hey ladies,
Beware of Mark. Tho he's a nice guy, he's very blur. Don't honour promises coz he always forgets things. Suggest that once anything that is agreed, no matter how small the issue is, must put in black & white & make him sign or reply via email. Just a reminder...

Hi gals,
I went for the Style Weddings show on Sunday and I signed up that day. Paid my deposit but have yet to sign the contract. Any recommendations as to which coordinator we should deal with?
Are there any other perks and bargains that I can get from Marriott?
I'd love to see any pics of the AD. Anyone who can share? You can email me at [email protected]
Thanks!!!

hi all, my AD is also over.
Adeline, sad to hear about your not so pleasant experience.
Mine was ok.
Setup was nice, banquet in charge veri responsible.
Feedback from some friends food was good.
Parents said food was better than our food tasting.
I admit tat the junior suite is quite small when all friends & family started to come in.
I did my makeup behind the writing table, (the tabletop with kettle & chocolates)
there was enough space for 2 at a time (my sis & mum did make up as well).
Overall, we were happy with the service.
Have not seem my AD photos taken by professional photographer, so cant comment much on how the fotos turn out.

CT,
Glad things turned out well for you. As I said, I'm just plain unlucky. Which menu u took?
The banquet in charge is a veri nice lady. Thumbs up for her.
I had my makeup in the master toilet cos the writing table was occupied by HB's relatives. So many of them came hence veri cramped and noisy.
I've not collected my AD pics too .. shld be tis Thurs. I seen a few March in pics though and are pleased with the outlook.
I agreed the setup is nice. Which theme u used?

Hi all marriott brides,
just went for my food tasting last Sunday. Find that the food is of passable standard only. Here’s some of my feedback.
(1) Shark's fin, me find it abit 'xin(1) wei (4) 'fishy' smell. Dun noe if it was the shark’s fin or the fish maw.
(2) Pork ribs in orange sauce, din find it nice. Looks like a normal dish and taste like normal ‘’bak kut wang’. Will change to crispy roast chicken.
(3) Braised fish maw & mushroom with vegetables, think it was the most unpleasant one. They have given us lettuce as the vegetable! Taste abit salty too. I even commented that lettuce is such a cheap veg, which u can get from supermarket for less than S$1 and yet it was used in this dish.
(4)Steamed soon hock in soya sauce - the fish big & fresh. Nice!
(5) Ee-fu noodles – taste nice but ingredients too little
Heard that sea bass in yellow bean is nice.. not sure if wan to change or not leh.
Hope that it helps for those who are preparing for the food tasting.
Any ideas if we can change any favors w/o topping up $$? Cos dun like the chocolate.
Hi pink_dot,
hehe.. dun forgot to take more rest and have enuff sleep to prepare for ur wedding...
So ur EG MTM one? Glad that u managed to find something nice OTR. Actually some of their OTR design is very nice one.
So how many days to count down for ur AD?
Me will be choosing the vineyard theme. So wat type of flower will u be choosing? Will u be highlighting the sparsely of the flowers?
Hi Adeline,
sad to hear abt ur encounter. Same as u, i signed up with Marriott during the wedding show and din actually go much hotel-hunting before that. Actually, I think its true that different coordinator gives diff perks. They are empowered to give perks, as long as it is reasonable. But dun noe why some are very 'niao' even if they can give more perks but still dun wan to give to ppl.
Btw, u had weekend/weekday package? And it is lunch/dinner. Cos I feel they r more 'niao' to those having lunch & weekday package.
Envy that u r still very optimistic abt it, dun noe what I will do if I were in ur shoes. But glad for u tat u managed to change the set up at the reception.
Hi adidas,
YES!! We all shld unite and highlight to our coordinator. I will be meeting my coordinator soon and will oso stress him! Maybe can print out the msg and show them how unhappy some of the brides are.

Enternity,
Her name is Jasmine, according to my HB.
RoChEr,
Yup, must change the Pork ribs in orange sauce!! I regretted not chging it after food tasting which the elderly hv some negative comments ... AD was worst.
Me olso hated the mushroom with vegetables ...
Sea bass in yellow bean is a must!!!! Why din u take tis up??
No, can't change the wedding flavour ... I bought my wedding flavours fm outside.
Flowers onli can chose roses ... limited colours like cream or red. If you wan something different, must TOP UP.
My coordinator was a lady ... glad you din take her. She is more niao!!
I had a weekday dinner banquent then ... not much perks given.
In fact I was so upset till I showed a black face to my coodinator during confirmation of my setup. She was unhapi with me too.
I don't bear grudges against Marriott as luckily, the banquet lady was a kind soul. She allowed me to chg my reception setup when my coordinator said cannot do changes.
SHe even allowed me to settled my bill 2 hrs after my dinner.
However, I wld never never recommend Marriott to any of my close frens.
No point talking to them abt the msgs cos they knew abt it. Maybe they're reading it themselves.

hi CT and adeline,
thanks for the feedback. today i am meeting up my coordinator... hopefully everything will be okay loh.. hearing the negative feedbacks makes me more wary of them.
as for the food, hopefully they can take the comments and improve for the better. i think sometimes it is difficult to control but for the price that we are paying, seriously it shd be better.
btw, the chocolate favours not nice huh?? aiyo, me still thinking of using that leh...

Mist,
u go take a look of the chocolates than decide.
Maybe you can accept it .... for me, I din request to take a look of the chocolates ... thinking are those heart shaped ones other hotel gv as wedding flavours.
After my AD then realised it's 2 flat pcs of plain chocolates.
My colleagues said why 5 star hotel gv such chaepo chocolates??

Agree the chocolate was ugly!
Saw it only after my first march in, too late for any changes to be done. Lucky this is just a small imperfection.
Come on Adeline, think of it this way. No real wedding is perfect. U will probably remember better with the little hicupps. so dun upset okie?
Mu Banquet in charge was Christine too!
Very experienced & professional.
Not forgetting, veri pretty too!

hi adidas,
yesterday i met up with marriott liao... actually my coordinator asked me not to take the wedding favours provided. better to bring our own wedding favours... he gave us the contacts. but he did mention actually the money spent on wedding favours can be better spent on printing photos for friends who have attended the wedding. the photos serve as a better memory than wedding favours. ;p hehehehe... i might consider doing that.
hi adeline and CT,
well, i think i will not take wedding favours from marriott liao loh...
but i did feedback on the standard of the food...

hi adeline,
we hvn't confirm anything... but i think we can exchange for some other things, eg. maybe vouncher for room service....
hi adidas,
hmm, i think there are those bells or chopsticks that sells for abt $1. can consider that loh.
anyway, today the session with the coordinator will be abt an hour plus lah.... he talks from menu to table cloth, seat covers etc..... hv you got the name of your emcee? he will need that. and i think he will ask you to appoint one of your friend to be the main coordinator for the AD, so that they will bother the bride and the groom on the AD... ;p

Hi Rocher, I thot so for the chocolates too.
But all I saw tat nite is two pieces of flat thin chocolates wrapped in gold paper.
Unless I overlooked, but tat was all I saw.
Will check with my friends again..
Vineyard with cream/yellow flowers.
The overall feel is very romantic, got alot compliments.
Of course, u r free to engage professional emcee, its all up to u.
Try to negotiate for the fish again. Think can be done.

Hi Rocher,
Good for you. I forgotten to change to spinach ... regretted. Hey, the fish gotto top up one meh? Your memu comes with which fish? I chose Vineyard with cream/red roses. I wanted blue roses but need to top up. I don't know whether the 2 cheapo chocolates are in the cream marriott box .... cos I onli realised tat it's not those heart shaped chocolates (like those in the Marriott tower in the suite) after AD. We onli hv one lady emcee whom is my HB's cousin.
We settled the bill past midnight .....
Hi adidas/ mist,
My main male coordinator alreadi married so veri experienced. No worries for me at all
