Hi rokko and wedding9999,
welcome to the fullerton thread!
i've already booked with Fullerton since quite some time ago. i've just called my coordinator to ask if i should still go to the show in case there're any perks that they are offering. she's quite secretive and said that nothing is finalised yet. and in any case, those who have already confirmed will not be entitled to anything they might be offering
sorry, not much help here.....

hi rokko
i had great fun at my wedding in fullerton! ambience was great, decor was nice, service was good and food was great too! I'm very glad i chose fullerton
i've juz attended a weekday wedding at marriot, but no hagen daz ice-cream leh...
if u ask me, service and food at fullerton was much better (not trying to be sour grape, juz sincere comments). Unless the price is much better, go for fullerton!

poox, cld i ask u one more thing? u had tables of 11 right? how did they charge for tables of 11? is it still by per table basis or do they charge extra for that one pax at the table? a bit blur leh...
btw im also v drawn by what has been said abt the loft suite... altho i haven't seen it (except on their website) but i do believe it looks great!!
u'll be surprised! i think fullerton actually cheaper than marriott leh! becos we're more interested in marriott's higher priced menu (with the haagen daz ice-cream)... but i think at the end most prob go with fullerton, cos i've always liked the whole ambience there!!!

Hi Poox,
If u hv tables that hv 11 seats instead of 10 seats, Fullerton charge extra ? I thought it's ok to hv 11 seaters since already pay the price for the whole table ? Besides, sometimes the 11 seaters is for maids or children wat, so unfair to pay extra.
Hi rokko, I thought marriot cheaper than Fullerton becos theirs is nett price while Fullerton is +++ ? My research shows Marriot is cheaper......;p

poox: so where did u go for your honeymoon?? i think im so looking forward to the honeymoon!!! more becos i forsee myself being v busy a few mths before the wedding (planning the wedding, working and becos im studying part-time too), it wld be so nice to just get away on a romantic honeymoon!!! hehee
hmm yah hor mebbe we cld still serve haagen daz for dessert at fullerton... but dunno whether they have the freezer storage to keep all the haagen daz first... hmm gotta ask... ;p im just such an ice-cream person, wld love to serve ice-cream for dessert!!!
wedding9999: hehee we both did research! marriott is nett but we wld go for the higher menu (with yummy haagen daz) while fullerton's sunday menu (with the +++) is slightly lower. Plus we're going to top up for extras such as wine and chair sashes (on every alternate chair) for both marriott and fullerton, and so after comparing both, fullerton still comes up cheaper (actually slightly only lah)... hee

Hi wedding 9999... the price quoted for each table is base on 10 pax. If you have an additional 1 or 2 pax for that table... they will prepare additional portion of food and hence charge on a per head basis for the 11th and 12th person. Note that Fullerton serves individual portion to each guest rather than one big plate for everyone to share.
I would suggest that you make it clear to guests not to bring maids or young children (if you prefer)... otherwise just arrange seats but no food served to maids/young children... just let the co-ordinator know beforehand.

Wedding 9999,
I belive odie had explained to you, Fullerton is different from other hotels, they provide VIP service. Your food will be serve at one side, then the waiter will divide out individual portions for each guest. Like prawn dish, they only prepare 10 prawns, if you've got 11 guest, 1 guest will go without food, thus need pay extra.
Rokko,
If I remember correctly, my coordinator did inform us we are not allowed to bring outside food into Fullerton for banquet. Whatever things we intend to get, must go through them but of course paying the price much higher to them instead of we getting directly outside. I read the T and C its also stated there. U may wish to check with your coordinator again.

sharlene: hehee.. thanks for ur advice... yah just a fancy idea of mine.. hvnt checked with them yet... i think i'll check with them the possibility of serving ice-cream instead of the standard dessert and see what they say... and also must see what's the top-up!!! sekali too much then better just stick to the std menu!!!
postpet2: no dry ice? hmm... on hindsight mebbe better cos need to look where we are going since walking down the stairs!!! im a bit chor lor so need to make sure i practice walking down steps properly, if im confirmed booking with fullerton! hehee... but yah hor then how to create entrance? must think... ;p

hi Poox
Congratulations! I know that you were preparing for your wedding for quite a while... even before I started!
wedding9999, the chef tends to make sure that they provide a bigger portion of food (eg. bigger fish) if you have an 11th or 12th at the table.
postpet & rokko, personally i'm not in favour of dry ice. It becomes more like a magic show, instead of a wedding. heh. A nice simple walk-in with a nice musical piece is glam enough.

I remember an exbride here saying that the soursop was good. So Rokko you might want to consider that.
I agree with Matka on the walk-in. Dry ice will make it difficult when you make your way down the steps in the ballroom. I had a simple walk-in as well... nothing fancy but the musical piece we chose was something meaningful to us and that was more than enough. Besides the steps will make your entrance glam... with the train of your gown slowly trailing down the steps

So bad wan ? So to say that the maid or children got no food to eat ? Well, sometimes they wat to bring their children & maid along so that the maid can take care of children while they eat.
I can't tell my relatives not to bring my cousins (children) there wat ?
Can we ask them not to serve individually for certain tables ?
So, without the dry ice effect, how Fullerton create 1st-march-in scene / atmosphere ?

Hi wedding... so what you can do is allocate seat but no food serving.
I think it is not really possible for them to serve in one big plate instead of indivudal servings because each table is decorated with a centre piece. In any event for dishes like beancurd, prawns they will prepare one for each pax... so even if they leave it in one big plate... someone might not get his/her share.

Hi wedding9999,
Actually, you can let your guests know your constraints. I'm sure they will understand. But if they still choose to bring their children or maid, I personally feel you would just have to allocate them a seat + food, else it wun be too nice. Afterall, it is a goodwill gesture from their end to provide hong paos and not something we should take for granted.
Also, most hotels now do away with the red carpet and dry ice effect! The magical moment of you walking down the aisle with your hubby will not be lost! Dun worry!

odie: yeah! i remember a post here also about the soursop being good!
also, at least two of my frens who've been to fullerton for wedding dinners have also said that the mango dessert was so good, they asked for extra helpings! so actually i dun mind either the soursop or mango dessert!
matka: actually im q chin-chai one, i dun mind whether got dry ice or not... my FH is the one who has certain ideas - he doesnt want dry ice, no cutting of cake, and no champagne pouring! so q headache lor, dunno what to do for entertainment... at least cut-cake and champagne pouring will keep guests occupied when they look at us mah... ;p

hi all,
I remember my ex-coordinator at Fullerton telling me, for kids below 6 years old, they won't count them as extra persons for the dinner. But above 6 will be counted. And I'm certain maids will definitely be counted. So not really up to us to say
since we are on this dry-ice thing, i noticed from friends' wedding that some of them are not very nice... cos' they have waiters squatting along the aisle to fan the dry-ice or some giant machines blowing the thing out! can look quite funny as the couple walks down actually.....

LOL. I believe i was the one who said the Soursop pudding was nice. Hee.
For us because we already had space constraints, we did ask for our relatives that the seats be reserved for the adults or teenagers (ie. encourage them to make other arrangements for someone else to look after their kids).
I like it when banquet staff serve us our individual portions, because I'm personally a very lazy wedding guest. Also, sometimes can get a bit paiseh to go for a second serving. So having the banquet staff apportion it out saves me the problem. Might be a different story if I were a guy who tends to eat more.
wedding9999, it is possible if you want to request for some tables not to be served individually. You just have to let your coordinator know. But that means that they'll be taking away the centerpiece from your table during the dinner. One of my distant relatives actually commented that the floral centerpiece adds to the atmosphere.
Rokko, haha.. actually our initial idea was also no cake cutting and champagne pouring. But we figured that it wasn't any harm so we just went with convention. Ya, you're right abt.. walking all the way there and having nothing to do. We did away with the first dish fanfare though. Didn't think it was necessary.

Poox!!
Congratulations!!! U must be very happy for your wedding ya
Wedding999,
The banquet manager will go around taking the head counts, thus even u addin a maid, still need to pay for the extra head coz extra food will be prepared, unless u specify to the banquet manager that not to add on another 1 pax food which like not so nice leh.
Rokko,
So u going for the show? How much need to pay ah? Update me if they can change the dessert to ice cream ya

wow...the thread is so busy today
thank u for all the well wishes
one of the reason why i chose fullerton was bec i like the way they serve by portion and they do it very professionally at the side of the table and the flower arrangement on the table can remain there throughout the dinner oso they have 1 waiter to serve a table
i actually checked with the relatives and friends who are bringing their kids (below 6) and maids if they would like me to cater food for them....all of them said "no"
so i juz told the hotel to give them seats but no food....cos most of the time these kids are running around having their own fun and the maids....chasing after them
i oso think it is not a good idea to have the dry ice effect for the walk-in at fullerton....anyway, that's too common now
my church choir sang for first my walk-in and i requested for rose petals for guests sitting along the aisle to throw them as confetti....that was really fun. for my second walk-in my husband and i came in from different side and met in the middle...that was fun too.
everytime we drive pass fullerton, it just brings back so much nice memories

poox: thanks for your feedback! and really great that you have such lovely memories of your wedding!!!
makes me even more excited to have my wedding at fullerton now! you're right abt the service... i much prefer to have a 1 to 1 ratio of waiters to tables... definitely more personalised service! but i suspect the 'dua-chiek' men may feel that they dun have enuf to eat if they're only given one portion each! *lol*
matka: hahaa so u're the one who said abt the soursop! hehee... so qiao... mine's the sunday menu who includes the soursop as dessert, so im glad u found it good!!
hey but can i ask abt the first dish fanfare? does fullerton do a std first dish fanfare or smtg? how is it like? i hope it's not one of those drama-mama things where lights flash all over the place and the waiters march in and all... hee
sharlene: hehee okie i'll ask the coordinator... but since matka says the soursop is gd, i might just stick to that! which menu is yours btw? mine's the sunday menu... are you swopping dishes or sticking to your menu?
yomi: i'll be going for the show... why dun u sign up for the show first and then see if they offer any gd perks? my coordinator says there are perks but q secretive lor, didn't say anything much!! ;p

hi Rokko
You can try the soursop pudding during the food tasting to see if it's to your liking. It won't be too late to change it if you don't like it then.
I dispensed with the first dish fanfare so I really don't know how that'll turn out if you have one. Hopefully not one of those disco lights thingy! heh heh.

Rokko,
I was told by my coordinator that for dessert, we can switch around, no problem, we may also request some dessert, if its within their means, they may take our request. Mine is the weekday package for the date is our anniversary day
The first fan fare according to them, can do with or without, according to our wishes. But they dun seem to encourage.

ha...i overlooked the first dish fan fare during my planning and at the last min, they ask my husband so he juz anyhow chose the techno theme
i was shocked when i heard the music and my friends were all laughing cos they know it's so not us
well....looking back that was quite funny hahahaha......i suggest to go without
hahahaha......i suggest to go withoutsharlene: thanks! which means the dessert for the weekday package is the chilled mango thingy rite? heard v v comments abt it!!!
i think for food tasting i'll see how the soursop goes, then decide if i want to swop around!
poox: hahaaa!!! agree it must have been funny, but memorable!!! betcha looking back u must have had good laughs about it!!! ;p
fong2: gee... i dunno abt printers, all i know is that their cards are frm american wedding treasures, never got around asking abt printers yet! ;p

Rokko... my co-ordinator told me that they do not allow rose petals to be thrown as the petals will stain the carpet.
Oh if you are thinking of using spray can confetti... do not go with sparklers... cos my brother attended a friend's wedding and the bride's hair caught fire when the sparks came into contact with the spray -.-""

oh thanks odie! i guessed as much that they will restrict us on something... hehee... but rose petals will stain meh? sigh.... otherwise it wld be so romantic...
oh dear oh dear the bride's hair caught fire ah? opps!!! that must have been so drama and unfortunate!!! cannot imagine!!!! ;o

poox, have you asked fullerton if they allow blowing of bubbles?
aiyo, even using petals also cannot meh...very restricted leh...
i've attended a fren's wedding that uses pop confettis, it sounded quite good...cos quite loud..so made quite a grand entrance...but if you want to choose a piece of music that is low sounding, then may not want to have this...
sigh...

Hi Rokko... ya I would suppose so after the petals are being stepped on repeatedly by the guests walking around. I guess that the sap of the petals will be squeezed out when squashed.
Ya... it must have been very traumatic for her. My brother told me that some guests helped to pat down the fire and she continued with the walk-in. But she tripped when going up the stage (I guess she was already in a state of shock by then). Ended up crying on the stage... haiz

Hi all
Even rose petals cannot use ah?
I'm planning to let both my nephew and niece be my pageboy (or flower boy) & flower girl. Thinking of letting them throw rose petals when they march in front of us. Seems like now gotta think of something else to let them throw.
Any good suggestions?
