Hi tiramisu, I paid approx $3800 for 37 guests.. It's the EDB room I used. Favours are not included
The Fullerton Hotel Singapore
- Thread starter joyce
- Start date
<tiramisu91> hmm....it seems the straits room can hold more than 10 tables ba....not a bad room as the main door links right to the aisle and to the stage, hence, you need not turn left or right during march-in....and also no pillars....great for all to see you...it wld be a "long" march-in as the room is in rectangular shape....i dont have pictures as they mentioned its not allowed to take....you can request from ur coordinator....he/she shd be able to help you...

tiramisu> ya my friend whom i bumped into the other day wanted to book for 2010 but not open yet too. For 2010 its open till March according to my coordinator. I booked the Straits Room as i am planning to have 2 separate lunches as my coordinator did the planning for me. I must really thanked him cos he did it like a financial planner, break down in details for me to see the difference. I have been tyring to get the est number of guests but cant so in the end he suggested 2 lunches instead of 1 main dinner. ;P

tiramisu> no i have only about 220 odd guests so i cant take both straits or ballroom but after considering what rendall proposed, we decided to have 2 lunch. 1st day with relatives and 2nd day with our close friends and relatives. in total we have confirmed 12 tables per day and the cost is still within our budget.
oh ya give him sometime, he is very busy with so many couples cos i saw him meeting 1 couple after another. he did shared with me that bookings are quite heavy for next year end.

<liting> so u r the one who rendall says he suggested 2 lunches....hahaha....
<sharon> i'm going to forgo the rolls royce...my HTB ask me to calculate the monies and the amt of time we spend inside the car VS the monies & time we spend another night in fullerton....see...he wins the battle! i got nothing to say...
<tiramisu91> if u r only holding ROM & wld not b having a banquet for ur wedding then make it BIG during ur ROM....if not, dont spend so much during ROM...get a function room like popprincesstrin suggested...

Min> I am not sure if i am the one but i heard him say there's another couple who is having 2 lunches too. hehe anyway good idea too cos it saves me $ and best of all headache as i can't estimate the number of guests accurately now except a rough number of guests.

thanks elmove & sharon. I've not sure about food too elmove, i kind of booked it in a rush, and only did so coz a friend (whose taste I trust is good) says the weddings there are good. can you choose the buffett from town or jade? If it's from town, then I think should be quite alright la. international fare, but no wows from me.

Hi tiramisu, the 3800 i paid was for the ROM, I believe that was what you asked for on sunday morning. I apologise if I misread it. If you have between 30-50, it's gd to follow my choice. You can also choose to occupy the straits room but you need to meet the min revenue for straits room which is 80 (min. number of pple ) x whatever price package you have chosen
Like what min mentioned, it's better to have a small scale ROM if you are throwing a banquet. I'll be having mine at Fullerton next yr so I tot <50 guests for ROM is gd.
hey elmove, I had the buffet lunch for my solemnisation last month. My guests had almost no complains for the food. There were certain stuff I didnt quite like from Town so I requested for some modifications which turned out satisfying.

jenic> oh you are having 2 lunches too huh. Thanks to rendall cos i was scratching my head with my htb as we only have about 20-22 tables and love fullerton but due to the min requirements i thought i got to give it a miss till rendall asked me to view the room then from there he worked out the package for me which after calculation it make sense and more cost efficient so i signed up last sat. you have the dame problem like me too with the min requirements?
hi liting,
Yes, sort of.. cos we have abt 15-16tables expected but we loved the straits rm too much.. We went round checking out other hotels, but only straits rm give us the WOW effect. Inititally wanted to do a lunch and dinner on the same day but was way beyond our budget.. Good thing we have Rendall when he suggested to do a 2day lunch! So we get to have it at THE venue within THE budget!

Hey so coincidental. I had some budget problem too and wanted to do dinner but then the min requirements do not allow us to do so. Thought split up the dinner but then after some calculation, it was way too high. Considered doing a lunch and dinner but then still a little too high. After speaking with Rendall, he said why not do 2 lunch instead as the cost will be lower. And thats how we signed up after he worked out the $ for us to see. He actually break the figures for us to see. Initially wanted to go raffles but then the coordinator was so impatient when i asked more questions. sigh.. can feel the difference when i met rendall lor.

liting,
We are in the same type of boat ya! *High 5!* I totally agree! Rendall bother to goes the extra mile for you.. That is also one of the reason why we decided to go with Fullerton. We encountered coordinators from other hotels, some are good too (like Rendall style) but some totally cannot make it man..
tiramisu91 - I went to check out the room in daytime. Personally i think straits room when in daytime is still pretty alright.. They can dim down the lights in the room and let the natural lighting pour in.. Gives a dreamy feel too

Jenic,
I went to about 4 other hotels including fullerton and i must say besides fullerton, there's one more thats not bad either but then again at least someone gives me a solution rather than asking me to give them an answer so i went with fulleton since rendall can give us a solution.
tiramisu91> why don't you ask rendall to help you customise something. I am very sure he can help you if you tell him your requirements or problem like us. ;P

someone has taken picts of the straits room..
min - noooOoooOoo.. for the 2day lunch, i only get Esplande room for each day. Alternatively, we are given an option to swop the 2days stay at Esplande for 1day Loft (which is inconvenient for us) or top up the difference to upgrade to Loft suite..

min,
for my 2 days, the options he worked out for me is either swop 2 days esplanade to 1 day loft or top up if i want both days to be loft. i didn't ask for more cos he had already helped us alot and also rooms is beyond his control so i can understand.
who is your coordinator may i ask?

tiramisu> esplanade room is just a normal room, slightly smaller than conrad's bridal suite. but the room the opened for us for viewing has got nice views.
