Shangri-La's Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa

Hi totoro,

I am Mar brides. Ok, i try to describe the wedding card to you guys when i see it.

My advise is to keep in close touch with ypur coordinator and drop emails to them. Like Ethel, I contacted her via emails and she responded quite promptly.

Most likely, we have arranged to meet next fri so will let you guys know. I contacted her coz maybe I am getting anxious

Oh about the giftaways, i recently heard they have choc, pot pourri, chopsticks and chopstick holder. So need not stick to the chinese looking chopstick holder :P

Ok, the thread is alive so we will talk again!

wah now the gift awys got more choices...thats good.

so have you meet up with Ethel since you last tok to her?....how about your food tasting?

can u share with me the details on when you starting meeting her and also the program details?

pls email me at :[email protected]
 
hi little lion,

is ur dinner a sit down one or chinese sit down type...u got the menu???

when do we have our food tasting?
 
anyone has any idea what is the colour for the table cloth of the pavilion and the curtains as well..i do not want to end up looking like the curtains
 
Hi Totoro,

I had a sit-down buffet dinner (mixture of Western & Chinese menu).

As mine was a buffet dinner, no food tasting.. the comments from my friends was that the food spread was good.. suits everyone's taste bud.. including our relatives.

Having typical Chinese dinner will have a basis of comparsion.. base on portion, freshness of the fish / prawns.. for mine, I just make sure that the beef was not over-cooked or too tough..

If I am not wrong, you can decide on the color of the table cloth.. my was a all white theme thus all my tables were white.. think my VIP table too.
 
Hallo Totoro,

Haha...u so funny....i neber tink of such details like the colour of the table cloth and curtains ;p glad dat u brought these up

So u'll be having your wedding @ the Pavilion? Can start counting down liao....5 more months to go...

For me...i'm a Oct bride...but tink i a bit KS lor....coz i dun wana to stress myself up..coz my photo-shooting will clash wif the collection of my new flat or reno. sumore gota go to Malacca in Sep to hold my wedding there before Rasa...so lagi stress...

So did ur go for food tasting? some of my frens suggested me to gif it a miss coz they were saying the standard for food tasting and the actual day will be different....so they advised me to save my $$ (unless it's free lar) but for me...my co0ordinator said it'll only comes free if i booked 35 tables and above. So boh pian liaoz....

Hi Little Lion,

May i ask to see your pics taken on your wedding day as well? can u email to me? my email add is at [email protected]. Thanks thanks in advance!

like wat totoro said...let's keep tis thread alive so dat we can kip each other updated ;p

Thanks in advance!

but i request for white fence and pavilion. from what i understand, pavilion is not available on 21st..hmmm...so anyone will like to change the date, inform me.thanks
 
hi anyone chosen their wedding date on Sep 14 2003 - siloso ballroom and willing to give up?

Becos i am thinking of this date.
 
Hi Totoro,

I used white roses for all the flowers decor..

You can ask your co-ordinator for the flower choices... I was hestiate to choice b/w a red &amp; white theme or all white affair.. in the end choose all white.. even my hubby wore a white shirt instead of the normal suit attire..
 
Hi

hi all

leng here. Hey, my big day over liao. Here to share my experience with rasa.

Overall I m satisfied with Rasa and my coordinator Ethel.

The weather wasnt good that evening n we were supposed to have our solemnization at the waterfront white fence. We were very disappointed if we cant have it outdoor, how boring to change it to the ballroom.

We were supposed to decide by 4.30pm if we want to move everything from outside into the ballroom. The sky was dark, look terrible so my hubby said move. At abt 5pm, the sky was clearer so he asked to move out again. At 5.30pm, the sky is back to cloudy with dark cloud, a few drops of rain, very unwilling inform them to cancel. I was very sad. When we walked down on the way to the ballroom, we stopped n looked at the sky again, looks better. Aiya, wat the hack, take the risk lah. Again, we changed our mind n stopped them from moving in the stuffs. Very fortunately, from there on, the sky was cleared.

Their patience are really appreciated, making them moving the stuffs in and out. We both were very very happy to have our solemnization outdoor, many friends said it was special n romantic.

So far, Ethel had been quite attentive to my needs especially the last week b4 the day, she called a few times to check if I have any change in program n anything I need. I appreciate that as I wasnt abit last min with the preparation due to work, alot things not well planned plus being an inexperience bride &amp; groom.

I was surprised that she called automatically n do try to help. I requested a red sofa to be placed in the ballroom for phototaking ( I got quite a few big groups of friends so table photo not so nice n cannot fit in), remove stage and free rose petals, all these requests were raised 2 days b4 but I was given.

Of course, they are rooms for improvement, think the tables with added chairs were abit mass up. Guests' comment on the food is so so loh, hotel standard. The ballroom carpet shd be changed long ago, so old n ulgy. The lighting of ballroom beri limited so no variation possible if u want to have something different, no spotlight available.

Two other pleasant surprises from the hotel, hehee will not mention here, u will know on the day itself.

Have fun gals.
 
hi All,

i'm new to tis thread
happy.gif
i've booked chinese sit-down dinner &amp; buffet on 12 Oct &amp; 18 Oct resp.

Like Oct Pooh &amp; Bonnie,I've not contacted rasa either.

Hi Bonnie,

Think we shared e same date : 12Oct but mine @ e pavilion
happy.gif


Hi Totoro,

I'd love to b on e list n meeting u gals ;)
 
hi leng,

thks for sharing ur rasa experience w us
happy.gif


can understand tt kind of feelg - having to shift into ballrm due to weather. u're lucky noe.
when i was there last June to meet up w Elaine, there's tis disappointed bride who was forced to move into ballrm cos of heavy rain. praying hard it won't happen to me tis oct!!!

btw, how's e bridal suite? nice?? big??

very curious noe wat suprise leh ;p
 
Hi Leng,

Thanks for sharing your part.
Which ballroom are you in? Pavilion?

I met with Ethel yesterday and she was very good and pro. I looked forward to the 2 surprises you mentioned. hehee..

I have one concern...i notice there is a band playing at the coffee lounge outside the Pavilion room. I am also getting my own band. I am worrying that the music will clash. Are you from the Pavilion and can u hear the music from outside?

I have asked Ethel and she said won't be hear. But I am still a little worried.

Also to all, I have seen the new cards. There is the red and the white one. Elaine is right, the new one has also the sea shell design but in 3 fold. Quite unique and nice. It also state wedding by the sea at the front page. The red one is just a CHING in chinese char at the front. I find it quite nice rather than the norm which always have a XI. The only thing is that the red one is a bi-fold card...and since both white and red is of different pages. the printing cost will cost more as well.

Personally i preferred the white one..coz the red one is too chinese. But my parents find the red one better ..coz ang ang mah! hahaa

ok, leng i hear from you. And guys any qns, let me know...i have all the details...

and yes Elaine, I asked abt the food tasting and confirmed it is FOC!
happy.gif


and I asked abt the projector....it is FOC and is upon request.

and everyone my wedding is in Mar but earlier than Elaine coz I exhange with her mah!
 
Hi

Mine is in the ballroom, I think Pavilion is better bcos it looks new n bright, The ballroom looks old fashion, I heard Rasa postpone a few times the renovation due to bad economy, it is too dim. Well, it was my mistake to choose the ballroom.

Hey, it was raining the whole day yesterday, really feel very lucky that my big day was not. Now I know it is not a good idea to hv ur wedding at end dec/early jan esp intend to hv outdoor solemnisation, beri risky.

The bridal suite, I hv not seen it b4, I heard it is very nice. Hehee................
 
hi leng,

yah choose outdoor wedding during yr end indeed v.risky!! yes - u beri lucky lor ;p

u din put up at e bridal suite?? how come? thought it'z part of e pkg?

hi fang,

Hi fang

Hi Ladies,

Had my wedding in Sept (Monsoon season) &amp; this was what I told Rasa to help me with to ward off the wet spell... Plant fresh red chilli &amp; garlic on the ground the day before or in the morning ...

Strange it may seem but this is the practice we have while doing outdoor events &amp; it worked for me.. Of course I prayed like mad too cos' my whole wedding was an outdoor event. (ball room as a back-up)

Cheers
 
hahaha....sounds interesting, is the chilli and garlic still growing??? ;o)
