hi rin and ayane,
mine is a friday, which is considered a weekday in RTP's package.
when did you get this quote from grand hyatt? cos when i asked them a few mths ago, they said they had just raised their prices and the cheapest package was above 900 and with +++ on top of that!! so the nett price would have been over 1000!!

hi grapefruit

i have spoken once with angela. she sounds friendly over the phone once. thereafter, i didnt hear from her anymore.

hi greekgal - my coordinator at RTP is joyce. she's really professional and accomodating. as long as it's within her ability, she will accede to your request without much fuss.
hi again rin - really?? but does hyatt consider friday a weekday or weekend? maybe they consider friday a weekend, that's why i got the higher quotes. anyway, i've already confirmed my booking with RTP, so there's nothing i can do also. but i'm very happy with RTP.

hi rin
did u jus call me "bluegrape"?? hmmmm.. hahaha
yup, we didn't take hyatt cos it was too pricey. the weekday package is definitely more reasonable, but we didn't want a weekday.
your package is very reasonable too!!

hi rin,
i think if u signed the contract already, then u're safe. u'll be bound only by the price stated in the contract. unless the contract stated the PH price? did u read the contract carefully before u signed?

Hi Grapefruit
I have just got my Legal Counsel to vet my contract. She said that there is no clause in the contract to state that they can change the price after I signed the contract.
I did not know it was a PH until recently. If I knew, I would not have booked that day cos of the price difference. If they want to increase my price, I will cancel my wedding and get them to compensate me.

hi rin,
but before you signed the contract, Stephine should have discussed with you the different packages they have (for weekdays, fridays, weekends and PHs) and the corresponding prices right? then she would have pointed out that your date falls on a PH, therefore you need to pay the PH price?
they definitely cannot change the price after you have signed the contract. but i think your problem now is whether you signed the contract fully "informed" of the terms or not. so how much was it stated in your contract?

Hi Grapefruit,
No, we didn't discussed anything abt the PH price..anyway the quotation also didn't state the PH price at all.
We are all not aware that it is PH when we signed the contract, I mean they should have check too, this is their neglience.
I did ask them again after I signed my contract whether there will be any changes of price after that. They said no..there will be no increase of price.
$738 nett or $768 nett was stated in my contract.

Hi Rin,
I was lucky to meet one of their staff during the Style wedding show so that is why I got the better offer. We actually wanted to sign up with another Hotel before Stephnie called us to offer the FOC beer. She was really a darling in firming our decision to take up with Marriot although it is $100 nett per table more costly than our initial choice. So now no choice, got to ask FH to save more $$$. Hee hee.....
However, I am quite worried about Stephnie's services after signing the contract after hearing so much about her fm you all.
As for invites, I like both so i m going to ask for both...red for relatives and white for friends and colleagues.
Rin,
About the PH rates, I think Marriot cannot do anything if u have signed the contract. Becos I have the same problem....Stephnie committed the lowest price to us before they have a price increase and she has to abide to it. That is why we did not get any other freebies from her initately when we negotiate. The FOC beer is from her cos we wanted to sign up with another hotel.

yep, your price will be what you signed in the contract. no matter whose negligence it is, it cannot be changed. good for u then!!
i really hope all of us will have a great wedding, no matter which hotel we book!!

hi rin,
so yrs is on a PH too! so is mine
for me, i actually knew that mine was a PH so i specifically told yiwen. she told if i can hit 35 tables, she can give me the fri price (my PH falls on a fri, and marriott has a separate charge for fri if I am not wrong, dun hv the quote with me now).
i also agree with the gals that they cannot change the price now that the contract has been signed. however, you may wanna be careful about other extras/perks (which are not stated in the contract) which they may try to withhold now that they realised the 'negligence'.
hv you mentioned to stephine that it is a PH yet?
i like the white invite... very pretty! with the little ribbon thingy

well, i m considering marriott as well... i met up wif stephine.... not really very please wif her service as well.... ya, marriott is abit "proud" in a certain way.... keep mentioning abt their coorporate guests lah, blah blah.....
beleive it or not, i had tentative book the wedding date for abt a mth liao, nobody from marriott actually called us to follow up.... we were the ones who call them...... perhaps becos i m taking up their lunch package n so they are not very interested or wat....
anyway, will ignore all these factors n go sign up wif them this sat......

Hi whitediamond
So your AD is one day after Christmas. Mine is in Jan.
Oh really, I didn't know they charged for favours. But how abt magnet or bell, do they charge you extra for that too?
I have not have a chance to take a look a the favours yet. Is the tea leaves nice?
Initially I wanted to sign up with Hyatt too but given up also becos of their arrogant services. I find Stephine quite nice though.

hi rin,
haven confirmed with marriott but it is probably my first choice.. am jus exploring the possibility of doing my own invites and favours etc and thinking what else they can throw in in exchange.
GCW is my second choice cos i like their long aisle... so still considering...
hi whitediamond, my coord called me to follow up cos apparently someone else wants my date as well.. maybe they only do so if that happens? so far, yiwen has been very friendly.. no complaints about her altho she is the most junior of the team

Hi ayane
GCW is not bad, but the price quite pricey right and they require minimum 35 tables for the Grand Ballroom.
Take yr time to choose, so you will have no regrets. Another place to recommend u is Hotel Intercontinental also have long aisle and nice pillarless ballroom.

hi rin,
will be having at least 35 tables so no prob there.
Intercon is nice too, but somehow just prefer marriott's ballroom, dunno why ;p i think intercon looks very grand, slightly victorian which is really nice.. whereas marriott is cosier, and my FH seems strangely fascinated by the alabaster marble, haha! just hate the single pillar at the leftside of the ballroom... rather annoying ;(

Ayane,
GCW is quite risky in a way if you are thinking of breakeven the dinner cos my friends who held her wedding there..got most of her guests giving her only $60 angbao.
I also find Marriott ballroom very cosy, especially like the intelligent lights. I didn't realise there is a pillar at the ballrm...I have only 30 tables so it should not be a concern for me.

Hi Rin,
As mine was a lunch banquet, so favours are charged at $1/pc.... during the discussion wif stef, she very quickly agreed to throw in the favour FOC.... but when we received the proposal, the wedding favour is the tea leaves.... so a bit disappointed..... umm i saw both the bell n magnet.... bell i think is those ceramic type n magnet is those wedding couple type.... IMO, i think either one is better than tea leaves....
hi ayane,
my coord is Stef..... i met up wif her before the style wedding bash.... saw her at the wedding bash as well.... but after tt for abt 2 weeks, nothing from her.... so we email her n ask her if the day is still under tentative booking n we would like to meet up wif her to sign up... her reply was always tt she is busy n yet to recover from the style wedding bash etc.... afterwhich we did not hear from her again till last 2 weeks bah..... think will be meeting her this sat to sign bah.... last sat we got something urgent last min n could not meet her....

hi ladies,
any more new marriott bookies??
just made an appt to meet my coordinator this weekend, will probably sign the contract then.. just too lazy to look around anymore haha! anything to take note of before signing?
just wondering, my coord told me that there will not be flowers on each of the tables cos they will be putting the food there.. is this the norm? thot i saw other weddings where the tables had some deco on the tables (at least a bowl of petals if not a tall standing thingy of flowers, er, hope u know what i am talking about ;p). just thot it may look rather plain without anything on the tables...
hi rin,
hope everything is fine with the PH booking

hi rin,
that's great!
haha, i still haven had the time to go and see the deco, but probably like the vine-yard better from the pictures
do we hv to confirm the theme when we sign the contract?
hmm.. was quite sure she told me table no flowers, except VIP tables. mentioned to her that it would be really plain and she said that even if we put flowers there, it will be taken away once dinner commences cos they need to place the food on the lazy-susan, so no point spending the money. do u think the wedding u saw paid extra for that?

rin,
i shd clarify with her again then... christine is the banquet manager? not angela?
what i got so far was free use of projector. she also offered discounted room rates for my overseas guests. i asked her for extra night for bridal, but she said this was subject to availability
really wish she could waive my wine corkage but they seem quite firm on that.
what did you hv to firm up when u signed yr contract?

ayane,
Angela is the wedding sales mgr different from Christine.
Wine corkage can't be waived for me as well but they offered to charge me at only $20+++ for their cheapest wine. U can try asking her for a coordinator day-use room as well.
Always make sure that yr extra perks are in the contract first before signing it. U taking the weekday or weekend package?
