Sheraton Towers Singapore Hotel

Hi gers,
Wanna check if any of you have seen their rooms or anyone who have held their banquet already.
I did not see the room size that will be provided for us to rest. Hope that it is not small. I suddenly remember cos' when my bf's brother got married at Shangri-la, the room given was very actuallya suite.
Just want to know if sheraton rooms are equivalent to Shangri-la's.

Hi, Ling
I have seen ST's deluxe suite and one of the 17 designer suites. For me, there is a choice of either 1 nite's stay at the Deluxe suite or 2 nite's at the designer suites.
Although i hvnt seen Shangri-la's suite before, I do find the designer suite at ST small compared to the bridal suite i hv seen in Marina Mandarin. MM's bridal suite will be comparable to ST's deluxe suite which comes with a pantry, extra toilet and a living cum dining area..too bad we only get to stay one nite at the Deluxe suite if we choose that. For the designer suite, the so-call living room area is quite small and there's only one toilet...
Can ask your coordinator to show you the rooms

Thank you, Kat22, Mae and Flowy.
I asked my coordinator before. But she says she does not has one..
?? maybe communication breakdown..
I actually like to know the timeline to prepare for food tasting, cards, rehearsal....etc
But I have gone through some of them already
I do have a list of recommended songs and the programme for the actual day.
Maybe you guys can provide me some points regarding the
-rehearsal
-no of tables confirmation (prelim & final)
-any other impt things to do nearer to the actual day.
Thank you!!

Hi, gals
I went for my food tasting yesterday
I must say our family were quite impressed with the food. Firstly, the dishes were quite different from the usual wedding banquet 'cos we chose dishes like cod fish, chicken smoked with jasmine tea, etc. The food is also very yummy! The ee fu noodles with boston loster was very gd!! gemi, we opted for soft shell crab in the end...quite nice although my SIL said that it was abit oily and too much flour. We noted that down in our comments. Overall we love the food
My parents love the hotel too..it looked so grand and classy especially the waterfall and fountain at nite! So, no worries abt the food...it is gd!
Hopefully, the food quality is just as gd during the banquet!
Knowing that there will be another wedding on my big day, i went up the ballroom floor to take a look again. There was a 12-year old kid celebrating his birthday in the function rooms 1-3 while a wedding dinner was going on in the Ballroom. So i guess if it's not another wedding, it is prob some other function. From what i see, my guests will definitely be confused 'cos the reception table for the wedding at the function rooms will be placed at the common corridor....all my guests need to pass by that stretch b4 reaching my ballroom...wonder if i can get them to provide a staff to direct the guests? prob ask alvin when i see him the next time.

Hi Kat22,
Thanx...Glad to know that the food was yummy. Me going for soft shell crab, and cod fish too. As for the redirection of the guests, you can have some of your friends to help out if Sheraton can't provide (though I think they would)...and are you having any big portrait. You can put it near the entrance to the cocktail reception area, so people know that it is the right couple.

hi Kat22,
Have you chosen the song for the march-in. I think the march in to the stage is quite short right, so need to find a suitable song for it.
Was hoping to do a longer march in if I'm using only Ballroom 1 & 2, but now with the guest list growing, think unlikely.

Hello gemi!
Hvnt decided leh...had so many songs in mind
You are rite, the march-in to the stage is quite short. I plan to hv a rehearsal b4 the actual day to time how long it will take for me to reach the stage..hehe
I hv the same problem too! Wanted to limit to 25 tables but my guest list keeps growing! Really hv a headache with who to invite from my office! Haiz...You face similar problem?
By the way, anyone seen the new ballroom decor yet? How is it like? Any candles theme?? Din had a chance to take a look when i went for my fd tasting.

hi Kat22,
Suppose to have only 20 tables, but now list is growing to 28 tables. Got to trim the list somehow - maybe the ex-colleagues part.
I think I briefly saw the new decor when I was at the bridal show. But will have to fix an appointment to go down again when there's a wedding going on. The decor is definitely nicer than the previous one.
I also like the candle theme, but recall that Alvin seems to have some concerns about that. He is just giving me teacup candles for the guest tables. For those standing flower decor, I would love to have candles as well though.

Hi Gals
Mind if I join in this thread? It's nice to find out this thread.
I have signed up with Sheraton Towers during their bridal show on Mar this year. And I have won the 3rd prize - $1000 wedding gown purchase by American Treasures.
Went down to AT to check out their gowns but...WOW...it's so costly. Anyway, my FH and I didn't have a good impression with one of the salesgirl. We wore causally when we were there (Sat), and she looked at us from the corner of her eyes.. Sigh...
So, did any of you gals go to AT to select your wedding cards? Any experience to share? I liked their cards designs.

Welcome to the thread Joy2003. Congrats on the 3rd prize. I signed up with AWT also, just took their WG and EG. Do you know who the salesgirl is? You can look for Shirley, she's very nice and patient.
So will you be taking their gown? I suppose your wedding is in 2003, when is it?

Hi gals!
gemi - yar..Alvin said the same to me too. He mentioned that it would not be safe using standing candles as the waiter will be turning the lazy susan when serving...might create a fire if the candles toppled. Not many weddings this mth..only this Sun and next Sat...i shld be going this Sun..not much time for me liao
When do you plan to go?? Ur wedding in Dec rite?
Joy2003 - welcome!
You are so lucky! Me had no luck in lucky draw!!! never win anything one Yup, collected my cards from AWT liao..very nice indeed! So many designs to choose from
I was also served by Shirley when i went to select my cards...like gemi says, she is really nice! maybe you might wanna make an appt with Shirley to try the gowns? AWT has lovely gowns but very x!

Hi Gemi & Kat22!
Thanks for the warm welcome.
Actually, didn't expect to win any lucky draw. Besides they took nearly 3 months to inform me of my win...and I have already signed up a bridal package at Jazreel Low's Collections. In any case, Kat22 you r right, their package is very x! Although I like the gowns but it's too x for consideration.
Good for your Gemi, so did you sign up their local designer package or US designer? I liked the US designer gowns, very nice and grand.
So, my 3rd prize will not be put to use. Non-transferable and only restricted to purchase of gown.
Kat22, off hand I couldn't recall who's the lady who served me. Need to check back my records. Actually, my FH has requested for them to email us some of the costing for the cards...but we did not receive any emails from them.
My wedding is in Mar 03. May I know when will it be a good time for me to go for the cards selection?
Thks for your time

Hi Kat22,
Think I'll be going down later, nearer my wedding date. Maybe Sep onwards since there's ample time. Dun worry, even without candles, the new theme is nice enough.
Hi Joy2003,
I took the local gown as the US gowns are very expensive. Some of the local gowns are quite nice. From maybe 3k plus onwards though, so after the discount it may be still quite expensive, especially for the same amount you can get a full package somewhere else.
Think it's too early for you to select your cards now. 3 months before your wedding is sufficient. And you may want to consider printing somewhere else. Could be cheaper.

Hi joy2003 - Welcome to ST forum... star here... the same one from TWF under Mar 03 Brides!!. U are so lucky to win AWT voucher but I guess the voucher can barely cover the cost. I believe JLC will turn u into a beautiful bride as much (if not better) as AWT will... and at a much lower cost.
Frankly, I dun like their service. When I was at the S bridal show, they so "ya ya" and dun seem int to do biz.
I went to JLC show last week and won a $100 Florist voucher.
Thot it was T-dragon voucher as mentioned by the emcee but it turn out to be florist one.
Kat22 - Thks for all the valuable input.
Ye wedding date is drawing nearer... u must be pretty excited rite.
Hi to all others ST brides... may I take the opportunity to wish all happy planning!!

Hi Star!!
Yes, I have guessed it should be you! I was looking through this thread and realised "Star" was active in this thread.. So nice to hear from you here! I hardly visit the TWF thread. Prefers SB, it's so convenient.
Oh! You were at JLC's bridal show? How come? Hey, know what? I guessed we were seated pretty near each other. I was there too and seated on the 4th row besides the mike stand area. Are you the long hair slim girl who sat also on the same row??
Good for you to win the florist. It's better than nothing right?
Yes, you r right. Winning the AWT voucher is as good as not winning. It's very inflexible. Can't use for other things but solely on gown purchase. Yes, I liked JLC, their service was good.
How's your preparation?
Hi Kat22,
Ya, I think the card pricing is included in ST package. But when we visited them, they told us some card must add additional cost, etc. So we asked for a costing. But we did tell them we booked with Sheraton Towers. My FH is thinking of using our baby photos as the front cover for the wedding cards, or select the more different designs. And they said, all must add extra cost. I am really confuse now.

Hi Kat22
I can't really remember where I sat. It was pretty near the stage (on the right hand side -- if u are standing on the mike stand). The first few rows and at the corner (i.e beside the arisle)
I am not slim, on the fleshy side.. hair abt shoulder lenght... ermm very brown (I think I look a bit like korean gal).
If I remember correctly, there were 2 gals beside me.. will u one of them
I am gg for my first fitting this weekend... likely my trial too. This will help them to start the patchwork during the 7th mth and I can take my photo in Sep.... haa haa then I can sit back and relax!!
Wat abt yrself??

Hi sweetheart,
thanks for the feedback on ballroom decor. May I know the theme of the decor that you have seen?
What is the flower used? Any candles?
I booked my banquet with ST during the bridal show in April and the seat covers were given free of charge. But believe, the wedding coordinators will be very willing to throw them in free of charge if you request from them. They are very nice people.

So, how's your fitting and trial? Btw, u r with Feline right?

Hi Star,
Nope, I haven't select my design yet.
I should start checking out on the type of designs that I like... Just that am now very caught up with work.
Good for you, your mock design is out. So what design did you choose? I am rather confused with selecting the design for EG. Any tips?

Hi gals,
I was at ST last night for a wedding dinner.
Friends commented that the food was good and big portion for each serving. Just that, they were under staff, hence lacking in service.
I was seated at the end of the hall (the side with the lower ceiling). The staff are nice and friendly, but because there are only 3 staff serving about 6-8 tables at my side. The staff forgot to give us plates for our food and spoon to separate the food on a no. of occasions. Although they failed to do so, but on the whole, we are alright with it.
Guess, we all have to look into this aspect. Just to keep your respective co-ordinator informed, to ensure that they are enough staff standby for your wedding.
I must said, their food are great!

Hi, Joy2003
Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear that they continue to maintain their fd quality
Anyway, I must remind my coordinator to make sure I get at least the 2 waiters to 3 tables ratio he promised me.
By the way, how's the ballroom decor? I was told by my coordinator no more tealight candles for guest tables after they change the florist! So disappointing 'cos he told me b4 I signed up that he can give me tealight candles for my guest tables..anyway, planning to negotiate with him when i see him later this mth.

Hi Kat22,
Did you go for their bridal show in Mar this year? Their ballroom deco was the same as per the bridal show. It was simple. Ya, there's no more tealight candles. They have changed florist.
Hi Sensitive,
My coordinator is Eng Yan,too. She's a nice lady and very experienced in hotel line. Prior to ST, she was with Westin for many years. So far, she has been alright.

Hi Mae,
Ya, I also thought ST have 1 waiter/waitress to a table.. but apparently, it wasn't the case then. My table was 32, so it was at the end side of the lower ceiling.. and I only saw 3 waiters serving the few (abt 6) tables. There was a manager stationed there too, but he also went round serving... Actually the staff attitudes are friendly and okie. Just that they are unstaff, hence for most of the dishes, they would just leave the dish on our table, but was without spoon or fork for us to divide the food. As for the quality of the food, it was good!
We just have to highlight to our co-ordinator to ensure there's enough waiter/waitress for our dinners.

Hi, gals
We requested for 1 waiter to 1 table but Alvin said that it is hard getting staff in Sep b'cos it falls near the exam period. Hw, if your wedding falls in June or Dec, ST will hv no problem giving you 1-to-1...plenty of part-timers
Anyway, he promised me at least 2 waiters to 3 tables

Hi Kat,
I met with my coordinator on Sat to confirm the final details. I will be having 2 waiters to 3 tables. Their new deco looks much better than their old one and I like the idea of having roses and ribbons behind the chairs at the 2 VIP tables. Looks very nice. Their flowers for the individual tables also looks very presentable, my hubby likes it.
I also requested for individual servings for all my tables. This will ensure the plates are changed after each dish. I think its better, what do you think? The waiter will scoop the food on the individual plates and serve.

Hi, Jolene
Great to hear from you!!
The reason why I had been asking abt the ballroom decor was that I saw their ballroom set-up on 21 July and was quite disappointed. That wedding had only 22 tables and each table only had 10 chairs. I suspect what I saw may not be the usual decor 'cos each guest table had only one small floral arrangement...when I mentioned it to Alvin, he said it shldnt be 'cos the guest table floral arrangement shld hv at least 3 flowers! I agree that the VIP tables looked gd with the flowers, ribbons and gold table cloth.
Did your coordinator show you the actual set-up or just show you photographs? I am toying with the idea of getting an external florist to do up the decor but I think I will discuss with my coordinator first...maybe what I saw was not the usual setting since most of you commented that the new decor is much nicer. The one I saw was really plain!
I plan to request for individual servings for all my tables too
Yup, better that way. So, how's your wedding preps? Hv you sent out all your cards? I hv sent most of the cards to my frens, now left with colleagues and relatives.
Great to hear from you!!
The reason why I had been asking abt the ballroom decor was that I saw their ballroom set-up on 21 July and was quite disappointed. That wedding had only 22 tables and each table only had 10 chairs. I suspect what I saw may not be the usual decor 'cos each guest table had only one small floral arrangement...when I mentioned it to Alvin, he said it shldnt be 'cos the guest table floral arrangement shld hv at least 3 flowers!

Hi Kat,
What I saw was only pics but I am quite okay with it. It looks much better than their previous decor. The guest tables have 3 flowers and some green leaves. Very nice. Me and my hubby like it. Hubby is usually the fussy one so since he also says that its is nice, I guess I shouldn't complain.
I have settled most of my cards, except relatives. Some of them pantang about receiving the cards during 7th month so I have to wait till first week of Sept before giving them. But then, I have left it to my parents to settle this so not much worries for me. The only thing is the guest list.
I realised that my muslim frens will be charged separately unless I put them all in one table. This is because they charge by per table regardless of how many people are eating the chinese food at the table. So, that means if I have 3 muslim guests at the table, the cost will be for 15 guests, instead of 12 per table. Per additional person is $63+++. Quite a lot but I dun have a choice as if I put all the muslim guests at one table, they will be complete strangers.... what do you think I should do?

Hi, Jolene
OIC...now I am more convinced what I saw wasnt the usual decor. The floral arrangement I saw on the guest table was so small and miserable
Gd..now I am hopeful!!
Oops..I hope my colleagues are not pantang abt getting my cards in the 7th mth 'cos I definitely cant afford to give them in early Sep..too late to rsvp liao
Hw, like you, i will give the cards to my relatives during my guodali which falls on 7 Sep
I hv muslim as well as 1 vegetarian! In my case, I will put my muslim/vegetarian guests together with my Chinese guests. I hv sounded them out and they werent keen to sit with strangers for the meal. I agree it will be kinda sian for them lor. Anyway, I dun hv enuff muslim guests to form 1 table so really not much of a choice for us. I plan to hv 11 Chinese guests and 1 muslim/vegetarian guest in one table
Maybe you can sound out your guests first on their preference...unless they know most of the people in their table, my reading is that they will prefer to sit with people they know.
