congrats! think you are one of the earliest BTBs in this thread if am not wrong
how are yr preps so far and who is coordinator? btw, hv u cfm yr no. of tables? i may also potentially looking at 40 tables but not sure if the ballroom may be too cramped
I'm so excited! Marriott has returned call and told us that the date is free for us! The couple before us didn't take Marriott up! Yipee! My AD is 24 June. So glad I'd be able to have Marriott for my AD.
Hi Rin,
I most probably will take the helper room perk. In that case, do I still need a coordinator room? Any idea at about what time my helpers can check in?
hi all,
wondering if anyone here managed to book the BR lesser than their minimum required??
we like the place very much, but most likely can't meet the requirement
Well so far my preparation mostly done, still left photo montage, printing of cards and guest (most headache)...haa haa!!! As for no. of tables, right now is ard 30+. Oh ya...my coordinator is Angela.
Well, i choose vineyard theme....cos 1 of my fren hold his wedding at marriott oso...he choose oriental theme...dun like it tho. So far discussion wif angela hv not come to flowers but will request rose petals from her.....dunno how much will she charge
if you taking the helper room, u dun have to ask for the coordinator room..it is the same.
I think they can check in at 2pm together with the bridal suite.
Pinkynporky,
Marriot got this reward program whereby u can credit yr wedding nite spending into reward points and the reward points can be used to exchange for room nites in singapore and even overseas. U can check with yr coordinator for more info.
Any idea if the rewards program applies for deposits placement as well? Went to the website to read up the rewards program, not very clear about it leh.
have you applied for the program?
by the way, I have not seen any offer of coordinator room and helper room in their package or other hotels' package, do they normally offer it? Do you think they will offer it if I have already signed the contract?
No, I think they will only credit the points after yr wedding nite when u fully paid the amount.I was told by Stephine that she will apply the card for me.
If you are booking the dinner package, the helper room is in one of the wedding wish that u can choose. I think the chances of u requesting for it is not high after u have signed yr contract..but u can still try.
saw in some other threads where tables are used to update the status of BTBs, wld be nice to have one here too... does anyone know how to do the table thingy?
I know how to do the table you are referring about... Unfortuantely Rin, its not really excel cut and paste. Let me try to find some time and create something over the weekend and then post it up okies?
I will start first with my details. Ladies if you can provide me with the same details I will try to add them in over the weekend
Here is my info:
AD- 10 Jan 06
Coordinator - Stephine
For Dinner banquet
BS - Milan's Wedding
PS Photo - Milan's Wedding
AD Photo- TBC
AD Video - TBC
Lovenest - Cassia Crescent
I find Stephine not bad.... she always service us with a smile on her face... As for perks, I think she is quite alright to negotiate cos most of the things that I have requested, she is able to give me.
Other than Stephine, I think Angela is the most experienced in Marriott... The rest of the coordinators are still very new... hence might be unable to give extra perks.
hello marriot brides, i have a qns to ask... i called them earlier this afternoon, they said there is a revision to prices for later part of 2006.. e.g. weekday, 8 dish is now at 798. but i received a package details that states it was 738 if i confirm before 4th
is this the usual practice? wonder if any of you experience this?
we were almost sure to sign after the meet up, but now got to think twice
I was told by Stephine that the prices will raise for another $30 per table after aug.
I think they have the right to increase the price of the banquet as long as u have not signed any contract with them cos only the contract will state the actual price u confirm inside.
actually they mentioned that the price has been revised since April.. but i got the "old" pricelist personally from the coord in the beginning of may.. that's y i feel quite unfair
Hi hi, me and FH would most probably sign up with Marriott. Will be a lunch in Nov 05. There's a wedding lunch this sat afternoon, so will go there take a look see.
Hi Chris,
She is my colleague's sister. So far so good... There is no interaction after i signed the contract. However,when i have any queries, i always send her email. Surprising, she replied promptly
Have anyone of u took up their photo montage as one of yr wedding wishes?? wondering how's that?? oso how's their in-house piped in music??
hi all,
i've met up with the coord yesterday..although i like the place very much, i find that the coords are not very interested to do business..or maybe i'm hitting their minimum requirement?
when i tried to ask for more perk, they dun seem keen to discuss at all..felt even worst when she tried to rush us off
i've been trying hard to convince my hubby to take up Marriot, but with the unfriendliness of the coord, it only made things worst
are all the coords like this? or do they treat ppl like this when we've only hit their minimum requirement?
I am also taking 30 tables on a weekday which is their minimum requirement. My coordinator, Stephine is still very friendly to me and accomodate to most of my requests.
hi Rin,
May i know if yours is in Dec? i think they are confident of getting better sales in Dec, hence not very keen to speak to those with minimum tables
I'm going to signed up with Marriott next week. Anyone else's coord is Yiwen.....? Requested to meet up with her many times before I actually confirmed but Yiwen was always patient and very accomodating. She is really a sweet girl! Not to mention kind as she offered me a mint when she saw me coughing!
Anyone having lunch and thinking of topping up for the full dinner set up??
