thanx in advance.
 
Hi Ade
Hope you've sorted out everything by now.. didnt heard from you then.. although i decided on the oriental theme.. but i have yet to confirm the colour of the roses.. so excited! date is getting nearer!
 
Hihi

My friend who has just attended a wedding at Marriott last month also commented that the ballroom do look a bit plain as the flowers used were too small and little.. guess we should unite and emphasize more to Marriott and June Florist..

My AD is in May 2005.

Cheers
 
HI Enternity
But honestly I feel that their ballroom would be very nice even without flowers, cos of their intelligent lights...

nevertheless, will definitely highlight this to them. Thanks for sharing!
 
hi Enternity, I have to agree with u, cos we had feedback fr those who have attended dinner there for the too little flowers used too.
Which theme did your friend choose?
Vineyard or oriental?

Hi pinkdot, how is your preparations?
 
Hi Pinkdot

U r welcome!

Gd day to all,
I'm Sashamama's FH. Needed some help here.
-If I'm interested in having a wedding dinner
here, who can I contact?

-What extra things I'm able to request for that are not in the standard package?
-What will be the cost now for weekdays and weekends dinner? Per table or any other cost

Thank you. Can kindly send to [email protected]? Thks Thks
 
Dear all,

I called Marriott today and they're fully booked on the dates we want.. Now we're looking more at Sheraton that's still available..

Anyway, ALL THE VERY BEST! hehe..

Hello, I would like to know does Marriot has weekend lunch? If there is, does anyone know how much it cost?

Thanks so much.
 
Hi all,
long time din come here leow..:P
I will be having my food tasting on 10 Oct. Have taken note of the nice food..

As the rest of the brides have mentioned, they really got a better deal. Cos for mine, I signed up during their wedding show last Oct. And the promo was $30 off per table, free flow of beer. Btw, mine was a Friday package. Wondering if we can change our perks or not.. would like to change the dessert to melting hearts.

Hi pink_dot,
hows ur wedding preparations? Didnt see u at the GHA thread.. think u must be very busy with ur dinner preparations, cos ur wedding is round the corner..
happy.gif
 
Hi Rocher
Yes, indeed very busi, but with WORK!! hahaha!

I just confirmed my evening gown.. no longer wearing the previous one as it doesnt fit me well after countless of alteration and decided to change another outfit. luckily I found another that I love !

Am currently sourcing for catering - for my tea ceremony.. any good caterer to recommend? hve you gals heard of Four Seasons caterer? (no link to Four seasons hotel hor..)

So what dishes hve you decided?
 
hi yingal,

yes, marriot hv lunch wedding banquet too... i will be having mine in Nov 2004....

the perks will be slightly different from the usual dinner package though.

but you can call and check with them, maybe they change some of the items.

Cheers
 
hi adeline,

the food is bad huh??? aiyo, actually 1 of my friends also commented that food at marriott is lousy leh... abit worry though.

my co-ordinator is markchan.

actually, my friends told me food tasting is usually nicer. but due to mass production on AD, food are not so nice loh.
 
mist/ adidas,

I duno how to put it across w/o critising Marriott in a nice and not offending way.

It's a mistake tat we did not do more research during our pre wedding preparations. mariott was my HB's first choice due to the central location.

we were misled tat we had a gd deal and hence signed up within a week. afterwhich we realised tat different coordinator will gv different perks and ...................

During food tasting, we gv our geniune view. sad to say, during AD, food tasted worst as complained by my relatives, frens and relatives. duno wat happened .... we were upset not onli becos of food, but becos of the perks and services provided.

the banquet manager is a veri veri nice lady. she is more flexible than the wedding coodinator.

we're resting tis matter but wld not recommend Mariott as the preferred hotel to any of our close frens.

enjoy your AD gals. dun worry as maybe we're just too unlucky.
 
I also signed up with Marriott for lunch in Sept 05. Saw mixed comments on the food here. I planned not to go for food tasting as is quite ex and most probably our comments may not be taken into consideration on AD. However will need some comments on their lunch menu so that we can decide how to swap between the 2 menus available. Anyone also signed up for Marriott lunch in 2005?
 
yippee,

you're rite ... our comments wld not be considered for AD. The yellow bean fish is nice and a must hv ......
happy.gif

but food tasting is FOC .... why wldn't u go for it?
 
Adeline,

My food tasting is not FOC. Maybe cause mine is a lunch package. The coordinator can only offer at special rate and min 6 persons. I only see either deep fried Groupa with mixed sweet corn or deep fried sea bass with sweet sour sauce in my menus.

Pinkdot,

Any photos of your vineyard theme?
 
yipee,

oic .... u must get the steamed sea bass with yellow beans ..... veri nice!! asked yr coordinator can chg anot.
NEVER NEVER chose the spare ribs.
pinkdot chose oriental theme lah and her AD not over yet.
my ad pics will be out soon ... waiting for calls now.
 
Gals,

Btw, my guest commented the red wine (~$37, south aust) which we bought fm hotel is gd
happy.gif


we bought our own wedding flavors.
 
Hi Adeline,

Which day did u hold your wedding ? Mine is going to be a weekday in Dec. I've chosen the 8-course dinner, and the food tasting which we had went through was ok. Now it really worries me. In fact, i've been told by several of my friends and relatives that the food which they've ate during wedding dinners at Marriott were not up to the standard, and the portions were small for a table of 10. But by then, i have already signed the contract and paid the deposit.

Adeline, after reading your comments, i think they have not improved at all. And i cannot imagine how can such dishes be cooked by a reputable restaurant in a 5-star hotel !

And especially to the couples who have booked the banquet a year ago like us, with little perks and offers, i strongly felt that the hotel shd compensate us with quality food and services!
 
From my experience, i think it's better to go for the food tasting.

My dinner was a few mths back.. I had the Jade menu for my food tasting and other than the yellow beans fish, the rest is of normal standard and a few dishes not satisfactory. In the end, I topped up and changed to the friday menu (still retaining the yellow beans fish).

I've got mixed comments after my wedding, some say food it's good/ok and a few say otherwise (heard more positive than negative) My family say the food was definitely much better compared to the food tasting. Personally i like the mango pudding.

So i guess you need to stress to your coordinator the impt of the quality of the food.

oh ya, just to add, the service of the lady banquet manager that night was very good.
 
just saw one of the past threads about the beancurd sheet with mushroom & veggie dish. I agree - the beancurd sheet spoilt that dish - I think will be much better with just the mushrooms & veggie..
 
oh dear,

what happened to marriott food???
The comments on the food from the older threads on marriott gave quite good comments leh, is it that the chef has been replaced or what?

And does anybody know if they are having new themes for 2005?
 
hi adeline,

okay, thanks.... think i will stress the impt of food to the hotel when i meet them.

hey adidas, do you think it will help by feeback to them that the general comments on the food is no good and we hope to see improvements?
happy.gif


hi ish,

glad to see you here...
so how's your self made wedding favours? your guests like them??
 
TTSS,

Mine was on a weekday.
I signed the contact back on feb04 and had the same perks as you upon pressing by my coodinator.
2 weeks later, they released more perks on a weekday dinner which is unfair to me. I've highlighted tis but nothing was done to compensate us.
we've onli one nite stay at Junior suite and ends up having me makeup at the main toilet cos the bedroom has no dressing table (onli a small mirror and no table for MUA to put her stuffs). There are 2 mirrors on the living room, one by the door and one behind a 'study' table whuch we din use cos they're relatives/frens chatting there.



Ish,

So u had the wedding flavours-chocolates fm them? I thou it was heart shaped choco but it turn out to be some cheapo plain choco. hahaha
perhaps i shld hv upgraded my menu .... i took the jade menu too. Maybe you've upgraded yours and hence more +ve feedbacks.
happy.gif

Did u chose the vineyard theme too??
happy.gif
 
Ish,

Same here, if not becos of the excellence service of the lady banquet manager that night ... I wld hv make a fuss at Marriott the next day.
She is better in terms of service and attitude as compared to my coordinator. She allowed me to chg some setup of the reception which my coordinator said no in the first place.

Thumbs up for her.
 
adeline
thanks!
i signed last oct during the wedding show, like u too, din look around .. & sign up, think our perks also not very good coz i compared with another colleague of mine who got married there a few mths ago
sad.gif

do agree dat steamed sea bass with yellow beans is very nice!! coz initially hubby's aunty want to change the fish but after food tasting, she said ok.

mist
yah i agree u shd, so that we gals here are in sync & able to get better standards!! will stress to my coordinator too when i meet him!
 
hi adeline,

yap, i will do so....

hi adidas,

when are you meeting markchan? we are meeting him this friday.... and i am going to tell him that there's negative feedback on marriott's food!! you think this is okay??? ;p then i will tell him, he better make sure the food is of acceptable standard, and convey my message to the chef... ;p
 
hi mist, yup. i'm back! mia for a while 'cos busy with work & household stuff after my honeymoon.. but finally settled down already.

oh.. my wedding favours.. my friends told me they loved the keychains (maybe they're just giving me face. haa!) I think they preferred the crystal one rather than the glass bead. I saw quite a few of my friends & colleagues using the keychains now
happy.gif
and my mum's friends thought the keychains are provided by the hotel!

hi adeline, i used the vineyard theme and i gave the choc as well - and i assume it's heart shape chocs. i only saw the cheapo looking choc after i'm back from my honeymoon! and there's nothing i could do about it. but positive thinking - one less thing for me to pester them to change. haa..
 
mist
did he call to meet u? coz i dunno when to meet him ..
when's yr food tasting? I think it shd be fine, but better remind him nearer to the date ya
 
hi ish,

hey, that's good.... hehehe, me lazy lah, didn do wedding favours for guests. anyway, my hubby dun like the idea, cos he say it's too time consuming... ;p

but i did wrist corsages for my jie mei...
happy.gif


hi adidas,

yah, markchan called us a few weeks ago to make appt to meet us this friday. yah, my hubby will confirm with him again, cos my hubby also commented that he's really blur. and you know what, my invitation cards hor got additional 1 card and i have 2 envelope short leh!!! aiyo, how to send like that.....
 
I am having my lunch reception at Marriott. Anyone got any ideas of the procedure for lunch. Tentatively I am thinking of doing the tea ceremony for my side at the hotel instead followed by the lunch. Btw, anyone got any ides should i remain in my WG during the tea ceremony or change to tea dress. Cos i am afraid that I might not have time to change before my guests arrive and I will feel so informal in my tea dress to greet them.
 
Hi gals,

I be having my food tasting next month. mine is a weekend package. Can anyone advise what are the better dishes for Sapphire 1&2.

Thank u
happy.gif
 
mist
hmmmm .. mark only called me to arrange for food tasting, will see how next wk coz will be 1 mth into our wedding
oh so funny but i thot that was arranged by Lil'art?
 
hi adidas,

hmmm, if i remembered correctly hor, i think markchan is going on reservist after next week leh.... is it he has discussed all the things with you during the food tasting???

aiyah, i also dun know how they count one.... sigh....
 
Hi, I understand that Style Weddings is holding their bridal event at Marriot Hotel this Sun (17 Oct 04). I'm interested to attend the bridal event but sadly registration has closed. If anyone has signed up for the event and is unable to attend it, could you let me know? I'm willing to purchase the tickets from you. Thanks = )
