Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel


Mine is 16 Jan 2011. So far i haven't got in touch with her, guess it's still early for that.

My estimate is 3 months before AD to discuss the invitations, favours and setup bah.
 
Ooo.. I was told of that too... I heard they are coming up with a series of new theme soon! Hehe!

Do you have a theme for ur AD? I was planning to have a blue & white theme! =)
 
Wow, blue and white sounds dreamy.. I haven't given any thought on themes yet. Mine is a intimate wedding lunch, so I was told my themes are limited.

But nevermind, I can always spruce things up myself

Shishi (coordinator) told me 3 months before AD then she will call me up to discuss the invitations, favours and setup etc. I am Mar2011 btb.

kerine--> jiayou!
 
hi girls!
i just got hitched at marriott last week! took me almost a week to recover. damn tired.
anyway, marriott is AWESOME!
christine's my coordinator and leong was my banquet manager. My husband and I only have great reviews for them. They went all the way out and we really felt very loved by them. Honestly by the time dinner started, I was extremely tired and they were there at every step, even after everything was done. Leong personally escorted my guests to Bar None for the afterparty! He didnt have to do that but he did. He even consolidated all the wine, favors EVERYTHING that we brough, laptop, CD etc and sent it up to our room after. Always a big smile.
Christine always had the time to entertain us, even when we requested and asked the darnest questions. She never made us feel stupid or if we're wasting her time. Kudos to her!
The food was great! Everyone complimented on the food except the Muslim food (we had 2 tables) and they didnt really like that but everything else first class! let me know if you guys have any questions! ill do my best to answer but picking mariott as my hotel is def the right thing!
woo!
 
newbiewed> Wow I'm so glad to hear that your wedding @ Marriott went so well! Congrats once again! I am definitely assured and looking forward to having my own dinner @ marriott too! Still long way to go though! Btw, did you have 2 night stay in the bridal suite in your package? Is it possible to just have a night stay there while the 2nd night to be used on anniversary or later date?
 
newbiewed > congrats to you!!!
thanks for sharing the experience with us, it's really quite quiet here, hope more brides can share their lovely experience.

I am a Dec Marriott bride too.

My coordinator is Christine too, we have very good feeling about when we first met up with her.

Indeed it is a good choice to be with Marriott.
 
Hi newbiewed_gal , congrats!! So good to hear about the good service and great experiences at Marriott. Do you have any advice for BTB like me as we have also selected Marriott to hold our dinner banquet next year?

I have met up with Shi Shi earlier in June. She seems nice and friendly. Does anyone has her wedding banquet organized by Shi Shi?
 
I've finally completed my wedding last week! SO & I are very glad everything is over and there are many people we wanna thank.

Our initial wedding planners Annabel & Charlene were very lovely and helped greatly to kick-start our banquet preparation. Michelle, who took over later, was efficient and would try her very best to accommodate our requests. At the last stage with all the stress and frustrations, she was still very patient and managed to calm the bridezilla in me.

For the banquet, there were many praises for the 1st dish, roasted chicken, fish & mango pudding. We were happy too that our guests found the food portion big and satisfying.

Jerome, the Banquet Manager, was the best we could have. He is very experienced and guided us smoothly through the entire dinner as if it was his own. Love the thoughtful honey-water prepared~ He also asked for lovely MoMo to assist with my gown throughout the phototaking session!

Kudos to the wedding & banquet team as my SO & I cannot imagine how our banquet would have turn out if we had held it at another place!

The only gripe we had was during check-in from the moment our car enter the parking lot to our check-in at the junior suite. The 'warm & friendly welcome' of the valet parking attendant and the front desk were almost non-existent...
 
hi everyone, i clicked on the link to the upcoming wedding workshop in july. i saw a pic of a blue and white wedding theme? is it new? looks nice! but i won't be going down cos i have already signed up and gone for 2 wedding workshops at marriott! anyone going down can help take some pics and upload? hehe. thanks!

kerine and newbiewed > congrats to you gals! and thanks for posting your feedback here. it's a great encouragement to us nervous gals whose turn has yet to come. glad to know we made the right choice! =)

so just to check, after we sign up the wedding package, they will contact us when it's time to start getting busy right? cos i signed up in jan... now is the slacking period for me. haha. i hope they'll remind me when it's time to start doing stuff.
 
Giraffe> Hello! I also attended 2 workshops @ marriott! Only signed up with Marriott during the 2nd workshop! Hehehe! Btw, I heard that the blue and white wedding theme is definitely new.. If i remember correctly, they have white pots with blue flowers/plants for decor! It'll really complement my wedding theme coz it's blue and white as well! Haven visit Marriott yet coz my AD is next yr still.. hehe!

I heard that the coordinator will contact u 3 months before ur AD. If ur coordinator has not done so, perhaps u should give them a buzz? They may probably be occupied with the wedding workshop and stuff! =)

Btw, anyone knows if Marriott has any nice greeneries or background for PS? Tot of something diff as my ROM was held last yr in Marriott too. =)

Kerine> So glad to hear ur wedding went so smoothly! Congratulations btw! =)
 
hi ah faith! my AD also far away la. march 2011. haha. i'm just kan cheong. i went for 2 wedding workshops AFTER signing up lor. haha. i'm crazy. not intending to go for anymore though. blue and white sounds nice! but hoping they dun mind customising for me.. i might want purple and white instead. to match with my gowns.
 
Wah ur AD later than me! hehe mine is in feb 2011.. lol u more gan jiong than me! I have lots of questions to ask my coordinator but still quite some time away from my AD so i have to wait... Besides, i'm in the midst of DIY my AP box & table numbers. =)

I believe they do have white & purple. I heard they're doing a white & purple wedding this month.
 
white & purple wedding? Wow! should be very nice. I wan too...

I am Mar2011 btb also but havent selected gowns, so dont know whether it will match or not.
 
Lol Candy! See u here again! U should select ur theme first. Then let ur BS know of ur theme and they can advise u accordingly. =)
 
ah faith --> wahhhhh u doing your AP box already.... hee, u also kan cheong lar. hahaha. but good to start early! i also feel like starting now!! lol. =)
 
hi all BTBs,

Just curious... As Marriott have many couples doing lunch, may i know what montages did you all prepare for your start of banquet and 2nd walk in?

Did anyone use the morning highlights during your 2nd walk in? Understand that it is possible, but it seems too rush.

Other than that, any other possibilities for 2nd walk in?
 
Giraffe> Hahaha I am super kiasu de... Just that hopefully when date's nearer, i need not worry abt such things le.. Coz there'll be more things to take care of by then.. Think the bridezilla in me is creeping in hahaha!

Lim SK> Aiyo, I am having dinner de so cant help u on that... >.<
 
Lim sk, I'm having wedding lunch.

My first march in will consist of the childhood and how-we-met montages.

I don't think I'll have morning highlights, as my schedule is packed, I don't think PG has any time to spare.

For 2nd walk in, I might show the pre-recorded wishes from our relatives and friends. Just an idea though.

Btw, if I DIY my own montages, is Marriott strict on the COMPASS licence thing?
 
Lish,

Thanks. My 1st march in will be childhood montage. Quite standard, i think...

As for 2nd walk in, my VG say is possible to have the morning highlights, but he need to go off at 10.30am. Need ~4 hrs to prepare the video, just nice to show on 2nd march in around 2.30pm.

When i think of that, seems like too rush and not much things to show. so we abort the idea.

So now we are still thinking wat to show for 2nd march in. We also think of frens and relatives wishes. Just afraid to dull...

As for the licence thing, really troublesome. Have to ask our coordinater.

Lish, are you still sticking with ur below schedule? (get from earlier post)
11:30 - Solemnization (1/2 hours)
12:00 - Tea Ceremony (1 hour)
1:00 - Reception
1:30 - Lunch ( till 4.30)

Mine AD is one week after yours. 23 Jan 2011

Hello all,

wow, there's blue and white theme? sounds fresh! hee, i haven't been to any of their workshop, we simply love the ballroom and sign with them!

Hope to hear more from those going this weekend.
 
Seems like everyone is excited abt the blue &amp; white theme. we had it for our banquet, specially customised by Michelle &amp; team. Our guests loved it!
 
Morning! Yah i'm also interested in the white &amp; blue theme too! Like Serene, I love the ballroom as well coz there's unrestricted view of the stage and the lightings that's changeable!

Kerine> Can I ask u if the favors offered by Marriott has a great variety? Usually, is there a cost price of the favor that u can select from? Are there price categories to the types of favors we can choose? If we want a better favor, do you know roughly how much we have to top up? Aiyo, i dono whether u understand me or not coz I think i sounded very confusing! Lol
 
wow kerine, they created the theme for you? ^_^
can share your photos of the ballroom?

anyone going for the workshop, can take photos?
 
lim sk, 23 Jan is a hot hot hot date. I know a few brides from the Jan 2011 thread with their AD on that day.

I might bring forward my schedule 1/2 hr earlier so that lunch starts at 1PM. Have you decided yours?

07:00 - Makeup
09:00 - Gate crash
10:30 - Reach hotel for preparation (1/2 hours)
11:00 - Solemnization (1/2 hours)
11:30 - Tea Ceremony (1 hour)
12:30 - Reception (1/2 hours)
1:00 - Lunch ( till 4.30)
 
Yupz, will be going to the workshop later. I can't wait to meet up with Shi Shi again later. She's a really friendly and nice wedding planner. In fact, I look forward to the upcoming preparations at Marriott.
happy.gif
 
ah_faith (ah_faith)> but ShiShi said normally will contact me again for details, wedding cards, wedding favour etc 3mth b4 the AD, which is ard Jan 2011. I havent talked to my BS regarding the AD gowns yet, but should do it ard Jan also (my AD is in Mar2011)... will it be too late?

I am doing lunch, dont wan it to be too formal.. maybe change to a short gown when sending off my guest. Hee^^
 
Lish,

Have not really confirm on the timing. But more or less similar as yours. Hope to start solemnization at 11am also.

Are you doing tea ceremony for both families in the hotel?
Then your solemnization will be in function room too? Together with your tea ceremony...
 
ah_faith > mine is a weekday wedding so there are only certain variety of favours available for selection. If there's a favour u like that is out of the selection, they can help enquire with the vendor for the top-up amount. One of the good thing about Marriott is we could do a mix &amp; match so not all guests gets the same favour~

* (giraffe~) > Is the workshop over already? sure~ If u haven already seen it, I'll be glad to share. Can give me your email?
 
Lim SK (s_k) >For the 1st march in we played our Pre-Wedding slideshow. It was a hit; our guests enjoyed the slideshow as we did not have any Pre-Wedding album. For the 2nd march in we then had the morning highlights. HTHs~
 
Candy> Yah I heard the coordinator will contact the couple 3 months before their AD. Mine's in Feb so probably will hear from them in Nov this yr. For ur AD gown, U can ask ur BS when they will be expecting new gown arrivals. If the gown arrival coincide ard early 2011, then u can ask if they allow u to choose by then =) My BS said they will allow a 3rd consultation (to select AD gowns) if the 2nd consultation is still long way before the AD. =D A short gown sounds sexy!~ But I dont have nice legs so dont think will opt for that haha! If u have it, flaunt it! Short gown sounds unique too!

Kerine> I didnt realize there's different varieties for weekday and weekend favor selections.. Hm... Any idea who is the vendor though? Probably can go check out its website to see see look look! How many types of favors can we select?
 
lim sk, I'm taking 1/3 of the ballroom for solemnization and tea ceremony. The 2/3 ballroom will be for lunch. I haven't decided if I want to partition the ballroom or leave it open. It's good they have a movable stage, gives us more ways to arrange our tables. Are you doing the solemnization in the function room or pool?

kerine, any photos to share
happy.gif
I'd love to see them.

candy, how many sets of dresses do you have? haha short dress sounds intriguing.
 
Lish> I haven chosen the AD gown. I will have total 1WG + 2 EG + 1tea dress. The BS said cannot change if I wan.

Is there any function room at your ballroom area? My tea ceremony will be inside another smaller function room (beside the room for lunch).
 
candy, U know the ballroom where the wedding workshops are held? They can pull out the partition to segment the ballroom.

I don't have much tables, but it exceeded 10, So we can't hold it in the function room. We were at the wedding workshop, so my htb cheekily asked if we can have the ballroom and.. surpise.. They let us have that after we topped up an amount.
 
Lish,

We are doing our solemnization and tea ceremony in function room. Never thought of doing it in the ballroom
happy.gif
 
hi kerine! thanks for the offer! my email is [email protected]. thanks in advance =) =)

ah faith, is your BS the aisle? i just attended a fren's wedding, and her BS is the aisle. her makeup, accessories and hairdo were really nice!
 
Just visited Marriott for a site inspection with ShiShi as my wedding planner... she totally blew me away!

Shishi was super flexible and accomodating, patient with my numerous requests and enquiry. I highly recommend her =)
 
Giraffe> My BS is the aisle~ =) Hehehe what abt urs? I had my ROM at Marriott too and was overall very satisfied w my BS' services and Marriott's. I had my ROM at the Wan Hao restaurant in a private room. =) ANy one had their ROM there too?

Jensen> That's so nice to hear abt ur experience. Btw, when u say site inspection, where did you visit?

Anyone knows if Marriott has any big big piano anywhere?
 
Jensen> U din attend the wedding show @ Marriott? Coz we also do get to view these during the wedding show. Btw, there's two diff types of bridal suite and we realized that coz we attended two wedding show! But more or less they are the same but there's a small wardrobe hidden behind the bed in one of the suites.
 
giraffe> you should request to see the rooms.. So far, my hubby likes everything abt Marriott except the suite (though not say don like but find it satisfactory only) =X Coz the "living room" toilet dont have shower facility and my hubby say no one will want to use the bridal suite's toilet other than the couple de... So I have no idea on how to plan for my bros and jiemeis to take their showers during the afternoon session.. Though there's a helper's room, i have in total 12 bros/jiemeis.. Then still have my PIL and my parents... Is there any other ways to fit them in other than booking additional rooms? >.< Cause I believe my bros/ jiemeis need to rest and shower when they reach the hotel too...
 
hello all...i'm a marriott bride too.
happy.gif
surprised to find the thread so active recently. hehe.

Lish, my schedule and yours is exactly the same. will ROM at 11am and do the tea ceremony right after and then lunch! when is your AD?

to all brides...if you want to start the banquet part of your preparations earlier, do not hesitate to approach your wedding planner. because while waiting for time to pass you can start envisioning the wedding itself and planning the AD schedule.
happy.gif
that's what i did becoz i feel very free. haha.

ah_faith, they have a lot of favours to choose, weekday wedding a bit lesser then weekend wedding a bit more. don't worry...they have plenty of favours to choose de. the supplier is stated as one of their wedding partners on the last page of their package - i cannot remember the name.

i suggest all btbs who have not attended their wedding workshop to do so - you can check out the wedding favours with their vendors. they will definitely be there.
 
Hi Ah Faith, i din attend the wedding workshop by Marriott, as Shishi told me that there will be no additional perks as i will be taking lunch instead of dinner.
 


Think got only 1 main vendor. I go home chk le let u knw.
The favours got shot glass, chopstick, playing cards, salt n pepper shaker. Special is playing cards. Very cute and got love story de.

Another one is a rubber sheet, which u can use to wrap the hot plate with so that u won't burn your hands. It's like an oven glove. Quite special also..

I think there's also a letter opener in a shape of a dove too.

These are the few i can remember...
