So they key is to go for majority & general taste buds of your guest and not specific to yourself and family members. That's why you can say food nicer on AD than food tasting coz u already asked chef to adjust to ur taste buds. but this is not in line with general guests taste and hence the bad feedback on food.
poohduh: yups, so far I like her. Just that sometimes she can be quite bz.. wish she cld reply to emails and calls faster. I got my samples of invite cards already (wedding in May) thinking of how to word them, get graphics, etc.
Ok hope my dinner food all turns out good.. think food tasting will be sometime in Jan. Oh does Rasa only have one colour theme for their ballroom?

Raine: Yar she can be quite busy.But then she still dont sound frustrated when you call her, thats the good thing.haha
ohh...the printer side usually have templates of wordings and graphics for you to choose. Are you going to T-dragon? We printed from there but their service sucks. Too much business....amend my artwork dont know how many times..apparently they dont read through first before sending to clients...coz the mistake spotted are simple mistake.
They only let me choose color of flowers and table cloth colors.

Anyone's wedding banquet to be held on 13 Dec?

ZoukOut is organized by Zouk, a popular club in Singapore. The event will be held at Siloso Beach on 13 December 2008, Saturday from 6.30pm to 8am the next day. Thousands are expected to attend this event.
In anticipation of high noise level, ear plugs will be provided for the resort’s guests.

As this is an external event, the resort will not be held responsible or liable for any incident resulting from the inconvenience caused by ZoukOut.

by the way gals, juz a qn. mine would be in jan 2010 do u gals think i sld wait for Mar 09 for their wedding show or i sld juz proceed then ask for perks. And also are they gg to revise their price or juz trying to make us sign up 1st? esp since now we r in a recession....
hi storebelli, I think the perks are the same, they don't vary very much, its just how hard you can push them for it I guess. If you wait till Mar 09, not sure whether you can still get your date in Jan 2010. Usually the bookings are all taken up abt 1 yr in advance. Then again with the situation of the economy, not sure whether Rasa will still be making as much.. then again, people STILL need to get married right?

sun tan i ask dat qn too.. the co ordinator says not confirm yet. but the price confirm go up by $30 next yr per table
hi joyce, in my opinion, i feel is not that gd to have the dinner outdoor as it gets very dark at night and the photos will not turn out as good and the humid weather will make your guests less comfortable. also hard to see what they are eating.
also the outdoor solemization i had witness is not that romantic... or beautiful and is not that worth to pay that price for that site.
I had mine at lobby lounge beside pavilion and it was given to me foc.. and it looks great. not to mention is weather independent but yet open space.

Had a unpleasant experience with making appointments with one of their coordinators. Email dun reply. Call her some long still never call back. Only when I email and forwarded the message to her boss and herself then quickly call back.
I thought 5* hotels have good service, as I experience great service at another 5* hotel and I thought its the norm to be prompt in their follow-ups. Seems like its not the case.
Have already mentally taken this off my list of AD venue because of the lousy service.

hi ptbear, dun be affected by this one time off case. just ask for another coordinator if u want to book with them
i have great feedback from my guests that the food was good and it was a very nice wedding event.
But the main issue is the car park problem which never gets resolved even though i had reserved 12 parking lots, is useless as the security just stop the car from entering even though the car plate appears in their vip list. my vip guest just barged in.. dun care..

xesthir, u mean u can reserve car park lots?
how to? my coordinator simply say we cant reserve lots, its first come first serve basis..
also, can i ask u BTB if you all are renting projectors? I was told that Rasa do not provide projectors and we need to rent them outside! was surprised as a hotel do not provide projectors???

Blissful, i got free rental of projector from rasa as I have specifically wanted this to be included in my contract so is free.
Reservation of lots was given to me, but it was not working very well , probably only 40% can come in. VIP like both our parents n solemnizer n PG n VG are required to have lots.
actualy the car park problem is really a BIG HEADACHE, if u have helpers, pls ask them to come early like 2pm, even if they come at 4pm, car park is full already...for weekends. then u will end up with no helpers. coz they are told to park at merlion!! this is what happened to us, in the end after complaining to coordinator, they were allowed to park inside.
can u imagine they hire a few 'security' just to monitor the car park at sentosa.. it is not really working. and they are still not resolving the problem.
Try to ask your other guests to take the free coaches

xesthir, u are smart! the projector thingy has never crossed my mind at all as i thot it's a standard thing that a 5 star resort hotel under Shangri-La will include the projectors when u book the ballroom!
as for carpark, i've been checking with my coordinator and on my wedding day itself, there isnt any other functions in Rasa. Do you think there will be sufficient lots for my guests?
I had my company function at Rasa few weeks bk, and as my company function was huge (1000+ ppl), the carpark lot was all snapped up by 4+pm. i really feel bad for the couple having their wedding dinner there as we created so much noise and took up all the lots!

ahahah which day was that. my wedding was on 20th Dec.and it was the only wedding of that night. & I think there was some function and heard that carpark was full by 4+pm. .. was it your Co?
Also dec is peak period, usually got car park problem.
not sure if the projector provided by rasa is gd. i think is quite landscape.so if u are providing slideshow.. portrait might be cut off a little. landscape will be better. U doing at pavilion or siloso? mine's at pavilion

omg xesthir, YES YES! hahaha. that was my company!!! we had a huge D&D by the beach, and even though i went early, i couldnt get a lot!
i know urs is at pavilion, and i saw you! you are pretty =)
i told my hubby "the bride is pretty!"
heehee. ur coordinator is lynn right?
Lynn told me that u and your hubby moved up to the lounge as the white fence was too noisy for you to have the solemnisation. my hubby commented that u guys should go to my company ppl and tell them to keep quiet for half an hr so that u can continue to have your solemnisation!
ya dec is peak period, so i'm praying hard that there will be no function or other dinner on my wedding day itself. so far there isn't any other bookings.. keeping my fingers crossed!

hihi blissful. haha. so we were the couple. u saw us at the solemnisation at the lounge or at the pavilion during wedding banquet?
Actually is not true we chose to have it at lounge vs white fence, our initial idea was to have it at the lounge long ago coz lynn told me it was FOC.. white fence need to pay $800. but in the end they tried to charge me $800 still but in the end waive off as i told them they told me it was free, else i would have done it at the function room.
actually was the D&D very loud? hahaha i tell u i was too busy n preoccupied that i didn't hear anything else. hahah.... i am glad it was over.. the food was commented to be good. but i didnt get to taste much also no appetite to eat..
is ur coordinator lynn? when is ur wedding?

my only regrets is that i came down quite late to the lobby area before the wedding banquet and all were seated already.. so i dunnno if i taken enuff photos with that gown...with family n friends. and worse is my PG n VP were missing in action. no idea where they are!
how come my coordinator n yours is the same. but say different things... haha... but i guess is coz coordinator trying to appease us coz we were very upset over some crop up.. when visiting her before the wedding..

Hi All,
I have signed up wif Rasa but only got notified on their wedding show (March 8th) that they might be undergoing extensive renovation. But their plans are not confirmed yet, only by May would they be able to give their concrete plans. Now i'm worried. Should i cancel and demand my deposit back?

hi jasmine, thank you!
anyway, the planner who got in touch with me mentioned that the renovation will be next year (2010). If I'm not wrong, the renovation will not affect weddings.. better ask the ppl there again..

received an email from the hotel telling us that they will be having a major renovation in 2010. the duration of the renovation will only be known by may 2009. so the hotel asked if we would still like to consider having our banquet at the hotel...
finally, my HTB and myself hav decided to drop the hotel as a potential banquet place...
