hi babymilk,
i dun like fiona's service lor.
initially, i was under her, then now change already. cos she made a damn big mistake wich causes so much headache for me. luckily, it's resolved now.
i booked my AD with her and they were using manual book to keep track of the taken dates, when they changed to computer system, she actually forgot to key in my booking!!! can u imagine? in the end she called me and tell me that her colleague went to book that date and ask me whether want to change anot.
how frustrating can that get? got to speak to so many other channels to finally got it sort out.
just sharing my story so that all of u out there can be careful when working with fiona.

she can make mistakes... on the day of my soleminzation... it was Felicia who corrected the stereo system for me. Fiona disappeared as she was busy with the other couples... later we saw her crying as Felicia filled us in that Fiona was scolded by one of the couples who had a wedding cocurrently with us

hi Hui, at the moment my HTB only spoke to her once on the fone. i have yet to comment to her abt the 'response time' and was planning to feedback when we meet up.
Hi xiaolaoshu, i read abt ur incident in the previous entries and told myself to be very hard on them abt the date, cos i dun have alternative date to start off with. so now u changed to who? i was actually hoping to get felicia but the coordinator only gave me fiona's contact. so, the sales managers are only felicia and fiona?
hi xiao_xiao, sometimes i dunno whether to pity them a not.

Hi Babymiki...think Fiona was on leave last week but she still manange to respond to our questions via email after she came back on Friday...could it be due to the fact that we have yet to officially sign the agreement??
oh dear...i'm beginning to get worried...
Actually i did encounter some initial frustrations with her regarding the wedding themes...but eventually we brushed it off to "blurness"...and inexperience... she seems to not know alot of stuff e.g. what kind of flowers used for the centerpiece and not even having any pictures on the wedding themes to show us...we have to keep chasing her for them... end up we may opt out of the decor and get some other florist to do it...
Is she going to be our wedding coordinator for the wedding day itself too? I hope she doesn't make any mistakes on that day...

Hi brides of PPR,
I just wanted to compliment Felicia (even though I have never met her).
I was enquiring about the availability of PPR for one of the dates next year and I gathered from her that it was on tenative booking. I was actually thinking of going down to see if the 1st couple decides to release the booking and told Felicia to tell me when they've confirmed whether they are taking it. I am very glad to say that Felicia did call back (to say it was taken..) and I think that's very responsible of her as some places do not do so and I have to call them to ask them.
yup, that's all~

Felicia is very good. I highly recommend her.
For Fiona, it seems she came from some big hotel .. can't remember if it was concord or something and didn't have to do much coordination and stuff... from what i heard from felicia... she only entered the royal park plaza sometime last year or before last...

wt...so glad to hear another good review on the food *relief* 
according to fiona, the food is cooked by the hotel banquet chef who has many years of experience...cantonese cuisine.
Grand PPR food is cooked by sichuan dou hua

wt...when you were at PPR for the wedding dinner, did you notice the decor of the ballroom? Was it nice?

mm...the flip side of getting a cheaper package...
i personally dun think much of the zen and white theme of the hotel... the decor esp the backdrop on the stage looks amatuerish...need to get florist to top up...

hamster (i'm a hamster too..keke)
yep...i did view stamford room before...not bad...small and cosy...but the ceiling is the low type...and no chandelier.. but with the warm lightings, it still look cosy... i'm also gonna use it for my AD
If you like the ballroom with high ceiling and chandelier...more grand...you can check out Grand PPR...they have nice ballroom.
Today there is a wedding at Stamford Ballroom, you can go check it out before 7pm...

Hi All,
I am gonna use the Stamford Room for my AD in Mar 07 too. The low ceiling was a bit of a bother then, but I guess those with high ceilings are too big for me so I didn't mind taking this.
I do like the fact that a part of it looks out to the poolside. I hope they can at least draw the curtains aside if they can't leave the sliding door open then.

huiz...think we met at Silverlining thread too...are you also having your banquet at PPR? What a coincidence...
kaya...yeps...hui is right...PPR has a banquet chef....who whips out cantanese cuisine... sichuan dou hua cooks for Grand PPR.
went to PPR last Sat to see the wedding setup for Stamford Room...not bad...the banquet manager is very efficient, polite and experienced... puts me at ease...and the room lighting is nice...warm and cosy...
There is also a ROM session going on at the foyer at the same time hence the reception was held just outside the ballroom... the buffet spread and the setup by the poolside is nice too...
Not bad at all...

hi Li Ann,
i was also ard on sat to view the ballroom and Fiona attended to me. whens ur AD and which ballroom are u thinkin of using?
Anyway, Fiona told me she was on leave that particular friday when she was supposed to call me to confirm the appt date. She was very apologetic abt it. ya, she did look blur whenever she talk on the phone. so i think anything must tell her face to face.
overall it was good, decorations in the ballroom are quite plain but i'm not really concern abt it.

oops babymiki...paiseh...yeps...carpark coupons are up to 30% only
I have about 30 tables to date...but stamford ballroom can only hold up to 32+2 so nothing more than that. And yeps..12 Dec 2006 is my AD.
Rachel, Kaya... actually most of the items are all provided in the package..i merely "tested water" to see how far she can go. One main reason i manage to get these perks is bcos my AD is on a weekday. Usually they are more flexible for weekday weddings.
I've asked Fiona to rec popular menu or the must-have dishes...am thinking since the food portion is huge, we will order 8-course first and if on the food tasting that day, we feel that it is insufficient then we can add one more... think they will be more than happy to accomodate.
If she get back to me on that menu, i'll share it with you gals
