- The reception is at 2 small function rooms.

Wedding Venue - Marina Mandarin


Purpose
- Attended the wedding show in October 2007.

Location
- Not near to City Hall MRT station, at least 20 minutes walk to hotel.
- In near future, there will be Esplanade MRT station within 5 minutes walk to the hotel.

Reception
1) Marina Mandarin Ballroom
- It has its own private foyer which is very spacious, directly located near the main entrance.
2) Vanda Ballroom
- Located at 4th floor.
- The foyer has a good view of overseeing the hotel rooms on the top view and restaurants/cafes at the bottom view.
- Sad to say that it is not really private as many hotel guests or visitors will loiter around there so it is difficult to recognise who your relatives or friends are.

Ballroom
1) Marina Mandarin Ballroom
- Spacious and pillar-less.
- It can accommodate up to 70 tables.
- Big ballroom does not mean all guests can see the stage. For my opinion, it is difficult to see the couple march-in from the middle of the ballroom.
- The ceiling look very low.
- Short march-in.
2) Vanda Ballroom
- It has its own stage.
- Spacious and pillar-less.
- It can accommodate up to 30 tables.
- Short march-in.

Stage Decoration
- The very own and spacious stage at Vanda Ballroom.
- The stage is very cramped at Marina Mandarin Ballroom.

Ambiance
1) Marina Mandarin Ballroom
- It is very dark so won't be able to see the couple march-in.
- The laser presentation make it very grand in the big ballroom.
2) Vanda Ballroom
- Can feel the closeness and cosiness.
- The room decoration got the feeling of being traditional.

Solemnisation
- Nice garden theme near the poolside.
- I think choice of cupcakes rather than wedding cakes is good.
- Nicely decorated with apple green colour sash on the chairs.
- ROM under the sun may not be recommended if you are planning in the day.

Service
- The event planners are friendly and helpful.

Food
- I can say the food are very disappointing.
- Even the mango sago is not sweet.
- Waste of money.

Bridal Suite
- It has a great view on Singapore flyer.
- The room look normal with no decoration.

Address
- 6 Raffles Boulevard Marina Square Singapore 039594

Wedding Venue - Grand Plaza Park Hotel City Hall


Purpose
- I had gone to their wedding shows twice on September 2007 and September 2008. I also seen the whole set-up of the ballroom and reception table for the wedding. This was my choice for wedding venue.

Location
- Ten minutes walk from City Hall MRT station.
- Located between Funan Centre and Peninsula Plaza.
- Bus stop is right in front of the hotel.

Reception
- Privately for the wedding event.
- Long and narrow corridor outside the main ballroom.
- Private cocktail bar is at the end of the corridor.
- It will be crowded if you have more than 200 guests on 2nd level.

Ballroom
- Very classic and grand. Most importantly, it is a pillar-less ballroom.
- The ceiling is just nice for the height.
- It can accommodate up to 35 tables. (Minimum tables was 25)
- It will be spacious if your maximum capacity is 28 tables.
- There are 2 doors in the ballroom so the march-in is L-shaped with less than 2 minutes walk.
- There are 2 LCD projectors screen at the left and right side of the ballroom.

Stage Decoration
- Very cramped, enough for the decor, wedding cake, champagne pouring and the speech box.
- Not recommendable for solemnisation.
- The stage is not high enough. Just 2-3 steps from the floor.

Ambiance
- The feeling in the ballroom is cosy and grand.

Solemnisation
- 3 great places for ROM, ie function room, waterfall and garden.
- Free rental at Waterfall area.
- Additional $300 (my estimation only) to rent their garden.
- If function room is available, the hotel allows you to use the room as complimentary.

Service
- Banquet manager will make sure that their staff are clear of their duties.
- The staff will take charge of the whole event and make sure everything goes well.
- The waiters/waitresses are very attentive as they make sure you have your drinks or canapes.

Food
- The food is served by the most popular restaurant called Park Palace.
- Shark fin soup and E-mian are the best.

Bridal Suite
- Orchid suite is spacious and cosy although it look normal.
- Governor suite has private jacuzzi attached outside the room. Furnitures are big so the whole feeling made me feel very cramped in this room.

Address
- 10 Coleman Street Singapore 179809

Wedding Venue - Swissotel The Stamford


Purpose
- Attended the Style Wedding: Glamour Bash 2008 which was held at Swissotel The Stamford on April 2008.

Location
- Great location which is just above City Hall MRT Station.
- Located at 4th floor inside Raffles City shopping mall.
- To get up to the ballroom, guests have to go through their main hotel lobby. I almost lost my way there.

Reception
- The area is big and spacious which can accommodate more than 1000 guests.
- A complimentary of ice display from hotel at the foyer.

Ballroom
- More choices on the ballroom, minimum tables at 25.
- Main ballroom can accommodate up to 180 tables. Able to partition the ballroom if there are any other event.
- L-shaped march-in at the main ballroom of 25 tables but please note that the VIP table can accommodate up to 24 guests so you will be marching round the table before going up on stage.
- The ballroom is very spacious but I found that too spacious won't have the feeling of being closed to one another and felt that I was far away from the stage although there were around 25 tables.
- Pillar-less ballroom with high ceiling.
- 1 LCD projector screen

Stage Decoration
- Stage is very wide and spacious, ideal for solemnisation during wedding dinner.
- The stage stair is not convenient. If your gown has a very long train, it will be better to have someone to help you, most likely the staff there will lend you a lend.
- The stage is high enough for all guests to see.

Ambiance
- Love the candles in the atmosphere of romantic ballroom.

Service
- Hotel Staff are friendly, helpful and attentive. Goes all the way to guide you through the whole process (eg, check-in in advance before couple arrives, rehearsal for march-in, wait at the hotel lobby when couple arrives, etc).

Bridal Suite
- Excellent sceneric view from the suite.
- Spacious and luxurious.
- A bath-tub has a door that can jump over to the bed.

Address
- 2 Stamford Road Singapore 178882
