- Start date
Woo Hoo! Wedding is finally over!
SOOOOOOOooooooo HAPPY.
The dinner was a success! Started at 8.15pm and last guest left at 10.45pm.
Thanks to all for your congratulations! I'm now a MRS ...hahahaha!!!
Marriott ... banquet coordinator's service was wonderful. His name is Moe (I think that's the way it's spelt!)
Charlene our wedding coordinator was also wonderful. Met us at the lobby when we arrived. Guess that's because I smsed her in advance.
Only two slight minor hiccups - our VIP table cloth is suppose to be dark gold but somehow it became red colour. Also I requested for signages for the word groom and bride to be placed at the reception table but there wasn't any.
As for lightings, initially after the first course it was very bright. So we requested them to dim it a little. So the ambience was great. But after our speech, the light had to be brighter as it was photo taking time.
Ang Pow Box - please prepare your own in advance. Marriott's new ang pow box is very tiny and inconvenient. I was suppose to get it from Marriott. Good thing I had a backup. They used to have a nice one but one of the couple accidentally spoilt it (according to Stephine my ex-coordinator). Seems like that they have not sourced for a nicer ang pow box yet.
Overall, a very pleasant experience so far. Oh by the way, there's no safe at the front desk. So got to put your stuff in the safe deposit in your suite.
Food wise ... no idea. Got to ask CSI Fan .... think she was busy noting and researching for her wedding preparation ... hehe!
That's all from me. Going to try the Spa tomorrow!

hehehs...Phy....Congrats again! Glad you enjoyed yourself!
No wonder the lights were so bright after your speech lah....we kept "blinking". Trying to get used to the sudden brightness. But yes, the ambience after the 1st dish was great! I'll take note of that to get them to dim it slightly if necessary <font color="0000ff">(when my turn)</font>...
Ok! I had a "team" of pple helping me with the psuedo-food tasing session...hahaha.
Food was generally yummy. Someone commented that the scallops with mashed taro looked like it came from Old Chang Kee!! (ignore him) muaahahaha....but it tasted nice. Shark's fin with Hasma, Conpoy & Golden Mushrooms was good! Not starchy at all! <font color="ff0000">tell us...how did you get them to serve it non-starchy?</font> Soon Hock was YUMMY! Wan Hao Crispy Chicken was GOOD! THE BEST!!
A must-have dish, according to my "team". hahaha...
Braised ee-fu noodles was, according to the cook-cum-gourmet at our table (Egwin), better than that from other hotels. Mango Pudding...the presentation was COOL....really nice! Egwin is not a fan of mango pudding, but he actually likes Marriott's! (For myself, I'm thinking between the mango pudding and the cakes for dessert...)
Service-wise, the waiter at our table was a very cautious person. Which was good. He portioned out everything neatly (eg. cut the fish slowly, so it does not "scatter/collaspe") before dishing it out onto the plates. But the kitchen was a tad bit slow in between dishes.
Phy, what wine did you use? Did you bring in your own or the Hotel's? It was really smooth and nice!!
But the strange thing was, at one point, the waiter told us that they had run out of wine...??
The Vineyard theme was beautiful! It was a really great choice, Phy! Love your selections for the lightings too. Hey, I also have 2 EG to change into...so must ask you how you managed to schedule it in...
Btw, your emcee was WAY COOL manz!! we were totally "floored"...hahaha

Thanks ladies!
I had a great time!
The sharks fin at some tables were starchy. That was the feedback I had. So I think you were lucky, did not get the starchy part. Haha ... Red wine ran out???!!? ... Haha .... I wonder why no one told me? I told them to open more if need be. Well guess 36 bottles weren't enough. I used House wine ... the $22++ range. You can choose that too.
Ya agree that kitchen was a little too slow. Expecially after the 4th dish. But I think that was to coordinate with photo-taking. According to Moe (my banquet coordinator), they usually speed up the food after photo-taking. Think they take into account of not wanting the whole table to look cluttered with food when we come over to take photos. That's why.
Actually cannot be ran out of red wine, cos after sending out the last guest, my hubby and I kana takan by my JC frens to drink 3 full glasses of red wine, beer and XO. They mad already. So seems like there's left over. Hehe ...
You have 2 EGs too? It depends on when you want to change to the second gown. For me, I wanted to send the guests off in my second gown. That's why I changed right after photo taking and dessert.
I had a friend who changed in the middle of photo-taking. So that readlly depends on you

hey Phy,
Oh, hehs...guess we were lucky!
ahh...the House wine ah. okie. It was not bad. Leonard drank at least 10 glasses!! (We think it's 10 lah. He probably lost count himself.)
It was so farnee...we asked for wine. They said no more. Huh? Ok lorh. Then suddenly have. Ok. But Leonard asked for more again (he heavy drinker lah he). They said no more! So in the end, to play safe, he got Mr. Teo's 2 other friends (same table next to him) to order wine too. Such that there's always 3 glasses of wine. So that when Leonard finishes his glass, he just swaps the empty glass with the glasses placed with Mr. Teo's frens. hahaha...so he has his constant supply of wine there...
Ahh....they have a point also lah, so that the tables dun look cluttered with food. I see...
Yap, was thinking of changing in the middle of photo-taking. Just dunno how to pull it off...hehs.
Btw, what wedding wishes did u choose?

hi iceblink: tks for sharin with me yr precious photos! they r very beautifully taken & i tink yr PG is very good...like the way the wedding photo collages r taken! (specially like the "anticipation" where they take yr tiny little toes... hehehe)
who is yr PG?
who is yr PG?
Hi CSI Fan!
Waaa .... he drank so much wine uh? He feeling moody is it? That's why drank and drank? Hehe ...
If you wanna change in the middle, then you can change after taking photo with half the ballroom. Then got to tell the kitchen to slow down the food. Unless you you change very fast. Sure no problems. My friend had 5 changes of clothes that time also can pull off. Actual wedding ended at 10.45pm la. Everyone was very grumpy then. Haha ...
You got to tell your coordinator Vincent before hand. I told Charlene a few days before the wedding. Anyway I only wanted to change after photo-taking. So not too much of a problem.
Wedding wishes? We took the 12 bottles of wine, 30l of beer and a free one night stay for my in-laws. They have car, so they could ferry my hubby to the BS to return the gowns the next day. Hehe ... So gave them free one night stay.

Hey iceblink,
Missed out your post. Oohh...Jon Keng...I enquired with him before (can't remember what he quoted me liao), but he's taken up on my AD and he was suggesting his assistant...which I wasn't keen on. haiz...Jon's a poly student or something like that, right?
So in the end, I signed with Stephen of Lyrical Moments. Sailormoonwt, you can consider my PG too...

Hi Phy - thanks! Yep, really happy with the highlights, captured what happened during my AD nicely & it's easy to carry around
Fairyland - do send your pics when ready! would really love to see your gowns! great to see another TWP bride here!
sailormoon - do consider jon, he's a really easy & funny guy to work with. haf sent you pte msg regarding his package.
CSI Fan - yep, jon is a poly student but he graduated already... he's only doing AD up till the end of the year, he's going to concentrate on pre-wedding instead. he actually brot his assistant to my fren's wedding & honestly i couldn't tell the difference between his shots & the assistant's. he trained him well!

hey iceblink! im a fan of TWP gowns, that's y i like urs....i went down to check them out few weeks ago, but unfortunately, i didn't see any of those beautiful gowns that TWP brides always show me! n somehow, can't really click with the designer, so i dropped them. sigh, its a pity though, but i really think that is impt to hv good rapport with the designers. but hey, i didn't know that TWP tied up w jon keng.
hey hey fairyland! congrats!!! do share ur pics when they r ready k?? =)

hi jay & lemonade88 - you can view my photos at www.jonkeng.com/gallery/ mine's the 2nd album
hi am_blessed - thank you!
hey twinstarz! hiyah, it's too bad that you couldn't click wif the designer (girl or guy??) but it's definitely better to go wif a designer you're comfortable with. so which BS did you go wif? nope, TWP doesn't tie up with jon keng... i approached him on my own
