Chloe, my AD is in Nov 05!
Gintonic, this sat is a wedding lunch, chinese served lunch. Its like eveing banquet but hold in day time. The min is 15 tables, and can use the ballroom.
We'll drop by at 11.30 to see the setup. If everything looks ok, then we'll probably negotiate the terms.

Hi gals, haven't been around for some time.
Elmo, your wedding date is just one day after mine! some more I am a whitelink bride too.
Rin, I am surprised that Marriot can accomodate to most of your request. ie you got a lot of freeby is it? I tried and tried, like not much that I can squeeze out leh.
Jan 06 got PH? Which day? I hear CNY is in late Jan in 06. any idea which day it is on? My calendar don't have any updates yet so need to check (if u have)
Lilac blur, woman, i guess we spoke. ;P
Hmm... may be taking the lunch is an alternative if you really like the place.
Weekends lunch shouldn't be a prob as long as the older folks dont mind. Somemore, you r thinkg of having it in Dec, the festive mood would put cheer into most pple + younger frens & relatives can go clubbing or chill out after the lunch. Plus if at Marriot, think pple wouldn't pao too little for ang pao la.
If not, if you still want dinner, other hotels have nice set ups as well, i also shortlisted Sheraton before (for the high ceiling that my FH likes), but I don't like chandeliers, so swayed my FH away from it.. hehe..., Or you wanna persevere with your nego with Steph.
Anyway, it was so tiring to shop for banquet venue.
At least get to talk a little bit more here. Too busy in office. Hope you find your venue soon.

Hi Khoo
Yes I managed to get those perks free but still didn't manage to waive off the corkage for wine.
I very straightforward when I went for the negotiation. I told them I was choosing between Marriott and HI and I will confirm with whoever can give me the better deal. I guess mine was not a very hot date, so they throw in watever I tried to negotiate for. I paying for $738 nett per table.

Yes Rin, i agree with phy *o*. Taking up their wine is more economical. I'm intending to do so : )
Rin, then wat are u goin to choose from yr wish list??
Feel so happy for u...can have the projector for free.. do u know there is only one screen at the left hand side of stage?

Hi Khoo,
There are actually two screen...one on the left and e other on the right. E hotel will be able to lend us the projector foc as it belongs to them so u may want to ask your coordinator.
As for the other, u can choose the photo montage and u can get the other projector too...

Gintonic, i can't remember the ballroom is on which floor, think 3rd. I'll be going down later. Will let u know again.
Ya, the lunch is from Wan Hao Restaurant. Think u go take the brochure from Stephine, quite informative. Mine is hardcopy, if not can email u.
My date is 1 Nov 05, apparently not a hot date, so i will try to ask them to throw in more things. Hope they will entertain as mine is just a lunch not dinner.

Hi Pie, How's d findings today? me oso keen to have it as lunch too. Wil it b alot cheaper than dinner? hee, me just joined d MRS club yesterday so thot of having d customary on d same date next yr as its on a sat. But stil need to check out d tong shu 1st then can confirm. Guess most hotels need u to confirm d dates 1st before finalised your bookings, rite? Or can tentatively fix a date 1st?
Gintonic, FH and I were so disappointed yday. Stephine forgot about our appt, and when we reached there, the lunch has already started. There's no way we can see the layout and deco. So we are going back there 4th Jun.
U can tentatively book a date with the hotel first. Usually they will hold for u until another couple wants the same date. They will call u then to ask if u still wanna that date. If u want, then probably its time to pay the deposit.

hi pei
i had wedding lunch on 21 May. did u wanted to have a view of the ballroom's layout or deco? if got pic will show u. but i realise i had no time to bother about that. was more engrossed talking wif relatives and fren. but no regret doing lunch cos the mood more relax and i prefer not to make my fren pay too much for ang pow. food is good for that price. i may not get that at some chinese restaurants. i consumed 16 bottles of wine. most importantly, the hotel's banquet coordinator must be efficient. i had Christina, i think. she is very customer-oriented. she served me super well. i couldn't eat a lot of stuff cos gum problem. she arranged porridge for me without delay! if got more queries, email me at [email protected]

Hi Gintonic,
Congratulations!
Hi Pei,
Don't be too sad. Think she's very busy. She had a wedding dinner on Sat. When I went down to sign my contract, I didn't dare take up too much of her time cos I was afraid she'd have to meet the groom for the dinner.
What you can do is to call the hotel and ask when's the next lunch wedding and pop in on your own (relatively early). Most coordinators won't mind. I went down last sat evening just to see if I was lucky to see any deco ... Managed to view the vineyard theme. Then yesterday I saw the oriental theme.
Something I noticed and thought I'd share with you. I think stephine usually calls to confirm the appointment one day or half a day earlier. So if you don't get a call from her, perhaps you can start wondering.

Hi Gintonic, there was a wedding lunch held for a couple on Sat. I do not have Stephanie's no with me, with my FH. I can get from him and post it here.
Hi Jolene, yup, we were interested to see the deco. We have attended wedding dinners there, but not lunch. So wanna see how the ballroom looks like during the day. It will be great if you have pic to share, but if u have no time, its ok. We'll wait till 4th Jun to take a look. Like wat u've said, we also think tat for lunch, the mood is more relax, & the event can be more intimate. Christina is so thoughtful, got porridge for u.
Did u top up $ for the extra deco?

hi gintonic
my package was as of 2004. i missed the offer that i think is valid till aug2005. have to call the banquet team for more updated deals. i think citibank card holders oso have some deals.
hi pei
i didn't top up the deco cos i spent the $300 top up on better gifts for my helpers, even bought the hotel's cakes and wines for family and fren. i think what they provide is good enoough. in fact most of my guest were not particular abt that. they bother more about good if not satisfactory food and service which marriott gave. honestly i've no regret!

Hi Gintonic,
Jolene is right. Heard from Marriott that they are having offers ony for this year with Citibank card holders. The first time they're having this offer to close up the gaps for this year.
Hi Jolene,
Mind if you tell me what cakes did you get? Is it the cakes for the gua da li or after the wedding?

hi phy*o*
o i mean i got passion praline cake (like about 1kg) as gift for each of my sibling-in-law on AD. not GDL cake.
hi all
i got the cheapest wine, and everyone enjoyed it! so no fear. ya, it may be a lil more pricey than those on consignment from shops, but the hassle to get the wine and pass to the hotel is not worth the effort. the errand can make us very tired.
os, as you compare your package wif what other brides get, be in touch wif the hotel's staff cos they always have new development. eg. when i 1st met them in Nov 2004, the favour offered was chocolate. when i called again in Feb, they had revamped, and i get flora tea as favour.

Hi Jolene, did you hold your solemnisation at Marriott as well? Stephine was telling my FH that the couple on sat started earlier becoz they had their solemnisatio there. Stephine called and apologised to us, so sweet of her...
Hi Gintonic, i've emailed you the lunch info. Check it out!

hi Rin
all my guests like the food. i saw the steamed fish. so BIG! if i hear no complaint fr my family mean they r reasonable esp for $528nett. do u need the menu? i dun have it now. can fax u tmr.
hi pei
i mentioned to Stephine about the episode. cos i think it is a misunderstanding. yes, i held my solemnisation at 12noon. so can't have interested couple to view the ballroom fr 12-1pm. there were couples who came at 11plus and after the makan began, and my fren who were ushers didn't stop them fr viewing. i think the best time to view is bet 11-1145am cos they jus get ready the ballroom.

Hi Jolene,
Thks a lot! Think we were just disappointed that she forgot abt the appt, not so much on we can't view the ballroom.
Can I ask u more abt the solemnsation? Did u get a JP or a religious leader to solemnise ur wedding? If the solemnisation takes an hour, u probably a Christian/Catholic? FH & I are Christians, and we'll hold ours before the lunch too. But not sure if logistically, are there any problem? Sorry for asking so many questions.
