Welcome to the club

Have u booked already, or still negotiating?
 
Hi fairymoss

I feel that way abt work too. It's like whatever I'm doing is a waste of time. I really feel that the work I'm doing is not necessary, but the old bosses dun see it that way. What to do? It's a salaried job lor

But I haven't even decided the colour & style of my place. If I start buying things now, a bit worried that they wun fit. Nvm, I can afford to wait for the next sale : Christmas, post-Xmas, New Yr, post-New Yr *hehe*
 
Hi Fairymoss!

Hi Kokopooh
I've signed up with Wedding News coz I like Dean's work. Actually I'm still thinking if I shd try other BS for their gowns only. Not sure if WN has what I want. *headache*
 
Hi,

i just called Roger up and he told me for wkend, it requires at least 30 tables min which is about 360 people. i hv only 330 people and he cant accomodate that
sad.gif
so i think i hv to pass ST. Roger sounds very serious n strict hor
 
Hi everyone,
I'm having my wedding next month, think i will be going for the red n white theme and what i personally feels is for the flowers on each table could have red roses w lighted candles since the table linen is white so it will matches the theme n for couples who are having weekend package can consider having the red potpourri as wedding flavours then it will definetly matches the theme well. It's jus my suggestion anyway cheers!
 
Hi Ralphine

Al Vin's my coordinator too
happy.gif


Yup, it's gd to get things settled. One HUGE milestone passed. After u sign, u dun have to worry abt a thing. Al Vin will call u 3 mths b4 ur wedding to start all the cards, food tasting, etc nonsense! *hehe* In the meantime, just relax & worry abt the gowns, reno etc instead *sigh*
 
Hi kite

I dunno why, but Roger was very strict with me when I first called up. Then I met Al Vin when I went down personally, & managed to get the waiver for 30 tables on weekend. But pls rem that u have to exchange other perks for the waiver lor. U wanna try calling again?
 
Amy

Ur wedding is next mth? So fast?

So are u gog to use the red porpourri too? I was thinking maybe chocolates more useful. Then if the guests cannot finish, I can sapoo them all! *hehe*
 
Hi Everybody,

I am new to this thread. Trying to gather feedback on having wedding lunch at Sheratown. Anybody tried that before? By the way, anybody compare Merchant Court to Sheraton?
 
Hi Mr Bean

I think quite a few of us are having wedding lunch. Not too sure abt Merchant Court, coz I didn't shortlist that hotel in the first place. But general feedback is that the food is good, & the portions are big. However, they also say that the hotel isn't flexible when it comes to negotiation.
 
Thanks jul. Glad to hear that I am not the only one. Have you planned the sequence of events. Was thinking through the other day, and it seems that the timing is a bit tight, esp with the tea ceremony. My coordinator has been very helpful with the package. Like her service a lot... Anybody work with Eng Yan before?
 
Welcome Mr Bean...
bounce.gif

Like wat Jul have said Sheraton's food is good & they provied very good service....that's wat all my friends said....as for Merchant Court, i'm not too sure cause i also didn't shortlist that hotel. When is ur AD?

Cheers
 
thanks kokopooh. it's on the 10th of Oct. The only thing I have qualms about is the L-shaped of the ballroom.. furthermore one side of the ceiling is high, and the other side is low... dont know whether if will look funny.
 
Mr Bean

I'm having dinner, not lunch. And I haven't planned the programme yet coz my wedding is next yr. In any case, I have church wedding, so I'm splitting the wedding into 2 days.
 
Kokopooh,

Huh? U seen me before?? Where? aiyoh...i dun even know leh!!

Mr Bean,

Welcome! Wah, u are the 1st 'thorn among the roses' in this thread leh.
happy.gif
So rare to find a guy here. Usually it's the bride who is more kan cheong and would quickly source ard. Don't worry u still have enough time to 'recky'. Wedding lunch is still a new thing to Sheraton. But it's getting popular these days. Hmmm...I think u can have tea ceremony at the hotel so tat it won't be too rush. So after fetching bride can straight go to hotel, then yum cha and then go up to do hair and touch up and by then it's about time for the cocktail and lunch. I haven't plan my sequence of events yet, so also cannot give any advice. Think the timing should be fine unless u got church ceremony then would not be feasible unless it's a separate day for lunch.
 
hee..hee.. me want to give a good and memorable wedding for my wife-to-be mah.. so have to do some research lor..
happy.gif


wanted to settle the booking asap so that i can carry on other things. Getting a good hotel is a headache.. once confirm, cannot change oreadi, so must think and think.. Furthermore, want the package deal to be value for money also mah.. aiyah, just a lot of factors to consider lor.
 
hi there ....

Any other wedding coordinator to recommend for sheraton besides Alvin (cos heard that he is leaving soon ... sob sob) ....
 
Hi Galz
I got a call from Alvin today saying that he is leaving. Supposed to meet him tomorrow but now got to postpone coz he will look for someone to take over my bookings
sad.gif
 
yap ... got a call from him too ... we are actually in the process of 'bargaining' ... so i told him that i will firm up the contract with him ... than hand me over lor ... cos i feel that he is easier to work with ... the rest sound quite rigid lor ... at least I have everything in black and white ...
 
hi,

no wonder last week i called up Alvin n asked for wedding package. he referred me to Roger straight away. N roger is very strict, everything oso cannot including reducing of 9 to 8 course meal and reducing no. of tables. Roger seems not very helpful.
 
hi kokopooh

Alvin told me that he will be leaving on 13th November. Should I firm up with Alvin first rather than meet up with the next coordinator??
 
I just called Alvin and I told him I shall settle with him before he hands over to the next person. I'm pretty worried that we will be handled over to someone who is not that 'helpful'. Well, at least when we get everything in black and white, there should not be much problem later..

Kite,
Maybe you can insist that you would like Alvin to do your coordinating before he leaves?
 
hi Ralphine,

thanks for ur suggestion. i m not getting sheraton anymore cos roger rejected my request on wkend as he cant reduce 2 tables down. anyway now i m less or more confirming with Regent.
happy.gif
 
Hi Jul,
Yes my wedding dinner is next month 14 fri, i have chsoen the red theme w off white roses w lighted candle floating on water in a glass bowl, i chosen chocolates instead of potpurri too cause the chocolates packed in a white box w a small little red rose looks lovely. Everything has been finalise alreay so now just count down .... so when is yrs? who is yr coordinator?
 
Hi Ralphine...
Just spoke to Alvin..yes, cfm he is leaving on 13 Nov..Yes i think u shd firm with Alvin first..I ll be meeting him next week to firm everything too...
 
Hi Ladies,

You may want to contact Eng Yan. She is a nice and friendly lady. Quite responsive, and make sure that you are comfortable with the package. She will try her best to satisfy your requirements. You may contact her at

Lee, Eng yan [[email protected]] or 68395831
 
Anyone know where is Alvin leaving? i want to take up st over conrad because i like working with him.. now i may reconsider...
 
hi,

just firmed my contract with ST last week .... finally!!

my contract got 1 night stay for my helper ler ... but cos my wedding will be on 2 seperate day ... will be exchanging that night stay for a anniversary stay lor ...
 
Wah...seabreeze, u are indeed lucky? why your wedding 2 days? u mean u book the banquet for 2 days at ST? huh? they provide room for coordinators are day use, but yours is a nite stay for coordinators which I think is really a steal!! so good, u exchange that for an anniversary stay ah.
happy.gif
when is your wedding? U book with Alvin before he quits issit?
 
oh ... cos my customary is on 21 nov 04 and the dinner will be on 24 nov 04 mar ... save money cos weekend package is more steep heehee ....

actually my fren just got married at ST so he told me to 'adopt' his package lor ... so guess I just conveniently ride on lar ... in fact I didn't really found it useful cos I dun think I will have any helpers who will need the room ... then I was told that I can exchange it for a one night anniversary stay instead ... so take lor ....

Yap ... I booked with Alvin ... but what I understand from him was that he will not be meeting up with anymore new couples as he feels that its unfair for the couple to sign up with him when he is going to leave soon lor ....

Kokopoon>> is your wedding on 28 Sept 04? actually that was my first choice date but think u have already cfm it ... so we chose my 2nd choice date instead lor ...
 
Seabreeze,

U very smart ah, can save some money is good during the bad times. Then can use the money as part of the honeymoon cost. Alvin left already? I heard that some brides here want to confirm with him before he left, and they already met up with him before, so not new couples. If he doesn't want to sign with them, then they would be disappointed.

Kokopooh, where u disappear to? u haven't answer my question. u saw me at irene's creation, when? and why u think that's me?

Jul, how are u? hey, saw u in another thread trying to jio yvonne to become ST bride ah. Heehee, the more people here, the merrier.
 
Hi all

I just signed with ST on Sunday! At last everything is over. There was a wedding on Sunday and we went in to peep before the dinner starts.. NEAT! The couple are having a long walk-in, so I'm thinking of that idea too! I saw a couple there that nite there waiting for Alvin, anyone here? coz i was there with my hubby
happy.gif
 
Ralphine,

were u there with alvin just before 7.30pm ... cos me and hubby and another couple went down to meet him at 7.30pm that day ... i have already signed but wanted to see how the long march in look like ... cos me wanted a long march in ... while my fren went there to take a look and see what ST can offer them ... they thinking of having both their ROM and wedding dinner there ....

fairymoss,

think he will continue to meet the couples whom he has already presented for lor ... but those walk in one most prob not .... will miss him for his jokes and animated expressions =p

Seabreeze..hehe
happy.gif
