Hi Jan... I hv not in mind any of the BS. Perhaps u can share yours with me... you look stunning, your hair do and make up!
Hi Diamond,
Honestly, I had never thot of Irene's Creatn s I knw the packages r on d high side. But after visting & trying so many gowns at Delfi, I decided to give IC a shot. I was vry lucky to meet Lydia & of cos, Eric, d photographer, was 1 of the photographer that my hubby requested cos he took very gd pictures. My package was $3688 incl WG, EG (MTM), Kua & I requested the accessories for AD & PS. My hubby had only 1 suit but later when I requested for another suit, they didn't charge me. Also on my AD, they lend my brother in law a jacket (FOC).
The package does not incl car. I later top up $4000 more for the big album that gives me abt 90 photos, a mini album, 2 A-4 desktop, all photos that took on the PS (abt 300+ pcs) and negatives. They even helped me to put all the rest of the pictures into a very nice album. There4, I had 1 big album, 1 mini and 4 small other album. Of cos incl like corksages, gloves etc like other BS offers.
Frankly, everybody expects different thing fm BS. But most importantly, both u n hubby must feel comfortable with the person that is going to work with u for abt 1 year. We r vry happy with Lydia n Eric. Some pple with this tread dislike Lydia but end of the day, it depends on individuals. And be up-front. Tell them exactly wat u expect! Hope it helps!

Hi Jan,
OIC ... that sound not too bad ... cos my customary n my dinner will be on 2 diff day ... so we are thinking of having the tea ceremony for some relatives who 'miss' the customary date (got some relatives from malaysia ... not sure if they want travel 2 days anot) ... maybe i just need the function room ... guess if not i will do it at the bridal suit

Hi Seabreeze,
Honestly, the suite is a bit small. I wanted to do it in the suite at first b4 they confirm the function rm. What I worries complains from other guests cos my tea ceremony started at 9am n too there were children too. They definitely will run arnd or in/out of the room. Anyhow, just my suggestion but it still up to u. Drop me a mail if u need further assistance.

Hello, I have been introduced to Sheraton by Jan. Just got a fax from ST. hmm, seem like the price will go up in 2005. they are having a wedding show in Feb 04, told me that it will be cheaper if i sign up on the day itself, do you gals experience that? hmm, but the tedious part is that i need to get the date ready and they only allow people to book up till end 2004. hmm, think it will be pretty rush since ROM is in feb 2004. do you think there will be another show in the mid year again for me to book early 2005? so sorry for so many questions, i find their menu so tempting.
Jan,
I'm also with ST and IC. Wow, your package with IC is a steal! Did u book during some promo period or what? I paid almost 6K and that doesn't include the kua and accessories. Was told that I need to rent it for a couple of hundreds for the actual day if I need them. Did you engage Eric to take your AD photos? I think to top up another 4K for so many pics is pretty reasonable if you include the AD photography as well. How big is your album? 10R or 15R, with/without magazine style? I can't imagine how much more I would spend on the BS alone.

Hi Jan
Before you decided on ST, were you considering any other hotels as well?
What about the other ST brides?
What were the other hotels you shortlisted before deciding on ST?
I know the food is great, no doubts about that but what about the ballroom?
I would really like to choose ST but hubby didn't like the L-shape ballroom and the weird ceiling.
Would love to hear from you all!

hi iluydia,
at first, i was considering other hotels like hyatt, conrad and marriot. but after looking at all the factors, food, service, ambience, price, decided that ST is my top choice.
my fh and i were also very worry about the L-shape ballroom and after scouting around the ballroom a few times (on other people wedding dinner), found that ST is able to deco and light up the ambience of the ballroom and i find the ambience is simply wonderful and pleasing. the shape of the ballroom becomes negligible.
my boss and close frens keep telling me that ST food and service is so good that until today they can still remember!! this is a PLUS point to me!
but the most important is still you and your FH must be comfortable with the hotel....

Dear those who are still undecided ....
Me was comparing bet Marriot, ST and Conrad and we decided on ST for a few reasons
1. Value for money (9 dishes whereas the rest are 8 dishes and need to pay extra to upgrade the fish from sea bass to gorupa - spelling look wierd - think spell wrongly liao - pai seh ;p)
2. Quality of food - colleagues who attended a ST wedding and all ret to tell me that its the wedding with the NICEST food so far (even the muslim colleagues) - and mind u they are the fussy type who won't entertain you by saying your food is nice if its isn't
3. Near the MRT station and out of the orchard traffic
The only drawback was the ballroom shape ... but we went down twice when the ballroom was dressed up and we realise that the feel was very good ... the shape of the ballroom wasn't too bad ... but my dad did comment that the champagne pouring was quite strange ....

Hi ladies
I have the exact reasons as Seabreeze when I chose ST. Even though its a L shape ballroom, but other impt stuff like ambience, food are able to compromise for the shape of ballroom. Moreover, I think after some maths, the price for per head is abt close to $80/pax. Compared to other hotels, its usually more and it mite not be as good.
Hope it helps!
Cheers!

Hi Iluydia,
I hv shortlisted Conrad, Four Searson, Marriot & Regent. But most of the wkend were taken up.
Regent offered me $888+++ for weekend but after much consideration, we decided to settle with ST & we r very comfortable with the sales person. He is very sincere & professional. Also, Regent is a bit out of the way after we decide a weekday wedding.
Yes, I totally agree with seabreeze. It's value for $. When u walked up the stairs to d ballrm, d feeling is vry different from other htl. It's that kind of grand feeling. And ST is vry convenient, near to MRT and lots of buses too.
Althou it's a L-shaped ballrm, all my guests were able to view d stage clearly, no prblm. But if u girls wanted a long march for your 1st march-in, then ST may not be able to do so s d entrance to d stage is vry short. But overall, my wedding at ST is PERFECT!

hi ilyudia,
just something to share ... i attended a wedding while i was still deciding my wedding venue .... when i was sitting at the table ... i realised that the focus of the guest including myself is how the couple look (that is for the gals only lar!!) and the FOOD!! Frankly it was quite boring unless the couple has planned for some programme .... otherwise good food will really be THE THING lor ... so it was there and then me n hubby decided to choose ST over the other two ....
Food for tots lar ...

Hi Jan! I am in the midst of chosing my venue for my hotel banquet. Can you share your photos with me? Thanks!
Have heard so much from this thread regarding your photos? Btw, how much did you pay for Hock Kee photography? Did you engage home from your BS? So sorrie to bombard you with so many questions!

Hi alvinanna,
I shall resent. Check your email!
Hi Claudia,
I only engaged Hock Kee for my AD photos. As for BS, Irene's Creation has a very gd photographer, Eric. He took vry gd photos too. He was taken up for my AD, that's why Hock Kee was my next choice. I am trying to scan my BS photo's and drop u a mail once it is uploaded. Hock Kee charged me $700 for 2 days. I think it's 9 role with negatives n album. If u need, I can give u his contact. He is good!

Hi Jan! Cannot open the email. Think some technical error. Could you resend it to me again? Thanks in advance!
Hi All newcomers,
Welcome to the Sheraton Thread.. Been away for a while, and suddenly i realise that this thread is so "hot"...
Jan,
Can u send the photos to [email protected]? Thanks. Looks like you and amy can setup a consultancy firm together with Sheraton to promote their services.. hee hee.
To those who are still deciding on the venue, a piece of advice, pls ask yourself what is your budget and selection criteria. Which priority comes first? Food, venue, ballroom, etc. Do consider all these factors during the selection process. At the end of the day, both you and your FH must like what you have chosen.
As for me, food was the first priority, as people will remember the food after the dinner. They will not remember the ballroom or the wedding proceedings as clearly as the food. Second was the ambience. I was taken aback at first by the L-shape of the ballroom, but after i view the setup, it find that it is very cosy and elegant. Third was location. It is out of CBD area and could be reached by MRT. You may argue that people from West or East will have problem going there, but you cant satisfy everybody. If they wants to attend your wedding, they will have their means to make a trip there. Of course, budget was another consideration. For me, it is cheaper to host it as a wedding lunch compared to wedding dinner.
So, discuss with your FH and do your sums. Ask yourself what u want...
