Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel

Hihi

I m back!
happy.gif


My friend who has just attended a wed dinner last sat told me that she is satisfied with the food quality. In fact, she thinks that both the food and service is much better than Merchant Court (another wed din that she attended in the same week). I guess at least all of us, the Marriott brides feel more assured right!

Meanwhile, let's wait for NiuNiu to come back with her mum's feedback.

Cheers
 


Hi hi...it's really good to hear that the food and service of marriott is good...and even better than merchant court. BTW, any of u know if marriott service is 1-1 or the normal serve on table help yourself kind?
 
Hi all,
thanks for your advice.

Bugbear, i dun tink marriott service is 1-1, though u might be able to negotiate for it..dun know if there will be additional cost..
happy.gif
 
hahah..i think 1-1 will be additional costs...sometimes i prefer those leave on the table and help yourself...not so restricted...guests can choose the amount or whatever they like to eat
happy.gif
 
Hi,
long time no visit the forum liao. yea, I agree that serve and help yourself is better. In fact, this can prevent mistakes from happening since the waiters are part-timers.
Is anyone holding their wedding this year? Mine is November. any idea when can I collect the invitation cards prior to the AD? Have been informing my friends about my AD, but then I realised many are travelling or biz trip, so difficult to catch people and confirm the attendance!
sad.gif
any tips?
 
Hi gals!!

So sorry for the late reply....i was too busy with the wedding prep and also went to HM straight away after the dinner, juz came back recently...

The one time waiver, i managed to negiotate $200 nett for 30 bottles of wine...but of course u can bring in more lah...this is juz a rough estimation lor...i brought in 30 bottles plus 6 bottles given by marriott(one of the wishes). In total, we consumed 32 bottles...

if u order wine from marriott, the min order is 12 bottles, that means u have to pay for 12 bottles even thought u only consumed 6 for e.g. but they will give u back the remaining balance...but after 12 bottles, the rest will be charge on consumption basis, that means if u consumed 13 bottles, they will charge u the price of 13 bottles lor...hope that clarifies...
 
girlz,

wat brand of wine you ordred from Mariott?

isabellam

my perks same as yours.

Gals,

May I know which theme is better?
Wat difference?
 
Adeline, maybe better for u to arrange with ur coordinators to view both themes, then u decide? so far from photos, vineyard seems to be more dreamy kind...but the oriental also quite nice..cos vineyard has iron gates...which looks more rigid...
 
Adeline, u want the photos? i have them...but still, i think best for u to arrange to view the actual settings. I din like the ballroom when i saw the pictures...but i went down to peek at the settings for oriental and find it ok...
email me [email protected] if u are interested in the photos

Hi Girlz
Do you have any contact for wine that are of good quality but not too expensive? How much did you get for your wine? thanks

Hi Lemoncake, no time no hear!!
you can collect the cards from the hotel 3mths before your actual day.. my wedding is on Oct and shld be collecting these cards when making my 2nd downpayment in mid July..
 
Hi Ruishiki...sent the photos to you too.

Still, i think it's best to arrange for actual viewing...u can just drop the coordinator an email to check when they have weddings on and u can just go and view, don need them around if u don wan to
happy.gif
 
Hi hi...any one got the latest packages from Marriott? i understand that the early bird promo is over right? So what's the new price like?
 
Thanks pink_dot. Do I have to make the 2nd downpayment then they can issue us the cards and also to proceed with making the montage, discuss about the set up with June florist?
 
hi ladies,

Just wanna know how much deposit u girls have to pay? I find $6k very high.
uhoh.gif
Most of my friends is $3k. My colleague at GCW only pay $1k! The balance upon checking out of hotel.
 
Hi adeline,

I din get the wine from Marriott, i brought in my own wine...i think the cheapest red wine from them is something like "green..." makes me think of greentea!! :p

pinkdot, sorry...i dun have any contacts, i got my wine from cold storage when it's having promotion...my hubby likes a certain brand of wine, and juz nice cold storage is having promo for that brand..
 
Hi girlz...how much did you have to pay for wine corkage then?

Niu niu...marriott deposit is $6k ar? i din know about that...tot it's the usual $3k
sad.gif
 
Yah lor. They asked for $4k 1st deposit then another $2k for 2nd deposit. So much!
sad.gif
What abt u? The other marriott brides leh?
 
Hi there!

I think the deposit is the same for everyone.. I also paid up the 4k 1st deposit.. In oct another 2k...

If I'm not mistaken the cheapest red wine is called green apples? or something along that line :D
 
wah...marriott really ask for so much as deposit ar
sad.gif
no way to negotiate on that? i think so far marriott is the highest in terms of deposit request huh.
 
girlz
thanks for the info & hope u had a wonderful wedding!

hi bugbear
could u send me the photos too?
[email protected] ... thanks!

lemoncake
mine wedding is also this nov, which date is yrs? i met up with my coordinator recently, he will call me 3 months b4 our wedding to discuss on our requirements

din noe marriott is standard with their deposits, as i din negotiate with them, was even telling hubby shd have negotiated then ... hee
 
Hi Bug bear!

Thks for the photos!
happy.gif


I think the serving is 2 to 3 tables for Marriott. Yup, i have also paid the first $4,000 deposit already another $2,000 to be paid at a later date, nearer the wed dinner.

Anyone tried asking their coordinator if they can mix and match the two theme? Any additional charges?
 
Hi Enternity, no worries. I heard from someone in this thread...some earlier posts that she actually did a mixed...used the vineyard for stage and the normal floral stands for the aisle. If you are really intersted, can talk to ur coordinators...
 
Hi BugBear,

I am considering Marriott hotel, could you also send me the pictures of the ball room. [email protected]

Any idea what are the rates they are charging for weekday and min no. of table?

Thanks !!

[email protected]

Hi Lala...i have just sent u the photos. As for the pricing, i am waiting for the coordinator to get back from her leave...the current one is actually the early bird promo, which is the 2004 package...maybe u would like to take a look. u also looking at weekday? I also looking at weekday

Hi Adeline, not too sure how many floral stands they have...but from the photos (i also sent to you already), it looks like they have 6 (3 pairs). u looking at weekend or weekdays?

Seems to me that a lot of ppl opt for Marriot weekdays. good good
happy.gif
 
For those who have seen the photos or actual ballroo settings...which theme do you prefer?

Any idea if they are going to change the themes soon?
 
Hi hugbear,

Thanks, just rec'd your mail.
I've book Marriott for my AD (Mon) after 04 CNY. So the package is the same as last year's. This year's perks are better ... sob.

I still can't decide which theme leh .....
 
Adeline, have u seen both themes already? the actual ballroom settings? the more i look at the photos, the more i like vinieyard...cos it gives a dreamy feeling...but have some reserves about the gates leh...

anyway, i also like oriental theme, but i don like burgundy...only if the curtains, the flora stands and all are in champagne roses..then i sure opt for that ;)
 
Hi Ladies
yes, we can mix and match the differnt theme..
as for floral arrangement, we are also allowed to change but not to those off season flowers which will be more expensive, unless you want to top up..

Hi Bugbear, the minimum depends on the month.. I think Oct is 25 but more for rest of the year..

Hi Adeline, dun think we can choose the "spotlight" for the tables but the stage backdrop light colour should be okay. (understand that the spotlight for the table goes accordingly to the backdrop colour..)
 
Hhmm...there is a different min no. each month? but think it should be ok for me...cos i am looking at around 40 tables...

pink-dot, i din know that the stage light can change
happy.gif


Do u ladies find the stage a little small? or maybe it's becos of the stage deco?

Angeline, i will send u the photos on Mon, k.
happy.gif
 
Hi bugbear,

I've seen both photos when I signed up for the package. i also like vinieyard theme but worried the ballroom might be a little 'raw' with the gates. no flowers if we chose this theme right?

Hi pinkdot,

I love flowers and gates/candles. how can I combine both leh? are we allowed to chose only one stage backdrop colour?
wat colour u recommend if my EG is Fuchia pink?
also, can we chose poenies as flowers?
 
Hi Adeline,

The spot light for each table can be chosen. Actually it is usually set to a certain colour rotation. EG 30sec pink, 30 sec blue, 30sec green.. Something like that :D But I told my co-ordinator that it might make some of my guests dizzy cos like disco lights! ahahah So he said we can have a single colour if we like.
happy.gif
hope that helps!
happy.gif
 
hi Adeline,

Can u pls tell me what is the difference betwwen this year and last year perks?PM if its not convenient.Thanks
 
Hi Adeline,

I hopped by Marriott this afternoon and so happen, they have the vineyard theme. Actually, on the gates itself, there are actually flowers on it. The top are small fake vines...but for the bottom of the stands...there is a mixture of fake leaves and real red roses. and on the gates itself, i believe i saw tea lights hanging...so, i think vinyard matches ur taste leh...combination of gates, candles and flowers
happy.gif


Me not too sure if the stage backdrop colour can be changed tho. Did not meet up with the coordinator as she is bz today...

Anyway, me tried to take some pictures with my hp, but all turned out so blur
sad.gif
so sad..can't show u gals...the next time i go there when i meet up with the coordinator, will definitely bring a proper camera and take some pictures...then will come back here to share :D

Anyone signed up with marriott already? Can share with me how they waive corkage of wine? and any other perks that you got out of the standard?
 
hi to those ladies waiting for my mum's feedback on the food.
proud.gif


Her comments generally not bad. Dishes that are worth giving thumbs up are (1) sharks' fins soup - got small slices of fins & not too starchy, (2) crispy chicken - skin crispy & meat not too hard/dry, (3) ribs in orange sauce - tasty & special. Taste of other dishes is quite ok lor, at least it's tasty & warm. But 1 point to note. My mum's table only got 9 pxas & they finish everything. Looks like the serving size not very big. Must feedback to the wedding planner.

With that, I should be signing the contract with Marriott. So anymore tips or further negotiation which I can try before I sign?
 
bugbear, no lah. My parents happen to attend a wedding banquet few days ago hence manage to gather some comments.
 
hi bugbear
thanks for the photos!
happy.gif
looks very nice but i went to a oriental theme just a few days ago, thot it look very plain though, maybe expectations very high coz when i went to my fren's wedding 2 or 3 yrs ago, the setting is very grand & nice lor ..
how do u find the vineyard coz personally i like dat?

the min for wkday is 25 & 35 for wkend, this is only for this yr, heard from my coordinator that next yr, they r raising the min wkday to 30

marriott does not waive corkage for the wine we bring in, their corkage charges is $20+++ per bottle, very ex! however, maybe able to negotiate .. but if we order their in-hse wine, there is no corkage charge
 
Hi Adeline, think the best person to speak to is Angela of Marriott on the lighting..
I remembered she told me that the stage background colour can be choosen, but not the colour of the spotlight for the table, cos the colour for the spotlight depends on the background colour.. for example, you've choosen yellow for the background and the light for the table will be blue etc.. (although I'm not sure what's the combination..)

My sis wore a fuchia pink gown too and the background was purple/pinkish.. very nice, you may want to consider.. not to worry cos you can still decide during the "reheasal"

I think you shld meet up with Angela to discuss on the set up again.. maybe you want to place the gates on the stage? and normal flower stand along the aisle? as for flowers, am not sure, think you'll have to check with June Florist..
 


Hi Adidas,

I have seem both themes of the actual setup...i agree with u that the oriental is alittle bare, i also quite like vineyard...but maybe the gates can push in towards the tables a little more...so that the aisles look wider
happy.gif
(just my thoughts)

Any idea if Marriott is going to change their themes or something?
