Hi all, I had just held my wedding dinner last saturday night (22 Oct 05) at the Marriott, and it was a great success! The banquet supervisor, Christine, was very meticulous (even my helpers on that day praised her for her professionalism) and my wedding co-ordinator, Yiwen, displayed a lot of understanding and flexibility. Re some complaints about Marriott not responding promptly, I did not have such unpleasant experience, in fact, they did respond to my requests and queries in a timely fashion and if Yiwen happened not to be around, her colleague Michelle was around to help take down a message or to answer my queries.
The prices that Marriott charges for their weekend dinner packages is definitely one of the highest around (based on my research, perhaps second only to Ritz Carlton), but the food and service are excellent and first-class. Marriott may not be as opulent-looking as some other venues, but has understated elegance and class. Because it is less commonly used by wedding couples for their wedding dinners (many guests actually mentioned that this is the first time they have attended a function at the Marriott), you can be assured of a higher turn-out by the guests as many of them would be curious! Most importantly, my guests had a wonderful time and many of them actually gave very good feedback.
I would highly recommend Marriott to new couples.
