Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel

hi adidas,

aiyo, that markchan very blur leh... we told him meet this fri... he put in his diary we are meeting him next wed!!!! aiyo.... sotong man...
 


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 adidas,

meeting him next wed loh... somemore he says we must hv remembered wrongly.

hi niuniu,

thanks for the advice. i know he's very blur....
 
mist
huh? .. like dat ah .. bo bian

niuniu
ok, thanks for the advice!

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?
 
Eternity,

Can't remember the name ... I go home and check with HB ok. She is a veri nice and pretty lady. She offered me warm water when she noticed tat I'm abit nervous after March in and offer HB lime water when he was abit high.

Hihi Adeline

okie!!

Thks for your help. I am getting very nervous and scared after reading some negative feedbacks at times...i shall keep my fingers cross for my AD.

Cheers
 
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...
happy.gif

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.
happy.gif


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 ...
sad.gif


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? :P

Mu Banquet in charge was Christine too!
Very experienced & professional.
Not forgetting, veri pretty too!
 
rocher
think if they realised that most of us highlight to them, they will definitely take note of it

gals
glad to know that the banquet mgrs are good!
huh?? din know the chocolates are 2 thin slices, oh dear .. din budget for other favour leh .. headache now ..
 
hi all, had just signed up with marriott last sunday during the wedding show. Anyone just had held their wedding there? Any comments abt their bridal suite and themes?
 
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.
happy.gif


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...
 
Mist,

I olso had the name card but neber ordered fm there. I bought my wedding flavours fm outside, but limited qty onli
happy.gif

Since you opt not to take wedding flavours, did u exchange for other things?
 
mist
ok thanks. hmmm .. dunno what to give & also not too costly .. if that's the case, u still taking the chocolate thingy?? is that included in our package cost?
 
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
 
mist
ok, will see how
happy.gif


oh yah, have gotten the names of my emcee, they are my cousins!! so they wont really bother me liao .. haha
 
hi adidas,

so how did your meeting go??? so you taking the wedding favour from marriott? i am not taking liao.... ;p

hi adeline,

yah loh, but before that need to give coordinator and helpers some guidelines loh. else they will be confused also...
happy.gif
 
hi adidas,

then you also go searching lah...

hey, that i saw 3 rocher chocolate in a heart shaped box... very nice. and it's $1.50 only leh... maybe you wanna consider that.
happy.gif
 
mist
yap, will go search around

sounds good, but now i have abt 40tables which mean i need to cater for 400pax, wahhh.. i have pay $600 for the favour leh, got budget constraint leh
 
Can i join u guys in the discussion....cos i will having my wedding dinner at Marriott on Sept 05, so maybe we can exchange some ideas.
 
hi adidas,

oh, 40 tables huh, then it's really a headache.... $600 on wedding favour, seems abit not worth it leh...

me abt 20 tables..... but i think dun want to give wedding favours liao, spend it on printing photos for guests instead..... hehehehe... ;p

hi sunlynn,

sure..... but both adidas and my wedding is next mth.... :p
 
sunlynn
welcome

mist
yah, so many .. dat's y i felt not worth the cost. huh, yrs wkend right? thought the minimum table is 35tables?
 
hi adidas.

mine is lunch banquet... hahahahaha.... cos the dinner banquet for my date are booked liao at most of the places that i want.... hehehe...

i am also happier when it's lunch, i can go and rest early... hehehe... ;p
 
Hi Adeline,
me just wentn for my finalization meeting with my coord. I have changed the pork ribs to the roast chicken, the lettuce to spinach. But when i asked abt the sea bass in yellow bean , my corrd says might have to top-up $$. So dun noe if wan or not leh.
Ya, the flowers very limited, can onli choose gerbras or rose. Me choosing pink rose, dun noe nice or not.. Tot of using cream rose too. Btw, wat colour of the rose did u used? Btw, which theme did u choose?

Hi Mist,
think we got the same coord.. but he asked me to use the chocolates leh, cos no need to spend $$.. Btw, if u din take the chocolates, wat did they exchanged for u? Btw, which theme did u choose?

Hi CT,
the chocolates are in the cream marriott box right? I tot that looks nice, how come ugly? Or u have a different one? Btw, which theme did u choose?

Hi adidas,
me oso have 40 over tables...so me oso not considering buying the wedding favors. Just use the marriott chocolates..
happy.gif
Btw, which theme did u choose?

Hi all,
just to check if u have 2 emcee (male & female)? And r they ur friends/relatives? Cos me tot of engaging someone professsional to do it..
 
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.
happy.gif

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.
 
FYI, the bill can be settled the next morning, so no worries for those who will be drunk. haha..
Both hubby & myself were drunk!
 
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 .....
happy.gif



Hi adidas/ mist,

My main male coordinator alreadi married so veri experienced. No worries for me at all
happy.gif
 
hi rocher,

yah loh, same same leh... when i ask the fish with yellow bean, he also told me need to top up leh, so now we are thinking whether we want to take a not...

i think for lunch banquet, it's a different theme... not the vineyard or oriental.

I got only 1 emcee and he's my friend. so shd be okay... last time his wedding i was his emcee,hahaha... so he's returning the favour loh.
happy.gif
 
Hi CT,
hmm, think better double confirm with them on the packaging of the chocolates.. Ya, think the vineyard theme goes well with the cream flower. Me haven finalise which colour to choose - pink or cream rose.
hehe, me oso tot of making myself drunk too... cos dun noe wat kind of feeling is tat.. but heard that hang-over is terrible.

Hi Adeline,
seems that both CT & you got the same kind of packing for the choz.. Do u have a pix for ur ballroom? wld like to see how it looks like with 2 flowers.. thanks..
happy.gif


Hi Mist,
my coord told us that he will revert to us abt the topping up but still have hear from him.. wah.. u must be veri good
happy.gif
, cos u no stage fright. The tot of goin up the stage makes me uncomfortable... cos me scare of crowd..
 
hi rocher, lucky for me no hangover lah..
Just felt the whole room spinning towards the end of the banquet.
Hubby had a bad headache the next morning.

Pict of ballroom? will get u one if can find.
 
Hi gal,

any further highlight on marriott b4 i sign with them? i very scare i got the wrong hotel. i only heard od top up for fish like Soon Hock, but no sea bass which is cheaper then soon hock. i also din noe that the favor had only one choice(Chocolate). May i ask for those who sign during the show, what are the perks given? so i can bargain further b4 i sign.
 
mist
lunch ya? wow, so nice ..good! Can relax after that .. hehe

rocher
i chose the vineyard theme

adeline
mine also married, think ours is the same coordinator
happy.gif


sunlynn
Thanks! busy preparing for the big day, will start to call for RSVP early next already ...
 
Hi CT,
good tat u dun have hangover.. hope that me oso.hehe

Hi Casy,
so u just signed up during the wedding show on 17 oct? who is ur coord? And how much is ur package and wat r u perks? Cos most of us signed up during last year wedding show and the perks and prices may differ.

Hi adidas,
me too oso choose the vineyard theme.. but oso find that the oriental charm is oso quite nice too..

Hi Adeline,
maybe u can put the pix directly onto this thread by using the [Upload Attachment] button.
 


Hi mist

Why did u request you to top up for the sea bass with yellow bean?? I thought it is part of the menu?? This dish is in the menu enclosed in the contract that i have signed with them... doesn't that count? hummmmm... ???
