Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel

jermjerm, omg i'm getting married in Marriott exactly 1 week before you. haha. also a sunday luncheon!! :P

btw, for wine, i don't think a lot of people will drink during lunch, plus you also have beer provided, so i think actually 1 btl/table is good enough.

also, if you got a lot of wine/beer left, all the leftovers will be for your friends to sabo you and your hb with!! Coz this is exactly what happened to my cousin. haha.
 


pink_mint, my "auspicious" time for solemnization is like 11.00am...my arrangement will be even earlier!

anyway, i will do away with gatecrash...morning just speed to bf's house, do tea ceremony with his parents and grandma, and then speed to the hotel, check in, solemnise, tea ceremony with the rest of the relatives, then makan! heh.
 
thanks jermjerm.

flyingstar, ya quite true. But i think my jiemeis can't wait to sabo so the gatecrash will be on. We are thinking of doing the tea ceremony for both sides before going to the hotel. But we stay quite near each other so I guess I'll just have to bring forward the time he arrives at my place

pink_mint, good thing your htb lives near you! me and my bf is a 30 min drive 1 way...so if we want to do the "proper" procedure (he come my house, then i go his house, then we both come back my house again, then go hotel), will surely not make it for the lunch/solemnisation already.

anyway, you can also ask your parents for suggestions, see what's their preference. Most importantly is on your wedding day, don't rush up and down...it's a day to enjoy, not think about sticking to the timetable.

you must be excited...wedding is coming up soon!!

Y sob Cher? I've chatted with Casmin and she seems nice too. Did u sign up at their big wedding show? Can share what perks u get?
 
Hi Kerin - Nopes, i didnt sign up at any wedding show... hence i missed out on the perks..

Muttonsoup - some of the perks offered at the recent wedding show includes:

(1) 1 complimentary table for every 10 confirmed tables
(2) 2 bottles of wine per confirmed table

I think the above perks are really really value for money.. so u shd seriously consider and get in touch with them soon.. i believe the promotion is valid till this Sat..

Hie everyone,
I went to the wedding show too... was really tempted by the offer... so am still deciding..

So far,have shortlisted to ..Goodwood, Marriot & FourSeason..

Marriot's package is really tempting.. hope GWP is able to offer something as good....

Love the spacious ballroom at Marriot.. but LOVE GWP's Chandelier

hmm.. but the decor on the guest table at Marriot 'so so' only ....

GWP .. i'm not sure.. have to compare..

Ontop of that ..think Marriot's bridal suite should b nicer than GWP's.. they even provide an extra room for helper..

Food and service any idea?
 
can anyone share what's under the wedding show offer?
I signed up with Marriott, with Casmin a mth's back. Happy with our decision!
Flying star - i am not having any gatecrash as well cos meeting my htb at church, he is so glad about it man! FFIL thinking of ways to tekan him! he hates durian so FFIL said during tea ceremony HTB has to eat durian! hhahhahahh
 
The wedding show offer is as Cher mentioned. I choose for their service, location. The food is portioned for guests. Haven heard much negative feedback from them so far.

Most importantly it is within out budget; cos our first choice Oriental is too ex.
 
newbiewed_gal, wah, your FFIL helping you to tekan him!? so on!!

i think my SO is super glad that he don't have to kena tekan...my parents are all not for this also. so i think mine is very peaceful de. he come in and pick me up and off we go! lol.
 
btw i think the 2 wines/table is a very good deal!

usually they offer 1 wine/table only, and that's the maximum they will go. So those who are keen and have a lot of drinkers in their guests should really consider.
happy.gif
can save up on costs!
 
flying star - yes! FFIL says will help tekan! so funny, my friends are disapointed, they were relishing how they can sabo HTB. hmm, maybe can think of something else...

2 bottles of wine per table is good! at 1028++?! wow! really depends on the perks. how about the beer?
 
Hi all

I've booked Marriott for 30 Sep 2010, and here's to join the fun discussion here... will probably need lots of advice from you girls / guys...

We also checked out Swissotel/Fairmont (super disappointing) and Regent (love it) but decided on Marriott due to location :-)
 
Just to share a v pleasant experience I had with the printer which partners Marriott with...

I had a v smooth experience liasing with the printer on the artwork and details to be printed on the inserts...and all these were done via email and fax without a single call made...so we saved a trip down....and then i thot we need to pick up the inserts from the printer...what was nice was that they sent it to the hotel directly and we could pick up from conceirge....but they left out our inserts on the promised delivery date...a call was made quickly to us to tell us not to go down to the hotel and they arranged for the inserts to be sent to us to our home the next day....great service recovery here
happy.gif


I think the prices is a bit higher than other printers...but the quality of the inserts was good and wat makes a real difference is the service...
 
I'm having my wedding lunch in Nov with Marriot.. going for food tasting on 27th Sep... looking forward.. they are really nice to arrange the weekend food tasting lunch for us as I told them my parents will only be in sg during that period..

The service from Marriot is quite good till now.. hope everything will turn out great.. hee

btw, can anyone intro me a printing company for the invitation inserts ?? Thanks !!
 
hi hammiebao,

my wedding luncheon is on 27 Sep! You can drop by to check out the ballroom and all if your food tasting is done over lunch time....

i actually used the printer recommended by Marriott for the inserts....i find the quality of the printing is good and price also ok..a little bit more expensive than some other printers i think but i have a very pleasant experience dealing with them. All the artwork etc was done and confirmed via email and fax.

The printing company is Lil'Art...can check out their website at www.lil-art.com .....you wld be able to find samples of inserts and prices there...and then email them on the order.
 
Hi hammiebao,grace,jermjerm,pink_mint

I'm also thinking of marriott lunch. Understand you are going for lunch. Curious where you all arrange for your solemnization ceremony? On the stage or somewhere else?

Is it awkward to have solemnization ceremony after makan?
 
hi marcus,

we are having the solemnisation before the luncheon so Marriott will arrange for a complimentary function room for our use.
 
hi hammiebao

Im a marriott bride too!

Rest assured you are in good hands... you will get excellent service and full attention from the banquet mgr & your coordinator on your Actual Day!

Moreover, my guests enjoyed the dinner and commented their services are simply fantastic

Anyone saw the news of the chefs accepting kickbacks? Apparently Marriott Sous Chef has resigned. Will it affect our banquet?
 
hi brides to be,

we had our wedding luncheon over the weekend and wld like to let u know that the standard of the food stays! our guests and relatives complimented that the food and service were great..

our banquet manager Suresh was also fabulous! He was most reassuring and calmed our nerves each time before we marched in..we were never at a loss on what to do and wat to expect...

last but not least, our wedding coordinator Ivah has been most patient and thoughtful in the months that we have been dealing with her...

our day wld not have been so special without such gems in the Marriott banquet and sales team...so gals, don fret ya! you are in safe hands!
 
hi Grace

care to share did you go for yr food tasting? was it done over the wkday or wkend.

by when shd u confirm the menu and printing of inserts?
 
food tasting was done on fri evening for us...

menu is usually to be confirmed after food tasting....inserts ah....really depends on when you intend to give out the cards....it takes them about 7 working days to complete printing from the time u confirm the text and artwork.
 
hi doi doi,

mine is a luncheon....urs? maybe u give me ur email address?

yeah the food was great...received many compliments from our guests.
 
Hi folks...

Just had my wedding dinner on tues @ marriott too... received mostly compliments for the standard of the food... except for the fish which guests complained were too cold and apparently service staff was not attentive enough..

HOWEVER, i have to highlight that my wedding coordinator (Casmin) and our banquet coordinator for the night (Goh and Stan) were simply amazing... they really too care of our every needs and offered so much guidance & assurance... i really salute to the 3 of them for their attentiveness to the wedding couple...
happy.gif
 
hi Cher congrats on your wedding! My AD will be on a tuesday as well. Hows the turn out of your guests? Can share with me the recommended dishes too?
 
Hi Kerine,

Turnout was excellent...but me & hubby and both our parents sent out reminders to the guests la..

Most of our guests were quite punctual...except for the older folks(as usual)...

I actually took the pomfret instead of the usual garoupa..and most of my guests say that the fish was very fresh / sweet..unfortunately, it was a tad too cold..

When is ur wedding? Can i post up when i return from my honeymoon? Coz im actually at the airport now...hehe

Are u going for food tasting?
 
Grace, I was having my food tasting during ur wedding banquet.. my family did go near the reception area to peek.. haha.. congrats !!

I just had my food tasting and the service and the food are good.. just a little changes for our menu..
