Sheraton Towers Singapore Hotel

<font color="aa00aa">yup yup, they'll usually offer more perks during the show
happy.gif
so dun need to spend too much effort bargaining hehehe

hmm Kelly, i also think you should try bargaining, but have you signed the contract with them? tot things would b tougher is contract has been signed
happy.gif


err, just to share some info, from my understanding, Roger would still be handling wedding banquet. Just that he's doing more of corporate, but dun mean he's not touching on weddings
happy.gif
think there's some misunderstanding hehehe</font>
 


sunchinemilo

u still following this thread??

have some question to ask...

who help to co ordinate the dinner music and video/photo motage? ur friends or the hotel ppl??
 
Hi girls,

Actually we almost paid the deposit in Jan. San San didnt tell us abt the fair. It was till later after FH's cousin spoke to her ex coordinator, then we realised about the fair. It was FH's cousin's coordinator who extended our payment of deposit till 18th Mar, the day of the fair. Else we would already have to pay up 100% of the deposit. So far, we have paid only 1/3 of the deposit. The rest, we will pay up this Sat loh.

Anyway hor, the discount is only $28+++ per table loh!!!! Hahahahah!

So purpleblur, if i go look for Roger, I may get better perks?? :P

<font color="aa00aa">ting, i dun think it's likely for you to change the coords, unless its a serious issue.. cause the perks they offer might be different, so tough to manage is switch
happy.gif


Kelly, i'm not sure leh hahaha maybe you can try? The only coord i met was Roger, not sure if others are better at giving perks. but Roger sure gave me a very sincere feeling
happy.gif
</font>
 
Purpleblur, can't change? I coordinated with SanSan too!
sad.gif
Hmmm... So maybe i shld go look for Roger on Sat. Hehehehe... But you said cant change coordinator, so how? Sian...

When is ur AD? At ST too i presume?
 
Hi purpleblur
The perks given are already stated in the contract mah...

I met with Roger once and he is very friendly and sincere. Though San San is friendly but she's like acting lor... Always turning down my requests without asking her boss...so fed up...
 
Got contract meh? contract only givenupon 100% payment of deposit is it? So far, we paid only 1/3 of the deposit after SanSan told us to.

Ting, I agree with you. Luckily FH's cousin's ex-coordinator is higher in rank than SanSan and so we got our deposit payment period extended by a mth so that we can enjoy more perks during the fair on Sat. When we 1st met SanSan, she didnt even mention the fair to us!!!!
 
hi all

from what i read what the new ST bride says, I have this feeling that this san san is unfriendly and not very helpful.

i am just wondering how can a 5 start hotel allows ppl to have this kind of feelings. wouldn't this like bring a bad image to them?

whereas roger is the direct opposite.
 
I think san san is just being professional. Like Tissuebox mention. Sheraton Towers is a 5-star hotel. They have a image to upkeep. If everyone who sign up with them gets different things depending on their bargaining power than it will also degrade the image. My friend who sign up with Four Seasons Hotel did not get perks even though she bargain.

Guess sometimes we must know how to differentiate.
 
Hi Tissuebox,

Nope, my wedding over already last year. But my good friend is keen of having hers at ST. So come in here to KPO for her. Been to St for a company event. Must say their food is good and service also prompt. But then is on the corporate side.
 
hi all,
i am also with Sheraton Towers...when i booked last year, it was with EngYan and she's good and quite accomodating. Anyone know if she's still around?
 
Hi Crystal
Do agree that they have an image to upkeep...but hor, i'm really am unhappy with the co-ordinator's service leh. Maybe she's new and afraid to make decisions...but she should at least consult her boss before giving us answers mah. I've got 2 occassions whereby she rejected my request and when i insisted to speak to her boss then she relented abit...so i think its better for me to change to another co-ordinator who is much senior lor.

I totally agree with kelly that she's not unfriendly but quite unhelpful and not generous...
 
Hi Orangejuice,
I believe that Eng Yan is still with ST and has since been promoted. She was the one who coordinated for FH’s cousin and also the one who helped us a bit.
 
Hi all,

I am a ST bride too, holding my wedding next year!
I guess there is a serious misunderstanding about San San. In my opinion, she is a very nice lady, definitely very good as a coordinator.

I guess its fair to put out what Roger has offered as compared to what San San has offered, end up, it will be the same things that both have offered.

I am sure they have some performance indicator to meet. If the perks are all can be given readily, then all should be put out at first meeting. For those who havent met San San, do go meet her personally instead of relying on stray comments from ppl in the forum.

And for those who book the date and yet delay the payment till the show, it is not fair to all those who are eyeing on your dates. Basically, you took up the package only when it is suitable and affordable for you, not when it is only affordable during the fair, and there are many others who would gladly pay the price. Thats precisely the reason why the hotel organise the fair, so as to clear their weekday dates as well as those "Po" days on weekends.

But I guess all those who signed up and held their weddings at Sheraton had wonderful experiences. My good friend who hold it there this January like it alot and the attendees all had good comments. Guess thats the most important thing other than the hefty price you pay per table.
 
oh gose..

i hope my comments did not start any word war...

we shall stop the comparison btw san san &amp; roger.
both have their good points...

hi alyssa
glad to hear that ur friend had a wonderful dinner at ST.
do u know how many tables does she have? she uses the long match or short march?

ur wedding is next yr when?
 
Hi Tissuebox,

My friend has a short march in since she has alot of tables. I will most likely be having a short march in since the long one looks funnie in the sense that 1 side dunno what is happening over the other side.
 
Hi,
To those who had their wedding in Sheraton. I would like to hold my wedding there. But understand that many pple do not know where is it and thus may think its a ulu hotel and not a 4 or 5-star hotel. Will that actually affect the ang bao? How much is the avg angbao for sheraton?
 
alyssa
think mine will also be the short march

orange juice..
ya.urs still a long way.
yours will be near to purpleblur.hers is in dec'06.

wendy
it is a ulu hotel but when u tell ppl that it is beside newton mrt, they will 'ohhhh.that hotel very nice' so maybe u will only lu gi at the relative side as they may not bother to go find out it si s 5 star hotel.
roger ask me to indicate "beside newton mrt station" inside my invitation crad, which i actually did so.
 
Hi Alyssa, I agree that SanSan is a friendly lady. I admit it is shortsighted of me to think that 2 coordinators from the same hotel can give different perks. But who doesn’t want anything extra? At least I do. Hehehe... That is why I have been asking.

And for your information, we have paid some deposit already for our big day just that we are allowed to pay the rest of our deposit during the fair so that we can enjoy the perks.
happy.gif
I bought my bridal magazine late, but apparently by the time we went down to chat with San San, the magazine had already publicized about the wedding fair already. So I think it isn't wrong for our payment to be extended till then.

Just my 2 cents’ worth, don’t wish to dabble in a word war too.
happy.gif
 
what are the perks that will be given at the show? hmmm..wonder if i can still ask for them since i have already made the full payment for the deposit and signed the contract :P
 
Hi orangejuice, I dunno wat are the perks too. So going down to find out on Sat. All i noe is that the discount per table is $28+++ only...

No harm asking mah. At least I tried asking. Hehehe...
 
Hee!

Mine is in Jan 07 too!! Will be going for the wedding show too, going to take a look at Sattine and try out the food, also can take a look at my beloved ballroom.... the more I look at it, the more I think its nice... Afterall, tics to the show is complimentary.

No extra perks on the fair manz, except the free flow of beer. Lucky I sign up much before that. They gave a 28 bucks discount, but that is after jacking up the price by 30 dollars.... end up they also earn 2 bucks.... But since the tics is free and we want to take a look at the book room and feel the sound system, so its still worth it.
 
<font color="aa00aa">Alyssa, u mean u had free tickets to the show? How did you manage to get it? i tried calling them but they say cant give it to us

wat u mean by $28 discount?

anyone got pics of the new setting?

hahaha tissue really leh, not kua zhang! first pic i already WAH liao
happy.gif
ur pic size too big? sometimes server slow during peak period, u try loading at ulu hrs lor hehehhe</font>
 
Hi purpleblur,
Yah, I called them for free tics and she just give to me.

Ohh, the promotion during the fair is $28+++ discount per table, but before that the price is jacked up by 30+++, so no difference lah.

I did not take any pics, quite disappointed with Sattine to do anything else.
