Hi mail lum and mr_bean,
Yes, I attended a dinner in Marriott last year. The food was delicious, but I actually can't remember what was the menu, only remember the Wan Hao crisy chicken was fantastic. The servings were very generous. Sound like the standard remains the same this year, hope it will be the same in end of yr2004!!! (hope the main chef is not going back to HK hee heee...)
so, mr_bean please keep us inform about your findings okie!
hmmm... I attended about 5 weddings last year, only remember Marriott's food taste great..

Hi All
I had attended 3 or 4 times Marriott's wedding dinner within the last 2 years. The food was great, service was good and the sound system was really great too.
My friend just held her dinner there and she said the wedding planners were all very nice and very professional
I am glad to be holding my dinner at Marriott next year too
As for the results of the lucky draw, only the winners will be notified. You can call your coordinator to check :x

Hi all,
thanks for all the replies.
After all the positive remarks of Marriott's food, I felt so much better.
Actually I was a bit turned off by Hyatt's service. When I called to make appointment, the person told me their coordinator are all very busy, no last minute appointment even though I am in a hurry to find a hotel (wedding dinner is in Dec) and I have to wait for them to call.
Dun tell me not even one person is free to entertain me?
Was so pissed off.

Hi Melissa,
Heard about the promotion from Hyatt. My friend actually signed up during the 1st meeting with the co-ordinator. all bargains are done thru phone and e-mails. maybe their biz is really good la, afterall they got 1 grand ballroom + many function rooms for wedding on the same day.
Congratulations! your wedding is one month away only!!! do come back to give us advise and updates
meanwhile, do let us know if you need help, guess it is kind of rush to prepare hor.
Hi Jo,
Do you know if the draw is already over? I called Marriott a few times to check, but nobody can answer me about the lucky draw. Can't reach Angela too, she is far too busy... hmmm...thou the wedding show is over... but in that case, the lucky draw sound unfair, because there is no way for us to know the results, so actually the prizes may not exist at all!!!??

Hi all,
My wedding dinner is on the 31st Dec this year, was really lucky to get a nice date since it was a last min booking. The couple cancelled their wedding and Marriott offered that day to me at weekday charge instead of weekend.
My co-ordinator is Angela too, she is very nice.

Hi everyone
I attended my fren wedding last Oct at Marriott and I remembered that the dishes were tasty. I asked my fren and she told me she paid abt $750 per table (wkday). Guess we will have to top up if we want better food.
Everyone have been telling me that food taste better during food tasting, but during actual dinner, it might not be as gd.
June Florist (JF) is a well-known name, guess it better to stick with them. Personally I think JF is good too. Can save that $100! it'll be great to have the ballrm scented, but wow, soo expensive!
Yalor, dun know who's the lucky couple to win the top prize. we shld all call in to check it out!

Hello,
JF is the default florist for Marriott banquets. Not sure if they can provide scenting also. The scenting company I was refering is la Brise. Have met them in many bridal shows, their "vanilla rose garden" fragrance is so sweet and wonderful that I can never forget!!!! I can't help, but like it very much!
girlz, you are so smart! don't know how much discount we can get if we pool up? I only know that we can have 10% off if 2 couples taking the service together. not sure if we can get even more discount for 3-4 couples??? ha ha
pink_dot, many people told me that June Florist is a well-known name, thou I personally don't know la hee heee... but since so many pple said they are good, I don't want to take the risk to engage with another florist.

Hi girlz,
nope, I din change any of the items on the menu. However, I did change some things within the dishes. You can ask your co-ordinator what the options are.
If you are not super particular about the food, the standard menu is really considered quite decent and presentable liao. Might as well spend the $ on better wine..

Hi lemoncake,
Hehe... how I wish i'm taking Master degree, but I'm only taking double degree. Will be taking a break now, cos too stressful liao... will do it slowly and will have to drag till 2005 or 2006.
Hi girlz,
I was buried into my notes and textbooks for the past few weeks.... now got my freedom liao.. heheee... the feeling is so nice! Now, got to concentrate on my wedding preparation....
Can I check with you gals, if you are offering red wines to your guest? Me & FH might just want to do with the free flow of beer, hard liqour and the soft drinks. Dun wan to use wine cos its additional charges to bear.
Btw, gals here... sorry to sidetrack abit. Have u found your bridal boutique? Cos i'm in the midst of finding one too.
Cheerios!

Hi mr bean,
thanks, I will look into it.
To all Marriott Brides,
Just to check with those who have their perks or items listed wrongly on the confirmation contract. So did you ask your coordinator to do a revise copy and let you sign again? Cos I have called up my coordinator and he asked me to make the amendment on the copy itself and send back to them and they will sent back a revise copy to me. Btw, just to check, we are suppose to return them the whole copy and the duplicate is for our reference right? I very scare if I make the amendments and sent back to them and what if they pretend not to see it and just ignored it?

Rochor,
Look for Ivy at Milan...
I seriously think that it is better for them to amend it and send it back to us. To prevent any to and fro communication, I think we can ask them to sent via email first, before sending a hard copy. Pardon me for saying this, but i feel that this should be part of service.. doesnt feel right to ask us to amend ourself and send it back to them. Is not our fault in the first place...

Hi all,
What a coincidence, so many of us like Milan. Mine is Milan too!
Congrats Jo and pianokey!!! You are so lucky! I didn't win any lucky draw since primary school, sob sob! seems like I also didn't win anything, have to buy 4D and toto liao!
I think it is better to serve wine lor, already spent so much for the wedding, I think if there'r 25 tabs, serving wine will add less than $1000 extra to your bill. But many people like to eat with wine, so I guess it is better to have wine la.
As for the contract, mine already amended 2 times. each time I confirmed the changes via e-mail, then Angela agree and sent me a new revised copy to sign.

Hi all,

And the extra cost will be abt $1500. Cos we have too many relatives so forsee that we will have to lugi on the ang pows collected. So if we serve the wines and very lugi liao.
Seems tat Jo and pianokey very lucky
...cos I dun have any luck on such things one...
Abt my contract, I still very upset leh, how can he asked me to amend on the contract myself and sent back to him. So be the other way round mah... haiz, dun noe what to do leh.

Hi girlz,
My milan package is the $2998 only. if you go there 1 wk before/after your birthday, you can enjoy 10% off. Also, they are willing to absorb 4% GST if you asked. The package I managed to get after negotiation includes: upgrade from 18 pcs 10R to 24 pcs 15R; free album; 24 pcs 4R photos; 2 table top; 1 portrait; 100pcs 2R photo thank you cards; 1 PS and 1 AD OTR wedding gown; 1 OTR eveing gown; 1 tea dress; 1 bridesmaid gown; 1 PS kua; 1 E200 bridal car with decor; flowers; PS make-up...
I bargain quite a lot because I didn't sign up on my b-day and I didn't take their make-up artist on my AD. and also, they have introducing scheme, my friend intro me to them, so they automatically give me all those things I friend could get. meanwhile my friend can have 2 15R photos as reward.

Rocher,
since he asked you to amend it yourself, then you have freedom to write whatever you want ma!!! but make sure you do not sign on it and force him to replace you a revised copy upon receiving yours.
should feel happy okie! you still can bargain as long as you have not sign it!!!

Hi ladies
yes, am interested to scent the ballrm but I dun think JF can do it.. I might look for La Brise but it too costly, $450 leh! even if they were to offer us 10% off, it's still $405!! sob sob
Pianokey, congrats! sigh, guess I'm not the lucky one..
Think am getting only RED wine to serve the guest during the dinner. will purchase the wine frm marriott (the cheapest, of course) and getting 6 bttls free (frm the wish list). hopefully 30 bottles will be enough to last thru the dinner..
sorry, sidetrack again.. hve signed up with Golden Horse Award a yr back during a wedding fair.. my fren was a GHA bride and the photos taken by their photographer are very nice.. am with GHA's thread but would also like to find out what do you gals think! afterall, only paid the deposit..

Hi girlz,
I intend to write him a fax or email cos its a black and white.
Actually, I went to JB last sun with my couple friend. We went to the JB wedding expo but found nothing great there. After some recommendation with one lady who also went to the show, she drives us to 'Yi Ji Mei' bridal shop at Tun Aminah. She signed up with them too. There are a few packages and the most expensive one is a RM$5288 package. The pix quite nicely taken, but we have yet to sign up with them. But my friend not interested cos she dun like the wedding gowns and the places they went for outdoor shooting.
Maybe will visit JB again to source for more BS. How abt u? U taking JB packages as well?

Hi Rochor,
Ya lor..better play safe lor...wait ur coordinator act blur...the best is that u can cc his manager...dun know whether it's good or not lah...but it's to safe-guard ur benefits lor...
I dun think i'll go for JB package lor...quite troublesome to go in to source...also abit afraid that the shop will "disappear"....hehehe...not meant to scare u lah...but at least if it's in s'pore, u have heard abt the shop...more reliable...and also the trouble of going in for fittings, and photoshoot...u have to consider all these lor...maybe not really worth the savings lor...

Hi girlz,
I have already emailed him liao, only way is to wait for his reply...
Ic... so have u source for ur bridal shop liao? Lemoncake's milan package seems very good offer. But hor, if i take JB package I need to find my own bridal car. The rental for one day is very high... so now calculating the cost, if the difference not great then might as well take Spore package cos like what you have said time on the transportation and others make up for the difference.

pretty ladies
we are very sidetrack olreadi! it's suppose to be Marriott thread! opps!! Hhahaha
ok lah, to cut story short, I've paid 500 bucks to Golden Horse Award, they hv 2 branches, at yishun & tampines. when I signed up is $3288, but I can change to any package nearer to date..
Yah, love their gowns, those featured in mag were simply 'Wow!.
I know scenting ballrm doesnt come cheap, so still considering. I love the scent "Lily of the Valley"..
btw, wonder if Marriott will allow us to use the 2 screens beside the stage, instead of the one at the side of the rm.. guests will hve better view of the video montage.

Pink dot,
actually you don't have to worry about guests not able to see the video cos' the screen on the sides are quite big. For my case, I only had 1 (on the left side of the ballroom), even the guests who sat right behind were able to see clearly. Having 2 screens at the same time may mean that your projectors will have to synchronize with each other. According to my videographer, there may be a possibility one of the 2 may delay a few seconds when screening.

Hi all, have you all signed the final copy of your contract? Guess I have revised too many times, till now still haven't received my final contract!!! are we supposed to pay another $2000 in order to make the contract valid?
Hi Melissa,
For the flowers, I asked a few flower shops in shopping centres...Wheelock place, Jurong Point, west mall, Holland V...
For the car, I forgot what numbers I called, my friends gave me a list of numbers collected from yellowpage+magzines before my ROM. but in general, the price is around 350+/-, without driver!!! so at the end, I didn't rent any Merz la. also, not sure how's the quality of the car, have to go try run and check out, very troublesome!

Hi pink_dot,
If you want 2 screens, you need to rent 2 projectors then, very ex leh, one project already costs 450+++!!! and the sceens are smaller hah?
Hi Lilac,
I believe the montage (one of the wishes) from Marriott is actually done by Academy right? do they have someone come to set up/air the montage?

Hello
Hmm, i still prefer to have 2 screens on the front as guests sitting on the left nearer to the entrance will not have to "stretch" their head to view it lor.. anyway, this can be decided nearer to date..
My main concern is the FOOD! sigh! I mean, I do knw how tasty the food are, but no matter how gd the dishes were, I feel that I'm obligated to pleased our frens/relatives by including more big items dishes, such as abalone, scallop etc.. dun you gals feel the same too?
lemoncake, I've alreadi signed and returned the duplicate copy of the contract. No, you dun have to pay the additional 2K now but 2 months before the actual day. btw, can you remind me again when is yr actual day?

Hi,
I totally agree... i did ask around, and some of my friends who attended the weddings at Marriott like the food there. However, after much probe, i realised that the menu are quite ex... in the 700+++ range. Thus, the problem i guess is how much do we need to top up to make the food presentable...

Hi Lemoncake,
actually my photo montage wasn't from Marriott. I engaged Ken Chan from Wed TV and took a complete package with him that's inclusive of photo & video montage.
Mr Bean,
I basically took the Harmony package but modify some of the dishes as recommended by Angela
1) Cold dish - vermicelli rolls, prawn salad, japanese mini octopus, bbq pork and jelly fish. - apparently, you can mix n match the items inside.
2) Stir-fried shrimps & sliced chicken w celery
3) Braised shark's fin soup w bamboo pith & shredded chicken - heard from guest tat tis one wasn't tat good, you may be better off with the one w fish maw
4) Braised black mushrooms & beancurd sheet w veg. Quite nice, big mushrooms
5) Steamed seabass with yellow beans - very yummy, all the guests loved it!
6) Wan Hao Signature crispy roast chicken - another yummmy one, have got gd comments for tis too.
7) Braised Ee-fu noodles w shredded mushrooms & chives
8) Sweetened red bean cream w lotus seed, lily bulbs & dumplings - Angela offered me tis though its not in d 2 menus I could chose from.

Hello pink_dot,
your concern reminds me of a recent wedding I attended, I stretched my head to watch the montage as I was just sitting below the screen! not sure if our ballroom is big enough to keep some distance from the screen? maybe you are right la, afterall 2 screens in front is better than 1 screen at the side... have to find out more details then.
Hi mr_bean,
What are the food in that menu? recently I have a friend told me the food in Marriott is not as good as Hyatt! Oh!!! I am worried liao! Then I asked what's the menu in Marriott, he told me there'r bird nest, abalon, garoupa, scallop and Irene's tiramisu as desert!!! I seriously wonder how much is this menu and how can my fren said this is still not as good as Hyatt??? I want to faint liao!

Hi all,
I have emailed to Mark about the changes in the contract.... but till now no news from him. Btw, any one out here whose coordinator is Mark as well?
I need some advice from you girls... I have actually changed my photo montage to the digital portrait. Cos Mark told me that they are using Powerpoint to do it. So I have told him that I will do it myself instead. And now, I do not know if they outsource this photo montage to professionals or they are doing it themselves?
Hi Lilac,
Is your photo montage done in powerpoint as well? If I'm doing the photo montage myself, do you think u can lent me yours, so that I can have a rough idea of how it looks like.

Hi pink_dot, lemoncake,
I have enquired on the 2 side screens before. but Mark told me that Marriott only have 1 laptop and 1 cable. So it can only run on one screen which is on the right corner of the ballroom. And he said that if I have the laptop and cable, then can make arrangement to run them on the 2 side screens.
Btw, I have a contact for the bridal car. His name is Mr. Ong, 9101 4235. Tell him that you’re looking for a bridal car. He’s Chinese-speaking.

Hi Lilac,
ic.. but hows the format of your photo montage? I mean the flow of the montage and oso your photographer uses only that pix that u have provided for him?
Sorry for asking so many questions.. cos I am deciding if I want to do it myself or let Marriott do it (one of the wishes). Cos I can only do simple ones w/o any interactivity.
