- Rooftop venue where I held my Solemnisation ceremony was scenic . - Overall costs of holding a solemnisation ceremony for 53 Pax with 5-course western menu and decorations was $12000 only . - Cardijn at Crystal Club Lounge was lovely . - Irman and staff at Tablescape Restaurant were outstanding .
- I paid upfront for everything . This was a very stressful wedding for me . - We are the wedding couple . Hotel told me my husband's room cannot guarantee early check-in . Check-in will be 3pm when wedding is at 5.30pm . They then proceeded to tell me I can pay 50% more for the room and they will guarantee early check-in . I made a big brouhaha and then they decided to allow him an early check-in . Mind you , if I had paid 50% more , the price of the deluxe room would have been $30 less than the price of the Bridal suite . This defies logic . Who would be dumb enough to pay the price when it is too exorbitant for a deluxe room . Also , they failed to realise that we are the biggest spender that day . $12000 has been paid to the hotel to host our wedding (single day function) . Unless you are telling me that there are other guests who are spending more in a single day transfer than us , it does not make sense that they would not guarantee early check-in for my husband's room . - Wrote the wrong name on their congratulatory message . (Not spelling error but totally wrong name . Mind you , the hotel printed our signages and knew our names were Imtiaz and Abigail but on the congratulatory message they wrote Azar and Abigail . Azar is my husband's father's name .) - placed an ang Bao box at the reception desk even though I told them we are not accepting any gifts for our wedding (my husband was offended by that . The reason we did not accept gifts were because most of our guests were from abroad US, UK, Sri Lanka , Bahraine , Philippines, Korea . We had told them we are accepting gifts .) - Crystal club lounge receptionist Kripka asked me to pay a deposit for my Bridal suite and Deluxe room upon check-in when I had already paid in full 5 days before wedding . She then proceeded to tell me the rooms had not been reserved and she cannot see it in the system . She asked me which room I am in . That would be impossible for me to know as I am doing a check-in . So either this is Kripka's fault or Maricris' fault as nobody informed me about the room numbers. - Receipts given by the hotel has only a number on it . There is no breakdown given . So , when my brother called me and asked me how many pre-wedding cocktails and cocktails are to be served , I opened the receipts and found absolutely no information in them . I had to then refer to my emails to Maricris to see the numbers we paid for . The hotel did not know what had been paid for . Mind you , my brother asked me this at 4.45pm . Wedding starts at 5.30pm . - they charged me for 3 beers . Till now , my guests said they did not drink the beers and my PIC said it never was consumed .
