Hi pei,
Hmm.. actually the Q&A questions can be quite fun & you can fill the involvment of your guests haha rather than everybody sit round the table whole night just eating right? Utimately, end of the night, when they leave the ballroom...at least they will still remember the interesting happenings ..
Well, my friend planned questions relating to movies and songs....as this is a very general category where majority of the people should more or less have some ideas on. Probably you need to access who are the majority group of ppl @ your wedding and that will help to determine whats the best. Cheers!

Hi Pearly, really appreciate your reply. Thank u! Wanna make the wedding a memorable one... I guess we'll have the Q&A session as a kind of entertainment for guests. Maybe some questions related to ourselves, families and friends. Must go crack our heads to think of the questions.
When is your big day? At Marriott too?

Hi guys, was considering the marriott lunch package as well because of the very reasonable rates. However, popped by the grand ballroom last weekend with my fiance and was really disappointed. Would they be renovating it anytime soon? Perhaps its because we viewed it after some really nice ballrooms at other hotels. It could also be because it was bare, but was wondering how the ballroom looks with the full set-up?
Hi Pearly, yup... busy with the wedding as well as my house reno... *headache*.. there are so many things to do...stressful but at the same time, enjoying the process..
Hi halia, the lunch setting is very much simpler as compared to a dinner. However, you can opt to top up ($300) to the 'vineyard' or 'oriental' theme, just like a dinner setting. For me, i worked with the florist to come out with something different, paid abt $250.

Hi Phy*o
Read from the past archive, u actually shortlisted 8 hotels before settling with Marriott. Mind sharing with me which are the hotels u shortlisted? What are the deciding factors which result in you choosing Marriott? Mind sharing with me what are the perks you managed to bargain for? Coz I'm also thinking of having a dinner banquet on weekend.
Maybe you can reply me via email with regards to the questions stated above? email add: [email protected]
Thanks in advance!

Hi ah yoshi,
Serious? they gonna mark up the price?? I presume that's explain why they could give a further $30nett per table off again as compared to the present pricing. Yah, you better speak to stephine since you liaise with her. I tried to call her also but guess she will only be back next week. hmmm.. Usually the perks for wedding show seems to be that "free-flow beer" thingy. I believe the rest of the items are quite standard though. One thing for sure, they will not reveal much info until that very day. So it is really up to you if you wanna take that little risk to wait. Did you chk if your date are still avail? cos otherwise sometimes if dates are taken up..also headache.

Hi Irene,
Heard they will only reveal the details of the new themes at the wedding show and after that only. So we properly will hv to keep our fingers cross till the show. Tried to ask them but guess they won't tell you much at this moment.

Hi yoshi,
My package is a weekend package in June 2006. So, it's a different price from 2005. What I did was not to negotiate the price but to negotiate the items. As we're paying one of their most expensive packages, we actually have more bargaining power. I kind of confirm what I wanted from the wish list and requested for a day room for my bridesmaid. As for the new themes, they are applicable to those who booked next year too. So no need to worry about that. Same goes for wedding favours.
What you can do is think through what you need and write it down. Bring it to your coordinator and negotiate. Emphasize that you are paying for one of the better priced packages. They would most likely obliged la.

Hi Phy*O,

Hi yoshi,
I paid $958 per table. They do not need to waive cockage for me as I purchased the wine directly from them. Much cheaper than buying wine from outside and then pay for cockage. If you were to read the archives, there's a detailed explanation with regard to wine and cockage.
She also said that the helpers room depends on room availability. But since it's our wedding, we try to think positive. She explained in detail to us why it was not possible. So we actually understand the circumstances. Anyway, she did promise us a room although with conditions and we are quite happy.

Hi Khoo,
So glad to hear abt the "excellent" service.
Now can "fan xin" already. As I had yet to been to any of the banquet @ Marriott so really worried how the whole thing will turn out to be. Btw they do put "dry ice effect" during march in right?
So glad to hear abt the "excellent" service.
hihi everyone, mine was the mixture of both themes. They do have the mechanism to release dry ice. They oso gave rose petals for the guests to throw.
One person i must compliment is Christine. She is detailed, thorough and sensible. She is one of the most experience co-ordinator in Marriott. She made my dinner went on smoothly, time keep our dinner promptly, dun think i can stay cool & pretty without her!!!
No sweat, the fotos will be shared once developed

I did nt pay extra $$ for mixing the two themes. They asked wat theme i wan, the colours i prefer, the flowers i like, etc.... so i told them i prefer mixtures lor..
i dun like the vineyard's fire gates cos they seem quite unique liao.

Hi Khoo,
You mean to say neither will Angela or Michelle will be there on my wedding day to coordinate dinner for me? I'm also confused now... though my dinner is still a long way to go (March 2006).

HI Khoo,
Thks for the info once again. I guess they are pretty flexible with the match & mix theme.. oh...the vineyard abit antique huh! Hmm...actually had attended a wedding over at another hotel which has something similar like the fire gates but theirs is more of a flower stand type with tea light candles as well. It was kinda of scary cos I kept seeing guests nearly knocking over the metal stands as they walk around...the wobbling stands seems dangerous...and I was keeping my fingers cross. hmm btw, any comments abt the banquet staff? Cos just heard from a friend commented that another five star hotel along orchard had hired alot of foregin banquet staff and the service standards are really bad and even spill food on the table and worse still some even spill drinks on the guests as well.
Ayane, Irene
I think Angela, Michelle, Stephine are only the banquet/wedding sales staff..while on that actually day of your banquet, the hotel will alocate a so call Banquet Mgr / Co-ordinator on duty to see to your banquet needs as well as to co-ordinate your entire evening schedule. They will only be your pt. of contact for that nite. You will usually liase with this particular duty person on that nite as they are the experience ppl dealing with the actual banquets event as well as incharge of all the banquet staff as well. Cheers!

Hi Pearly,
Tks for ur clarifications!
Hi Artitute,
I guess its better to secure ur venue for banquet soon as next yr is an auspicious year. Alot of weddings going on. I booked my venue with Marriott in March this yr. Some dates are already taken up (esp for weekends). My banquet is on 8 Mar 06. When is yours?

Hi Irene
You're welcome.
Hi artitute,
I do agree with Irene too. It is better to secure your banquet first as some of the dates you wanna book might be taken up esp 'hot dates' haha! If you are keen with Marriott and can't decide immediately yet, you might wanna chk with Michelle if she can tentatively block that date for you first.

Hi i guess not everone understands me... angela, stephine or yiwen will still be the ones co-ordinating yr whole dinner preparations. They will hold a meeting with all yr emcees and helpers just b4 the dinner starts. During tat time, they will intro the banquet manager to u & brief whoever the manager is the details of yr dinner. You can leave yr montage vcd, music cds with them.
After which, they will go off and leave everything to the banquet manager liao. From there, yr helpers can straight away liase with the banquet manager.

hi khoo,
thanks for your clarification! so christine was your banquet manager then? I also feel much more 'fang xin' now, cos the sales person i spoke to seemed quite inexperienced.. at least i now know that the person in charge of the dinner itself is experienced
hi flower,
no i didnt get the extra free nite stay. think this is one of the few items that marriott is not able to be flexible about.. the other thing is wine.
