happy.gif
one time bomb so much things to say haha Roger good hor.. very friendly
happy.gif


day room ah.. he din wanna promise also..he says subj to availability.. but i forced him to write into contract hahaha but if that time if they say no room, i also no choice
sad.gif


wow..500 guests, did you use this to bargain for more perks? usually more guests more power rite?

i'm a coord hehe tat's y more eng :P
 
purplenic,
mm...still ok lor... actually i manage to have free flow of beer...at 1st roger dun wan give one lei.
then at the very last moment before he prepare the ctt, we ask again and sort of half beg him to give us one more barrel then in the end he give in lor.
 
tissuebox, he din indicate on the draft contract, only verbally said can give if got room.. but i asked him to indicate and he did
happy.gif

jus ask.. i'm sure Roger is moer than delighted to help
happy.gif

i think main concern for most couples are on beer and wine.. so ex man.. with the corkage
sad.gif


Dice, i actually have a fren who's in the hotel industry too.. she was saying, perks is up to coord to give.. jus ask nicely, sometimes k siao beg beg abit then they will give liao.. give it a try k? no harm.. like tissuebox also heng heng got free flow beer... if they can give during shows.. dun see y they cannot give off the show hehehe
 
tissuebox, is your wedding on a week day or weekend?

Sigh, i just spoke to Eng Yan in the afternoon, told her we are still considering. We have about 34 tables and right now, its one bottle waiver of corkage per table. She said prob can do something about it e.g. give waiver for some more bottles or a one lump sum charge. But she's quite firm on the beer leh..only giving one free barrel. come to think of it $525 is too expensive for a 22.7L.

Roger sounds like a nice guy but how can I ask for a change in coordinator now that we are close to the verge of signing the contract?
 
Dice ah.. u can try quoting my name loh... say you know me then we wanan go under same coord? call Roger directly?

pm me if you wanna my details k? if not i'm going to b famous liaoz keke
 
Thanks purplenic.. =)

But how to tell Eng yan or shall I just call Roger directly? I think he's more junior than Eng Yan leh so will there be a problem?

Can u send me details of your package at [email protected]...

I think Eng Yan knows that i'm quite desperate so she refused to give in...haizz...wanted to call HDB to see if i can defer but their office close at 5pm!

Thank you =)
 
Hi Cheers

She gave me one 22.7L barrel, waiver of wine corkage for one bottle per table, extra night stay, flower petals, intelligent light and the other usual stuff...parking coupons etc...
 
hiya Dice, maybe i can help you talk to Roger first? not sure if Eng Yan is more senior leh.. actually hor.. Roger also know i quite desperate leh.. in fact, he told me no need to sign so fast.. cause mine is next yr Dec, can afford to wait.. but we jus went ahead..

i think you give HDB a call tomorrow morning. see if they allow your defer.. then at least not so tight for you
happy.gif


btw, is yours a weekend wedding?
 
Hi Purplenic

That'll be nice of you to check with Roger first. But got to let him know that I'vealready express interest to sign the ctt and Eng Yan has already sent me the draft.
My wedding is on Sunday, what about yours? Wow, you sign so fast???

I think there's another coordinator called Eunice. Has anybody work with her before?
 
hi dice

have you try calling hdb??
let us know the outcome ok.

other then ST and MC, do you shortlist other hotel?

1 feel there is no problem to change co-ordinator lah but dun know will there be 'xin1 bin4' btw the 2 of them or not?? dun know there have target or sales commission or not.



the wine corkage, mine is also 1 bottle per table.
 
dice, mine is a Thursday hehe ya, we're the first couple who signed for next yr Dec.. Roger was saying there's lots of enquiries, but we signed first hehe

we thought you had quite a good package... and additional $ off per table is not that much.. so we jus went ahead
happy.gif


i think Eunice is no longer with Sheraton? heard it somewhere in the forum...

Dice, dun mind, can i have your name and wedding date? then will sound like you my fren ma hehe sakali he ask me details i dunno anything :P

tissuebox, mine also 1 bottle per table
sad.gif

wat's the corkage rate for seq. bottle ah?
 
Hi Tissuebox

My bf will call HDB but its so difficult to get hold of the lady-in-charge. Has left her a voicemail so waiting for her to call back.
If the standard practice is to give couples 3 months to produce the ROM cert after getting the keys, I dun see why we cant show her the receipt within 3 months.

We have about 400 guests so that narrowed the choices we have. I like Oriental but abit pricey for us. Novotel Clarke Quay's Ballroom looks too crampy for our size. Actually wanted to take a look at Marina Mandarin but their website is so lousy, could even find the contact number of the sales banquet. In the end, I have to call whatever number was available on the website and got transferred here and there. The guy I finally talked to still hasnt sent me the package till now! Quite angry at them. Moreover, I heard its not exclusive coz there could be 3 weddings held on the same night.

Ya, I also worried about the Xin1 Bin4 especially if there's commission involved. Scully Roger resigned and I still end up with Eng Yan.

So is yours on a weekday or weekend?

Eng Yan called me a few times yesterday and today to tell me that another couple is also looking at the same date as me. So I have to call her today to either renegotiate or change coordinator directly. Can I trouble you to call Roger asap and see what he has to say. So sorry, didnt mean to rush you....

Thanks

dice

have you try looking at hilton, or grand copthorn. they fits your table requirement cos my no of ppl is abt the same as urs.

if you are interested i can send you the package
 
Tissuebox
I went to Hilton to attend my fren's wedding but I dun like the ballroom and food. Got three pillars in between..

Love GWC ballroom but the suite is very small and location not tt accessible leh...who did u liaise with?
 
THanks Purplenic

Can u just mentioned that i'm looking for Sundays in October rather than the exact date. Dun want Eng Yan to know that I'm "plotting" behind her...
 
tissuebox, u all talking abt GCW? i heard it's nice? but i din bother to go cause minimum table requirement cannot meet
sad.gif
and it's not convenient... on the other hand.. when my frens heard me shortlisting Sheraton, all of them ask me to invite them cause they wanna eat the Li Bai food hahahah super dun give me face :P not wanna celebrate for me.. but go for food
sad.gif
 
yes...
there is really not convinent lor...

purplu..your friends all so funny...ai ya..they got go means give u face liao lor...

dice, if eng yan or roger still din give you one more barrel of beer, will u still sign up with them??sometimes their perks also depends on season. think urs is perk so maybe they very firm lor.cos if u dun sign up, others will also take up the slot.
 
Purplenic

hahahha.. at least you know that u have chosen the right hotel.

Tissuebox, if they give, will definitely sign. If they dun give, must do some calculations again. My frens who have their wedding around Sep last year and beginning this year have either two barrels or free flow...of course i will feel abit short-changed lor....haiz..

Still cant get that lady from HDB... =(
 
Aiyo, where did he go....what shall I tell EY when she call to ask again???

Purplenic, can give me some of your details, like your wedding date so at least I can tell Roger if he asks?
 
wah sey gals.. u two really fast in toking.. i 1 day nv come in so many posts liao....

purplenic, how come u no msn??

dice, my coordinator is Yan, i find her quite nice.. yah she is more senior than Roger.. so how is it?? u decide to change coordinator liao?? someone looking at ur date then how??
 
hahah tissuebox, nevermind la.. at least we are exchanging info here.. better than a dead forum hahaha makes ST looks like so unpopular kekeke

cheers.. pc gone case liaoz.. spent for repair for 1 week, still not back yet
sad.gif
 
cheers, Eng Yan more senior meh?? din know abt that leh.. cause i think Roger also there very long liaoz?

dice, paiseh la... but i do agree that i'm sure KS hahaha better to settle early ma..
 
Ya, i want to change coordinator but purplenic still cant get hold of ROger. Maybe I should just call call EY and tell her I think a few more days to consider?
 
dice, then u better say properly with eng yan cos since she say they re other ppl also loooking at your date, so if the others put deposit then i scare she will relaease lei
 
tissuebox~ same here!! i also check here everyday.. was complaining to cheers how come here so quiet hahahha

dice ah.. dunno wat time Roger coming back leh.. i think you should tell EY to give you up to this week to decide?
 
Hi Gals...

I finally manage to persuade EY to give one more free barrel but they'll charge me a lump sum for wine corkage. =)

Purplenic

I think i'll just stick with EY..THanks for your help!
 
congrats Dice~!!!

paiseh din manage to help much
happy.gif

so your corkage is one lump sum and no more additional cost?

so you're gonna b a Sheraton btb?? come in talk leh.. if not dead forum again hahaha
 
Purplenic

Dun say that, i really appreciate your offer to help. Yup, just a nett amount....

My frens told me Marriott also not bad, have u gals check out there before?
