Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel

Lish/confidential> cut the suckling pig on AD? I nv heard of this. I thought in tradition, groom will give suckling pig when bring bride 'hui niang jia' few days after the AD? Anyway, i think this arrangement will make elderly very happy...
 


Christine> The Patissier website stated that the cakes can only be sold to members. Did you sign up as a member? Do they sell to the public? >.<
 
confidential, great! I thought I was the only one cramming everything before lunch. Have you planned the timings?


candysiew, that's how it's done in the old days to prove the bride's purity and show that the in-laws are pleased with the bride

Christine> I'd phone in and they said if you are to order either wedding cake or Occasion cake, you can phone in to place an order. For other cakes, a non-member can place an order online in the tab "Flavours". The lady on the phone sounded very friendly though =)
 
Candysiew, haha quite diffcult to smuggle through. I heard the aroma lingers in the car for a few days.

My tables do not come with wine. Anyone sourcing from outside? Marriott's wine are so very ex.
 
Lish &amp; Confidential, i'm doing the exact same sequence as u both.

hi all...

wedding over last sun.

great experience with marriott for the whole wedding. my co-ordinator is shi shi too. she's superb man!

the banquet co-ordinator was super steady...he knows his stuff...and take note of our needs and everything. lol. kept telling us to relax, take a deep breath, tell us how to hold hands to walk properly...before march-in, serve warm water, during banquet, serve us honey water. so sweet can. hehe.
happy.gif


really enjoyed my wedding!!!

oh, and for wine mansion...they delivered as promised...so no big surprises there. we didn't use up the consignment wine so we returned on the next day after the wedding. but they allow you up to 1 week to return the wine.

i'm very happy with my experience at marriott! everything went smoothly with no hiccups.

Congrats flyingstar! Thanks for sharing your awesome experience with us. If you don't mind, please share with me some of your pics. Now i am really certain i will go with Marriott!

One thing that is hard for me becos i am working overseas, so i am relying mostly on the forum here and communicating with the coordinator via emails. My coordinator is Michelle. She seems nice and helpful.
 
flyingstar, congrats! can you share who's your banquet co-od? My AD is 2 months away, dunno who's assigned.

Enjoy your honeymoon, u deserve a good rest. If you don't mind, can share your schedule with me? My email is [email protected].
 
confidential, i hold 30 tables. but 1 was reserved and we didn't use that. so paid for 29 tables.
happy.gif

pics are not yet uploaded (coz i've been busy hehe) but will post on fb when i am free. if you would like to see, can add me: [email protected]

pieceless, you booked with marriott yet?
happy.gif
i think all the wedding planners at marriott are very professional and they do make the effort to respond to emails fast. in fact, i emailed my wedding planner at 12 midnite...she replied my email at 2am!?!?! lol! coz she says she's on leave the next day and she saw my email, so she quickly replied my email too.

Lish, yours is wedding lunch + solemnisation + tea ceremony right? ok ok i will find my schedule and email it to u.
happy.gif
in fact, everything was pull forward. was supposed to start 1st march-in at 1.15-1.30, but at 12.50 all the guests were already in the ballroom and by 1.00pm i march-in already. LOL. my guests were almost all punctual.

and for banquet co-ord, i didn't meet him till that day itself. but my wedding planner was there so it was not a problem. he will be the one telling u where to stand on stage, when to cut cake, how to pop champagne, etc. mine was a nice guy called Jerome.

candysiew, i'm sure you will have a good experience with marriott too! they have certainly exceeded beyond me and hubby's expectations.
happy.gif
 
flyingstar (flyingstar) > I also something similar, tea ceremony + lunch... can share your schedule with me? [email protected] Thanks.

One qn, do you have pro for not enough cup for tea ceremony? or need to wash? We bring our own cup or hotel will provide?
 
flyingstar > No, i haven't book yet, but michelle made a tentative booking for me. I am doing solemnization + 8 course lunch, not sure about tea ceremony thou.. i only have 6 tables for now. 3 tables for family and close relatives and 3 tables for close friends. I am coming back to SG in dec, so i can go check out Legacy Suite, that's what michelle arranged for my wedding lunch there and solemnization at pool terrace. But pool terrace and legacy suite are in different level, not sure will it be troublesome to move my guests around. Still thinking...
 
Hi flyingstar, congrats! Glad that everything went well ;) did u bring any hard liquor in? Are they very particular that they are non-duty free (ie. Non-dfs)? Txs! Btw pls share w me ur schedule too! [email protected]
 
candysiew, marriott has their own Teaset also. i think i did take a pic of it before to post in my fb. it's really very traditional looking.

the hotel will prepare the red dates tea, wash the teacups, serve the teacups to u and ur hubby during the tea ceremony. so no worries there.

pieceless, i guess poolside is a nice place for ROM, my friend did his there too!
happy.gif
anyway if ur guests are all mobile there shld not be a problem to move them around. the hotel ppl will usher them.

felix, Thanks.
happy.gif
i didn't serve hard liquor but my xiong di brought 1 bottle in to make my hubby drunk. lol. anyway dfs hard liquor is very obvious becoz of the 1Liter limitation. they did mention not to bring dfs alcohol to us also.
 
Candysiew > What theme did you choose?

Flyingstar > Thanks for the info. Glad to know the hotel ppl will help usher my guests. Cos i think i may only have my sis to help me arranging the guests seating and ang pow collecting, i won't have emcee too. Since it's so small, i think i'll get to mingle around, photo taking and eat too.

I think i am booking everything so way ahead cos my ROM and wedding lunch is on 2 Oct 2011.. haha... Just confirmed with Dr Phua for my solemnization. Need to confirm the photographer and hotel, then i can relax and slowly think of my gown.
 
pieceless, for the ROM ceremony, not really need an emcee. coz ppl will automatically sit down when the hotel ppl ask them to.

for seating right, just arrange urs and ur hubby families to be seated at the first row, the rest of the area can be seated according to the guests preference. that will leave ur sis to handle the angbao and other matters.

i hope this info helps!
 
flyingstar> So lovely...

Poolside is cool, so romantic. Need to top up? I have done my ROM, no chance le.

pieceless (pieceless) > I haven chosen theme, I think something simple bah... Hope can do AD gown fitting 1st b4 I can decide the theme. Imaging I choose a red EG but blue theme, maybe a bit weird?
 
flyingstar, so nice of marriott to prepare the tea ceremony. I'll ask my co-od about that too.

pieceless, confidential, my JP is Dr Phua too!
 
flyingstar > After hearing from you, i feel less stress le. Thanks!

confidential and lish > I read from the forum and spoken to one of the bride who had him too. He is humorous, friendly and bilingual. He reply email real fast and very efficient. I just received his consent letter, even thou my AD is on Oct 2011. ;)

candysiew > I've emailed Michelle asking her what are the theme i can choose from, even thou there may not have many choices for lunch wedding. Have yet to receive her reply. I think i will get short dress gown, still browsing through web for inspiration and most likely will tailor made since i am working in shanghai now, there are fabric market here to make all kinds of clothing. I also came across some online shopping for gowns, i can send you the links if you wanna. Poolside is romantic la, but afraid of rain or too hot. My htb is from hk, and his mum just moved back to tw cos her health hasn't been well, afraid SG might be too hot for her to handle. See how it goes.. There are extra cost for pool terrace venue with solemnization table/chair set up, carpark coupon for 8 guests and guests signature book. Still trying to negotiate with co-ord since all those carpark coupon and guests sign book are also included in the lunch package le.
 
hi ppl,

Does anyone have recommendations for the floral/ stand/ wedding decorations?

Looking to add-on to the standard floral arrangements provided by the hotel.
 
candysiew > Yes i am working in shanghai for almost 2 years le.
Love your gown! Very nice! I am checking out the site as well, maybe i can find something i like.

I already have a lot of references of different parts that i like and it's kinda piecing them together, afraid the tailor may get confused, and the past experience told me, the tailor here are not very creative, so something simple and straightforward will get happy result, CS is the best here for sure.
 
Candysiew > I've checked out the site, the price are reasonable. The CS looks nice too.

A question for everyone. Did you receive emails from photographers and videographers sending you their quote without you approaching them? I've received at least 10 emails...
 

Forget to udpate, I bought CS from dhgate for my mum le. Very reasonable price (but not MTM, is by size one... she tried similar design in a CS boutique b4, size should be ok. She said so cheap, buy liao cannot wear then go for alteration lo, aiyo, not her $ mah! >.<). Will udpate again once I received.
