My AD is Dec 2006 but I signed the contract in 2005. Basically, I managed to squeeze 20% parking lots, Denny throw in one free table if we get 19 tables from the hotel. This one we didnt ask. He just gave it to us. Probably, my hb and I are the 'chop chop' couple. We like and we signed the contract. Haha. According to Denny, only couples who signed up during bridal exhibtions enjoy the free table thingy. So my hb and I saved $600+. The others are the basic stuff such as free corkage, red carpet, projector, late checkout subjected to availability of the room.. etc etc.
The rest are included in my package, like free flow of beer, free ivory seat covers, wedding flavours for all guest ..............My package is the 2005 one. Doesnt include ang pow box.
Denny is quite a nice person. He is a straightforward person. He will not hesitate to give his opinions if he thinks that what the couple wants is not practical. (But some couples may not like it.) We waited for him at the lounge during our first meeting. However, there was a wedding on that day and we waited 45 minutes for him. Whatever we had at the lounge was put under his tab. Our second meeting was to neg and sign the contract. He picked the tab too and gave my hb free parking.

yah, my first impression of him wasn't good coz he made us wait for about 30 mins.. he was talking to 2 guests though he knew that we were waiting..
i guess am upset coz was very hungry and wanted to get it done asap.. hungry men are angry men right.. now i know..should go and eat first
do u know if there's a bridal exhibition coming up soon? we compared 4 hotels, hyatt, rendezvous, traders and carlton --> rendezvous seem to give the best deal though a bit concerned with the staff allocation -- 2 waiters to 3 tables.
prob will ask Denny : how much to do ROM, whether he can increase to 10 people for food tasting, free wine for each table ...

red088,
I dont think he can provide free wine. In fact, I hardly hear of hotels providing free wine. Usually its free beer. You are much better than us. We waited for 45 minutes! And parking in the hotel is $5/hr. Thank god, he paid for whatever we consumed in the lounge. My hb had beer and I had tea. That came to close to $20!
Denny brought us to view our suite. In fact, I was abit surprised as the first thing he did on our first meeting was not to discuss the perks, contract etc. He brought me to look at our suite! Very nice. Overlook the swimming pool and comes with adjointed kitchen, living room and bedroom. Its about the size of a 3 rm flat! He promised me that he will give me that suite provided its not taken on my AD. Otherwise, he will give me another suite on the top floor.
Dont know if there is a bridal show. I didnt attend any bridal shows leh. He just automatically give me 1 free table, just like what we will be getting if we signed up on bridal shows. Now comparing with the other brides who approached him, I think he is quite nice to offer so many extras without us asking. Hahahaha. Anyway, you should take a look at their menu. I think its quite good, compared to the other wedding dinners I have attended.
Actually, throughout my dealings with Denny, (Im not advertising for him hor), I find him quite okie. When I told him I wanted to change my menu cuz I may want abalone for the guests. He told me that he will try his best to check with his chef and if possible, he will try not to increase the price per table for me. Actually, what I wanted was one abalone for each guest and I am ok if I need to pay extra.He told me to confirm with him asap so that he finalised the price per table and sign the contract. Actually, he did that to safeguard my interest (according to him la) because he did not want to promise me a fixed price and if in 2006, he is no longer working there, he is afraid the other coordinaters may jack up the price.
tweetie,
My perks are basically what other brides will be getting if they signed up. Free flow of beer, ivory seat covers, cocktail, supper, fresh flower deco, wedding flavours for all guest for my AD etc etc. Sorry cant remember them off hand.
The other perks are 20% parking, free corkage, red carpet, projector, 1 free table. But u have to take note I signed the contract more than 1 yr before my AD. Usually, if I am not wrong, hotels will be more willing to give u more perks if u can confirm with them early.

red088,
Ahahaha..maybe he is really busy. For me, he specifically told me to go down on a particular saturday when a couple was getting married. He took us to view the done-up ballroom too.
Chezz,
Only 1 night stay. Tried to bargain with him but he refused. But the hotel do offer 50% off if we wish to stay for another night, which means its $250 off leh. We didnt bargain for additional night stay cuz my hb and I reckon that by the time we have our AD, we should have $30K extra after paying for the reno and we should have left over money to spent a night at some other 5 star hotels. Food-tasting for 8 people as stated in the contract.

I ROMed 1.5 years ago and we paid $18K for the reno during that time. So we saved all over again for the wedding dinner. Dont want to depend too much on the angpows.

thanks tweetie ... did you guys have any luck in totally revamping the menu e.g. change sea cucumber to abalone?
denny mentioned that we can have the food tasting as early as we want e.g. ti qing but if the time period between food tasing and AD is too far apart, will the chef still remember our comments? I'm very worried about the food...

Why do u want to revamp the menu? Unless u have been to other dinners before and u want an identical dish.

Hi All
we are considering hotel rendezvous for our wedding dinner beginning next yr. I've not gone to view the ballrm yet. From the website, the packages seems very attractive in terms of price and menu. Any feedback on the food and service??

Hi Chelsa,
Hmm, wonder hv you MTM all your gowns yet?
Hi Judy & Mdm Heng,
Actually u can contact Denny to arrange for an appt to view the ballroom, bridal suite and go through the package. Think the package has increased abit in 2006, probably $688 (quote in 2005) plus $30 or $60. His no. is 96342783 or 63351780, a very flexible, accomodating guy which my hubby & me are very pleased with him.
I remembered there is a recent wedding on 29th Apr when we went to meet up wif denny abt the invitation cards, but i din bring my camera that time, wat a waste !! Anyway, everytime I went there, the ballroom looks cozy and romantic to me, and the feeling of excitement comes back immediately !!

Hi Mdm Heng,
U're welcome. I have converted my dinner package to an afternoon event as i am catching a plane in the same night for my honeymoon.
If i remembered correctly, for dinner, perks are not bad, coz last yr hv a wedding show and i manage to hv a bottle of wine for every confirmed table, waiver of corkages, food tasting is 8 ppl instead of 6 ppl. I heard from other forum friends that some manage to ask for an additional nite stay, but i din ask for that coz i feel denny is already alot more flexible & accomodating than eilxxn, he understand the couples' needs and try to make ur wedding a happy one, coz actually i change coordinator from eilxxn to denny, so i dun feel like asking him for too much. Maybe u can read this thread old archives for what kind of perks others hv.
Hope this help!
Regards,
butterflies

Hi all BTB,
I'm also interested in holding my AD there in Oct '06. But not too sure about the prices for weekends and whether they cater for 6-8 tables. Can anyone please give me some feedback? Am I too late to book??
