Hi Everyone,
I had always wanted to hold my wedding in pan pacific as i had friends who got married in the pacific ballroom and i love the set up very much.
The previous wedding coordinator which handle my friend wedding tink is (Yvonne) had left and i was given vincent leng number to call instead.
He did not give me a very good impression cos i call about two weeks ago to meet to look at the venue on weekends but he claim that he is not working and do not offer to meet on other days.i ask also if there is any wedding set up can see, then he told me that this month there is no weddings.
It is also very diffcult to contact him cos halfway thru the line got cut off and when tried to call back, he went out for appointment. I even leave down my number and ask him to return call but did not receive the call from there.
I m sort of offended by wat he say and find that he does not seem to be interested. maybe dunno could be my dates is not fixed at the point as i am still waiting for the geomancy book to be out.
But when we call up hotels around the area and find that they are very aggressive to meet us instead. In fact i was not even considering MM, Conrad, Oriental at all cos of the price is ex.
To my surprise, both me and my partner love MM after seeing the place even though the price is much more higher. We just feel that the coordinator service there is prompt and very detailed in the package & we had signed up with them instead. Comfortability and chemistry with the coordinator is important as they are representing the hotel image. I really cant imagine if i signed with Pan Pacific and with Vincent Leng attitude, dont know if he can handle my wedding well. I do not wish to have another stress.
Just my personal opinions to share with the brides to be ya...

Heya, I'm considering Pan Pac too. But price abit steeper than my current alternative, Hyatt.
Has anyone see the Bridal Suite for Pan Pac? able to give comments? Also anyone knows if they will they be having any wedding fairs?

i feel their suite is quite normal. not too high up, they will give u around lvl 33 onwards to lvl 38 i think (depending on availability).
Its a 2 room suite, and decorated with roses. more to cosy style.
Its views arent fantastic, coz it overlooks some roofs of suntec if i remember correctly.
1 good or bad thing is, the additional deluxe room for the helpers is always beside the bridal suite, so your helpers can find u easily. And you can also direct visitors to the helpers room, so as not to mess up your bridal suite. hee

Cherubie> I have talked to Diana a few times. And she seem to be a very nice lady & good.
Cos i email my AD program sheet to her to view & check for the timing & flow of the whole dinner plus my additional live entertainment thingy.
She took the trouble to view it and let me know her comments.
I am meeting her this coming wed to touch base & ask her a few more things.
Great is i prefer to work with lady then man for wedding. hahaha.....

Hi all, sorry for the delayed reply..we've finalised in getting the pacific ballroom after a little hiccup..the next thing coming up is to go for the food tasting..headache-don't know who to ask to go to fill up a table of 10!!
I was told the price for dinner banquet has gone up and no longer published in NETT value..
I must say Linda is a very good coordinator and knows her stuff very well..therefore, whoever needs to liaise with a coordinator do look for her..
Sometimes, the coordinator are very busy when you call them and they may not leave a good impression behind..but when you meet them face to face, they are very nice and accomodating!
Still undecided on the theme..each has its good!!

- wine corkage waived if possible. i only managed to get 20 bottles extra wine corkage waived.
- free wines per table
- how many barrels of beer included
- nights of stay. preferable 2 nights
- projector connector - you need the connector for the 2 projectors to be synchronize.
- minimum tables limit and maximum
- parking coupons
- cancellation charges
thats all i can think of for now

My HTB went to find you long zi cal the good dates for us.. and to my disappointment, these good dates are not longer available. hai.... dunno to take 11th dec which is still available but is not a good date for us to marry on this date...
Any advice whether to ignore the "bad date" as predicted by the master?

Vincent is our coordinator and we were pretty impressed by his service and attitude when we went to look ard the hotel and sign up the package. He was very accomodating to all our requests and very prompt in getting back to us with our requests and enquiries.
I just believe everyone has different expectation when it comes to customer service. For us, we just want our concerns to be properly addressed and we must feel that we are in good hands. Which we definitely think we are. =)
So don't worry too much and just concentrate on being a beautiful bride. Everything will turn out perfect.

Teresa, are u sure that marina mandarin is more costly than pan pac?? when i was booking my banquet, marina mandarin was 1038nett and pan pac was 1088++(1242 after taxes)...so i think it depends on the timing...it's quite unfair to say that of another hotel...it's almost like u came in here to badmouth pan pac. for pricing wise, do u know that hotels can command higher prices for auspicious dates and also give lower rates for cold dates?
Hi gals, I have chosen medieval theme for my banquet dinner..however the choosing of colours for the table cloth and chairs is really a headache as I do not want all black for table cloth and chair...any suggestions on the colour? Or has anyone viewed the Medieval theme with diff colour apart from all black.I am open to all suggestions
Thanks!

teresa, i totally agree with candyrock...i compared the prices around almost all the hotel in city hall area and i am very sure that panpac is one of the steeper ones... initally we wanted to take MM as the prices are in nett...but in the end we stick to PanPac bcoz we REALLY love the pacific ballroom thou it cost qoute abit more...
so i guess u check ur price qoute first before u post such a comment as i think u mihgt offend quite abit of ppl.

my coordinator is Rosalinda...and i have to say, she is really bery nice and pretty efficient...i had a great time working with her...
michelle> the medieval theme is the red and black one right? i like it too. personally i feel if you want to change anything for it, it should be changing the shade of red to a brighter red. The current red color is too dark and therefore doesnt have a strike contrast. Because having the black table cloth is one of its unique theme. Thats how i feel about it la.
andrea> mine is Rosalind too
i feel comfortable working with her too

I have chosen Divine Elegence for my theme with gold table cloth. Chosen my door gift too. I have chosen the mug. They are so lovely.
Did anyone chose the mug too?
I meet up my new chosen co-ordinate Miss Diana.
She is a very lovely gal.
Guess what? She turn out to be my ex-school mate. Singapore so small, right? Hahaha.....

apple> I chose the exact same thing with you....gold table cloth and mug! I wonder if the candles are too short along the aisle? think the decor still looks abit sparse
Hi Kelly, dont think I will have black table cloth. Will have black chair cover instead..all black will make the whole place look too dark. Unless Pan Pac has chandelier lights hahaha then the whole place will brighten up abit under the romantic orange lights...a pity there's no chandelier lights at Pan Pac.
