good enough. Chinese lunch menu was not bad, especially love the chicken with thai sauce and seabass. Pork ribs was not a favorite on the table, not tasty at all. Banquet staff are attentive as well.
Just my thoughts. Hope it helps a little.
