Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel

wow, so many luncheon weddings! guess it's becoming more and more common already. :P

i think lunch is better la, my guests can go shopping in orchard after lunch and make use of the free carpark. hehehee!!!
 


Hi SK/Faith,

Do you mind sharing with me the lunch package?
I was told previously that the wedding show has no additional perks for wedding lunch.Did you all manage to negotitate for better perks?

My email is [email protected].

Thanks alot!
 
Hi Faith, Congrats to you too!!!

Hi Antz/Serene,
Ya, there is no perks for lunch. for me, i did not get much stuffs. Just able to get a bit more of the car park coupons/invitation cards. I also ask for a function room to hold my ROM before my lunch.
 
Hullo all,

Lunch not much perks.. not even the spa package.. but it was really nice.. the service the food the ballroom !!

my banquet manager was Stan.. a very nice guy !
 
thanks SK & Hammiebao for the information, I will be meeting up with a lady Christine. I'm deciding between Marina Mandarin & Marriott

Though we prefer Marriott, MM seems to have better stuff, hope to get more perks from both.

I don't need a function, but hope to get an additional night, don't mind a smaller room though.
 
Hi serene, my coodinator is christine too! She is really nice and helpful..

Hi Christine,

For me i did not manage to have the free flow beer. Maybe I only have 20tables... But I did ask for the helper room but subject to availability.
 
Just had my wedding dinner at Marriott. It was smooth-flowing and fantastic. The food had lots of compliments phew but there were complaints that the portions were insufficient....not sure why that happened. Will need to check with the Marriott staff.

The ballroom looks so good - very modern! i added my own floral decor and it looked perfect. will post pics when im free.

My new wedding co-ordinator is great too. Her name is Charlene Hendricks. Without her advice and help, not sure how the dinner can go so smoothly. My Banquet manager was Moe. He's very good too.....overall we are happy with the service Marriott has given us over the last few months.
 
thanks faith (muji) for the update!
I have met up with Christine too, both our parents like Marriott so I will try to push for more perks a little, only manage to get 30L of beer but that's sufficient cos most guest doesn't drink beer.
but will bring in wine since there's waiver of corkage.
but the happiest thing is i ask for extra night and i got it!
can't be too greedy so I'm happy overall...
 
Hi Serene,

Congrats too!!! Mine 30L of beer too... Nowadays not much people drink beer so should be enough... Haha!!! I didn't ask for an extra night, just get the function room... BTW, when your wedding?
 
Had my banquet on 28 Nov. Wouldn't had done it without my wedding planner, Annabel. Things wouldn't had went so well without her help in all the arrangementSSS. Thanks gal!!!

We had great fun and were well attended by the Marriot staffs. Received lots of compliments on the food too. The ballroom is simply grand....with 4 projectors. My guests could enjoy our slideshow, montage (etc.) without cranking their necks....
 
Hi dolphinny! Congrats on your wedding~ My coordinator is Annabel too and she has been very kind with all our requests. May I know who's your Banquet Manager?
 
hello! went down to marriott for a look at the ballroom. really attracted by the value-for-money package and the good service by annabel. but a bit concerned cos the ballroom looks really plain. (what do u all think?) in fact i find the marble pillars and ceiling rather ugly. my parents say no one will notice though, haha.
maybe i should sign up with them but just spend a bit more getting in an external florist to help decorate/beautify the place a bit more. anyone has done that before?
or do u gals know who is the in-house florist and tried asking them to provide more decor?

what do u all think?

and can it really fit in 55 tables, comfortably?
 
Hi Kerine, Can't remember my Banquet Manager name...let me check...anyway, he is very attentive and did his job really well.

When's you wedding?
 
Hi Dolphinny~ My wedding is in june 2010. The banquet manager I wanted has left marriott so Annabel introduced a Filipino banquet manager to us. Not sure if he's good or not. Do let me know when you find out yours. Thanks!
 
My banquet manager is Filipino too. Maybe is the same guy. Alemak!!! He was very nice to us...how can I forget his name?!?!

Anyway he was always beside us to assist and advice us. What touched me, was that he presented us with 2 glasses (with straw due to the makeup) of honey water to calm us down prior our first march in. But...maybe this is a standard practice?
 
Lim SK,

I've just manage to confirm my date on 5th Dec, wanted last week of Nov but taken up.

Cos need to confirm for my church wedding solenmisation venue @ HortPark MPH, so manage to confirm my date on 4th Dec then 5th Dec will be having lunch.

I'm meeting Christine to sign the contract, yeah finally!

Settle 1 item as a time.

By the way, does anyone has good recommendation for Bridal Package? Jan 2010 has 2 exhibition coming up...
 
Hi giraffe,

I think the marble wall is unique and nice.

With the different theme that you can use with different lightings, you won't have to worry about your evening gown not matching the theme colour

unless you have much to spare, if not it's really not necessary to spend extra on the deco cos not many pple will notice it. generally they are quite of standard.

anyone has any comment what food not to take for the banquet (Lunch)?

my dad ask if can change the fish... hai...
 
thanks serene! feel more reassured. ya my parents say no one will notice the surroundings, so i guess i no need to worry =)
so fun... i wanted my church wedding to be at Hort Park too.. but capacity wise probably not big enough, so got to find a church building instead... if not i'd love to have an outdoor wedding too! hope you have fun! =)
 
I'm having it indoor (Multi-purpose hall), cos outdoor too hot, my HTB will definitely melt.

you can check again what is the capacity they take in. but if you are looking at more than 400, then hortpark can't take in.

yup, more imptly find a nice ballroom with good food. I guess Marriott should be fine with food, haven't been to wedding there for ages.

i have so many friends who got married this year, so they are my best advisors.

the best thing about marriott is the flexible change of lighting colour (think got 7 colours), 4 themes and private cos only 1 ballroom.

55 tables will be a bit squeeze, 45-50 table should be good. I can tell you have a lot of guest.

so when's your AD?
 
alright... i have just postpone my date a week later cos hortpark no date.

Christine, the manager is very helpful and flexible, so you should be in good hands!

all the best!
 
Hi Kass,

If you are referring to Dinner, it would be 40 tables. you can try negotiating if wanna go lower, they may just take away some perks

If lunch, minimum is 18 tables.
 
Hi All,

I'm an ex-Marriot bride. My sis is getting married this yr and planning for a wedding lunch at Marriot too. I would like to check out the perks for lunch. Anyone willing to share with me yr package? Thank you.
 
Hi Annabella,

From my experience, it really depends on the no. of tables.

For me, I have committed at least 30 tables so they gave me dinner theme instead of just lunch theme.

upgrade 30L of beer, waiver of wine (though I still have to buy).

70% of printing, 30% of free parking

2 night stay instead of 1 night (I personally requested it cos this is what I really want).

I think it's give and take cos I think someone got 1 wine per table.

So ask your sister what is her priority and negotiate with Marriott.
 
hey girls, did most of you take the printing of the invitation cards? thinking of foregoing it but not sure. are the cards nice? big selection?

did anyone NOT take the printing and did it yourself? how much did that cost?
 
Hi Serene,
Thank you for your reply, we met up with my co-ordinator and have confirmed on the spot. However as my sister is in the waiting list, we'll just have to wait for the other couple reply before we know if we have secured the date.

Same as you ,my sister has commit to min 30. tables and have the dinner theme too. Which theme you plan to have? I'm a yr'08 bride, luncheon with dinner theme, I think I may still have photos of the 3 dinner themes, let me know if you need to view them.

Hi Giraffe,
I find the cards ok, I took them at my times.
But, it still depends on if you like the cards design from the hotel.
 
Hi Annabella,

so nice of you to go with your sister. when is your sis AD?

i've seen them before, is it the same as Singapore Bride's Marriott photo? but if possible u can still email me?

we like the "Bliss" theme

[email protected]

thanks a lot
