[babymarian]

Hello Glamourous

Thank you very much!
Nope, I will be holding my holy matrimony and a small banquet dinner there. How about you?

 

[glamourous2309]

Hi Marian,

Likewise. Both solemnisation and banquet at the hotel. =)

 

[angieng2]

Anyone knows what is the deposit required for Shangrila

 

[babymarian]

Hello Glamourous

That's really great! Congratulations to you!!

Dear Angie

The deposit required is 25% of the estimated total costs.

 

[angieng2]

Hello Marian

Thanks for the information.

Are you holding your dinner there too. What are the freebies that you have negotiated?

I understand that you have to pay another 25% 2 months before the wedding. Is this true?

 

[babymarian]

Hello Angie

I'll be holding my dinner there too.

We have negotiated for canapes before the commencement of dinner, food savouring (I did not have that as part of my package), upgrading of my room.

We are currently negotiating for free flow or apple/orange juices and additional and changes of dishes in our menu (these are not free).

Hmmm...I'm not too sure about that. I will be meeting Melanie on Thursday. I will ask her about that and I will get back to you about it.

 

[angieng2]

oh yours is melanie. I emailed them and mine is under Nelly.

I have not met up with them to negotiate on the freebies yet.

BTW which menu you took?

 

[babymarian]

Hello Angie

Oh...I am taking their private collection menu at the pavilion. How about you?

 

[angieng2]

I am looking at the normal weekend package.

Have not make a appointment to meet them yet. so guess have to do that soon

Hi Marian,

[babymarian]

Hello Michelle

Congratulations to you!!

I totally agree that Melanie is such a lovely person. My AD is on 15th January 2011. How about yours?

 

[babymarian]

Hello Angie

Yup, it will be good to make an appointment with them to see the rooms and ballrooms.

 

[mille0702]

Hi Marian,
Oh they allow you to book so early ah.Coz some hotels only allow you to book one year in advance.
Mine will be 23 January 2010.

 

[babymarian]

[sinplyme]

hi,
any shang btb's coordinator is named serene?

was wondering if she will be generous with perks and stuff? =)

 

[sinplyme]

Hi angie,

read that your wedding coordinator is nellie.
u've met her? any comments on how's she?

thanks

 

[angieng2]

Hi Sinplyme

Ya i met her once. A pretty nice person and will explain the package to you. But i think in terms of negotiation, Melaine gives a better package

 

[sinplyme]

i see... haven't met her yet cos she just came back from vacation.

what did u ask for and what did she offer? mind to share... if not u can pm me..
thanks!

[sinplyme]

thanks

 

[wedee]

shangri-la wedding dinner package valid till Jun 2010 ( weekend package ) is available. Anyone interested , pls email Cheryl @ [email protected].

 

[sinplyme]

wow, seems like this thread is quiet..

hi all ex-Shang or Shang-btb,
besides the usual perks like car passes, increased invitations, what other perks can u negotiate for?

How's the food review?

Angie >> what other perks did u manage to get from Nellie? She seems quite strict in negotiating except for the common ones like car passes and invitations...


thanks

 

[princessemma]

Hi everyone,

I've got a friend whose interested in the Tea
Reception package for Shangrila.

Anyone has tried the food before? was it ok?

 

[yomeishu]

ya, I heard from my friend who wanted to hold their wedding at Shangri la but due to Nellie replied them by taking a long time plus she seems not very initiative on the package negotiation, so in the end they rather take fullerton.

 

[sinplyme]

hi qwerty,

thanks for your info.
but it's all too late cos i already signed with shangri-la and i will probably speak to her personally regarding this.

 

[yomeishu]

hi sinplyme,

Nellie is your coordinator? How's she?

 

[sinplyme]

yupz, that's right, she's my coordinator.

i rather not comment on her for now, need to talk to her 1st to find out more.

 

[yomeishu]

yeah, better talk 1st else it's unfair to her

 

[newbie81]

Any1 has Jennifer as their coordinator? Keep seeing Melaine but no Jennfier... wonder if she is good with giving perks....

 

[sinplyme]

hi newbie,

i think Jennifer is only handling the admin stuff, helping out the events coordinator...
Maybe you want to find out more from herself?

 

[theluvgal]

Dear All

I am deciding between Shang & FS(4seasons).

As i have only 25 tables. I would need to take either wedding lunch @ Shang or Wedding Dinner @ FS.

Has anyone holds wedding lunch @ Shang?
How was it? Can someone please kindly share your experience with me?

Thanks!

 

[tinng]

Hi, i would like to know around how much is the price per table in shangri-la for wedding dinner?

 

[babymarian]

Hello Tinng

Their pricing is as follows for 2010:

Private Collection $138.00++ or $168.00++ per person

Weekday $1008.00++ per table of 10 guests

Weekend $1138.00++

Gold $1488.00++

Platinum $1888.00++

 

[newbie81]

So how is Nellie? I may be getting her as my wedding coordinator and looking at the thread, i am getting nervous too.

 

[maoushroom]

Hey Newbie, think Nellie is on maternity leave. Jennifer is assisting her. Is Nellie your confirmed coordinator? I'm meeting Jennifer next next week.

Simpleme> the food at Shang wedding banquet is decent. Service is fine as well. At least that was how I felt when I attended the wedding banquet at Shang

 

[sinplyme]

Hi Newbie,

I haven't met other coordinators at Shang so there's no basis for comparison with other coordinators.

All i was told/understand is that earlier on, Nellie was busy with the weddings (since it near year-end) and clearing the work on hand before she goes on maternity leave.
As for the rest I'm not too sure liao cos I'll only liaise with her again mid next year.

 

[newbie81]

maushroom: havent signed their contract yet. But i asked who would be assigned to be my WC and Jen told me Nellie, but on maternity leave.

sinplyme: How's your exp? She generous with perks? or still havent met.

Thanks!

 

[sinplyme]

Hi Newbie,

I've met her a few times.

I would say whatever I have requested for, is the usual "standard" requests, e.g. increase in parking & invitations, (free flow beer not incl. cos i was told not their hotel policy, i think it was stated in some of the earlier posts in this thread so I didn't try to pursue any further on this) and she did it for me.

I suppose they are prepared to give u all these since it's quite "standard" other hotels would accommodate to when requested upon.

As for other requests, like anniversary stay, I haven't tried it yet. My sister is encouraging me to ask for this. Let me know if you managed to get it yea~ (via PM also can, if u are more comfortable that way).

 

[lingz_27]

Hi there!

I have emailed Shangri-La Hotel a few days ago but no reply so far.

Can anyone provide me with the email address of Melanie so that I can contact her directly?

Thank you in advance!

 

[mille0702]

Hi Lingz,
[email protected]

They are very busy.I also always wait quite sometimes for reply.

Look for melanie,she is super nice.Generous in giving perks.

 

[lingz_27]

Thank you, Michelle! They finally got back to me. Cant see that Melanie is really busy.

What kind of perks do couples usually ask for? Can you share? I am meeting Melanie tonight!

 

[lingz_27]

*Can see that Melanie is really busy
