Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel

[ilovepat]

Candysiew: Hi, im also holding my wedding at Marriott using the Legacy Suite as well. How is your package like and who is your wedding planner?

TIA!

 

[troides]

Christine, I'm not really sure. But based on my package, I can't consume the unopened tables on another day.

Candy, there's another room opposite Legacy. If short of tables, you might consider putting extra tables there. However, guests there won't be able to see the stage.

Jensen, are you getting confetti canons? How are they priced?

 

[candycandy001]

Confidential> Hi, I haven choose menu, only paid $2k deposit. Planner/coordinator is shishi.

Lish> I dont have stage. wuwu>.< bcos shishi said if wan a stage, can only put 6 tables. Thanks for your suggestion, I dont think will open the smaller function as it will be used for our tea ceremony and a bit weird to hold friends/ reletives sit so far away. Worse case I will invite some of my good friends to my JB banquet. Then whole Legacy give to my hubby.

 

[ilovepat]

Candysiew : my coordinator also shi shi, i have also pay 2k deposit le. My AD is on 14.01.2012. You?

 

[envisage06]

Hi Lish,

Hi

My name is Jarls from Singapore and I am an undergraduate at a Hospitality Management school in Switzerland. For my undergraduate dissertation, I am looking at the negotiation behaviour of prospective wedding couples looking to hold their wedding banquet at 5-star hotels in Singapore.

Your response is kindly appreciated and will aid in the completion of my paper.

This survey will take up 15-20 minutes of your time.

Thank you.

Is anyone using Marriott's printer for wedding invites?

 

[ilovepat]

Lish: i stil considering but the price quite reasonable..

 

[candycandy001]

confidential> My AD in Mar next yr... Haven check wedding card stuff... Hav u selected the wedding card (or only 1 type? I dont know)?

Lish> Shishi didnt contact me for wedding card printer yet. Mayb my AD too far away le.

 

[ilovepat]

Candysiew: my AD in Jan 2012. haha. got 3 types of wedding cards.. shishi got send me softcopy

 

[giraffe~]

did any of u guys bring in external florist to add on to the existing decor? any recommendations for florist? or use the hotel's one?

 

[ah_faith]

How much is the cost to print Marriott's wedding invite?
Anyone's coordinator's Christine? Mine's Christine. So far, I'd sent her an email and she did get back to me a day later. But I'm okay with that since I just requested for the blue and white color theme set up photos =) I'm very happy with the set up so far.
Confidential> U so fast gotten the 3 wedding card samples?
Giraffe> I don think I will be bringing in external florist. I heard from my friend that it's very expensive... they charge by per table's decor.. =S I think I will use the hotel's..

 

[ilovepat]

ah faith: yes i gotten em. the cost is very cheap only

 

[ah_faith]

Confidential> Are there only 3 types of wedding cards to choose from their selection? ?
Mind PM me the cost? I am considering whether to do the cards in Msia where it's cheaper...

 

[ilovepat]

ah faith:sent!

 

[ah_faith]

COnfidential> Thanks I've got the mail. Btw, the pricing does not include photo or whatever logo/symbol we want in the invites right?

 

[ilovepat]

ah faith: is only purely inserts

 

[ah_faith]

Hm... like that kinda expensive though.. But if we dont take the cards also wasted... >.<

 

[ilovepat]

ah faith: ya lo.. unless u can source for cheaper printers..

 

[ah_faith]

My friend printed hers from JB. Quite cheap. If I'm not wrong, it's $0.40 per card with photo and design of her choice. The service there was pretty good I heard. But then again, I signed up with Marriott during the workshop and printing of insert is complimentary in one of the options...

 

[candycandy001]

confidential, can I have the soft copy pls? [email protected]

ah faith> depend on wat we need la. $0.40 with full colour actually quite worth the money. If go JB, I think a lot of sg btb went city square TNT

 

[ah_faith]

Candy, Yah lor the price in jb's a gd deal. But brought my hubby to the jb shop but he don't seem interested. Coz if we do not take the cards from Marriott, very wasteful &amp; I don think we can trade that for other stuff.
Confidential: can email the soft copy to me as well? [email protected]
Thanks!

 

[troides]

wow, this thread is flying so fast. Marriott's printer is S$120 for 200 inserts, so JB's $0.40 is really good deal.

ah_faith, i asked to trade the cards and favours before, coord refused. Anyway, I love their invite designs and saved us some time too

 

[candycandy001]

ah faith> I saw other they printed insert (picture + wording + map etc) only. Outside still using the hotel hard card.

I "hinted" my hubby also, he didnt seem to be interested also. Ha... I think I most probably will half DIY + print wordings on colour/half transparent paper in normal printer shop.

 

[ah_faith]

Lish> Means we will "lugi" if we dont take their cards and favours le... So no choice .. But i think the cards they give are of good quality, meaning harder GSM paper.. So probably like what Candy said, can print just the inserts. Not sure if the Msia printer shop does that or not. If I remember correctly, they dont do just the inserts. I shall ask if I'm going in... Any idea when we can select the wedding card and favour? Like 2months or 3 months before the AD?

Will your coordinator contact you automatically ?

 

[ilovepat]

i think is 3mth before..

 

[candycandy001]

ah faith> Yup, JB printer got print insert only. n heard tat all hav std wording, we dont need to think of who father name 1st tat kind of chinese wording sequence n arrangement.

 

[ah_faith]

Candy> then means if print with Marriott, we have to come up with the sequence and arrangement of the inserts? Aiyo, I'm not sure of how this is done so will the printer shop enlighten us on this?

 

[troides]

ah faith, my wedding is in Jan, and they sent me the invite softcopy this week. So I would say, around 3 mths before AD. Which reminds me that I need to file my ROM this week

For favours, not yet.

My coord is also Christine.

 

[ah_faith]

Lish> did you get in touch with Christine first or vice versa? Your AD is on the same day as your ROM? You should quickly look for a JP too as the popular ones will be booked pretty soon. =)

 

[troides]

She emailed me first

Thanks for the reminder, my JP is Dr Phua Tan Tee. That part went without a hitch.. Phew.

 

[ah_faith]

Oh Dr. Phua is pretty popular de... My friend got him as her JP as well. =)

Hm.. Then I shall patiently wait for Christine to contact me too =D

 

[troides]

Oh ah faith, is ur AD in febuary? Next year lunar new year is on 3rd feb.

If you are going to print alot of inserts, can consider starting early cos printing houses can get pretty overloaded with new year cards.

 

[shopaholicjuan]

Hi candysiew,

my AD's in Mar 2011 too. My cood Michelle said she will only meet to discuss the invites somewhere in Dec.

=) christine

 

[candycandy001]

ah faith> I dont know marriott's printer will do it or not. ShiShi didnt contact me at all. Hopefully in dec.

Christine> Yeah! gives me five. Ha... how is your preparation?

 

[shopaholicjuan]

Hi candysiew,

I still can't decide which theme I want. Lol..I like the blue and white decor but it clashes with the ballroom's red carpet. Plus I might be having a fuschia pink WG. Anyway 2 more mths to think.

Mine's a matrimony at the poolside and wedding lunch though. So no video at all.

How about your prep?

 

[ilovepat]

hey ladies

I will be having champagne gold theme! =)

 

[candycandy001]

christine> I nv think of theme leh? but I like white + blue/purple. it is better to see picture b4 deciding...

confidential> champagne gold is great. mayb i can consider. it is very nice match with red carpet also.

i guess will decide after i select my AD gown bah..

 

[ilovepat]

Candysiew: yup!

 

[candycandy001]

confidential> Thanks for your soft copy of the card. Quite nice actually. Do you think will change pattern (my AD is in Mar 2011)?

 

[ilovepat]
