Hi Nebear, welcome to our sheraton brides forum.

So who is your co-ordinator? Wah.. u really book early... did you hear anything about the wedding show? Wonder whether it is still on...mmmm...

Hi Janice, think u should start contacting them early sep to find out the status. Let them know when are the planned dates.. I remember michele telling me that the food tasting took place two months before the AD.. so u still have time.

Hi Jonic, wah..u really plan fast! hee.. can relax now.. so do you have any pre wedding shoots to show us?

Hows yr photoshoot?
 
thanks jonic & PP,

jonic u really fast man!can share wat lse to do besides those i mentioned?? mi very blur one...

mi not so gan qiong bec more worried abt my reno..hehe..alright i will try to arrange with them n see how lor..

my coordinator is nelson..
 
Hi PP, my coordinator is Jane. Yah, juz want to settle it early so I can relax. haha... but luckily i booked early becoz now the price is $80 more per table. :>

Jane did not mention to me about their wedding show. maybe becoz i din ask.
 
Hi ladies,

I've just signed up w Sheraton too and my co-ordinator is Michele.

So far my encounter w her is quite ok, she usually replies to my email on the same day, if not by the next working day.

But i must agree that she's very stingy w her perks, i nvr manage to get anything much out of her. Perhaps my AD is quite a hot date, so she's not hard up to sell it away.

Hi PP,
Haha...cos I kiasu mah so faster settle the things then no need to rush. I had taken my PS...selected my photos and going to collect my album in Sep. Think I can only show u after I collect my album. Actually, I'm not really satisfied with my PS.

Hi Janice,
PP is right...food tasting is 2 mths before ur AD. U have to select the dishes u want for food tasting and info them at least 2 wks before ur food tasting. For food tasting date, try to pick a few dates and let them know early. As for cards, think u can make appointment with American Wedding Treasure to select ur card. Remember to count and check each n every piece of ur cards when u collect them cos there were a few torn cards when I collect them today...luckily I checked. Besides food tasting n cards, maybe u can start finding ur songs for march in. Michele advised us to use original cd for special moments like march in, champagne pouring to be safe. We will get to choose our decor and wedding favours 1 mth before our AD.
 
thanks jonic for ya advise..think i still haf time to nua..haha

mi too not very satisfied with my PS..in terms in the BS's service...haiz...till not mi still not very happy with them n delayed looking at my layout for abt 3 weeks lor..
 
Hi nebear, yes, that is true. If u settle early some of the things first, u can concentrate on the rest..
happy.gif
Slowly take your time. I also took your approach...so very relax now.. preparing my ROM though... How come u are not happy with the PS? The photos or the service?

Janice,when are your photos coming out? Maybe you should "complain" to the manager to escalate this lo.. sometimes it does work..
 
hmm...i was just very unhappy with my BS bec they didnt do my layout the way i want it to be..they edited and wanted me to go take a look..but till now still very reluctant to go and face these pple lor..n i dun feel interested to see the new layout..

imagine i still have to deal with them for my wedding gowns n photozz...sianz!

hopefully ST wun give me the same problems by leaving mi a bad impression when i deal with them later..if nelson didnt contact me by sept, then i will contact him abt the cards thingy..

so which printer is good and cheap? spent all my fortune on reno lor..haha
 
Hi Janice, Is it the same team of the ppl who sign you up for the package? How come they are so inflexible...mmmm

Maybe you should feedback to the boss... Be a happy bride.. try not to be upset..
happy.gif
 
hi pp, i would say yesh it's the same pple im dealing with...but anyway, all bec mi not willing to top up pics so they say cant do the layout i wanted it to be..

they called mi up yday asking mi to see my layout again..it was delayed for abt 1 mth liaoz..

yesh, im happy now with my reno preparation instead..keke...not so much abt the wedding preparation...lol
 
hi janice, poor u.. hate this type of service. Sometimes, i find prices increases everywhere but the service standard we are getting is never improve..

Luckily, my bs change new management recently, I heard horror stories before on the old management.. now with this new management, i am so happy. Went there and they gave me a very positive attitude.. like what u said, really makes it a happy thing to do rather than dragging yrself there.

Saw your reno preparation.. hehee.. happy for u... afterall, a home sweet home is the best.
happy.gif


Hi Angela, nope.. did not resolve the issue leh.. did u manage to get her?
 
hee.... me no too.. she suddenly seems MIA in my life....

anyway, i will start to 'chase' her again in sep.... haha, hopefully by then she would have improved....

happy.gif
 
hi angela, wah.. u are really fast in getting news..
happy.gif
Finally they have the wedding show.. but we have already sign up .. not sure if it is appropriate to go there.. haha.. maybe not. Wanted to see their new themes and setup.. who is going? those brides to be.. should go.. one bottle of wine per table..sounds a good deal...
happy.gif
 
Hi All,

hi ladies, esp jonic our super fast lady,

Nelson took the initiative to call me up today with regards to the food tasting date, wedding cards...im really glad that i dun haf to call them up and ask them what to do...
happy.gif
Nelson also requested to meet us up again just to reconfirm the contract details..& i thought that was good!
wink.gif


btw, it seems that i cant get to see the cards from AWT online..so i haf to really go down & see? also is the printer ST recommending cheap & good? or any other lobangs for recommendation??
 
Hi brides!

Have anyone been to your food tasting? I am going for mine soon but am torn between some dishes in certain category, let me know if you have any good recommendations or comments to the food in particular:

SOUP - Shark's fin w/ Seafood & Bamboo Piths (any idea what seafood it is?)

FISH - What fish is good? Is the canadian cod same as the normal cod fish we always get to eat here? Is pan-fried cod fish a nice dish?

MEAT - any good recommendation? I am thinking of Li Bai Herbal Emperor Chicken

VEG - Stewed Winter Melon sounds exotic w/ carrot sauce... is it nice?

Any favourite dishes that any of you would highly recommend?

Thank you sooooo much for any comments... cos i m left w/ < 2 months to my wedding and have not prepare much... any info will be useful!!!

Thanks.
 
Hi Janice,

I have just selected my wedding cards from AWT. You have to call them up and fixed an appt. Last appt on weekdays in 6pm. I also cant view online.

There is a thread on forum on printing of cards and many pple talk abt Axxa. I have yet to call them up to find out.
 
Hi May,
Oh...so ur AD is coming real soon. How's ur preparation?

Hi Janice,
Should be super KS I think :P Seems like Nelson is not bad...at least no complains unlike mine. Dun think u can view AWT cards online...have to go down n view them. Dun expect too much from AWT too...in terms of service. AWT also provides printing service but it's really exp! There's definitely cheaper ones. ST recommends T-Dragon but I'm using Focal-AD...so far so gd.

Hi Crystalite,
I haven't gone for my food tasting so can't advise u. But u reminded me to start selecting my dishes for my food tasting. So when's ur food tasting?
 
hi firefly &amp; jonic,

thanks for ya advice...can roughly advise me on the printing cost for say abt 200 cards?? how long does it take for printing to be completed?
 
Hi Janice,

The price depends on the type of printing u choose, normal printing, hotstamping etc....and whether u are printing on the card or insert. I chose normal printing direct on the card. Costs me $107 for 217 cards. I confirmed my details for my card this week...yet to hear from my printer when can we collect our cards. Hopefully will hear from them next week.
 
Janice,
I have checked with Hi-Tech Printing from AMK Ind Park. They quoted flat printing onto insert $80 for 200pcs(includes inserts). Colour of the font is matte dark gold. Din ask abt hot-stamping as we wanna save cost.

They only need 3 working days. However its better to cater some buffer in case of wrong printing or anything that is unexpected happens.

Hi Jonic,
May i know which printer you go to ? AWT quite expensive ... so I have to source elsewhere.

Btw u going to the wedding show on 16 Sep ?
 
Hi Angela,
So qiao ah..1 week after mine..hmmm then hv u had ur food tasting? Mine tis coming 23Sep..my Guo da li date as well as my hubby's birthday..haah.. guess u hvnt finalise the deco etc rite?

Hi Jonic,
Hmmm my preparation ah....so far ok..need to finalise quite a lot of things after e 7th mth...gg to check out e bridal show on e 16sep then gg for my food tasting a week later &amp; then finalise deco,wedding favor etc..so excited..

Hi All,
I printed my cards at Focal ads and mine was about $117 for 260 cards..turnaround time is about a week or so... Hi Tech seems cheap aso..aiyaa wasted...but my cards r ready for pickup...yeh!! And my advice to all is to go AWT &amp; check out e design and order early in case no stocks &amp; u hv to wait...
 
Hi Crystalite, I am aso torn btw some dishes... gotta give her my selected menu fast.

Anyone tried these..thinking of taking these but nt sure if its gd
1) Sharks Fin Soup "Capital" Style
2) Steamed Star Garoupa HK Style
3) Sauteed Fresh Scallops with Snow pea, lotus root and chinese celery with spicy sauce (Topped with Deep fried Soft shell crab)
4) Stewed Winter melon w assorted fungus &amp; Mushroom, topped with carrot sauce

Welcome all opinion... Thanks in advance
 
Hi firefly,
I printed my cards at Focal ads too. Didn't go n source ard...found their price quite reasonable as compared to AWT so gave them my cards. Still haven't decide whether to go for the show....dun want to pay the fee but feel like going to take a look at e decor :P So when's ur AD?

Hi May,
I see...u will be busy with ur preparation after the 7th mth then. For the wedding show, did u pay to attend? I sent my cards to Focal Ad for printing too but yet to hear from them...it's 1 week after I had confirmed my template...starting to be a little worried. So u waited 1 wk to collect ur cards?

Here are my selected dishes for food tasting:
1) Deluxe Traditional Hors d’ Oeuvre
(Combination of Suckling Pig, Roast Duck, Vegetarian Goose and Drunken Chicken, garnished with Jellyfish)
2) Shark’s Fin Soup “Capital†Style
(Dried Scallops, Shredded Duck, Fish Maw and Mushrooms)
3) Sliced Abalone with Sea Cucumber and Hong Kong Seasonal Vegetables
4) Steamed or Pan-fried Canadian Cod with Garlic and Spring Onion Sauce
5) Sautéed Prawns with Walnut, Celery and Capsicum in X.O. Sauce
With choice of one of the following accompaniments:
Deep-fried Soft Shell Crab
6) Marinated Chicken smoked with Jasmine Tea Leaves
7) Braised Seasonal Vegetables with Chinese Mushrooms, topped with Crabmeat Sauce
8) Fish Noodles with Lobster “Japanese Styleâ€
9) Sweetened Sago Cream with Mango

Any comments? Thanks!

hello gals, I did call the co-ordinator to ask the wedding show. she told me that I need to register, going to be full house.. haiz.. for the themes, now is DIY.. no more "themes" by them.. I think we can select our diy themes.. sounds interesting...

Janice - its next sunday..
happy.gif
 
Hey jonic...hahahah.... so coincidental... I guessed that was u too..u r already in my list. I will be gg down to e bridal show...&amp; yes coordinator say limited seats so must register. Haii.
 
PP,
So are u going for the show?

May,
So u r destinee? Think most probably I'm not going for the show liao. Hopefully they will set up the day b4 the show....then I can pop in and have a look when I have my food tasting...hehe
 
Hi jonic, no leh. i might not be going. busy with my ROM stuff.. so maybe give it a skip.. hee.. so if u are going.. please take pics to share with us! hee.
happy.gif
 
Yo jonic..yepyep u r rite... btw I am gg to confirm my menu with Michele for the food tasting..decided to try the "Stewed Winter Melon with Assorted Fungus and Mushrooms, topped with carrot sauce"...if realli cannot make it then I will change to other dish..
 
Hi joinc:

For this dish,Shark’s Fin Soup “Capital†Style
(Dried Scallops, Shredded Duck, Fish Maw and Mushrooms) do u know if there will be shark fin inside this soup? BTW, our wedding is quite close, did u discuss your theme with your coordinator already? I will be having food tasting on 7th Oct..
 
Any idea does the grand ballroom has high ceiling and long march-in? I always have this impression that Sheraton is quite a old hotel, after the reno how does the hotel look like now?
 


jojo..for e ballrm, it is a L-shape one where Ballrms 1 &amp; 2 are high ceiling and Ballrms 3 &amp; 4 are lower ceiling.. u can choose short or long march in, depending on the no of guests u hv.. go for a site visit and check out for urself as likings are pretty personal.
