Hi Mae, Jasmine and Sept03,
I'm not too sure too...but when I asked my coordinator, I was told that the stage decor that I see during the wedding show would be the actual day one...I asked whether we could change it...as I personally feel that the huge white cloth over the whole stage looks "drappy"...but was told most prob cannot...but then again, things might change next yr...

Hi Everyone,
I had recently went to meet Roger from ST to discuss about my wedding banquet package. I found that he speaks very fast and his attitute during the discussion is very intimidating and not at all accomodative with the package contents.
Anyone had Roger as their wedding coordinator too? How to handle this type of person when discussing about the banquet package? Please help!
Thanks, SJ

Hi SJ,
I'm an ST bride too and just happened to see your comments, my coordinator is also Roger. I agree with you that he speaks very fast and the first time i met him, i thought it was because he was very busy because a wedding was going on. I realise now that he speaks like that all the time.
On the whole, I think hes great, hes been accomodating to all of our requests and hes very prompt with his replies... why don't you try communicating with him via the email or request for a change of coordinator if you don't feel comfortable with him? Think thats the most important thing, to be comfortable. Don't worry, different people react differently to different people thats all... sure he means no harm

Thanks Linz & Ming for providing some comments. Maybe I take it that Roger is not willing to listen to my request when he speaks very fast(like rushing for time).
Will try to negotiate with him again the next time I meet up with him to see whether we can come to a compromise. Will request for another coordinator if things really didn't turn out well.
Things I asked for are like waiver of wine cockage charges and food tasting for 10 person instead of 6.
What about yr? Did yr ask for more stuff which I had missed?

Mind sharing with me the cost and the stuff included in the package? U can send it to my email - [email protected]
Thanks.

Hi SJ and Ming,
I have not finalised my date yet. And becos' it is lunch, my coordinator will still allow me to keep the dates open...since lunch tends not to be too popular yet. But it also seems like ST has very good reservations for their lunch banquet.
Most of the perks I got were from the wedding show, so nothing extra. Didn't manage to get free corkage for every tables leh. Actually the one main reason we signed up wit ST is becos' of their good reviews for food. We felt in the end, that was most impt...becos' we did a "mini survey" amongst our would-be guests and find that food ranked no. 1 in their opinions...they paid ang baos to come enjoy good food...not so much of posh hotels and ambience... ;|
But SJ and Ming, how come your menu for lunch only 6 dishes? Mine got 7 leh.

Hi Linz,
so you actually got yr perks from the wedding show. For me, I actually just ask them to send me the lunch package and discuss from there. So mind sharing what are the perks that you get from them?
Which month will your wedding be held?

Hi Linz and Ming,
I will going down to ST to discuss the lunch package with Roger this week.
Mind if I ask if there are beer included in yr package? How many nights will your be entitled to stay in their suite? 1 or 2 nights? What is the minimum number of tables that yr need to fulfill?
Hope that yr can advise me so that I know what to expect in the package.
Thanks.

Hi SJ,
Sorry i've been MIA, was away for the weekend and had no internet access.
I think you misunderstood me about the number of courses, I meant that the free food tasting was only for 6 people and he refused to give more. I cannot remember how many courses there were for lunch though, think it was the standard one though.
I had a barrel of beer (the small one, 20L?) and 1 night in the suite. And i booked for about 30 tables.

Hi Ming, thanks for replying. So I guess the number of people to go for food tasting is fixed at 6 person for lunch wedding.
But Roger did offer you a barrel of beer? I did not have that in my package. Maybe bcos I am only having ard 20 tables.
Will be meeting him next week. Hope to firm up the contents and if possible sign the contract then.
Will keep you update ok. Thanks.

To Brides Who Have Just Held Their Wedding at ST,
How do you find the latest 2002 ballroom set up. Found the backdrop very plain, any sugeestion to enhance it. Thought we can choose florist, but seems like no choice leh. How about the petal throwing without dry ice. is it too plain?

I thought there are two designs for the stage decor? That day i went to sign my contract and requested to see the stage decor as there was a dinner that evening....Found that decor very ugly...
It's a piece of white cloth with a gold ribbon.
Dunno whether is that the actual stage decor?
If it is, it's so disappointing...

Hi,
I m going to Sheraton to meet the coordinator soon. My coordinator is Roger. Any comments on him? Is he flexible? And is it possible to ask them for free seat covers? Most hotels are not charging for tat and I find it quite stupid tat they do.

Alvin is a very nice and helpful person. It's a pity we are not going to have it at Sheraton Towers as we have changed the date. Well..met Alvin in the gym last week.
Hi gals,
I just had my wedding at Sheraton..and I must really commend them on their fantastic services. Everything was being done beautifully, and the staff - from the coordinator, AV guy, captain - were really very good and friendly. I felt totally at ease, no need to chase for anything, as they're really very proactive. Alvin even called my room to remind me to order dinner from the in-house menu, before my make-up artiste came so that I won't spoil my make-up.
And I didn't have to feel hungry at all with the fantastic in-house menu, and the warm food and cake kept after the wedding banquet for us. So thoughtful of them. All these little things really make you feel good.
The food was wonderful and special, as commented by friends and relatives...
So for those that are considering Sheraton..go for it. You won't regret.
Special thanks to Alvin and those that have made our wedding so special and memorable.

Hi damnjian,
Glad that things went well for you too.
Hi Kat22,
Nice to hear from you again. Can give me your e-mail address again..wanted to send the link to you...I'm back from honeymoon..spent about 2 weeks in NZ. It was great, so it was quite anti-climax to come back to work.
Sep03,
Actually I think there's only one design...initially I din really like it, but with the soft lightings, it doesn't look so bad. I can send you some pics, but I can only do later, earliest maybe next week, as I just got my photos. Need time to scan and upload. Choon Huat took some great photos of the table display, stage, etc...

Hi Sep03,
Yup that's the one. I just sent my negatives to be converted to CD-Rom, so I'll send you the digital images probably early next week. I'm afraid there isn't much choice when it comes to the stage. Perhaps you can try something with the flowers??
Hi Yvonne,
Why don't you call Sheraton directly to check with them. You may wish to call Alvin at 68395811.
Ask them if they have any promo going on. With promo, you can more perks.

Hi Gemi & Damnjian,
Happy for both of u that your weddings at ST are great. Like the other ST brides, I'm confident of the food but not too sure the decor will turn out nice or not. Though the contract says "Your own" decor, it seems like we cannot choose?!? Did you get to choose the flowers on the stage?
Can I see both your photos? Thanks! Please email me at [email protected]

Hi SJ,
Have uploaded 3 pics. Sorry but the stage one I had doesn't show the soft lighting. It looks nicer when the soft yellow light shines on it.

I will need some time to sort and upload the photos. Wil let you know when they are ready.

The first time I saw it, I didn't like it also. But seriously, it's not that bad lah...frankly speaking, everybody will be concentrating on looking the bride and bridegroom to notice much of the other things....
If deco is what you value most, and if you really don't like it, discuss with your co-ordinator to see if you can do something else. They may have the old design for you.
For us, the excellent service and quality of food was more important to us....

Hi Gemi,
My sentiments exactly.I'm not too particular about the decor,its not too ugly to me..
No one will really focus too much on the stage decor as the focus will be on the couple,the food and service, and the program that night.
