sailormoonwt, my dinner is on 31st May and I only got my printed cards in end Jan. I didnt go to Marriott's printer coz I got other contacts. We only printed the inserts and then we glued them onto the cards ourselves during during CNY. I think the printing process can be done quite fast. Mine takes abt 1-2 weeks, including artwork.

yah loh...if choose those new designs...then hv to fall back on marriott designated printing company cos its a blank coloured pc of card (for new design invite card) tat they actually sent for printing together with text. for inserts, u can alwys source yr own contacts which is relatively cheaper in a way..
still cant make up my mind which one to choose
so how many pcs u printed all in all?

ya, that's how they make you print with their printer. I printed about 360-400 inserts including spares just in case last min want to invite some ppl. My husband and I glued the inserts ourselves so every card is considered made by us in a way. Haha. You havent decide which cards to choose ah? I guess depends on which design u like ba. I think the rates to print with marriott's printer is not ex.
hihi..
i have signed up wif marriott.=) may i ask wat r the rates to print wif marriott's printer ah?
my coordinator told me b4..but i din note it down..sigh. i wanna note down in my contract now in case they increase prices and i m not aware..=P
thanks!
btw..the new designs u all r talking abt, are they the colourful range, like blue type? =P

JJ ..... 3- 4 mths go food tasting is abit too early...the hotel wont allow u one...normally 2 - 2.5 mths before, yr coordinator will give u a tinkle to ask u for a date for food tasting one...so jus relax for the time being...
their service has improved alot since the 1st wedding i go as compared to the 2nd..if u had read my postings in the earlier threads...u will noe
tink u can relax first...mayb can move over to yr bridal studio preparation (choosing of WG/EG) photographer selection...
wedding dinner can hold on first...

sailormoonwt, initially I wanted to take the new designs when I first saw them but after learning that I hv to use their printer, I opt for the vineyard card instead. Actually I find them quite nice lah, very special. I hv not confirm my table numbers yet as they are still increasing. My initial confirmed number when I signed with Marriott was 30 tables. I will need to confirm with them soon.
JJ, u will need to confirm with your coordinator on the menu b4 u go for the food tasting. Basically, u will eat the whole menu that you have picked for your banquet. Your coordinator will get in touch with u when you are due to do your food tasting so dont worry. For me, I did mine in mid Jan as I want to avoid the CNY period. I think they only allow one session of food tasting on Sat and Sun.

anyone jus had yr wedding at the marriott? wat theme did u ladies hv?
sailormoonwt, so you got the vineyard cards too! I'm sure your guests will hv good comments for them. I didnt use Marriott's printer. My dad printed the inserts for me so I'm not sure how much they cost but I rem him saying Marriott's printer price is ok. For the inserts, I printed the text on cream colour paper with gold text. I bought a gold pen to write the guests' names on it as well.
I'm using Garden of Love as my theme. How about you?

My food tasting went ok leh. But I find one or two dishes too salty. Cant remember. I think it is the shark's fin. But overall my family and in-laws felt the food was quite nice. Dont worry too much. They will take note of your comments coz I noticed that our comments were indicated in our banquet order form that they want us to sign and return.
sailormoonwt, yup. I think u shd go to take a look at your shortlisted theme and see if you like it or not. It is definitely much easier to see it b4 you than to visualise yourself.

Urgently seeking couples interested in holding their banquet at Marriott on 22 July 07 (Sunday) to takover my package (many freebies tied down and thrown in ...) I am unable to go ahead with this date due to work commitment, therefore I really hope to find somebody to transfer this package over. Anyone interested at all, simply msg me at 96993929. Cheers!
Yooo... finally done with my dinner last Sat. So glad that everything went smoothly. My banquet manager in-charged was Christine and she's a nice lady who's always there to lend a helping hand. She even taught me how to hold my gown for the march-in coz both my gowns are long.
Had comments that the champage and red wine were good. My guests loved my pink WG and the songs played during the dinner. So happy to hear the positive comments coz the CDs were compiled and burnt by me.
sailormoonwt, all the best in your planning!

sailormoonwt, you have multiply account? Let me hv your ID to add you to view my photos.
My 1st march in song is "Ai Hen Jian Dan" by David Tao. 2nd song is "Liu Xing Sen Lin Yu" by Daniel Chan. Both chinese songs coz they hv special meaning to my hubby and I. I burnt 60 over songs in a few CDs to be played during my dinner too and my guest loved the songs. Maybe you can do that too.

sailormoonwt, will add u to my multiply. Looking fwd to seeing urs soon too
Going for HM next Thur. Will be going to West America. My trip with local agency didnt get confirmed coz not enough ppl so in the end we book a land tour and air tix ourselves. Really looking fwd to it coz I've nvr been to the US b4. How abt u? Where will u be going?
My theme is Garden of Love. I think it looks pretty nice. Cream and champagne colour.
burgundy, u may hv to find other printers if u wish to hv other design for ur wedding cards. As for lighting design, I suppose u r referring to the lighting effects at the ballroom on the AD? I think they hv a few colours for u to choose, like purple, pink, blue etc. On ur AD, there will be a coordination meeting whereby ur hubby will choose the colours. The coordinator will be there to offer their advice too to avoid colours clashing with ur EG.

Hey gals.. Have something upleasant to share. Marriot actually did a double booking for my dates. I wanted 19th jan 08 but thwy booked 6th jan 08 instead. & was quite upset with their attitude when I called them to sort the dates out. Later the wedding planner said they booked wrongly & some misunderstanding & got me back the date I wanted but I changed my mind in holding at Marriot due to lackof confidence in them. So ladies please double confirm our dates & make sure hv Black & White writings yah... have a great wedding..
ahhh ok
coz i also need to print separate cards for the day ceremony n want it to be a bit consistent.... thks much for sharing! hmm any idea if we can change wedding coordinator if the service is not good? my fiance said she seemed cold n unaccommodating when he called to enquire abt the programme....
Hi, Can you gals e-mail your wedding pacages details for year 2007/2008? Please send it to [email protected] Thanks!
burgundy, who is ur coordinator? Mine's Charlene and I think she's pretty friendly. I've spoken to Adrie b4 also and she's quite helpful too.
Noreen, really sorry to hear abt ur unpleasant experience. Yup, it's always better to double check and have some black and white confirmation. That's what I always do. Fortunately for me, everything at Marriott went smoothly and it was a great evening for me.
racherly, welcome to this thread. It's not so active as b4 but on and off I will still come in to chk on things
Hmm, i dont hv any pictures at the moment to share coz I juz got my CDR from my PG. I think u can view the ballroom from their website.
