hi ladies
think it's safer to check with Marriott local sales office abt the rewards card and the credit card is only for US resident.
Have also booked Alan. He is actually the photography who I've been looking for.. he was also the one who did my sis wedding 2 yrs back! The pics were sharp and nice.

Hi girlz
actually I also prefer the oriental theme.. anyway, you can "mix & match".. I dun like the "metal gates" along the aisle so I will remove that and instead use the normal flower stands..

hi all
I'm new to this thread!
I signed up with Marriott. My wedding will be Nov this yr.
marriott was the first hotel i spoke to, we din even ask anything, so persuaded by them & also like the place alot so we just signed up .. but looking at this forum .. initially thot i would be able to persuade them to waive the corkage charges for the wine that i bring in
Would anybody be able to advise what are the corkage charges if i will to bring the wine ourselves? aiyoh, i din even ask for any perks so would i still be able to negotiate for car park coupons ..
appreciate yr advise!!
many thanks!

hi adidas,
may i know which day of the week you booked for your banquet? b'coz we have got diff. perks according to diff. day (mon-thu, fri, sat&sun) have you signed the confirmation? do not sign before you have negotiated everything you want, once you have signed the dotted line, they will keep telling you "sorry, can't help".
but don't worry about car park coupons and invitation cards, surely can get more from them.
i think it is $20/bottle. it is more worth it if you take the in-house red wine which costs ard $25.4/bottle (waived corkage).

hi lemoncake
it's a wed.
we already signed the contract without indicating what we wanted even for the invitation cards & car park coupons .. sigh ... we were so engrossed that it din occur to our mind to negotiate for such things
oic, thanks!
do you know if they allow us to return the wine if we have excess?

Hi pinkdot,
can mix and match their theme meh?? i also dun like the gates along the way...but i dislike the one that oriental theme uses for the stage...wondering whether i can exchange that for the wineyard affair stage setup...think angela very scared of me liao..i'm too fickle minded liao... hahaha...
adidas, the min order is 12 bottles initially. after that they only charge u for the no. of bottles consumed. dun worry abt those things, talk to ur coordinator..think they are quite flexible in those standard freebies...
gals, if u all intend to bring in ur own wine, can try to negiotiate for a one-off corkage charge, that's wat i did lah...and it's cheaper. And also we prefer to get our own wine becos of quality, i've never heard of marriott's wine lor...maybe i too "sua koo" liao.. ;p
june, there's only 2 themes...oriental and vineyard affair.

Hi girlz, i am also very interested in knowing about the 1-off corkage charge. Can email it to me at [email protected]? When u say that for first 12 bottles...What does it mean? I am most concern about the beer and wine corkage charges. THink these 2 can reach a few $Ks liao. Any idea if we can negotiate free flow of beer? I have been to view the actual settings of the ballroom...do u think that the stage is kind of 'off-centre'? more tables on the right than the left.
Hi Girlz,
I have not received yr e-mail.
Can u let me know. Thanks

hi adidas,
yes, you need to top up $ if u want to change to other stuff. my coordinator show me a wedding bell for $1 or $1.20.. but there's only one design.. (i din choose that cos i saw cuter designs before, maybe i too fussy! hee..) in the end, i decided to do my own favours, keychains with round coloured bead alternate with round clear crystal..
hope my guests will like it.

Hi,
Me too getting married in 1st Q2005. Heard abt the early bird discount for Marriot ending 31 May.
Anybody sign up during this period?
Scared if I go negotiate now, they will not barge when i do so as timing very tight.
Heard abt Marriot lowing their rates before, can tell me more abt it? dunno should rush into this early thingy.
Thanks...

Hi all,
Im tinking of signing on with Marriott too for my wedding in 2005..so their early bird package extended to 31 May? Thot it ended on 1 May..
Im actually tinking of having my wedding on a wkday cos i cant meet their minimun of 40tables on a wkend..just want to ask wkday brides who had their wedding in marriott, did you go for 8 course or 9 course dinner?
Also, what other perks should I look out for?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

Hi Peek-a-boo
I have opted for the 8 course weekday package as it is more worth it. I find paying $50 more per table for another additional dish a bit expensive since all other dishes remains the same as we can swop the dishes between the 8 course and 9 course package.
Juz my opinion!
Perks to negotiate include increase to 10 person food tasting, more carpark coupons, and more printing cards and if possible, free flow of beers!
Hope the above helps!

Hi Eternity...can i check with you, since u took the weekday package, will ur customary, team ceremony and stuffs be on the same day? or are u doing it the weekend before? the date i am targeting is a weekday, but my PILs don quite like weekday...cos relatives will have to take leave and this and that for the tea ceremony...need some opnions
thxs
Hi Peek-a-boo
I didn't negotiate for an additional nite cos i think i would be more happy to go back to my love nest the next day wf hubby...
Hi Bugbear
Yup, all the customs such as tea ceremony will be on that day. Both my parent and I are not particular abt that.. those who can take leave to be here in the daytime for the tea ceremony will be good, if not, it is okie to us. Moreover, most auntie who are housewife can represent heself and her husband. That is what my mum do when my cousin got married. My mum drank the tea on behalf of my father too! hehehe

Hi Bugbear
My wedding is on the weekday Mon, and my tea ceremony is on the day before, Sun. This way, relatives who work can attend the tea ceremony as well.. most importantly, everyone can mingle longer during the tea ceremony and not rushing off to prepare themselves for our dinner..

hi all,
I have signed up with marriot, though i negotiated for free corkage charges, it never come true. Can someone forward me the information on the waiver of the corkage charges for wine please? My banquet is on weekday and email is at [email protected]. Many thanks in advance.

Hi sunkiss and to all who asked about corkage charges,
my dinner is on a monday and they refused to waive corkage but imposed a flat rate corkage charge of $250+++ for 24 bottles of duty-paid wine, if I remember correctly. But if we choose to purchase, then the cheapest wine is at $25+++ per bottle...
And hi peek-a-boo,
we tried to negotiate for extra nite's stay but they said this will be subject to rm availabilty, but this is stated in my contract.

Nevertheless, i will checking eveything out with a friend who has attended a dinner there last week... Will update you all again!

hi eternity, niu niu, Bugbear,
thanks for checking ... do update us

hi angela,
u can contact them at 68314761. ask for angela.

hi all who had their customary on sunday but banquet on monday,
does it matter that monday is not a good day for wedding but sunday (the day that customary was held) is an auspicious day?
im tinking of having my customary (tea ceremony) on a sunday which is auspicious, but the banquet on the following monday which is not auspicious..does it matter or wats impt is the customary date?
Kindly advise. Thanks!

peek-a-boo...i think it's alright if the monday is not auspicious for wedding...cos the most important is the day when ur FH fetch u to his house, etc...that's the moment where ppl need to calculate and stuffs...but u might want to double confirm with the geomancer or some older folks about it
I am also thinking of doing it sun, mon...banquet much cheaper and more perks...and not so crowded...i think guests list should be fine...sometimes it's easier for guests to come straight after work...anyway, i have attended quite a few weekday dinners...so far the attendance is good...

Hi adeline,
my carpark is at 20%, no increase cos apparently marriott does not own the building so they can't do much abt carpark...
For invitations I got 70%.
I'm a 2005 bride so I haven't decided on the theme yet... But if we want anything more than is provided in the them package, then we must top up and this depends on how elaborate we want the decor to be. Must talk to June Florist or your own florist abt this.
Hi peek-a-boo,
if you want more perks, then it's better to wait till the next wedding fair like wat niu niu said.
For me I booked the early bird package cos my monday is a public holiday and I wanted to be sure I get that date! (kiasu mah... =p Hee...)
And I think the date of the dinner doesn't matter, it's more the customary day that matters.
Personally, my bf and I picked the date cos it's public hol, so pp can come for both church and dinner on the same day (of course, wedding dinner also costs less!) Plus my bf likes the numbers of the date...
