Sheraton Towers Singapore Hotel

Hi seabreeze

Yup! I was there before 7.30pm.. I had appointment with him at 7pm.. before me was another couple. He was so busy that day! I saw 4 people waiting for him. I remember when he was talking to us, his handphone beeped, saying that u guys were there already..

hI Seabreeze,
Actually we wanted to change it to 12/12/2004/sunday(2nd choice), but the date have been taken... yes!! that's wat my feng shui master said also...he kept telling us 28/9/04 is a good date & ask us not to change the date...

hi ralphine,

yap ... thats us lar ... there were 4 of us ... i went there to collect another sheet of the contract ... cos he missed out the complimentary use of projector and VCR ...need black and white mar ... esp if alvin is leaving ... did u give him a huge stack of dates to choose from?

kokopooh,

same lor ... thats what my feng shui master said oso ... but we didn't mind nov either lar ... so okie lor ... actually conrad has my first choice date 28 sept ... but after comparing the package (esp the menu) ... we still decided on ST lor ...
 
seabreeze,

yours is weekday or weekend package? so good one ah, got projector use ah? yo, my coordinator want to charge us for the projector leh, unless we got at least 38 tables. we currently have 34. but where to get another 48 people? no wonder so many people want Alvin as their coordinator, coz others are less willing to give perks.
sad.gif
Think your package very good leh, got free stay for coordinator somemore. U got many many tables issit?

Kokopooh,

i have not chosen my theme yet. 2 dec got wedding dinner using red theme ah? I see if got time to go down or not, if not, sure got chance in future to go. My wedding is next June lah. U mid-autumn ah? very very good date leh! think that's always the best date in the year. Wah, u manage to get mid-autumn coz lunar 8th mth very difficult to get one, and somemore u got it on the 15th day! did u book early to secure a date? I heard from a friend that people even go to the extent of paying the hotel to book those dates that are not opened for booking in order to get good dates. She wanted to book merchant court but was snapped up for those dates beyond 1 yr. luckily ST is not as hot as some other hotels.
happy.gif
U book your BS liao? where ah? i also forgot liao if u ever mentioned. I'm still curious how come u saw me at IC. say leh.

Ralphine / Seabreeze,

So coincidental, u actually saw each other ah?
happy.gif
Are u all using the gold or red theme ah? BTW, did alvin say there's any change of theme? Dunno by then our wedding, the theme will change or not hor?
 
hi fairymoss,

mine's a weekday package ... the tables okie only ... trying to keep to 35 max cos we want the long march in ... but we booked at the min number of table lor ... alvin is very nice and i got his number from my fren lor ... but he refuse to give in for the beer and wine ... but give and take lor ... who is your coordinator ...

i haven't decide what theme yet ... scali they change next year then 'waste' of time to think so much lor ...

u stay in bishan isit? cos saw ur name at that threat ... just got my house key ... at bishan oso =)
 
Hi Ladies,

Need your feedback. Am trying to choose between MC and ST? Besides availability of dates, which would your gals prefer? Do you forsee any problem with the L-shape ballroom during showing of montage. Thanks ahead for the response...
happy.gif
 
Hi Mr Bean,

ST's screen will be at the corner of the L ... so if u want to use the long march in ... u can only have 35 tables (max) so that everyone can see the screen and the stage ...

if its the shorter march in ... then no prob lor ... cos the stage won't block the screen ....

prefer ST's food over MC's food ... but MC's price is very attractive esp for weekend ... but find that there are lotsa hidden cost at MC cos their's is a no frill package ...
 
Hi Fairymoss
Like what seabreeze said, guess I will do the same, will wait till next year. No point choosing it now
happy.gif
I thought after signing the contract means one DOWN, but I'm all excited abt next year. I am actually planning my songs! *laff*
happy.gif


Mr Bean
I have not been to MC before, but I reckon ST is a better choice, food wise is good! Like seabreeze mentioned, you have your choice on the march in to cater to your photo montage.
happy.gif
 
Hi fairymoss

I think the jio Yvonne thing was quite some time ago right?
happy.gif


Well, I'm busy trying to finalise the designs with my ID for reno. Then after that will come the shiong part. Supervision, yelling, screaming, & PAYING *shudder*

I'm feeling a bit insecure abt alvin leaving tho. Kind of signed up with ST also bcoz of Alvin. Now he's leaving, wonder who my nw coordinator will be?
sad.gif
 
Hi Ralphine

How does the long aisle look like? Starting from which ballroom? L-shaped? I wanna long aisle for my walk-in too, not the pathetic short one.
 
Ralphine,

Yeah, me too, gonna wait probably next year then go see the theme.

Seabreeze,

U are right, my house at Bishan.
happy.gif
Where u stay? I'm staying at st 13, 1 bus stop from J8. Welcome to Bishan!! Oops..I should say this in the Bishan thread hor. :p My coordinator is Eng Yan, she is not bad, very qin qie and 'motherly' but maybe not as flexi as Alvin. perhaps Alvin is their boss so can suka suka give freebies? I signed for 30 min tables coz mine is weekend, but right now we got 34 tables of guests.

Mr bean,

If u are showing montage, dun worry, won't block the screen, we went to the ballroom to try out before an actual dinner, both sides of the L can see the screen clearly. Just that the lower ceiling side dun feel as open and a bit claustrophobic compared to the high side.

Are u gals here showing photo or video montage too? How ah? U all got lobang for these?
 
hi fairymoss ....

staying at st 11 (i think) ... u know the 2 tall blks EC that r just completed ... managed to get a unit there ... so now checking defects and tryng to do up the house asap ... plan to move in before CYN ...

am showing my ROM video and most likely the actual day video ... will do away with the video montages ... have plan to scan in the photos and flash it while ppl are waiting to be seated ... and they dun have to q for the photo album ...
 
haha...that's Bishan loft! We probably seen each other when they launched the unit last time. I took urgent leave to go to the soft launch, but couldn't tahan the long queue, the overnight queue somemore leh! In the end, got a resale 5rm at St 13.
happy.gif
So fast completed liao ah? Hey, u join the Bishan thread leh! Good idea to show ROM video during the wedding dinner leh! ST can play DVD or not? My ROM video is in DVD format. Hope won't need to spend extra on the rental on projector. When are u shifting in? so happy got another Bishan neighbour.
happy.gif
Good no need to headache over the reno, the wardrobes all these are built in right? so also no need to buy wardrobes hor?
 
fairymoss ....

no lar we neber q ler ... they let us go home that night ... wonder who is the dumb dumb person to start the q ... crazy man ... 4 days before the launch ....

now headache over the defect checking .... ALOTZ of defects you know ... mine got some cracks in the wall ....

get from ST the complimentary projector lor ... not sure if they got DVD anot cos I have my ROM on DVD too ... but my videographer gave me a VCR format too ... cos most of the hotels provide VCR and VCD only ....
 
Hi Ladies,

thanks for the feedback. It has really been helpful. My coordinator is also Eng Yan. I find that her service is good, and did try hard to match my budget.
happy.gif
will try to negotiate for the projector if possible.

Fairymoss, as what seabreeze mention, u may want to check with ST whether do they cater for DVD. If not you may have to bring a laptop along that can play DVD...
 
Dear all,
I've just signed with Sheraton. My sales manager is Roger. Saw a picture of the red theme on a bridal mag, red tableclothes were used for the 2 vip tables, the remaining tables had the usual white table-clothes. A gold rope was used to tie the red table napkins, look quite pretty
happy.gif
Was thinking of going down to take a look as well, on 2 dec.
 
Dear SeaBreeze,
Mine's still long way to go... in Nov next year! Signed with hotel and package, so now zo-boing, nothing much left for me to do, till next yr for photoshoot..
 
hi jus_me ....

me too .... oso in nov ... my dinner is on 24 Nov (wed) ... what abt yours?? I have already booked my bridal so one thing down ... the bridal told me that the prep will start in Feb/March .... die man after CYN .... must control liao ....

fairymoss ....

hows ur job ... still as busy as ever??
 
Dear fairymoss and seabreeze,
Me moving in with in-laws! :0 so one thing is that i don't really need to bother much about the reno, but worried about staying with in-laws!! They seem quite nice now, but then again, it's a totally different issue when staying together.

Relax and stay happy!
 
jus_me,

No wonder u so free! Staying with in-laws? Hmm...well, I dunno coz I'm not staying with in-laws but would not like the idea. They can come to stay for a couple of months if they like, but to stay permanently, hmm...sorry to say that, but me dun really buy the idea. Any particular reason why you are staying with them? Issit your hubby is the only son? My in-laws are just staying a few blocks away from us, so we can go back almost everyday to visit, and actually they also dun like to stay with us, coz they say they now retire already, also want some couple time which they have sacrificed for the kids for so many years. They scared that they got to be the bb's nanny if the bb comes along one day. Haha...

I think to stay with in-laws you got to be very sensitive about their way of thinking and needs. Like sometimes my MIL would be a bit pan dang and say during that time of the month cannot wash hair when she see my dark circles which are actually due to late nights. So I don't argue with her and say that it's not scientific to say that, so I just smiled. I know that she advised me is for my own good and also out of concern, so I don't make her lose face by proving her wrong. Maybe that's just one of the way on how to live in harmony with the in-laws, there's 1001 things to learn. So just be more tolerant and always think in their shoes. To live with elderly can be a lot of fun too. They can share with you household tips and where to get good bargains, how to handle kids who fall ill middle of the night etc. So it's not that bad afterall.

Seabreeze,

yes, me still as busy. Now helping my parents reno their house, last year it was my house, now their turn...oh...got to relive that nightmare liao.
 
fairymoss,

saw ur posting at the lighting thread ... me shopping for lights oso ... headache + neck ache + heartache .... neber knew that there are so many shops an designs to look at until both my hubby n i blur .... dunno what do we want at the end .... some nice ones are damn exp .... whats the average price one should pay for the living room lights?

jus_me,

when's your date??
 
Seabreeze,

Yeap. I agree at selecting lights can be literally "a pain in the neck". Also I see till my eyes blur, and got a real headache such that I got to take Panadol to ease the pain.

I dunno about living room lights, coz I'm using all down lights for my living and dining area, except that the dining room also has a dining light, 3 dangling ones made of ratten, which cost me $300+ at Singapore Lighting Mart. I find it safer to get ratten ones for the hanging lights coz my house sometimes quite windy, then if glass would break easily if knock against one another. The down lights I bought it at $14+ per piece, although think I got ard 15 in my living and dining area.
 
Hi Gals...

me interested in Sheraton but have < 250 guests. U think it's possible to get a booking on weekend? anyone can advise on the weekend and weekday price for next year? really appreciate your help!! thks!
 
Hi jazz,

I suspect that it would not be possible for Sheraton to accomodate your requests for weekend. They would require at least 300 persons for weekend. You can try weekday, which i believe they can accomodate... Try speaking to one of the coordinator - roger or eng yan
 
Hi jazz,

Note that per table is 12 pax ... and the min requirement for weekend is 30 tables which work out to be 360 pax .... unless u go for the really low peak month like 7th mth ... otherwise i think would be diff lor ... @ $880 +++ per table

Even weekday its a min of 25 tables .... 300 guests already ... @ $750+++ per table

Know that there is a $30 off promotion for wedding dinner that will be held before 31 Aug 2004 ... its a very good promo .. so you can go find out more too lar!! Good luck =)
 
Hi Jazz,

Alternative you may want to look at wedding lunch on weekend which should be able to cater for your number of tables
 
Hi Mr Bean, Seabreeze,

thks for yr advise! Tables of 12 will mean only 20 +1 or 2 tables for my guests...not that many huh....guess it's less bargaining power.

Seabreeze, this 30 dollar promotion, is it on the website or do I mention to the co-ordinators? Wld love to sign up with Sheraton cos heard that the food is good!
 
Jazz,

I check with my coordinator this $30 promo is only meant for dinner only, and only if u commit to the min # of table. So if u want to get lunch, can't get the promo. But if u get dinner to get the promo, then got to meet the min # of table.

For weekend lunch, think also have to meet at least 25 tables. Maybe u can call up to check.
 
Hi jus me &amp; poupie,

Welcome to the Sheraton brides family
happy.gif


Now, dun tell me u gals signed up with Bridal Veil too?
lol.gif
 
Hi jazz

I know that Sheraton has this smaller function room. Maybe u can try to see if there's opening for wedding dinner there?

I agree with you! Sheraton has one of the best food in wedding banquets! *yummy*
 
Hi Fairymoss

Hello, long time no hear. How are you? Hmm... since u're so free &amp; helpful, why dun u help me with my reno too?
lol.gif


Recommend me a place to get lights pls? I have to buy the lights for my flat soon, but I'm so busy I dun have time to go shopping ard in Jln Besar / Balestier. sigh*

Can you do me a favour? Ur coordinator's Yan right? Can you help me ask her who'll take over my wedding now that Alvin's left? PLlleeaasseeee????
 
Hi ladies,

Just want to let you know that I have at last sign up with Sheraton yesterday evening. Mine would be a wedding lunch...Phew.. at last one thing off my mind
 
congrats mr bean ....

my fren did a wedding lunch oso ... but buffet style ... was very nice .... so who is taking over now that alvin has left hur??
 
yap.. yap.. after a very long search.
happy.gif


Seabreeze, not too sure. I think it is divided between Roger and Eng yan.... Have you called up and checked?
 
mr bean

Can you briefly tell me what makes you decide on ST
happy.gif
by listing all the pros and cons?

I forgot when is your actual day *wink*

I like Sheraton &amp; Regent and I am getting stressed up over which to choose.

Any of you have an idea how many litres of beer are required for banquet dinner on Saturday?
 
Hi iluydia,

My wedding is on 10th of October... well, first of all i ask myself what I want in terms of priority.. food, ambience, budget and location. Food was my first priority, follow by ambience and budget. I am not too concerned with location, as people will still find means to travel to your wedding venue.

I did not compare Regent though, but I feel that Sheraton is good in food and ambience. I esp like the stairs to the ballroom and the lighting in the ballroom as well. Furthermore, the foyer outside the ballroom is private but not enclosed. The service is good too.

But some people dont like sheraton cos of the L-shape ballroom. So if u prefer a rectangular ballroom, then Sheraton would be out for you.

My advise is to write down on a piece of paper the criteria for your selection, and discuss with your FH on the comparison bet Sheraton and Regent. At the same time, compare the two packages to see whether is there any difference. You can resolve the costs comparison then. Try to compare apple to apple. Once the package has been compared, it would be a matter of preference bet you and your FH.

I think the standard should be 30 litre, but i suspect you could negotiate based on your number of tables. If u r holding before 30th Aug 2004, i think u get free flow of beer... check the promotion at Sheraton website... www.sheratonsingapore.com
 
Hi everyone,
I jus had my wedding dinner on fri, I'm the bride who choses the burgundy (red)theme, everyone complimented the dinner was very very gd, food is great, service was very personalised too! feel free to check w me if you gals have any doubts... cheers!
