i will be taking the L-shape ballroom. i just seen one longer march in path from ballroom 4 onwards (L-march in), it is not bad...

by the way, i think you also have about 21 tables right? are you only using the ballroom 1 and 2?
 


Hi TBW

Thanks! Will go check my email
happy.gif


U really changed coordinator? So u got a better deal now right? I have 25 tables. So using Ballrooms 1,2 & 3. Dinner's on Sun. What abt urs?

Hmm... If it's possible, I'll go for the L-shaped longer aisle. The diagonal one is really too short!
sad.gif
 
hi jul,
yap, we are more comfortable with the new one
happy.gif
but frankly speaking both of their service level are as good.

i have about the same table as yours (my guest list is increasing..) dinner will be on fri.

hey, i think it is possible to have L-shaped march-in, but can ST help to project the march-in on the screen? in this way, all the guest can see you from the start of your march-in!

hihi jul
you are back in action! hheee.. yah lor, disappointed siah, after seeing the beautiful waterfall and picturing ourself marching in.. *sigh* but cannot liao..

TBW
congrats, you have changed your coordinator successfully! so, having more perks now? =)

gerlynn
i think your weddings's gonna be great!

gingerale and silver
where are you all?
 
Hi TBW

I'm sure the projection is possible. But I dun wanna worry abt the hotel stuff till next yr. I trust ST & my coordinator, that's why I signed with them. I know that after I signed on the dotted line, I can relax till 3 mths b/f wedding when they call me to start preps.

Lazy bum right?

Silver

Aiyah, u're not with ST, so a bit difficult to contribute right? *hee* I wonder if the moderator will kick us out for being out of topic *hee*
 
Hi kokopooh

I think no one will know till ST is ready for the change. But presently there are the gold theme & the red theme.
 
hi jul,
due to job nature, i tends to check a lot. i am also "kan chong" so like to ask a lot of questions. i m going to adopt your attitude.. trust everything will turn out fine
happy.gif


hi gnny,
i don't really get a LOT of perks but slightly better. if possible, don't change because you may end up feeling bad about it.
 
Hi Gals,

I m very interested in ST. May i know what is the min and max no. of tables and how many ballrooms are there in sheraton towers? i have about 30 to 35 tables with 10 person per table. If i cant meet the requirement, will i have to share the reception/foyer with other ppl who is holding their wedding on the same day.

btw my wedding will be Dec 2004. Is dec dates fully booked? cos i tried other hotels sigh, all dec 2004 fully booked. what abt u all? care to share?

how is the package price like? thanks.
 
hi kite,
to start off before jul04...hehe.. the min for weekday is 300 pax and weekend is 360 pax. i don't think you need to share the foyer because they have only one ballroom.

not sure about the dec04 booking..but i think weekend is very popular. why don't you give ST a call?
happy.gif
their service is very good

as i know the ceiling is very high. but what abt the aisle? is it long enough? thanks
 
Hi gals,

It's me, fairymoss. I kind of disappeared and reappeared always, coz me busy with my gowns and other preps. Read thru the postings from end of Sep and see that you all are comparing package. Just my humble opinions, better dun compare so much, coz I just kena from my bridal designe. Out of goodwill and also trying to help a friend, we revealed our package to them. They are already at the final stage of their bridal prep, and they went to ask my coordinator why their package is different from us, even though it cost the same but we sign up at different times. They got furious and demanded the same perks from my coordinator, and even wanted to call us to testify that they are not making up stories abt the package at the bridal shop. So when we met our designer, we were told that our friend quoted us some weeks ago. We got so embarressed and apologetic that our coordinator had to cut into his own commission to pay for the extra perks, coz the company's reputation is at stake if the couple do not compromise. We felt very bad abt it, and I scolded my husband for telling every single detail of our package to the couple. So u see, sometimes being helpful can also breeds trouble for us and others. Of course lah, the couple friend got what they wanted, but I think in future, our designer may not trust us so much liao, or extends whatever offers to us, coz in case the same thing happen again. Sigh....just to share with you gals my real experience lor. Although it's not dinner package, but think it's the same theory lor.
 
hi,

I got some questions, see whether u gals got lobangs or not. We want to rent a limo for the bridal car, so anyone knows how much and for how many hrs etc? we were thinking of a merz or a jaguar. Checked with ST liao, they dun have cars for rental, the hotel does not own the car. They also rent from those car rental companies, so may not be as worthwhile coz many middleman liao.
 
hi fairymoss,
it depends on how we take it i think... hopefully we can take it as positive feedback. i get to know that some perks given to us may not be some other people perks due to they have in- exchange for other stuffs... so now i let things as it is, don't really push very hard for it... learn to give and take
happy.gif
i start to believe things will get better!
 
Hi gnny

Aiyah, u can still come back & chat right? I see gals who have been married for 2 yrs but still very active in SB right?
wink.gif
 
Hi TBW

Actually I'm also like that. Like to ask questions & compare. But I'm trying to learn to take it easy lor. Sometimes 'ren bi ren, qi si ren'. So...

Anyway, ST is the best of my choices. I gotta think abt reno & bridal now. So no time to worry abt ST. I guess when time is tight, we are forced to 'let go'.
happy.gif
 
Hi fairymoss

Very true, I agree with you.

I'm not sure abt renting limo. Heard of this company called Euro-something. Think u can see their advert in bridal mags.
 
Gd morning gals...

hihi fairymoss,
how r u? Long time no c..
happy.gif
How's ur preparation going on??

hi tbw,
Thanks, got ur mail. wow!! Very nice!! both my FH & myself love their gold theme setup..hehe he even said no regret taking ST..hehe
biggrin.gif


Cheers
 
Hi kite

Got my email? U won't share the reception area. It's all yours
happy.gif
ST only has the capacity for 1 wedding at a time.

Why dun u give ST a call? Can ask for my coodinator Alvin. My wedding's on 4 Jul 04.
 
kokopooh

That means u are taking the gold theme already? I'm waiting till I see photos of the red theme. *hehe*
 
kokopooh

I wun make up my mind now. Must wait to c photos of red theme, then decide which I like better. Actually I quite like the gold theme, but how come the stage got 1 ribbon? *yuck*
 
Hi TBW

Waiting for you to email us the photos of the red theme leh
biggrin.gif


Yup, my anniversary with my fiance is on Independence Day too. *hehe* Too bad it's difficult to have church wedding on Sun, or my ROM & church will be on 4 Jul too
sad.gif
 
Hi kite

Uh oh! I deleted ur email. I'll try to remember...

ST uses 12 pax table. It's the 6 ft diameter table, not the std 5 feet diameter table which they use for 10 pax. My wedding's on Sun, mid-2004. Cost is $830+++ per table of 12 pax.

So your no of guests shd be ok for ST. And they only have 1 wedding at 1 time. Hmm.. I love the food! That's the major plus point for me.
 
Hi, Jul

It's been so long since i last chatted with you here!
happy.gif


Anyway, just wanna highlight that it is not true that there will be only 1 wedding at 1 time...on my wedding nite, there were two wedding dinners. The other couple use the function room next to the Ballroom as they hv only ard 10 tables. So for those whose wedding date happened to be a hot date, do be prepared that the function room might be used.

Cheers!
 
hi jul,
i am also waiting for some weddings that uses the red-theme... but i think most of the weddings are going to be use the gold theme... seems like gold is still most couples favorite.
 
Hi kat

Welcome back!
happy.gif


Oh yeah, I forgot abt the small function room. But not that many pple will have 10 tables right? Anyway, it shd be alright. If really that 'suay' then just grin & bear with it. I dun think my date is very hot anyway. Most weddings like Sep, Dec etc. Mine July, shd be quite safe *cross fingers*
 
Hi TBW

One of the reasons I was considering gold theme is bcoz I may wear red EG. Then if I take red theme, I'll camouflage right?
uhoh.gif
 
hi jul,
If you are wearing dark red, i think it is not suitable.. but definitely goes well with gold theme.

but if you are wearing so pastel red or pink, i think it will look alright ;)

So have you done your WG and EG yet?
 
TBW

No lah! Haven't started designing even. Just that if I choose red theme, then must tell my designer not to design red gown
happy.gif
 
hi ST brides,

I like ST, but dun think can meet the min. tables.
Anyone able to negotiate for lesser min. tables for Sunday?

Thanks!!
 
hi neece,
it depends whether your date is a hot date for wedding. sometimes they allow lesser # but there may be some items from the package they cannot offer to you..
 
Hi neece

Like what Sidney said, you can try to negotiate for lesser tables. But maybe u gotta give & take for the other perks. For me, I confirmed lesser tables. Weddings on a Sun too
happy.gif
 
Hi Kokopooh and ladies,

I'm fine. Long time no see. I'm very busy, work takes up most of my time, sometimes weekend also have to work to meet timeline. seldom come to this site except on weekends. my prep for the wedding is going quite smoothly. Luckily we plan quite ahead of time so no need to rush. The major things are already done. Left with the nitty gritty details like cards, music, car, bridesmaids dresses, etc. Gowns done, already 2 appts with my designer, done a mock-up already, hubby's suit also designed and 50% done, make-up artist chosen, photographer chosen. Hse left a poster bed haven't made. oh, but then honeymoon not planned yet. only went to diff websites to see the accomodation etc. I think that's the most difficult to plan, coz u dunno what to expect. What u see in books, heard from friends may not be the same when u are over there.

Oh...forgot to welcome some of the newbies to this thread. Hello Sidney and Neece!! Welcome!! Neece, make an appt with the coordinator, go down to the hotel itself, let him/her go thru the package with u, and tell them your difficulites like not able to meet min reqts. See what they can offer. Usually they will not turn u down, but rather would ask u to forgo some of the items. I know of someone who has only abt 15 tables, and instead of a suite, they offer a deluxe room to her. and the flower deco do not come complimentary. Try talk to them and show sincerity if u really like the place. ST has very nice coordinators, u will be surprised with what u may get.
 
Hi fairymoss

Oh dear, u do sound busy. So is IC up to your expectations? It's gd that u started the planning so early, if not, really stressful right?

My flat reno is starting soon. Going to get busy too
sad.gif
Hope everything goes ok. No hiccups or anything
happy.gif


Keep us posted on your goings-on yeah?
happy.gif
 

welcome ralphine! ^_^

Kite,

Think u can choose to have the march-in from one side of the L, instead of the centre. But the disadvantage is that only one side of the guest can see u.

Jul,

Yes, I'm very busy. sometimes feel very vexed over work. Dunno whether it's worth to put in so much time and effort or not.

IC is very good. met my expectations so far. although a bit on the pricey side, but the service rendered is good. Great that u are starting your reno soon. Today went Barang Barang, got big sale. 50% for many items. I saw some tea light and candle holders very nice, but didn't buy. I think some of the stuffs quite worth buying leh. maybe u can get some for your home?
