Sheraton Towers Singapore Hotel

Hi Kat, I am an ST bride too and i was wondering if you could send me those pics that you promised piggy... din really take note of what was part of the deco when we signed up with them...

thanks in advance! My email is [email protected]
 


Hi...

If we booked 30 tables but only 28 tables taken. 2 of the tables were left empty. Do we still have to pay for it? Does ST allow us to come back for lunch/dinner for the 2 empty tables??
 
Hi LY,

Heard that ST will always provide 2 spare tables and they will charge you for the 2 spare tables only if they are "opened". But I suppose if you're paying for 30 tables and only "open" 28, they should be able to let you use the 2 tables at Li Bai some other day [like the food tasting

]. Is 30 tables your minimum? If it is then might have to pay for 30 and use the 2 some other day, if its not then you can change your final number of tables as long as its > 3 working days before your banquet. No need to confirm so early.

HI LY,

If I remmeber clearly, ST don't allow couples to go back for lunch or dinner for the un-open table. What you can do is bring back the dry food or share the food for others table.
 
Has anyone who signed with ST during their wedding show 2 weeks ago, see and sign the agreement already? I have not heard from them since my deposit at the wedding show...so long?
 
Hi Kat22,
I am also a Sheraton Bride! Can I take a look at the flower setup pls?

my email is [email protected] Thanzzz! By the way, i forgot to thank you for yr invaluable advice the last time round.=)
 
Hi, Linz.

I had signed up with Sheraton during the wedding show.

My coordinator had already sent me the contract 2 weeks ago. So, i think you better check with your coordinator when you will get your contract.

Cheers.
 
Hi panda eyes, yes I am worried, esp when I have paid my full deposit. May I know who is ur coordinator? 2 weeks is a really long time...

Hello, my and Linz..

my coordinator is Alvin. He is very efficient and flexible. I liked him a lot.

Linz, i read your previous msg and learnt that you did not receive any documents from ST on the day you signed up with them. I can understand how worrying it can be, esp if you paid the deposit in full.

In my case, we only paid the rest of the deposit when we signed the contract.

My suggestion is that you better call your coordinator to ask what's causing the delay.

is your wedding date near?
 
Hi panda eyes, u mean u receive some form of documents on the day u signed at the show?

I have called my coordinator but it always seem to be on voicemail...

my wedding is late next yr.
 
Hello, Linz..

i received the contract 4 to 5 days after the wedding show. My coordinator first faxed it to me for perusal. Later, he mailed the original to us by post as we are too busy to meet him in person to sign.

I think you can leave a msg in your coordinator's voicemail. Perhaps, he will call you back.

Btw, when you said documents, what do you mean? i have received receipt of my payment when i first paid my deposit.

Have you fixed a specific wedding date with your coordinator? Perhaps, he is waiting for you to fix a specific date with him before he can send u the contract.

If you really cannot contact your coordinator, i would suggest you talk to someone else in ST to see if they can help you.

Hope that your problem will be solved soon..

Hi...
I had also signed up with ST during the bridal show few weeks ago. But I had not received any contract from them yet. My coordinator is Eng Yan. Just curious, anyone knows whether is it possible to change coordinator?
 
Does anyone knows whether ST has any themes for the restaurant decor? Can't remember the decor of the restaurant, stage, tables, chairs during the bridal show few weeks ago. Can someone enlighten me a little.
 
Hi LY,

I dun think Sheraton has any specific theme. My wedding in Sept was beautiful and Yan was my coordinator. She was very good and I had no problems with her. Once I finalised my wedding date, we went down to sign the contract and the document was posted to me a few days later.

Maybe you can give her a call again? Dun worry, all my guests enjoyed my party and they said the food was great! Hee hee... a few of my friends even tabao the food home.... they said it was too yummy to be wasted!!!
 
Hi LY

As from what I underst, each ST co ordinator is assigned to service the couple based on the groom's surname. But since u book with them during the show, the rule may not apply. I think Yan is good from the previous thread and if I am not wrong she holds a higher position than the other co ordinator.

Dun worry abt the contract, I am very sure St will honour yr deposit. Do give them a call
 
Hi ladies,

Was wondering how many dishes are we allowed to sample for the food tasting session cos I am trying to arrange it to be in the month of Nov/Dec period. Will we get all the 8-9 dishes that we choose or just a min. no.?

Hi Piggy,

sorry, it seems that no one replied to my qn. How many dishes are we allowed to try at the food tasting session?
 
Hi Excited Bride,

For me, I'm trying the full course. I'm having my food tasting next week. Will update when I'm done.
 
hi piggy,
may i know if Boston Lobster is refering to real lobster or is it refering to crayfish?

Pardon me for my ignorance...
 
Hi gemi,

I see. I was told that some hotels only allow couples to try only 6 dishes so I wanted to find out if that's the std practice or not (as claimed by other hotels).

let me know what's good and yummy!
 
Hi,
I am meeting my wedding coordinator soon. Actually we have to confirm 28 tables for weeekend the. Now due to the depressed economy, it is hard to get the people to fill up the 28 min tables. Has anyone tried to bargain with their coordinator to reduce the min contracted tables? Any suggestions?
 
Hi Bluey,

if yours is on a Sat, then it's very hard...sunday may have a chance...but 28 would be quite low to ST, as they can filled up to max 34..so if u were to want to go lower than 28...could be quite tough too.
 
Hi all,

just want to share that I have received my agreement from ST...and got in touch with my coordinator to sign the contract. I am very pleased with their service so far, although there was some worry about not getting my contract earlier on.

But my coordinator has surprised me by making the signing part a breeze, promising what was offered to us earlier on. For those who are thinking of checking out ST, do give it a try...although I have not gone thru my wedding with them yet...(as my banquet is next yr)...but I have confidence with them now.

Hi Excited Bride,

Actually initially, I was given only 6 seats for the food tasting. But managed to negotiate for 10. I'm not sure what's the normal practice, but right from the start, I was given 9 dishes, including the dessert.

Can't wait to eat this Sun. Will let you know the outcome next week.
 
Hi Mae,
Actually, Boston lobster is a tiny lobster (much like a special type of prawn) but its really fresh and yummy.

Hi Excited Bride,
Sorry, must have missed your posting. They gave me the full 9 dishes for 10 persons for food tasting and it was more than yummy
happy.gif
definitely beyond my expectations. Every single dish I had was excellent. Had the food tasting on my ROM day (kill 2 birds with 1 stone)....

But think the 10 person thinggy would vary from person to person. My min number of tables was 35 so maybe thats why they gave me 10 persons instead of the original 6? But the dishes are definitely whatever you'll be having for your banquet itself (ie 9). Hope it helps

Hi Excited Bride
Just for your info, some hotels require u to pay for your food tasting. Its good that ST does not plus the food is just so excellent ....Cannot forget the experience.....Thats why so "chiong hei"

Hi...

Just curious when do we usually have our food tasting???
Also, do you sign and send the contract to your coordinator or you go down ST to sign the contract?
Does your coordinators treat u to makan when u go and look for them?
 
Hi Sep 03,

No makan but got free drinks and free parking. Food tasting can be anytime u want (subject to availability - cos only 1 table at Li Bai per nite for food tasting). FT also not available for Sunday lunch (cos Li Bai has tim sum). Otherwise, all days are ok. I had mine the week after I signed up with ST.

I met coordinator first to see what they could do for me, then confirmed and pcaid my deposit together with signing contract on next trip. So went down to sign. Can enjoy the ambience whilst u discuss

Hi Piggy,

No lah! Not chiong heh at all! hahaa....I heard that Merchant Court only offered 6 dishes for trial and my friend told me that it's the standard for most hotels...that's why I was a bit worried cos I wanted to try all the 9 dishes in order to det. what's good or not. My FH's very fussy with food that's why he picked Sheraton over the other hotels and he won't be happy if it's only 6 dishes as told by my fren!

I wanted to have my food tasting in Sep but Alvin told me no hurry cos my bigday is in mar next yr so by tasting the food at a later stage, we will remember the taste better!
 
Hi all

I am new to the thread. My FH and I are thinking of signing up with ST. The only reservation we have is the L-shaped ballroom. My mum also says you cant see the whole area becos of the L-shaped. Any comments on this?
 
Hi Tammy,

I have signed up with ST.Frankly,the L-shaped ballroom is the only minus point for ST.However,if yours is only 25-30 tables,it is quite ok as only 1 ballroom with the lower ceiling will be opened up.I attended wedding dinners at ST before and I think it is still the best in terms of food,service,ambience and perks etc.
 
Hi Excited Bride,

About the number of dishes,I remember being concerned about that as well but my coordinator just told me the dishes for food tasting would be as per the actual day....so no worries there.

Moreover, its normally not a problem for ST to provide the full 9 course for food tasting as they pride themselves on their food...
happy.gif
Cannot blame them, hope its just as good on the actual day... Can always send Alvin an email to confirm and ease your fears..

btw: even if you have the food tasting half a year early, guarantee wont forget the taste one lah...

Hi gals,
Has anyone seen the latest ballroom setup done by Sheraton. I have just been to see my coordinator and there is only one design to choose no choice. I am worried how it will turn out. there is also no candle setting, not very nice leh. Pls make me feel at ease.
 
Hi Jasmine,

I took a look at the ballroom yesterday when I went for my food tasting. I dun like the new set-up also, not very outstanding leh. Think I'll discuss with my co-ordinator if they are able to give me something else, or at least the one I saw during the Wedding Show in March.

As for the food, the servings were really generous and the food was great. Decided to change my 1st dish as we think that the cold plate we chose earlier had too much meat. Other than that, the food was fabulous. So dun worry.
 
Are u all referring to the set up, with the stage having a big piece of white cloth over it?? Looks awful leh that one...I saw it in the wedding show...

are we able to change the set up?
