Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel

hi hadoe... i was deciding btw Raffles the Plaza and Marriott too while we are choosing venue... i like their intelligent lightings.... but chose Marriott in the end... for raffles I need to share the ballroom with other couples as I only need 30 odds tables on a weekend and Marriott I have the whole ballroom all to myself... so this win me over...
Thanks, Lilac (again!) and Amore! My big day is gonna be a few days before year end. If I were to choose Westin, then it will be at Stamford Ballroom cos I like the squarish design... But I did not get to see that Ballroom in wedding banquet set-up so not too sure abt the ambience there.
Marriott-when I went for site inspection the other day which happens to be someone's wedding dinner, saw the floral arrangement and it was very pathetic. Maybe the couples chose the wrong flowers- the deco was with deep red roses but they are not in full bloosoms so it was not very nice. Lilac and Amore, better check out their florist, ok? Better still, try to give them some designs you have in mind. Advisable to choose big flowers like Pink Lilies, Sunflower, Cascablanca Roses etc. Also, please check and confirm the VIP table deco too, that day the VIP tables looked quite awkward. Imagine Huge chairs with no seat covers for the VIPS!!??

Hi all,
Long time no hear! At least from my side. Have been so filled with work and stuff, only check here occassionally.
Hi Jo,
How did your meeting with Richard go? Quite curious...
Hi bubbletea,
If I'm not wrong, the food at Marriott isn't too bad. My friend who just attended a wedding at Marriott, said that the food was quite good!
Just wondering if anyone of you have the list of official printers for Marriott? Very undecided about printers, somemore need cards for church invitation!

hi gals,
i just had my wedding dinner at the marriott on 10 March. my guests had very good comments for the food. i'm very happy with the service. the only hiccup was that they didn't communicate with my coordinator clearly when they were opening the 2nd barrel of beer. in the end, there was some dispute. but overall, very happy that i held my dinner there.

hi dolphie, no i didn't have wine. i only had beer and hard liquor. i didn't use jasvy for printing. i used acepro creative link... the hassle for not using jasvy is that you need to collect the cards from the hotel on your own and bring them to your own printer.
Hi Nokia,
I'll be there around 2pm. I think Marriott offers standard cards, hence the printers can't make it any more unique.
Hi Mail lum,
Acepro is one of the printers on my list. The others being Tecman (cos I need to get church invites) and T-Dragon. How did you find the service and quality by Acepro?
Hi Amore,
In August, you'll be so well-prepared by then! (unlike me).
Take care!

hi Dolphie,
Acepro was very prompt in delivering their services. the prices are reasonable too. Overall, i'm happy with them. but i'm not too sure about their church invites. haven't seen their designs cos my best friend helped me with that and i just got a printing firm to do the printing.

Hi all,
I went down to Jasvy last week. Cards are quite limited. But they do give good advices and quite accommodating.
if you are looking for more creative cards, can try tea creation at Penisula. heard that is not too bad. but i had not gone down there before.
just hear say hear say.
good luck.

Hi Lilac,
I only called up Acepro for their quotes. I think for normal printing, it's $80 for <300 pieces. Hotstamping is $50 for mold, $0.50 per card.
Hi mail lum,
Thank you for your feedback! Acepro seems good! The girl on the phone seems nice and the price is reasonable.
Hi nokia,
You're looking to print the marriott cards at Jasvy or purchasing cards?

hi fellow Marriott brides,
just to check with couples who held their dinner recently. does Marriott serve guests individually? I asked my co-ordinator when I signed up but apparently they don't. I left it at tat cos I tot only the more expensive 5-star hotels such as Conrad does tat. However, recently I attended wedding dinners at Sheraton and Merchant Court and found tat individual serving for guests have become the norm. perhaps we should all ask Marriott to do the same for us too if they are not already doing it.

Hi Lilac,
$1 per card is a bit on the high side. Does that include the price for the mold?
Hi nokia,
My friend mentioned that for hotstamping, she found the prices for Hi-Tech and T-dragon more reasonable. Although I'll have to admit that Acepro should be able to offer less than $180 if you're quoting for 200 cards. Do reconsider if budget is a constraint, ok?
Oh and what do you mean if anyone is able to get Richard? I just called him just now, if that's what you meant.
Hi mail lum,
I agree. Fortunately for me, bf and I feel that we're not really that keen on gold, hence no need for hotstamping. That means we needn't spend too much on printing too.

hi dolphie,
same for me. i didn't use hotstamping too becos i think by using inserts, we can afford some mistakes but not for hotstamping. If you write a person's name wrongly on the card, you got to discard it already. But one disadvantage of using inserts is that you need to tie the gold strings... quite troublesome. BTW, if anyone's looking for gold strings, i bought mine at Golden Dragon at $3.90 for 100 metres... really cheap

Hi Dolphie,
I am not sure if the $1 per card includes the mold or not. But no matter how I calculate, I still find Jasvy's quote too expensive.
I may call T-Dragon and Hi-Tech to get quotes as well. Collecting my cards from Marriott next month.
One of the main reason for me to use hotstamping is the tying of gold strings.....hehe....me lazy lah.
By the way, are you girls buying the organza pouches from Marriott for the chopsticks? Think Angela told me its about $1 per piece.

hi Dolphie,
Thanks for your help. the cost of $180 is before nego, will try to ask for a lower price.
I was trying very hard to get Richard. Finally got to speak to him last Friday. Must say that he is had to get, but i think he is very helpful.
my wedding is in June. 2 more months to go!!

Hi Lilac,
Glad to be of some help!
Likewise, I'm quite lazy, will not be tying gold strings too. Hoping to just use normal colour stamping if possible. Will see how that turns out.
Chopsticks from Marriott? You took the weekend package? Mine's on a weekday and there's only the Valrona chocs favours.
Hi Nokia,
Yes, you shld try to negotiate for a better price. If other shops are able to quote cheaper, that may help you to negotiate.
Wedding in June too for me. Many things to be done!

Hi Sher
I checked out. Though the price is good, it is only applicable for Yr 2003 bookings. Only left 1 weekend date for Yr 2003, weekday dates are the ' not so auspicious' date.
But if u not particular, can check it out.

Hi "interested in marriott" & "also marriott",
i've booked wif them today. sorry, din check dis site until today. ya, mine is a weekday, cos the geomancer recommends as auspicious date for me & FH. if there was only one wkend date, it could be tentatively booked? can double cfm. i tentatively booked one wkday & one wkend date wif them.
anyway, i think they will extend the special price for weekday rate for 04 weddings.

Hi Nokia,
This is indeed worrying. I had communicated with Richard last week and he did not mention anything. Quite sad as I find that he's a nice person to work with.
Your wedding is in June too right? Hoping that a change in coordinators at this time will not affect the plans much.

Hi Nokia,
My wedding dinner is on 17th June, weekday. Had my food tasting already, it's quite good. Generally happy with the quality and taste of food. Hope the standard will be the same on the actual day itself.
Hi she,
Glad to hear that Siva's sounds easy to work with. Have you booked your wedding date yet?

Hi All,
Very happy with the food tasting. i chose the Bliss 1 menu. hope that the food is as good as the food tasting. Portion is really big and seems like no too much MSG.
but a bit worry on the wine list. No more Australia wine. try the rest but the taster were very blend.
Hope that they have new wine for June else have to buy from outside.
Any suggestion on the wine ? budget below $30 ?
