Lim SK> did annabel say why she's leaving? And did she say when will she be gone?
Serene: I dunno what to order oso so dun have the intentation of going to the food tasting and need to pay for it too. You have any recommendation?
Fudgemallow: Annabel will be leaving this month end. I got a bit worried cause not sure the others will be able to handle everything. Anyway still over half a year to go for my wedding. Lets hope for the best.

Lim SK > how come you don't have free food tasting? It's part of my package given, only condition is it must be a weekday, free tasting 10 people.
Mine is Christine, maybe you can give them a call and request her to take over, she's nice.
My AD is Dec so too early for food tasting, haven't been to mine.
Maybe can ask for help to see who has gone for food taste and ask for their opinion.

I went to the wedding workshop recently and they did serve some dishes.
I think the signature dish is the roasted chicken which i find it not bad. Another dish that i sampled is the Scallop with brocolli and pine nuts which i love it.

ya quite sad that annabel is leaving. she is the main reason why i signed up with marriott.. cos we felt comfortable with her, which we think is very impt. plus flexible. sigh, i did keep asking if she will be the one handling my wedding till the end and she said she would be, sigh... this is so unexpected.
if the person taking over has so many weddings to take over, will she be able to manage? and will she have the experience? a bit worried. but what can i do?

hey girls, glad to know i'm not alone. u all feel the same way. initially felt a bit of regret at not choosing another place, but thought about it... decided not to be sad anymore... cos worrying will not really help... at the end of the day, just pray hard that our new planner will be competent lor.

Hi all,
Don't worry too much, you will still meet up your coordinator before wedding. If really don't like, there are others who can serve you too. I believe we are allow to change. Anyway once you have signed your package, the next important person is the one who run the show (Catering manager).
Anyway my coordinator is Christine, really nice and professional.
Cheers,
Serene

I agree with Serene, so fellow brides, don't worry too much
My coordinator is also Christine. She's been working there for 7 years, so she must have some experience.
Serene, who is the catering manager? Have you met him? Hmm, all this time, I have only met Christine.
Lim SK, mine is also a Jan 2011 wedding lunch! Hehe, so qiao.

Lish > Christine didn't tell me who will be the catering manager probably when ates are closer cos they have different ones.
Catering amanger is the one who run the show while Christine coordinates with us and inform them. On the day of banquet, your own wedding coordinator & groom will meet Wedding Coordinator & Catering/Banquet Manager 2 hours before the actual banquet for rehearsal of march in sings & Montage etc.
Wow I sound so experience hor? Haha cos I have been helping my friend to coordinate so many weddings.
Mine is also wedding lunch =)
We are very close, mine is 12 Dec 2010, only 1 month apart
Happy!!!

Lim SK, Serene, mine is 16 Jan.
I still have more than 6 mths to prepare, so I haven't started to gan cheong yet. Hehe, but based on the past feedback in this topic, I don't think I need to worry too much with Marriott.
Serene, based on your experiences, what do you think of my AD schedule. I'm holding everything in the hotel so transportation won't be a hassle - I have alot of relatives
11:30 - Solemnization (1/2 hours)
12:00 - Tea Ceremony (1 hour)
1:00 - Reception
1:30 - Lunch ( till 4.30)

Congrats oh!
Just continue to hope for the best will come out.
I think it's better to start the lunch at 1pm. Which means that everything to start half an hour earlier.
11am - Solemnisation
11.30am - Tea Ceremony (ask if they can give you complimentary cannapes or snacks), so that relatives would feel hungry.
1pm - lunch
Cos my friend started his at 11.30am but the banquet started almost like 1.45pm (super hungry) and because they have to clear by 4pm, it was very rush. Well, it depends on the actual day. It's difficult to calculate everything on time... many last min stuff. Eg. I wanted to start my friend's lunch at 12.30pm since 80% of guests have arrived. But parents said cannot cos one of the relatives (very impt) who is not here yet cannot start. So we start at 1pm.
My friend had his solemnisation at 7pm (no tea ceremony), dinner start 8pm sharp! Finish about 10.30pm.

Serene, thanks for the advice
flyingstar, when is your AD?
I thought of starting the solemnization earlier too, but I wanted to leave enough time for gate crashing games
Also need to buffer some time for me to freshen up at the hotel haha, otherwise my face will become oil pan.

The catering manager told not to start later than 1pm because the dishes will turn cold and that's why many people went back to complain.
This is really because when they asked the coordinator if can start early, many will say ok ok but end up start late. Esp the fish!!! I learnt that lesson in my last coordinating for friend's wedding.
He said that if stream too early, the fish doesn't taste good, they can only steam 45 min. Haha, what a knowledge I acquire.
Yeah I think the timing is fine. People tend to be late. But relatives must come early cos need to "Jin Cha" (Tea ceremony).
But once all here for tea ceremony, you timing for lunch will have better control cos all relatives reach le. Hee hee...
So your solemnisation is in the main hall or separate room?
My cousin had his tea ceremony at 12pm like you no tea ceremony from house. Started lunch sharp But he don't have solemnisation. We reached like 11.30pm but resturant not open. Hahaha...

My solemnization and tea ceremony are in the main hall. So right after the solemnization, with all my relatives present, we'll begin the tea ceremony. I guess I be wearing the Kua for both events bah.
I hope my fish won't be cold! Well, I have informed Christine about the timing, I hope the catering manager will not make us change it at the last minute. I'm glad I learnt this fish info from you

lish> my AD 7 nov.
i also going to wear kwa for both solemnisation and tea ceremony.
then after that march-in in my WG. i hope i got enuff time!!! hehe.
serene> haha good tip on the fish. no wonder the last time my parents went for luncheon wedding at marriott she complained fish cold. they started the at around 1.30pm.
i will have my tea ceremony and solemnisation at a function room, the main hall is just purely for the banquet. so there's some movement of guests to be done. will probably get the hotel people to direct them.
btw i going for the april wedding show.
finally it's on a day whereby me and bf are free.

free your tummy for the wedding show! There were loads of things to eat at the previous one
Will you be changing your makeup and hairdo for the march in? My BS told me that I will only have enough time for a touch up. There's no time to wash my hair to change the hairdo. But since I already paid for the makeup services, I must maximise the service to the fullest. Racking my brains to see how I can squeeze in more time.

Lish> haha ok! this time is on friday evening. i will rush down!! lol.
i was thinking about makeup and hairdo thingy too. dunno how long tea ceremony will take. i must start solemnisation at 11am. straight after tea ceremony. then tea ceremony may last till 12pm or 12plus. it's true, after that got no time to change makeup/hairdo already.
i will discuss with the MUA and see what she thinks ba.
