Sheraton Towers Singapore Hotel

ist,

yeah, especially if u got other commitments like house loans etc to finance. Sigh...the economy is really bad, and cpf cuts and the lower salary ceiling is really taking a toll on many people.

I hope u find an ideal venue for your dinner and welcome u to join this thread anytime!

Hi BRIDES TO BE,
Care if i join in? My wedding dinner is on this coming nov on a weekend but right now i am superstress cause ST is a table of 12 and i realise that i might not be able to have the min requirements of the tables for weekends, have anyone out there had any dinner banquets that did not meet to their min requirements??
 
hi raine...

when's your wedding?? mine's on 22 Nov-03.
have you choosen your wedding invites yet?
me just went down last evening to pick mine...

and how many table are you thinking of having now?? i think sheraton's min is 30 tables on weekend... if you cannot meet, i think you better discuss with them asap
happy.gif
 
Hi kokopooh

What perks do you have already? Then maybe we can try to fill in the blanks here & there. *hehe*
 
Hi raine

So have you booked with ST? Actually I didn't meet the min tables also. But I did specify that before I signed the contract.
 
Hi putise

Long time no see! How are you? Me, super tied up with the flat reno. So no time to think abt wedding preps at all. So ur wedding's coming real soon. Hope the mumps haven't left any lasting damage :P
 
Hi kokopooh

Hmm.. Not sure. I know I got the normal 30L beer, free nite's stay, choice of potpourri / chocs for favours, cocktail for reception time,...

Coz I signed up during the bridal show, they gave me seat covers & intelligent lighting for the first 30min. And 1 more nite's stay. Wonder if I left anything out.

Are you negotiating for lunch or dinner? Coz perks for dinner are better than those for lunch. And if you're not in a hurry to get a date, or if your date isn't popular, signing up during the wedding show might get you more perks too.
 
Hi Jul,

My wedding dinner will b at next sep 28 2004 & I think that's wat i have too lei... not sure lei.
Don't know if there is any more perks to req from them... How bout is urs for lunch or dinner huh???

Cheers
 
Hello Adeline,

Maybe the following will help.

1. ask for increased in car parking passes

2. try to ask for waiver of corkage for wine (they may nt give but at least waive 1st bottle for every table)

3. seat covers (i m v sure they will give u complimentary)

4. 30 mins intelligent lighting (i m oso v sure they will give it to u)

5. see if they can offer u beer complimentary..if they offer 20L..ask for 30L (that's wat happen to us n they willing to give it to us)

6. remember to check how much per head for vegetarian/halal guest

7. see if u can ask for additional 1 or 2 more people for your food tasting

that's abt it..cant remember any other stuff..hope the above helps.

jul, u really dat busy eh? really haven seen u here for a long long time....hope u r coping well with ur reno..

Hi kokopooh

Mine's dinner too. In Jul next yr.

I think that's abt it. According to some of the previous ST brides, they can ask for small things when the wedding gets closer. So dun be too worried if you haven't got one or two items as yet.
 
Hi happy

Yeah, I'm swamped with work. Doesn't help that my boss doesn't do any work, but just shoots arrow to me

Ohaiyo Gozaimasu gals..

hi jul,

happy.gif

we are also picking some ivory ones for church wedding...

oh and the mumps... no lasting damage
happy.gif
i've taken my PS, you wanna see?
 
hi adeline

u mean wedding favours? its' either potpurri or pralines..

hello putise baby, care to share ur pix with me?
 
Hi people.. I'm in the midst if chosing a banquet location and i'm considering Sheraton. I'm considering a weekend dinner and am also concerned so as to what happens if we don't meet the minimum number.. anyone has any idea?

do we have to pay for the minimum number in full? or do they just charge us more per table?

Also, heard that the ball room is L shaped with a low ceiling but it has fabulous food.. Any comments on that?

Oh, how long in advance do you think I have to book if I want a specific date? I know that places like Conrad, you need to book at least 1.5 years prior to the banquet..

thanks!
 
Hi bubblez

i'm sure they will offer u another package (maybe instead of 2 nites hotel stay becomes 1 nite, no floral arrangements etc) if u do not meet min. table requirements.

Yes, the ballroom is L-shape and their ceiling is v high (that's 1 of the reason why i chose ST)..nt sure where did u hear that their ceiling is low...food? no doubts abt their standard!

Preferably, you shld book the date a yr in advance.. deposit for dinner is 3k and lunch is 2K...

Hope the above helps.
 
bubblez,

the ceiling is sure high!!! one side of the L shape is 9m!! the other side is lower and it's those like in hyatt etc, normal ceiling height lor. they won't charge u more per table but may be less perks.

wah, this thread also getting popular!
 
Hi putise baby,
My wedding on Nov 14, me going to choose the invitation cards this weekend, as for my meal tasting will be next month. I talk to Eng Yan she will check out for me and see what she can do but i did told her i don't mind to have a business or company dinner on my actual wedding day should my tables go further down the min requirements..... cause i also want to be fair to the hotel and their sales.
 
Hi jul,
Yes i did but convient to let me know how many was yrs? cause right now i am bargaining to go down a few more can you e mail me at [email protected] so i can let you know what she told me to top up $$ for each table. Thank you pls reply me at my e mail add ok.
 
Hi happy

I know I shd be grateful that I have a job. But can't help feeling angry with my boss. He doesn't even help a BIT *sigh*
 
Hi kokopooh

The last time I checked in Mar, I know they have chocolates / potpourri. But they might include new wedding favours, or even change when your wedding date draws near.
 
Hi putise baby

Of course I wanna c ur photos!
happy.gif


You bought xtra cards from American Wedd Trea for your church wedding? Must be nice. I'm still wondering if I shd custom amke my invite cards, or just buy off-the-shelf.
 
Hi Bubble

U can negotiate for lesser tables, no prob. But may have to sacrifice just a bit on the perks. But is's not like die-die must meet the min criteria, so dun worry so much abt that
happy.gif


Oh, the food at ST is VERY VERY gd. *yummy*

Well, if ur date is very popular, better bk earlier than be sorry. For me, I booked 1 yr in advance. But if ur date is not the super auspicious type, it shdn't be so bad.
 
Happy, Fairymoss & Jul

Just called Sheraton and spoke to Eng Yan, she said I can't book a date til next year and she is very particular about it! I can't even if I pay and I can't do a tentative booking either.. Sigh..
Heard from a friend who attended a dinner at Sheraton that the ceiling is low... I am so relieved to hear it isn't, 9m is definitely high enough
happy.gif

Hey, does anyone know if there is another Sheraton fair coming up? I missed the one in April this year..
 
Hi blurqueen

Sorry I have no idea. Never attended lunch at ST before. Hope some of the other gals can help
happy.gif
 
Hi Bubblez

Why can't you book a date till next yr? Is it bcoz you're very early? Or has it to do with the min tables thing?

I'm not sure abt the any ST fairs. I guess logically, the fair shd be in Apr next yr too? But when is ur wedding?
 
Jul...

Think it's cos I'm too early, not due to the minimum number thing..Apparently the rates for 2005 are not out yet. Anyhow, will be going down this Sat to view the ballroom.. Guess that's the best way to get a feel of Sheraton..
 
Hi Bubblez

No wonder! Yeah, you're really too early lah. Think u can safely wait for the wedding show at Sheraton next yr, & see if you can get more perks. I signed up at the show too, & got better deal than I would have if I didn't.
 
Jul...
happy.gif
I guess I am early... I'm having hols now.. so I just want to get as much done as possible.. I'm terribly busy and won't have time for this on a regular day.. If you don't mind me asking... How many tables do you have? ....
 
Hi Bubblez

I guess it's gd to get things done early. Just that the timing is not right. Maybe by your next hols, the price list would be out
happy.gif


I have 25 tables on Sun. I think it's supposed to be 30 tables, but I sacrificed a bit of bargaining here & there to accomodate my fewer tables.
 
huh? wow, what photos are u all sharing ah? can i see too? issit the gowns? me very interested leh!! just spoke to my hubby and he refused to go to more bridal shows with me!! HMP!!! >_<

bubblez, u are tooooo early liao. i think u can safely book it next year. 1 yr in advance is good enough. dun worry.
happy.gif
