Hi tkl and Hui,
Thanks for the advices.I have looked for her. she is quite willing to let me view the setup on 11 Aug 07 and discuss abt the banquet packages
Earlier, Mey was the person who liaise with me but she later did not get back to me on the possible dates that i could come down.
Could I ask u what are the perks that i can ask for?
For those using PPR, will u recommend this hotel as the banquet venue?

Sockie: My AD went on fine. My floor manager was pretty good. But I don't have a good experience with the management. I think many here attest to that. The best I've heard from others so far is Felicia. So if you keep with Felicia it should be fine. But then again, things change. This is an industry with a very high turn over rate. So she might just leave you won't know.
Honestly, I would caution against using this hotel. that's just my personal comment. The rest can give their feedback.

hi hui, who was ur last coordinator
Sockie: misunderstandings, misrepresentations, misinformation...u named it we probably have encountered it with the management. In short, they REALLY need to work on their people skills. Also, they don't seem to have a proper protocol in working with clients. Or maybe its just my coordinator.
Sockie, my husband's advice to you is to look for somewhere else if you haven't confirmed a place. There are many better places out there.

Hi Hui,
Thanks for ur advices. I have informed my bf abt it, but he said that he would still want to view the setup and discuss first.
Do u mind pm me ur coordinator too, and what are some examples of misunderstandings, misrepresentations and misinformations tat u are saying? so that i will be wary of that during the discussion.

Hi Sockie: Maybe I'm PM u after a while cos I am in the midst of settling some stuff with them now.
Most importantly whatever that you want, or have conversed with your coordinator, write it down in black and white, via email or on ur contract, to prevent misunderstanding and misinformation.

Hi Hui,
It's ok, dun need to PM me, but i feel it may be good to let pple in the forum know who is the coordinator so that pple will be wary of using him/her
Think i m not considering PPR as my choice of wedding banquet venue, after hearing Hui and ur hubby's advices
Hui, i hope u can settle the matter soon with the hotel.

Hi Doreamon:
- Aircon not really a problem at my AD. Well at least I didn't notice it and there was no complain. I guess they rectified it.
- Service of waiters and waitresses were good. Its the management that I have lots of problem with.
- I didn't use the red wine deal, I took the free flow beer. No wine was served at my dinner cos mostly my parents' friends who do not really drink.
- Once you've signed the contract, no more freebies already. This is across the board even with other hotels.
- I printed my card inserts from Tdragon, the hotel vendor. I ended up printing my church invites from them too. They are very good and very reasonably priced. I would strongly recommend them.
When is your AD doreamon?

Doreamon:
I hope things will turn out fine for you. I called them to arrange cos I had mine quite early, dad was flying off to somewhere for a few months before my wedding so we needed to have it earlier.
The problem with management was quite trying. I have been quite upset with them. I will PM u the reasons why. If you need more clarification can PM me and we can chat. The bridal suite was nice. I enjoyed the night there.
I didn't use the signature book cos we had a canvas scroll from the bridal studio. The signature book is so so. Normal type. But we didn't fancy that kind of book so got our own stuff.

qianqian> yah both the ballroom have pillar.. but i think stamford 1 is special cos it have a staircase so i think it might be a bit different from the other ballroom and u might be able to do something different for yr march in with the stairs.. but if u got more tables than u have to chose Plaza leh.. also can try to ask the co-or to arrange the table not close to the pillar so that it will not block yr guest view

Actually Qian Qian concern is quite valid. Cos if there are two wedding tat day,the foyer will be super packed with peoples. And there's no indication of ballroom (plaza or stamford) on the Ballroom door or whatsoever.Some people don't look at LCD screen one. Somemore the LCD screen not very BIG wor!hehe. Worried some of my blur guest might just walk to the wrong recep table and drop the APs to the wrong APs Box.By the time they realise..the APs is inside the other couple APs box! Haha. I think need to get a few usher to standby at the entrance and give help to "blur" guests.
Btw girls..Plaza ball room march in is shorter, but you can use two entrance as march in, groom enter from left entrance and bride enter from right entrance..both meet centre and walk to stage together..this will prolong the march in. We are doing tat.

pink piglet, im not going for wedding show cos my AD will be in dec'07. i find it nth much to see aly. haha. i rather spend the time to tie strings to my invitations...hell job.
i dont think they will have 2009 package,what they will tell you is use 2008's package and any price increase, they will absorb.
I think the wrong ballroom one, i think its not that bad, ppl will normally look for familiar faces once they reach such places.

Hi all.
My wedding just over..i had very unhappy experience with their Technician. Just some advise for some brides where your wedding is near.Its better tat you ladies prepare a extra DVD player as a back up if you gona use DVD to play ur montage/highlights.We were told tat their DVD player cannot WORK at tat very day!!Lucky we keep copy in our back up labtop...so we are no choice to use our labtop to play the montage and express highlights.However our labtop is quite slow type (PIII) and ram not fast enuf, we request them to help us by lent us a labtop and they told us they HAVE NO LABTOP! AND THEN Their problem become our PROBLEMS liao!! Their Technician also have no intitaive to link up our labtop with the projector.ALL DONE BY MY OWN BROTHER. End up our montage dunno why become jerky and a the verge of hanging during the playing the montage!Then our Express highlights was force to played from our videographer videocam directly !!!Worst scenorio is when the express highlights was played..the technician never link up the 2nd projector! The technician and the management still tell us we never told them to do so?!! OMG they have NO COMMON SENSE???????????
So ladies..pls ensure you do up all your Contingency plan as the technician there is not helpful and have no intiative at all! Pls test many times and check many times before hand.I am still very upset till today...and i din enjoy my day at all!! Then during banquet we also face alot of problems...If need more details. PM me.
