Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel

hi girls. hmm i'm quite particular about the invites. planning to get my own done if the marriott one's aren't suitable. maybe i'll email michelle to ask her to meet me soon, even though my wedding's like in march 2011. cos if i do the invites myself i need a lot of time to get it done.
 


>felix I'm planning to do once in the morning before my church matrimony at the poolside and once after the 1st march in. My MUA did suggest to do in between the matrimony and march in though.

>giraffe wah how are you planning to do that? I think it's a very personal touch. =)
 
Christine> Yeah! our AD very near, ha^^ Do you plan to let guest sign/write note on your scrap book?

Felix> Actually I only plan to use it for morning session before 接新娘 but not confirmed yet. Shall check with MUA's opinion.
 
>candysiew ya I'm thinking of doing a guest book for them to sign too. So ambitious. Dunno if I have time. Hee..I alr finished my PS. Lol.. where's ur BS?
 
Are we able to get the guest book earlier from marriott? Coz I was thinking of using theirs and DIY some of the pages before the AD event.. Are there many selections for Guestbook?
 
Christine> Great idea... My BS in JB. I have done the PS also.

Anyone see the guestbook b4? Actually my BS got give me one for free but I think Marriott one should be nicer. Ha^^
 
Confidential> Yah I think I will ask the coordinator for it when she first contact me..

Candy> I have received a guestbook from Marriott for my ROM. It was a white one (I didnt select though. It was given to me by another coordinator).. It was a thin one but as it was only for my ROM, most pages were not filled up coz I only had like 10guests and the other 10 were family? I hope they have other guest book selections.
 
confidential> buy wedding band also got free guestbook wor?! why mine dont have? ha... joking

ah faith> White one? My BS gave me a very traditional red book. Outside very traditional, red with gold line (design) and wording, inside all red blank paper. I m worry my guest book will be empty also, bcos I only hav 8tables. Ha^^ must paste many photos and make some deco.

Christine> Did you PS give u free 4R (or similar) photos? My BS gave me 150pcs (5 poses), my mum asked me why I took so many, I replied 'it is free mah'. Now dont know how to give away... Should I put inside the invitation card envelope or put at counter (beside guest book), anyone interested just take?
 
Candysiew: my wedding bands from lee hwa, maybe only lee hwa give.. idk..
I also holding 8 tables leh, the march-in very weird lo..
 
Candy> Yah it was an all white guest book. My BS din give me any guest book though. But I've seen a couple pre-ordered a guestbook with a photo on the exterior... it was shaped something like a mini photoalbum.. Not sure of how the interior looks like, probably with their wedding photos? I dont think I'll spend the additional money on the guestbook. Shall just take the Marriott's guest book and decorate it up with our own photos and designs. =)
 
confidential> You also 8tables? Legacy suite also? Ha^^Actually I like the place, more privacy. I wish I can eat more during the wedding lunch. My SIL has 42 tables to entertain, end up only have 1st and last dish (a bit).

ah Faith> Yup, I dont wish to spend extra on it too. My sister volunteered to DIY for me, ha^^ I m lazy but lucky bride.
 
confidential> I also no idea. So small scale, jsut walk ard chit chat, take photos bah?! not sure... My SIL (wife of my hubby's big bro) last time have 1st dance, couple / parent speech, live band. By the time the walk 1 round (42tables), and change 1 outfit, already last dish liao.

Any idea from u? I will feel very paiseh to speak in front, somemore mostly are my hubby's relatives.
 
>candysiew I don't have any free pics. Haha..
Hm if you put inside the invite for all, won't it be weird? Why don't you put them in your relatives' invites instead? =)

Perhaps you can get a live band to play nice music. Then give a short speech. Ask your husband to say more if you are shy.
 
confidential> Yup, I will have 2 emcee (they volunteered, ha^^) but I m not going to hire any band.

was thinking to prepare some finger food/snack while guest waiting (cocktail session). I saw some other brides hav very beautiful cupcake tower. But normally min order 100pcs, if you need tier, simple cost ard $300. My hubby doesnt wan to spend extra in this area. Maybe will try coffee bea party pack - $25 for 20pcs. 80pcs can settle at $100 + $10 delivery charge.

Christine> I guess legacy suite is too small to put live band in, unless open the door half half and they stand outside. Ha^^

Thanks for your suggestion, each relative get 5 diff poses, 30 relatives will clear all. Ha^^
 
I think only drink, I m not sure. Last time I attending a wedding lunch at MM, there is some peanut in bowl and small choco (paid by the couple, even the bowl also from them).Bcos we are relatives so we actually arr earlier. Dont know is hotel/JM arrangement, we already drink for more than 30min still not allow to go in, leg super tired (no chair/sofa)and feel bored. So I was thinking if small cuties snack may make my guest feel happier/feel their empty time/stomach 1st. One thing good is I saw sofa outside legacy room. Ha^^
 
Candy: I think there are only peanuts served by hotel during cocktail. Great idea to order in some snack cos for mine, there will be relatives there early for the tea ceremony and might be hungry... =p
 
>candysiew Haha sorry. Hee you're welcome. I think for the relatives it makes more sense to get the photos esp the closer ones.

I didn't think about anyone getting hungry. Lol...I will be having a croquembouche (cream puff tower). Mebbe if they are hungry, they can eat that. ;p
 
How much will the cream puff tower be? Is it provided by Marriott? I was looking at either the cupcake tower or chocolate fondue..
 
girls you all post really fast *lol*

christine --> ya i really wish i could make my own invites. but erm i have... 45 tables?? might just die in the process. dunno... will think abt it. trying to arrange to meet michelle to see the available designs first! i think uall so lucky... only 8 tables, u can have enough time to mingle and EAT.

anyone know how much it costs to request hotel to provide spme canapes (snacks) during the cocktail?
 
thinking of holding my wedding at marriott. but i only need 15 tables. so do they allow me to book only ballroom 3? anybody know where is the stage position in ballroom 3? how is the food? just went to hyatt camelia ballroom last week. perks ok at least they provide red carpet & dry ice. the only thing is there is pillars.
 
Cassandra> Weekend dinner then need more tables. However, you still can make enquiry to Marriott. Maybe they can do special arrangement for you?

Actually I have one qns, last time my ex-colleague hold in hyatt more than 40tables (weekend dinner)also cannot get ballroom leh?! He said is function room only. But 3 days b4 AD, Hyatt free upgrade them to ballroom as nobody is using.
 
Candy> How come so weird for ur ex-colleague's situation... I tot a wedding function of more than 40 tables is considered the biggest income for any hotel and yet still entitled to the function room? From what I understand, function room should be smaller than a ballroom. Probably the coordinator is mixed up or new in this line. Free upgrade? I think the hotel could possibly be reserving the ballroom for another wedding with more tables. Coz if I'm not wrong, Hyatt could cater to two weddings at the same time.
 
ah faith> This is what my ex-colleague told me de. His wedding card printed xxxx room at level 3, end up he notify us few day in advance changed to xxxx ballroom at level 2 (or level 2 change to level 3, I cant remember). He told me Grand Hyatt ballroom min 60 or 70tables+. He hold the wedding in Jun 2010.
 
Yah guess Hyatt was reserving the ballroom for a bigger function bah... usually for weekend wedding functions.. Like that ur ex-colleague had to incur extra cost by making calls/smses to notify the change.. >.<
Fortunately Marriott only has one ballroom so no clashes~ =)
 
>faith I just realised we have the same BS and hotel. =)

>candysiew + faith: sorry I didn't see your message earlier. I'm thinking of getting it from The Patissier at Ann Siang Rd. It's $400 for 200 cream puffs which is a little expensive. But it's cos I agreed not to have a videographer. Lol..so it's sorta like a 'compensation' from my husband. ;p
 
>giraffe ya intially I was thinking of baking my own wedding favours but gave up on the idea. Cos we might have 30 tables at the minimum.

So are you going to do your own invites in the end? =)
 
Christine> You're cute.

Actually my SIL has similar cream puff tower last time (to replace her wedding cake tiers). But it looked very cosy so I didnt check with her for details. Ha^^


Jensen> Your idea also not bad la. But among my guests only 1-2 kids are invited, the rest all our ages/elder so dont think candy floss is suitable.
 
>candysiew It's quite reasonable and less expensive than cake. Most wedding cakes are covered in fondant which is extremely sweet.

If you don't have many guests, you can try to get a cream puff tower that has only 50 puffs. It should be much cheaper. =)
 
Szesze,i saw it,vry cute.ha...well done..
Christine, just saw my sil's friend ad photo,they also bought this, very beautiful.i wonder if ppl dare to damage it or not.ha...jk
 
Hi all, need your views on something.

In short, I'm doing ROM -> Tea ceremony -> Lunch, all at Marriott.

I plan to cut the suckling pig and serve to relatives during tea ceremony. Our idea is to cut it into bite size chunks, put them on paper cupcake holders and skewer with toothpick. Never heard anyone do it before, do you think it's workable?
