Hi all Regent brides and BTBs
Just to share some comments re Regent.
I shortlisted Regent for my wedding in Sep 2010. Very impressed with the ballroom, especially since it is on L1, and that there won't be many weddings in 1 night.
The downside is that there is no MRT nearby... so I end up with Marriott...
Would highly recommend Isabelle Wernitz, the catering manager to you. She's really professional, friendly and approachable.

Glad to hear good feedbacks on the food.
I agree that location is not easily accessible. But also cos of it's location, it gives the "exclusive" feelings to most. Quite often dressed-up guests might want to take a cab instead. Also, can consider to charter a bus for guests. This way, most guests especially relatives can come on time. well well well... at the end of the day,its all up to own preferences. But its kind of Cazzie to compliment regent even though its not their final choice. Isabelle Wernitz must have done a good job. Cheers..

Hi
the head chef from Summer Palace, Goh Wooi Cheat, has resigned due to the investigations. Has our food tasting recently and very pleased with the food quality. Met Mr Goh recently and found him very nice and obliging.
Now he has resigned, we are very worried what the quality will be like though.

I have a problem here.
For the AV in the grand ballroom, what format of your songs did you provide to the hotel? Mp3? Audio? If audio, self burnt or original cd?
Any ex-regent wedding couples to advise?

Hi James,
I would say I am very satisfied with both. In fact, my coordinator stayed and opened the door for my 2nd March. The banquet manager & team are very professional. Very comfortable with them.
Hi Foo,
Mine was in mp3 format. I have both self burnt & original CD. Original CD is for march in songs & dish fanfare because these are the impt events that you cannot afford to have any glitch. The compilation for songs to be played throughout the night is self burnt. I have all kinds of back up eg in the laptop, in mp3, original cd, burnt cd. just in case something is wrong somewhere.

Hi Luvz17,
Thank you for reverting.
The AV guy keep insisting they cannot play mp3 format. As we have our own compilation of songs to be played thruout dinner and it only makes sense to have it in mp3 format. We felt he wasn't helpful enough.
We wonder if anyone else who had their wedding at Regent and used mp3 format for the songs too?

I have went to both Oriental and Regent.
Both of their services are really professional. Though i have not met the actual crew but the first impression is very good for both.
If you mention abt the ballroom, i actually prefer Oriental. I fell in love with the ballroom once i stepped into it. But my HB dun like it as he said it is in a fan shaped. So when we march in, there will be curve march in. So he dun like the idea, as in like not a straight path.
At the end, i've choosen Regent over Oriental. One reason is the march in part (HB dun like), another reason is, it is too costly. I pay a little more, i can get Four Season Hotel liao.
Regent's ballroom gives me and my HB a very special feeling. very relax.. although i didn't fall in love, but it was very relaxing. I brought my in laws there and they love it.

This Sat is their wedding show, anybody going?
Hmm I also compared Oriental and Regent, Oriental has a very nice feel on its interior and exterior.. but Regent is nice in its interior. The main thing is, Regent's price is lower.. wahaha.
foo: why not talk to your coordinator and check with her whether it has been done for previous weddings before?

i'm also deliberating over regent, hyatt & oriental! shortlisted these 3, i love the deco themes regent have, and the layout of tanglin room provides for a long, long march in, plus natural daylight w/ glass windows & a smoking area for my guests just outside the room.
BUT my HTB is icky about the couple of pillars by the windows. He says some of the guests won't be able to see the stage and that the room looks old, even after refurbishment. Sighz. Anyone held their wedding in the tanglin room? Any feedback?

Moon: Is Tanglin room the one on the second floor, opposite two small function rooms? If so, I think it's rather special, got windows can see the view (altho I'm not sure where it faces as I only saw it from the door entrance).
Are you holding a wedding lunch? Will be quite bright then!
Actually if you are holding below the maximum no. of tables it can accomodate, im sure you can arrange with the co-ord to avoid the pillars as much as possible..

Hi sweetlove. yup that's the room!
my initial intent was lunch buffet (more hassle free!) now it's gonna be dinner since it's a weekday. Yeah, i like the windows too! Seems that there'll be guests who will be blocked. i've the dimensions of the room and the width is quite narrow. doubt that everyone can see the stage.
well, IMO, that isn't really imp since i won't be spending much time on stage. There's a projector anyway.. but he is fussier la. haha

moon: Hmm yeah, my hubby is also those kind who dont like to be in the spotlight, so I reckon the only times we'll be on stage is when there is the march-in and the toasting of champagne part. Haha..
Must psycho him- location not too bad, package quite good, waiver of corkage etc- all important factors to the cost, which I feel is quite alright. Also dont have to worry about sharing carparks, being in CBD area etc.
Bad point is that people (perhaps more towards the older generation) may not hear about Regent before, but then again, even if you hold in super famous hotel like Shangri-La, its not like they will give you that much extra in angpow?

We've recently had our wedding at Regent. I must say from the day we booked the banquet till our wedding day, the service hasnt been too bad. We were rather happy with the services the hotel rendered. Our coordinator has been wonderful too. Comments on the food was good too.
The only complain we had from our guests was that the dessert portion was way too little. Many said that the portion they had was only enough for one mouthful. Some guests were kind and nice enuff to say that they had two mouthful of dessert that was served to them. After we received several of such complains / comments from the guests, we also checked with the guests at the VIP table and they had the same comment.
We are quite embarrassed that so many of our guests had the same comment. If it was just one or two guests commenting on this, we would have dismissed it. We did feedback on this to the hotel but were only informed that this will be feedbacked to the chef. This aspect, we are quite disappointed. It would have been nice if they could have given us a better explanation of why this happened? So that at least we can explain to our guests too. Its really embarassing for us to face our guests w/o a proper answer to reply.
Anyway, for those of you who are considering Regent, it is worth considering. Just make sure you do take note of the food / dessert portion!
Also, the bridal suite doesnt hv the bridal mood or feeling at all. This is one area that The Regent perhaps can look into improving.

Hi Foo,
Good to hear your wedding went quite smoothly overall. Were your guests full? I just attended a wedding at Pan Pac and there was just so much food till we did not even eat much of the last 2 dishes.
Perhaps you can feedback to your coordinator. Anyway, yes I agree they can decorate it further- at least when they say they give "Four Seasons Service", it extends to all areas, no?

Just attended a wedding dinner at Regent.
Even though we had only 9 people at our table, I also felt that the food was not very enough...considering that half the table were gals.
Service was not very fast too as they seemed under-staffed. Drinks took a long time to be refilled. Some of the food was not very hot as tables were served at diff times due to the lack of staff. Shark fins soup and the mango dessert were tasty I must say.

For us, the service was ok. None of the guests complained so far.
Its only the dessert portion that we had many complains. Still very disappointed with them that they had not bothered to follow up with us on this until now.
