Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel

I have been to Marriott 2 weeks ago, there seems to have some major renovation going on, both outside the building and inside. I saw a notice that they are renovating the guest rooms on higher level.

Does anyone know where is the bridal suite? Which floor is it located? I am hoping that it is one of those undergoing the reno...hee heee and anyone know if they are renovating the ballroom as well?
 


I did not manage to see the bridal suite a few weeks ago when I met Angela. However, she told me that the ballroom was just renovated in 2000 or 2001, so I don't think that they will be renovating it again. However, u can check with the co-ordinators.

trying desperately to get a venue and BS now! so siong.....
 
hi everyone, is Marriot open for negotiation?? i am wondering if i should book before 1st may for the early bird 2005 special, but i am still trying to see which hotel should i go for.
 
Hi Winne,

They are not very open for negotiation esp about the corkage charges and beer. However, if u are asking for the trial to be extended to 10 pax, additional cards & carpark, they are ok....good luck in the negotiation

Hi blursotong, thanks for ur reply. oh no, i was still thinking of asking for free flow of beer, anniversary room, thank you dinner for helpers....


hehheee very greedy. *faint* now not sure which hotel is more open to negotiation or i should stick with Pan Pac which has offered most of the perks i wanted as part of the package.
 
Hi Winnie,

I met Angela, one of Marriott's co-ordinators. She's very nice. You can try to negotiate with her. If you really like Marriott, then it's better that you take the early bird special because Angela said that the 2005 pkg will be out soon and there will be increase in prices.

I also like Marriott very much but the corkage charges are too high, and this may be the hidden cost that may be a burden later on.
 
Hi winnie

unless you get the hotel's wine, otherwise, it will be charged at S$25+ per bottle..

Been to PanPac too, but I still prefer marriott ley, and their junior ballrm is quite disappointing too..
 
Hi Pink dot, do you mind sharing why the junior room is disappointing? sorry you referring to Marriot or PP?

Thank you,
 
Hi lemoncake, lilac, forest, Mel, girlz,

Thanks for your advice and help

My wedding went smoothly last Thursday and everything was great! It was a most memorable experience for my hubby and I
happy.gif
!

The sound effect for the march-in was fantastic! My guests enjoyed the video montage very much although the picture resolution wasn't very clear when they were blown up on the screen.

To all brides-to-be,

Remember to EAT before the wedding coz' u won't get to eat much during the dinner. I only managed to eat the 1st dish (cold dish) and then I was "chased" off to change into my EG! So, my tummy was rumbling throughout the whole event
lol.gif

Henny,

What song you use for march in?
Also, who you enage for video montage?
And which theme you use?

Can advise?
Thanks
 
Adeline

I chose the video montage as one of my wedding wishes offered by Marriott. They've engaged I-Do Imaging for the montage.

I chose the vineyard theme but to avoid the whole setup from being too "white" and plain, I used bright orange and yellow gerberas for the floral arrangements. My guests complimented on the setup that it was chirpy and sunny...which is suitable for such a happy occasion.

cheers
henny
 
Hello Henny
Thanks a lot for yr help! and you got mail!

Hi Winnie, I meant Panpac.. their Junior ballroom has low ceiling and it can be crampy .. plus the stage design is not as "Grand" as Marriott..
depending on yr priority, if "GLAMOUR" is what you want, go for Marriott, although it might be slightly expensive.. however, if you're given PP Grand Ballroom, then it wont be any problem cos their G.ballroom is v nice and grand too! this is my personal view...

Hello Ade, both set up has it own appeal and you can mix and match.. btw, are you giving up GHA package? what happen?
 
Thanks Henny!!! Can you email me your pics at [email protected]?

I also love the vineyard theme but fear that it is too dull.
If my EG is pink in colour, which colour do you think should I close for the flowers?
Btw, did you fork out additional cost for the flowers?
For the video montage, how early should I provide the pics in CDRom?
Did you end up paying alot for the red wines?
Also, did you use your own compiled songs throughout the dinner?
Did you bought additional carpack coupons for your guest as Marriott gives me so little coupons?
Lastly, how many gowns you changed for your AD dinner? 2 or 3?
haha ... sorie, too much queries.

Hi pinkdot,

Read my message in Divine thread with regards to GHA package.
 
My cousin did her wedding banquet at Marriot hotel. The foods are nice and their services are not bad.
The ballroom are big and without any pillar to block us looking at the brides and groom. I think depend on which ballroom. I did have a email regarding Marriot hotel package. If u need it i can email u.!
 
Hi Adeline

If you like pink colour, u can choose a combination of fuschia pink and baby pink or white flowers (roses or gerberas). It's all up to you. I didn't pay extra for the flowers unless u're requesting for more expensive flowers eg. sunflowers, tulips etc.

For the video montage, u'll have to provide about 30 photos and the CD containing a song (about 3 - mins duration)for your montage. It takes about 7-10 days for the montage to be completed.

I used up 15 bottles of red wine which cost about $500, i think. Not that expensive.

I brought my own CDs to play during the dinner. I didn't specially compile a CD for that purpose. Not many people would actually pay attention to the songs played during the dinner. They're too engrossed eating and drinking!

The carpark coupons provided by Marriott was adequate. I didn't have to buy additional coupons.

I only had 2 gowns - WG and EG. I would suggest that 2 gowns would be enough because you won't hv enough time for more than 2 gowns unless you don't intend to go around the tables for phototaking. The guests are bound to try to "sabo" the groom and bride as they move from table to table. These could take up quite a fair bit of your time. Dun forget u still need time to screen your video montage, champagne pouring etc.

cheers!
 
Hi Henny,

Congratulations to you! So glad to hear that you have a smooth and wonderful wedding at Marriott!
I believe your choice of bright orange and yellow gerberas have brighten up the whole event too! Hmm... I am considering to choose these combination, surely turns everyone's mood into a happy one especially my dinner is a weekday one!
Do let us see the setup if you have any to share okie
happy.gif
Cheers!
 
Hi Henny,

Thank you so much for sharing
happy.gif
it is now my turn to ask advices from you.
Do you remember there is a colour spot light shine on each table before the dinner start? Do you know if we can choose the colour of that spot light? (heee... I think I am too fussy on every details =P) The ambience looks excellence, just the kind of feeling I want. So happy seeing these photos!
bwt, do you have any contacts of photographer and videographer? Your photos look professional le. actually i am concern about the stage which has a very bright backdrop, does your toasting and cake cutting photos turn out too bright?
 
Hi lemoncake

U're welcome, I'll be glad to help.

Er...there was a spotlight but I don't think I was asked to choose the colours. Maybe you can checdk with your co-ordinator.

I engaged Alan Dai as my AD photographer.I can give you his contacts. What's your email address?

I'm quite happy with the photos. The photos for the toasting (on stage)and cake cutting etc turned out just right, not too bright. You can choose the colours for the backdrops.

cheers!
 
hi henny,

congrats on your wedding..... thanks for sharing the photos...

may i know how many tables you hv for your dinner?
 
Hi All
Just realized that Marriott has reduced their price !!! I booked a package with them this Oct 2004 on a friday and last year, the rate was $768 per table. Just realized on the website today that it's now $748 !!!!

Hi
By the way, anyone of u applied for the Marriott Rewards card? Maybe we can redeem some free hotel stays after our wedding bill is paid ? hee

Do any of u know what is the package for their Bangkok Marriott Spa and Resort - The Honeymoon Package like ?

Thanks !
 
Thanks Henny!!

My EG is pink in clour ... do you think I can change the colour as the ambience looks redish ....
 
Thanks Henny,
I have got Alan Dai's contact from another thread. So happy to know these photos are Alan's work!!! I just called and book him for my AD in November. Hope that I have made the right decision
happy.gif


Hi Adeline,

The backdrop colour can be pink, light orange, normal warm light, blue, purple and etc. The colour changes according to different stages of the dinner. Usually the colour is purple during cocktail, then pink during the 1st few dishes. After the 2nd march in is warm light, so that the ballroom is brighter for photo taking at each table.

But these are optional according to your preferences.

Hi Riushiki,
Thanks for reminding me to apply for the reward card. You are so smart! I think we should apply for it since we are spending so much for the banquet. Actually I am angry about the discount, feeling so cheated! my dinner is a weekday one, 638 is very different from 688 per table! add up it makes a difference of at least $1.5k!
 
Hi henny,

Can let me have Alan's charges too? My email address is [email protected].

Thanks!

Hi Riushiki,
How do you apply for the rewards cards? What are the benefits?

Hi Lemoncake,
Yup, me also upset that they lowered the prices, esp when I've booked them so early. Always tot that due to inflation, it is better to book such things earlier...guess that I'm wrong this time
sad.gif
 
Hi Henny,
How was your experience with Alan? Any advice for us? it is so strange that he doesn't want me to pay him the deposite, but to pay him together with the photos. Hope that he won't MIA.

Hi Enternity,
What's the wedding workshop about? I am not informed of any workshop le???

Hi BlurSotong,
Yea, this is upsetting. How can they treat the existing clients like this??? Now everyone thou that my banquet is so cheap, this may reflect less ang pow... sigh

sad.gif

happy.gif
 
Hi lemoncake

Sorry for the late reply.

I have went to look for them to book my 2005 wedding dinner. The coordinator advised me to make the confirmation, i.e.payment at the forthcoming wedding workshop which is tomorrow where i can enjoy some complimentary item.

I thought the wedding workshop was published in the Style Wedding mag? So they sent me a invitation letter which entitled me to attend the workshop.

Have you confirmed your banquet? If so, then i don think you are eligible liao..

Hi

I wonder if anybody shares my concern pertaining to the quality of food.

I got a weekday menu. It seem that the dishes in the menu look simple, e.g. the seabass and vegatables without black mushroom etc. Does the dish look "cheapo"? Henry, any opinion and experience to share?

Am worried that parent may not like it.. haiii..

Thks
 
Hi Henry, so happy for you and thanks for sharing the info.

I am planning for my customary wedding in June next year, but I have only about 100 guests. Anybody know what is the min number of tables required for Marriott? Or any other good suggestion for small scale wedding dinner?
 
hi blursotong,
U've got mail!

hi lemoncake,
Alan is quite a friendly and witty person. He makes my guests laugh alot. I was glad that I've engaged him as my AD photographer. He's quite professional as in he knows what and when to take photos, my hubby and I just left everything to him.
I didn't give him any deposit. He'll contact you a few weeks before your AD to confirm the time. Even after he took the photographs on my AD when we offered to pay him, he told us to wait until he has developed the photos.
When's your AD? If u're worried that he'll be MIA, then I suggest you give him a call at least 1 month before your AD. Don't think too much since you've already booked him. I'm sure your AD photos would turn out great! Good luck!

hi forest,
thks! my guests were generally quite happy with the food. Initially, I was worried that the food would turn out to be too salty, just like the food tasting. Fortunately, quite a number of my guests complimented on the food. The ambience was great and the service by the banquet staff was good.
Yah, I got my red wine frm Marriott. I think it's called something like Ten Tea Leaves. It was quite good.

Gd luck!

cheers
 
hi henny,
wah... tts good to hear!! made me less worried too!! kekeke... tks tks!! will take note of the wine name, n ask my coordinator... kekeke.. tks again!! enjoy ur married life k!

Hi all,
I'm new to this thread. Great to hear so many good comments about Marriot as I recently signed up with them.

Henny, congratulations to you. Glad to hear that all went wonderfully well for you. U are our 'testimony' to Marriot's service and quality. Could I also have your photographer Alan's contact? My wedding end of this yr so sourcing for an actual day photographer nw. By the way, where is Ten Tea Leaves wine from? Which country? Did you have white wine too? I'm really afraid to end up paying a hefty sum for wine after the wedding. What's the other wish you got from your wish list?

Hee..sorry, seems like I'm the most 'cheong hei' with most qns.
 
Hi Riushiki,

Think that the Marriott reward card cannot be used for wedding banquet. It is more for pax that normally stay in their hotels or dine.

Correct me if my info is wrong :p

Also wanna 2 find out more info

Hi Soap
Yes. You can use your wedding bills to credit into your Rewards Points. Already verified with Marriott US Office.
The conversion is 1usd = 3 points. So far can redeem a seven nite free stay in a one star hotel in US :P :P Or u can redeem 2 or 3 nite stay in a 4 star hotels.

Check out www.marriott.com
 


Hi Riushiki,

Have just applied the Rewards card
happy.gif
Realised that Marriott has a signature credit card that grants us 15,000 points! wonder if we can apply that VISA card?
and I am exploring how can we convert our banquet bill into rewards? Do you know what is the rate? those stated in the web is US currency... also, we have booked our banquet already, can we still earn the points?
