Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel


Hi CSI,

Ya, pls send me the menu. Would like to take a look at the new menu. By the way, I went for my 2nd food tasting last Thursday and I have no complaints this time round. I'm pretty happy with the fish (with a little extra cost, sign...). Hopefully they will maintain the standard for my AD.
 
hmm, no lei sailormoon... my coordinator told me i can go for 2nd food tasting if i am not satisified with the food serve during the first time
 
hey hey ladies! wow..thread moving fast today! am v glad to join the marriott btb family too! =)

CSI!!! rem talking to u at the AL thread previously when i was BS hunting n briefly at this marriot thread a long time ago too! time flies..AD coming soon?

sailormoon, ur AD is abt 2 weeks after mine! wkday too right? thu? sure! will catch up with u at the other thread! :P

did u gals take the bridal suite tour during the show? we went to have a look, quite nice....but there's gonna be some re-furnishing done i think..changing the carpets, curtains n tv etch.
 
hey twinstarz, yap yap i went to view the bridal suite.. they will be having some re-furnishing for their rooms. targeted to finish next year.
 
I changed a few dishes of my menu and I topped up a little bit more to change the fish. That's why I requested for a 2nd food tasting. Was quite dissapointing with my first food tasting. Fish was bad, noodles too salty etc. The only dish that I was satisfied was the wan hao signature chicken. But I was glad that my 2nd food tasting was ok.

I do undertsand that food served during food tasting and actual dinner will be slightly different. But just imagine the standard was already lousy for the food tasting, how good can the actual dinner be ? So now I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for my actual day dinner. Hopefully they can at least maintain the standard.
 
Mine is a weekday package. I signed up with Marriott during the wedding bash last October. My AD is in another 2 weeks' time.

hi twinstarz,
yap yap...chatted here with you a while back. Time really flies...heehee...I can't remember...did you take up ALW in the end?
happy.gif

Yap, my AD is coming up...2 weeks' time. A few days after Shermaine. heehee...

Hmmm...the sea perch ah? maybe I'll change to that dish.

Hi sailormoonwt, yap, you can go for 2nd food tasting if you're not satisfied with the 1st...and it's for 6 pple...

Hi Shermaine, your "new" fish dish is the perch is it?
 
Hi CSI Fan,

No, my new 'fish' is Garoupa. I'm quite interested in the sea perch after reading the good comments here today. But I have no idea what type of fish is that leh.

Just had my Guo Da Li yesterday. Luckily everything went smoothly. Now final count down to the big day. Time really flies man...
 
congrats shermaine!!!

perch hor, not sure what fish is that also.. but taste nice and not like those fish we eat during weddings.. something unique and special..
 
hey shermaine, did u already told ur co-ordinator when u 1st signed up that u'll request for a 2nd food tasting if u r not satisfied with the 1st? i had so many request while negotiating before signing up that i dun think she'll accomodate anything further! hee. what is guo da li by the way? is it the ceremony for the exchange of gifts?

hi hi CSI! i signed up with silhouette in the end..coz AL wanted to charge me alot more for an additional teadress...i would hv signed up with them otherwise, coz i really enjoyed discussing designed with miah..he's a sweetheart! haha..how's ur photoshoot? which photographer did u sign up with? im busy sourcing for AD photographer now..n worse still, yet to decide on my PS photographer yet..sigh...last min bride.

by the way gals, did any of u manage to get corkage waived for additional bottles of wine - if purchased from marriott?
 
hi evelyn! wow..meaning u'll be having 36 more bottles on top of the 12 complimentary? guess most of ur guests are wine drinkers? i tried to negotiate for both free flow beer n waiver of corkage..but didn't get the waiver...sigh. hopefully, there won't be that many wine drinkers. the coordinator did say that they can get the waiters to only start serving wine when the dinner starts n not during the cocktail..haha, hope it helps me man! but i think it'll be weird if guests ask for wine during cocktail n the waiters say "not now...later when dinner starts"...haha...think i'll faint.
 
haha, ya lor twinstarz. Many of out friends are drinker sia.. keke

i may have to use all my wishes for wine instead (12 x 3). in additional to 12 complimentary from UOB. My FH will bring in maybe other 3 more cartons of red wine (with corkage waived).

ya lor, that is what alicia told me too. start the wine and beer thingy when the dinner starts.. haha
 
hi evelyn,

i am also using all 3 wishes for the 12bottles of wine per wish. plus paying by UOB, so additional 12 bottles.
i also scared not enuf cause our side all hardcore drinkers.
The 3 cartons of wine u bring in is from Marriott or outside? if its outside, ur corkage is waived?
I only manage to get waiver of corkage for wines bought from Marriott leh..
Twinstarz, i also wanted free flow beer,but cant.
 
hi linda, i think i know already! marriott is only offering either free flow of beer or waiver of corkage..coz i only got free flow beer but didn't get waiver of corkage n u got waiver of corkage but no free flow beer. any of u gals here managed to get both? it'll be a readlli good deal if so! =)

hi csi! many thanks for the recommendation! i'll drop him a note to get his rates..is he v ex?
 
hey linda and twinstarz,

i nvr ask for free flow, cos i already have 50L free. shld be enuff.. my side more on wine drinker rather the beer. hee hee..

I manage to get corkage waived for 36 bottles of wine brought from outside...is that a lot?
 
Hi evelyn

Heartiest congrats to Shermaine & CSI Fan, all the best to your wedding
happy.gif
yeah!

The sea-perch is nice. It's not whole fish so the plate will be empty with no remains of fish bone de.
Went for a 2nd helping
happy.gif
dunno wat's the tiny bits but taste great with the sauce.
 
Hey Shermaine,

so sorry...I reached home quite late last night coz I went to my new place to put more stuff...so was quite tired...haven't emailed u yet. And today I didn't bring the menu to work, so can't email u from here also...sorry. Pai seh. Tonight...yah? heehee...
 
Hi CSI Fan,

No worries, you can mail me tonight.

Hi Twinstarz,

Nope, I didnt request for 2nd food tasting when I signed up last year. Didnt think of that too.

This year perks seem like not bad leh. You mean Marriott actually allows you to utilise all the wedding wishes for the same wish ? I asked my co-ordiantor before and she said no. Why so double standard one ?
 
hi shermaine, maybe more pple asking them, so they decided to change policy. Marketing lah...gotta go with what's more popular...
 
wah, so happy this thread is moving fast..
happy.gif

hi shermaine, can use up all 3 wishes under 1 wish..but i also find them double standard.

twinstarz,
i didnt have free flow beer nor corkage waived for wine. ;(
i asked for free flow beer, but couldnt, at last manage to get 2 30l barrel. (one 30l from wedding show, another is a increase from the 20l from the standard package)
i also ask for waiver of wine, but alicia couldnt give me leh.. cause she say already have 48 bottles of wine (from 3 wishes and uob promo).
evelyn,
i think u got not bad a deal..for waiver of 36 bottles is good.. at least u can get wines cheaper outside..i think i will try to speak to alicia tom and see if she can waive corkage again...at least give me 12 corkage free, i also happy..
happy.gif


anyone taking the 45mins ensemble?
 
hi jennifer,

the wedding show just ended last sat. u need to call Marriott and check with the coordinator..i think still can...usually they allow. same as UOB promo..

Good Luck!
 
hi ladies

sorry for missing in action...was down with very bad virus attack in gastric flu...oredi MC for two days..today the 3rd day liao....managed to drag myslf out of bed & read so many comments..looks like i m missing alot..

hey...i dun understn abt the using "all 3 wishes for the 12bottles of wine per wish. plus paying by UOB, so additional 12 bottles" = 48 bottles?

for me...one of my 3 wishes for wines is additional 6 house wines frm Marriott tat i can chose frm....

Shermaine: yup...the sea perch is reali very unique..not those normal fish tat u get to taste in other wedding banquets..

ladies...if we gonna chose sea perch & must top up $$ .... i m hestitating whether i wanna change or not... cos marriott weekday/weekends dinner oredi not cheap liao... sigh... how?
 
hey sailormoon,

i understand is that, if say the first food tasting i am not satisifed, i can go for toher round of food tasting again..
 
Hey gals, how much is the 45mins ensemble? i saw a 2pc ensemble during reception on the 21st of Oct and was rather impressed. They were right at the escalator so when your guest arrive, its a very good welcome to them. Anyone got contact and price to share with me?
 
hey Jennifer!! no wonder i find yr nick very familiar ... hehehe .... yup!! i defintely rem u .. one of the very early ones to start the ROM MAy 06 thread !!!! *wink wink*

can u PM me yr multiply ID so tat i can add u?
happy.gif
 
hi adeline. is it eileen? coz i got her as my co-ordinator n she pronounce her name as "ai-leen" too. she's not bad, quite accomodating.
 
hei ladies,

had my wedding in Sep 06.

some pointers to share :

-ve ones
1.faulty safe in the wedding suite
2.unvalidated carpark passes that some guests received
3.floral stands for the photography session were not arranged
4.flower decor in the ballroom were not what we have expected. Small red roses were used instead of big ones. oriental charm theme doesnt meet our expectations
5.My MIL law had instructed the waitress to keep the food for us and send it up to the weding suite after the dinner. But the food never arrived.
6. the ensemble were at the escalator and too far away fr the reception. nobody seemed to be interested.
7. left my cancan in the suite after check out. only realised it 2 days later. luckily went to hotel and found it. Hotel did not call to let us know that they hv found the item in the rm
8. 1st fd tasting was disappointing. Had a 2nd fd tasting FOC
9. No choc tower/ pastry in wedding suite
10. wedding suite looked just like a biz suite..no romantic ambience at all
11. weddg suite given was much smaller than the one my fren had 5 yrs back

+ve
1. recv $150 voucher as compensation for the safe
2. had 3 meals on the house before the weddg when we went meet the weddg exec.
3. Very responsive banquet manager
4. good feedback on the food quality esp. the dessert + jing do style pork ribs
5. Flexible weddg exec & positive attitude
 
Hi snow_baby,

Thank you for your pointers...we shd all bear these in mind...
happy.gif


They are changing the safes in the whole hotel, but still, always good to take note of such things...safe is v impt....
happy.gif
 
Jennifer ... added u liao
kao_wink.gif


snow_baby ... note tat u had the 45 min ensemble in yr wedding .. how was the overall experience? did they continue playing during yr dinner as well? was it 4-pc Jazz band ??
 
sailormoonwt,
i dint really hear the ensemble cos i went to the reception at almost 8pm and was bz taking photos.
but when i went down, most guests were in ballrm and not many ppl were outside.. my opinion is : if this 3-pcs ensemble is not FOC, no point having it. maybe mine was a weekday dinner. ppl came early. moreover we had our holiday photos playing in the ballrm to keep the guests entertained.
 
hihi,
from wat i know, the ensemble costs ard $600, and its a 3 piece band.
Its one of the wishes in the package that you can select. if u use this wish, then no need to source for outside.
hi sailormoon,
i think cause ur wedding was a weekday, so only have 6 bottles of wine free from the wishes.
if its weeekend, its 2 bottles.
cause we can select 3 wishes, i will be utilising all 3 for the same wish (ie 12 bottles of wine per wish).
on top of that, if pymt is made using UOB card, there's another 12 bottles of wine free.
In this case: I will have 48 complimentary bottles of wines.
hi snowbaby,
thanks for those pointers! its certainly very helpful.
 
Hi CSI Fan,

Just to tell u IU'll be able to make it for your dinner. Church I'll try. Quite pack. Adrian can't make it for the dinner though. So it's only me only. Hope I'm not too late!
