Hi Mist,
my coordinator faxed back the confirmation list to me and I saw that my steamed soon hock has been changed to soon hock with yellow bean. Think they din charge me for tat.. But I'm not sure how the soon hock with yellow bean will taste like cos I had steamed soon hock during my food tasting. But think that older generation may prefer to have steamed fish instead. Btw, mine was the Soon hock not sea bass..
Hi Casey,
When did u book ur banquet? I booked it last yr and it was $768 (after $30 discount) for my friday dinner. My perks are almost the same as the rest of the marriott brides. Btw, when is ur AD?

Hi Dragon_gal
I did not sign up during wedding show cos i guess they only give discount for dinner banquets. My package is $528 but gotto top up for the full decor (like dinner) and wedding favors. Managed to neg for 20l complimentary beer but think it probably still not enough so may still have to top up for extra beer. The menu is quite standard since is a lunch i guess. When u planning your wedding?

hi yipee,
u mean there are no decor for banquet lunch? I tot banquet decor is fixed one and it should already be a fixed cost to the hotel, so why the additional charge?? I ve gotten the menu list already but ve not spoken to anyone yet.
As for wedding dates, it shld be early or mid 2005. haha... i know it is a bit late so that's why may ve to get banquet lunch instead of dinner

Hi dragon_gal
Ya mist is right there is decor include in the cost, quite a simple one. They keep it this way as normally ppl prefers something simple for lunch. I topped up $300 for the full decor as I thought cost of the lunch is quite reasonable so I don mind to top up for the decor. U should make an appt with the coordinator. I was served by Stephanie find her okie though i only spoke to her in person once the rest of the liason was over the phone.
Jasmine, I am not sure if you wan to arrange with Stephanie. I find her to be alright but not the very experienced type. But i guess if you already like Marriott then anyone should be fine. The reason why i chose Marriott is cos of the ballroom, ambience and for lunch package is quite reasonable.
Mist, so will u be going for food tasting? I am more worried about the food now. Also, not many ppl have lunch so not sure about their lunch menu and service.

hi yipee,
my wedding was last sat. phew!! glad that it is over... ;p
hey, their decor for lunch is quite nice leh..... simple and yet cosy. we like it very much. we don't like those too elaborate ones... ;p
hmmm, and i didn go for food tasting, cos i thought it's not really worth it to pay for food tasting and ultimately the standard of the food varies. Guess what, my guests complimented the food, they say the portion is rather generous and is nice..... but of cos, there are some who say it's not that fantastic lah.... generally i think it is acceptable lah.
anyway, i enjoyed myself during the wedding, i went down to receive my guests during the cocktail reception, and i didn regret my decision. Cos i received a lot of attention and compliments and really get to mingle with my guests!!
You enjoy too...

Hi Mist
Thanks for the updates and good to know that you enjoyed your day! Now you can really rest and enjoy marriage life! Now i feel more assured after hearing about your good lunch experience.
Btw, since you did lunch can i know where you had your tea ceremony? I planned to do my tea ceremony for my side's relatives at the hotel before the lunch reception but not too sure if is too tight cause i want to mingle with my guests before the lunch as well. Not too sure of how to go about planning the day's schedule.

Hi Rocher,
My is on weekend, My coordinator named Mark.
It wasn't a pleasant experience with Marriott.
So i decided not to hold my dinner there.
Sad to make such decision too. They are too arrogant. Porbably they just earn a big buck during the bridal show. So whether one deal less or more, it doesn't really matters to them now.

Hi ladies
I'm back! hopefully some will still remember "me"..
I held my wedding dinner at Marriott last month and it was enjoyable. But there were few hiccups too! so, bride-to-be, there's some "advice":
1. Request for early rehersal meeting. Usually it's 1hrs before the event, but personally I find it's too tight. So maybe ask for additional half-hr earlier.
2. Check on EVERYTHING during that meeting. I was hopping mad when I realised the table size wasnt correct (requested for 6-feet for all but got 5-feet for the guests' tables) and they had to redo the set-up again. Also, they got one of the dishes wrong (in the menu)! Imagine, that's was liked 6pm and they left an hr to complete the whole set up before 7pm.
3. Make sure that the flowers' arrangement are what you've requested. Although I've asked for pure roses, I got mixture of flowers too, which I only realised during the dinner. But again, the arrangement were not bad either.
4. Stress on service. The servers werent very attentive. Feedback from my frens were that they had to really call out for the servers to refill their drinks.
Overall, I had an enjoyable night. Christine was my event coordinator and she's a pleasant girl to work with, although I gave her a real hard time, but she never fails to greet me with a smile!
As for food, it's really depends on individuals.. some love the food, but some didnt find it good at all.. it's hard to pleased everyone.
But everyone simply love Marriott ballroom set-up!
Ok, that's all folks! Do enjoy YOUR NIGHT and most importantly, relax!

hi tin,
i forgot what i had for my menu.. let me check and get back to you..
after my wedding, i literally forget everything liao.. hahah.. ;p
yah, i think for lunch, you need to pay for food tasting... but if you got many tables, maybe they can give you free for food tasting loh. number of tables is your bargaining power.
hi yipee,
i had tea ceremony for my mum's side at hotel. it was okay. we stayed pretty close to central area, so the timing was quite okay.
hi casy,
usually for mark's style, i realise that he is not really ready to give away freebies during the 1st discussion. but after signing, he give away alot of freebies. i can give you some examples, projector need to be rented and that is stated in the contract. But closer to our wedding day, he told us, the projector can be used at no charge. so i am not too sure if that is what you are referring to as arrogant. Overall, Mark gave us alot of tips and advices in saving $$$

hi tin,
here's my menu:
1) Combination of deep-fried crispy shrimp, crab rolls, roast duck, black pepper conch & jelly fish.
2) stir-fried shrimp & cashew Nuts with celery
3) braished shark's Fin soup with shredded chicken & bamboo fungus
- i didn like the sharks' fin soup, cos abit too starchy.
4) sliced sea cucumber & abalone clam braised with mushroom in spicy sauce
5) Steamed sea bass with fried yellow beans
- received alot of good comments for this dish. but this is a signature dish, need to top up $$. (according to mark lah)
6) Crispy roast chicken
- heard this is also their signature dish, and alot of good comments in the forum previously.
7) braised ee-fu noodles with Mushrooms & chives
- surprisingly, alot of guests like this dish...
8) almond beancurd with longan
hmmm, 15 tables might be alittle too difficult to bargain. if you can, try for 20 tables. Mark can do more for you.
Hi yippe,
forgot to reply you on the bridal suite. it's okay, there's 2 toilet, only 1 has shower area. 1 living room and 1 bedroom... and 2 tvs!!! hahaha... no need to fight for tv with hubby... ;p hehehe..

Hi Mist
Thanks for your updates on the menu and the bridal suite. Also talking to my coordinator on the topup for the steamed sea bass with fried yellow beans, may consider to topup for this dish.
Anyone thinking of purchasing wines from Marriott? At first i thought they will only charge on number of bottles opened but i just understand from my coordinator this is only applicable for any unopened bottles exceeding 12 bottles. Not too sure if my guests will drink more than 12 bottles. Any good deals for wines elsewhere?

Hi Yipee
i read ur msg, and have a little input. I oso thot of buying wine from outside source. but it will cost quite a bit cos gotta consider the corkage charge which is $20+++ per bottle. the cheapest red wine fr marriott is 25.52(GST inclusive). so after sourcing around and checking wif other fren, its a better deal to buy from marriott. the chilean wine should be quite fine. the extra bottles not consume can be good gifts to your helpers.

hi yippee,
no problem, me also last time ask alot of qns in the forum....
oh, i got the wine from marriott. cos the corkages fee is only waived for wine purchase from marriott. if you purchase from outside, you need to pay corkages fee for every open bottle. so it is actually more expensive.
i think 12 bottles is quite okay, we used 15 bottles and we deliberately stop at that number liao... hahaha..

Hi Jolene and Mist
Thanks for sharing the tips with me. In this case, i think i should buy the wines from them. Giving the extra bottles (if any) to helpers is a really good gift idea
I agree we should control the number of excess bottles to be opened esp if is towards the end of the lunch.

hi shirlin,
i agree that it's still a new idea to hv wedding lunch. but i think it depends on what you want and if your elders agree to it loh.....
i don't think it's weird but it's still a novelty. i think so far my guests like it... cos they got time to digest the food after the lunch.
you can consider function room, if ballrooms dun accept 15 tables

Hi all,
I have read from the past threads that wedding luncheon is trendy..and alot of pros! And it so happens that my favourite hotel, marriott (for the nice ballroom and food...been there for D&D b4) is having a luncheon promo! Im so happy..but due to financial constraints, I might not be able to pay up the deposit on time, what do you gals think the maximum duration they would allow us to 'delay' the deposit? :|
