Raffles Town Club

Fugecake,

I love the pillarless ballroom too and the pte and large recept area is also a WOW :-)

Mine is on 18th Nov 07, yours?

I'll be meeting Judy on 27th. May I know what are the perks you got during the fair and what are the things that I can negotiate for. Can email me at [email protected] ?

Really appreciate that, thanks in advance! :-) Which BS you with? I'm a sophia btb :-)
 


Hihi Kitty

mine is on 9 June 07. I heard they will be having the wedding fair in feb or march next yr and the list of perks under the wedding fair includes 10% off, 10% more cards, corkage waiver and additional nite stay. Will email u the complete list of perks once i get the contract from hubby.

I am with Yvonne Creative.
 
hey fudgecake,

Thanks for your email! Really appreciate your effort ;-) Btw does RTC have any wedding theme?

Signing up for the package during the wedding show seems much better! But not sure if the date I want will be taken by then cos mine is year end.

Thanks for your email! Happy preparing for your wedding!

Cheers
 
hi fudgecake
Would you be able to send me the perks you got during the fair and the stuff that are negotiable as well? My email is [email protected]. Thanks!

I am thinking of signing up with RTC bliss wedding package in Oct 07
 
hihi kitty.

No problem. RTC has the spring, summer, aumtumn and winter themes. Just sent u a link to my multiply account to view the themes

Let me know if u cannot see or access to the link.
 
hihi wola

The bliss package is the high tea package rite? Think the perks might be slightly different from the wedding dinners one. I just sent u the email on the perks I got. Sent u the links to the themes too.

Hope it helps.
 
Yo Fudgecake,

Thanks for the links! Now, I've a much better idea what to expect visually :-)

May I know the 10% off that you got during the wedding show, is it for per table or total bill?
Is there a min number of tables required to enjoy the 10% off?

Thanks and cheers!
 
fudgecake
Thanks alot for your email. Yep, i am thinking of signing up for the hi-tea package for church solemnisation.

I suppose the perks should be different but can use as a reference, as I am still thinking whether to hold the wedding dinner at RTC.

who is your current coordinator? Is it the Manager, Judy? She sound unfriendly over phone. Sigh
 
hi yhh,

same experience here too. she sounded so unfriendly...

i'm kinda worried cos the staff turnover rate seems very high from wat i gathered
 
Kitty - for the 2 times I talk to Judy, i felt quite irritated..But I have not met her in person, hopefully, she is more friendly in person...

And I have quite bad experience with RTC on the booking of date. I repeated ask Judy to block off a date for me, but it seem that she did not do it. Could be due to the hand-over from Jandy to her
 
hihi wola and kitty,

I more worried than the both of u as I keep seeing my wedding changing hands every 2/3 months
sad.gif
I heard that RTC is booked fully every weekend till Jan 07 and so far, had not heard any major complaints in this forum.

Have not dealt with Judy before and I am not sure she is my co-ordinator after Jandy's departure. How many co-rodinators are there in total?

for the 10% discount at the bridal fair, u just need to meet the minimum number of tables ie 30/35 tables for weekday and 40 for weekends. It is 10% per table. Beer, alcohol, corkage charges are excluded.
 
Wola,

I've had the same experience as you. Had spoken with Judy on several occasions and i really do not like her attitude at all. she had those take it or leave it attitude.

Jandy was totally the opp! so friendly!! Although i really like the ballroom and reception area, with her kind of attitude, i going to be looking at other venues!!!!
 
Hi champ

Jandy has actually prepared a proposal on hi-tea buffet and a small dinner gathering for me. But judy now said the price for dinner in my proposal does not apply and said should be higher. ARGH

I should be taking RTC for the hi-tea buffet(bliss package) at least, despite her attitude. As the bliss package is one of the most reasonably priced (I do not have a lot of budget to play around with), and not many hotels/places do hi-tea buffet for church solemnisation.

when is your wedding? if you have the time, can really look around for other venues..
 
Wola, Me too have gotten the contract from Jandy. Just waiting to go down to pay the deposit and sign the contract. My wedding is in Dec07 but the few dates that i'm looking at were mostly taken up. I've checked with Sheraton and Merchant court. Orchard hotel is out becoz my sis just had her wedding there.

Any recommendation? i'm looking at ard 35 tables on weekends.
 
Champ
Sorry, cant able to give you any suggestion, as I did not do much research on dinner banquet, as I only am planning to have a small dinner gathering for 8-12 tables.

Anyway, Jandy only prepared a proposal for me, not contract. I am going to meet Judy next week to draw up the contract. Dun understand why Jandy gives me a proposal instead of contract

If after meeting Judy in person, my BF and I are still not comfortable with her, we may source around for a church to do our solemnisation.
 
Hi gals,

The thread has been quiet for some time. Anyone met up with Judy?

I heard there'll be a wedding on 20th Jan. Hee...those who're interested can take a peek on that day :-)

Anyone booked RTC for banquet on 11th Nov 07?
 
so far... the wedding dinners at RTC are okie. It is just the co-orinators' attitude that needs improvement.

SP... how abt grand corpthone, regent, amara, pan pac etc... i think they can take 35 tables.
 
Hi everyone....have been looking through the thread and realised everyone had the same BAD experience with Judy. I totally agree. Spoke to her a few times over the phone and met her in person once. She is totally unfriendly and can I say RUDE over the phone....in person still ok...rather "aunty type" though...
The thing is RTC is offering me our first choice wedding date in Oct07. Have another offer by Merchant court on 2nd choice date....now i am seriously considering letting go of RTC cos cannot imagine how my big day is going to be if her attitude is still like dat...
Has anyone heard about the food quality at RTC as well? any comments?
well...the few big plus points of RTC are the pillarless ballroom, great recept and fantastic bridal suite....we went to see the room. Its real nice =)
 
haha... wonder if we can call up/email the management to reflect the concerns over the service quality.

So far, the food at RTC is supposed to be not too bad.

I have yet to formally speak to Judy. My previous co-ordinator is Jandy. Any other co-ordinators besides Judy?
 
Hi gals
I have met up with Judy in person. She is nice and friendly when you talk to her in person. She sound totally different compared to talking to her over the phone.

Maybe she is the kind that do not like to converse via phone, that why she sounds so rude.
 
hi Wola.... I'm glad you feel more comforatable talking to her in person! You prob may be right....but well...maybe bcos i work in the service industry too so i expect a min standard for services i receive, esp from these kinda places....ya know....=p
 
Hi,

I've checked with novotel clark quay and Swissotel MC. the 4 dates i'm looking were all booked. the rest like regent/pan pac were all way out of my budget.
So i've decided to go ahead with RTC.

Met up with Judy yest in person to pay the deposit. She's quite ok although still not as friendly as Jandy. But well, I guess still acceptable. Hope that everything will turn out alrite.
 
hihi meow ling,

Just dropped u an email on the perks. Just take note that mine is a wedding dinner and not sure whether it will be applicable to the bliss package.

If i remembered correctly, u can get $5 off the wedding bliss package per guest (min 100 guest) if u sign up during the wedding fair. Can try to see if she is willing to do so for yours. Alternatively, can ask them to hold the date for u and u can sign up during the wedding fair in March to get the perks.
 
hihi,

was digging through my notes and found the perks that was offered during the last bridal fair in April.

$5 off the wedding bliss tea pkg per guest (min 100)

Complimentary additional one nite stay for wedding

Complimentary use of LCD projector

Additional 5% of wedding cards for guests

$100 F&B voucher

Waiver of corkage charge for wine and champagne

One complimentary lunch buffet for 2 at RTC cafe the following day of wedding

10% discount for Lemon Blossom and Orange Blossom Package (Must meet the pre-requsite package)

They are quite flexible with additional cards and free car passes. See if u can negotiate that in your contract.
 
Dear all,

I am considering RTC for my wedding in April 2008. Saw their package and seems quite comprehensive. I more concerned about the ballroom decoration. Anybody can share your experience?
 
Hi Fudgecake,

After reading the thread, I'm also interested in RTC packagae, could you drop me an email on the package u got during the previous wedding fair. Do you know when is the next wedding fair?
My email : [email protected]
 
hihi eeOo,

drop u an email. I heard that the next wedding fair is in March. Mabbe u can call to find out and update the rest of us here.
 
HI ladies,
anyone had hold their ROM at RTC?
I be having mine in fed 07.
Still deciding on the High tea menu.
IS the food good? Do i have to order more to make sure everyone has more than enough to eat since it's a high tea only?
 
hihi... do u gals think RTC will give free passes to the couples that signed up for their wedding show? feel like going to check out the decorations and themes. any one going? pls pls pls take some pics and post it up to share.

hihi snoowy : u should go to the wedding fair to check out the decor and display for high tea and get the perks that they offer at the fair.
 
Hi fudgecake,
i heard that the fair is in march, but my rom is in feb. so a bit late.
There is min decor for my function room, they mention if needed, i can add in myself.
Not much time left, and min budget, think got to make do with it.
 
hi snoowy, hmm... rather late.... are u using the function rooms or the main ballroom? if the main ballroom, the ballroom itself looks okie with min decor. Anyway, save on ROM and spend more $$$ on AD

Hi snoowy, I juz had my ROM at RTC... no worries the service is very good and attentive.... and I am a very happy bride...
happy.gif

Let say you have 33 pax coming u can juz order 30 pax cos I got a lot of leftover food..
 
Hi Hi,

I had my ROM last Nov.. Jandy was great and the service there fantastic. The food was nice and we got alot of leftovers.

Hmm, we had about 60pax but ordered only 50pax in the contract. Snoowy, hope this will help.
 
hihi ladies,
thanks for the info!
my pc was down past few days. So only able to read ur msgs now.
I shd have read earlier, cos i actually more food for my pax....left over a lot!
The wedding planner was pretty new, so a bit blur.
Was not very satisfied with the over all service, but glad that my guests liked the food.
that's the most impt!
happy.gif
 
Hi,

I am also considering RTC for my ROM and AD as well. Maybe I'll make a trip to the wedding fair on 11 March 07 to take a look first. May I know what number to call to sign up for the fair?

Thank you!
 
hihi mae... mind leaving your email... i have the details which they emailed me. i can forward them to u. the email includes the registration form. if not convinient to leave your email, u can pm me.

cheers
 
Hi Xiao Jie,

If you had 60pax but only state 50pax in the contract, won't they only provide you seating arrangement for 50pax? Then where the other 10pax is going to sit?

Also, what are the decor provided? Is there any flower arrangements on the bride's and stage's table?

I also planning to have my ROM at RTC in Aug 07.

hi forever bliss,
i just had my rom there.
are u having ur ROm at the private function room?
if it is, then same as mine.
They provide me with seats according to my no of guest.
I think you can ask then for extra seats, but the function room not very big thou.
Not much decor thou, but i like the flowers provided on the stage table and the cover of the seats.
I was told that you can add in your own decor if u want, but got to do it yourself
sad.gif
.
Overall, the place is nice.
Hope these help.
 
Hi snoowy,

I am having it at the ballroom due to the no. of people I am inviting. I have visited the place and found the place to be nice too. But so far I am not really sure what decor they will provide me. All I know is that there will be red carpet for me to march in and seat covers with ribbon. I am also quite concerned with the flower decor but since you mentioned you like the flowers provided, I am more reassured.

Btw, who is your sales coordinator? You mentioned she was quite new and blur? Was afraid it might be the same person I contacted.
