Hi everyone,
I've just got some pics from the coordinator of the ballroom & pavillion deco. Not quite what I expected. Dunno if it's the old design or the new ones..

Hi,
My fiance and I have booked our wedding dinner at Shangri la Rasa Sentosa few weeks ago.
We had comments from our friends that they had bad experience with the hotel in terms of their service...
Anybody out there has any experience with them and can share with me?
Thanks!

hi all - new here but have booked with Rasa some months back..
joan - my fren jus had her wedding in Feb, yes they did experience bad service cuz they were short of staff, it was the same as another friends one in Dec... 1 waiter to 3 tables, she said wait very long for a drink...
but not to worry so much... i still booked w them cuz i oso love the pavillion... the sales person said the feedback has been noted and more temp staff will be hired (last year they faced probs getting staff)
hi fiona, transport should be ok - if you have pick up point for the buses n let your guest know.. but i agree that parkin is a prob.. when it rains quite inconvienient for guests...
it rained when i went to discuss my agreement n we had trouble gettin to car park...

Hihi, bebe!
The other time I checked with my co-ordinator, I brought up this not-up-to-standard issue and she mentioned that it's 2 waiter to 3 tables. Yah, she also told me that they will get more temp staff too!
Just hope they delivery what they promise. Crossing my fingers now.
As for the transport, I was hoping that my guests would choose to take the coach instead cos it seems like coaches are more convenient.
Anyone attending the bridal show this coming Saturday?

Hi all,
It has been some time since i logged on. Good to see so many people here. Heard from a lot of pple that Rasa seem to be rather popular this year..maybe it's to do with the celebrity wedding between Evelyn and Darren. Good also lah, pple will hopefully have less to grumble abt coming down to sentosa.
My wedding is on the 9th of may. It's coming soon! And i haven't done a million things. I am not sure if you guys are aware of this, but Eliane told me that they are not going to allow guests to park at the beach anymore. Some months back, 2 cars got stuck as their cars kind of sunk into the sand.
So they are going to top up more sand too. But in the meantime, they will be allowing me to have 20 carpark lots near rasa. I think if i am not wrong, pretty near the Underwater World. Something which they have never done before. It's really near rasa apparently. Like right next to it.
I just like to know, is anyone aware of this? and if they are given any more details that i may not be aware of?

Hi ladies,
My BF and I interested in holding our solemnisation cum buffet dinner at the White Fence Area. However we are concerned abt the restaurant that is operating at night (i think it's Shakey's Courtyard), just next to the White Fence Area. Seems like there is not much privacy. We went down one of the nights to take a look. The restaurant is on higher grounds and thus the guests are over looking the function area and the music is quite loud. Anyone experience a dinner at the White Fence Area? Your comments are appreciated.
I read above that the Lounge can be used as a back up area. My coordinator did not mention abt this. We were only shown the function room. How is the lounge like compared to the function room? Just concern that if it rains, then it defeats the whole purpose of having it at Sentosa since the function room is very ordinary.

Hi..
Okie..let me clarify on the Lounge issue..since i think i started it. I specifically asked for the lounge, before my co-ordinator recommended the function room. So i don't think it was any fault of your coordiator for not recommending it. I think the normal procedure is to recommend the function rooms.
Another thing is this...if you would like the lounge as back up, it would cost a lot more...it would be double the price or more. The reasoning is this...as the lounge is actually meant for their hotel guests to use, it is actually a cafe of some sort where hotel guests can buy drinks and have light snacks. So becos they have to shift the entire area for the solmnisation and becos you are taking a revenue-generating area, they would charge you more. I guess it justify the extra cost. However, as mentioned, it would cost about twice as much so i dun think it's recommendated at all. If you take the function room as back up...the price would still be the same as the White fence.

Hi, Pei Ee
I am also going to solemnise at the White Fence area. But I will be holding the banquet at Pavilion. The solemnisation will take place before or around the timing when Sharky open shop, at that time they still have not start to on loud music. So should be alright, I guess.
For me, I am more worried about the weather. I just hope it doesn't rain on my AD.

Hi Odiey,
yeh, I had my buffet dinner at the White Fence after the solemnisation. Rasa set up a DJ counter, it's 1 of their staff station at the white fence with the the "music stuff" play the music for us. It's like a personalised DJ.
The music was provided by rasa, didn't bring my own. Can't hear the cafe's music only can hear the DJ's music

Hi ladies,
Just back from my honeymoon. Had my banquet at the Pavilion on the 6th. Was quite okay, ratio was 1 waiter to 2 tables. No complains heard regarding slow service. No complains with food either, in fact parents said it was better than food tasting.
We maxed out the Pavilion with 36 plus 2 reserved tables. Hubby ordered the reserved tables to be removed once confirmed not required cos he say else space quite squashed. After removal space was just nice. But guests was held outside at reception area until 7.30 pm while they rearrange the tables.
No problem with coaches provided. Car parking near hotel all full so guests had to park at Parade Sq as informed.
BTW, Rasa do provide dry ice effect. Cos previously there was posting say they dun have. Maybe they just started? Anyway, it was unexpected for me, and the effect was very nice. But be careful with the stairs up the stage, cos you can't see them with all the dry ice flowing around and your wedding gown
.
Personally like their service very much. In the briefing b4 the banquet, all the in-charge staff come with the coordinator to meet us in the suite. They even had a guy in charge of AV!
Am now looking forward to my anniversary stay next year.

Mine is in a total mess! My husband had to go overseas for a month, and it was something we didn't predict so we had to push back several things till April. Thank god he will be back this tues.
The cards now are being printed and I should have it by next week. And i have booked a cake too. Gowns are ready as well. But photography will only be done on the 8th of April and i have yet to confirm the colour theme or the details of the banquet. We are intending to add more flowers to the dinner.
What abt you? Don't be like me, so last min!!

Oh, i have not gone for food tasting, cards not collected nor printed. Now finalising the guests list...alot of alterations.
Have took photos, not yet go for selection and think album will be ready in late June. Oh, i also have not thought of the colour theme of the banquet, wonder are we given what choices for the flowers / candles? Do you know?

Hi btb04, thank you. As for parking complaints, I haven't heard any. And the coaches was very smooth. Only complain with parking was that the hotel entrance guard turned away my father's and jie mei's car even though I had registered them for parking in the hotel carpark. Had to get my coordinator b4 they let them into the hotel carpark.
Can imagine me running around the hotel lobby and carpark entrance in my tea dress. But it was fun too.
And some of my relatives who arrived early to enjoy Sentosa saw me running around.
Hi Pei Ee, take it easy. I didn't confirm my flowers and banquet details until the last min, i.e. 1 week b4. And even after that, I had to request last last min adjustment cos some relatives only informed they're coming like 3 days b4 the banquet.
btb04, they have Roses, Gerbariums (think the spellings wrong, looks like small daisies), and Orchids. I took Roses in Champagne and Pink, and the Gold table cloth for the VIP table.

Hi Cat,
Thanks for sharing. I think on that day, i will be running ard just like you
Anyway, i will advise my guests to arrive early if they choose to drive. Kathy just informed me that they have opened the gateway carpark for Rasa guests and they have hotel buses to pick them up fm there. So i guess it should be ok.
Hi nanshee,
I think now it's a bit early to book banquet for end 05. Maybe you can call and check with them.

Hi, nice to see this thread active again.
I've uploaded my pics so anyone wanna take a look let me know your email. Mine's in the Pavilion so you can see the set up.
Hi bebe, as btb04 said, it depends on your guests. The 50L provided by the hotel was sufficient for me. Only I had to get 20 more bottles red wine from hotel on top of the 10 I'd brought.

Hi ladies, u've got mail. Photos of the Pavilion will of cos be in the Banquet section.
U can see the interior of their Presidential Suite which they let us use on our outdoor PS in the "scanned proofs of photos not selected" section. We were there end of the day and looked totally busted.
Hairdo flying apart already.

Hi to all,
I heard that Rasa does not prepare the food in their own kitchen and they transport their food from mainland Shangri-La hotel. Heard that their kitchen is used for reheating only. Dunno whether it is true? Any comments from those who have held their wedding there?
