Hi

Anybody holding their banquet there?

Let me share my pre-experience ...

I will be holding my banquet there end of Nov-11.
My coordinator Ms Violette is great, friendly and helpful.

She explains clearly and gives suggestions as well as recommendations. :thumbup:

Looking forward to my banquet in Nov-11. :love:

Hi,

I just had the site visit with Ms Violette last evening. I also agree that she is a very warm and helpful person.

Astutekitty, how many tables do you have?? Have you viewed the actual set-up already? I quite like the overall feel of the ballroom. However, i'm concerned that it may look different with the set-up on the AD.

Reason of my concern is that previously i went to another hotel with the similar ceiling height and without the set-up, everything looks spacious and comfortable. However, i went to view the actual set-up last sat and it looks pretty different. Other than the foyer area being very cramped, the ceiling also looks especially low. =(

I'm quite particular with the ceiling ht cos i get headaches very easily in cramped and crowded places. My HTB is quite amused by me cos i can scrutinize every details of the hotel, from the facade, the interior, the foyer area where we hold the recept, the wallpaper, the carpet and lastly and most importantly the ceiling height and set-up. haha..I feel quite paiseh towards him sometimes...=p

Hey.. Amara has a nice poolside, though ceiling low, the ballroom is quite big. Location also accesible, not a bad place.

Hi Yappie

Sorry for my late reply.

Initially, I thought was only 30 tables and now it increased to 42+. Hence, we are not worried about the number of guests versus the place size of 42 tables. =x

Based on the pictures shared by Ms Violette about the floral decoration, it looks alright. However, I visited Amara again to collect the invitation cards, she mentioned that they will be changing decoration etc. Hence, she will confirm with us the details again. ^^

Amara Hotel Poolside Solemnisation - Feedback

Anyone did their solemnisation at Amara (not the one in Sentosa)... Am considering there for a high tea buffet from 3pm to 6pm... Not sure if the setting sun will affect or be too hot? Any other feedback or experience are welcome!

hi Glitzger, the hotel itself is not sufficiently decorated, you will need to engage an external florist to decorate the place for you. you will want to book the extra function room too, in case of rain. :)

Ic... I think the function room for wet weather is catered for by the hotel, I saw it during the site recce.. I thought the decor is ok, but maybe should add more stuff.. Not sure where else we can decorate other than the pavillion though.. Haha... Thanks for your feedback!

Hi Glitzger

i just had my ROM at amara this year May. Location at the pool side in the pavillion.
i took up the lunch package and the timing is roughly from 11 plus to 3pm.
it was raining in the morning so when i was solemnising the weather was kinda cooling. it became hotter when the sun was out ard 1 plus.
as for the deco wise, personally i felt it was sufficient. i checked some other hotels and they dont even provide what amara has..eg. bird cage, dummy cake, wine fountain...
Lastly the coordinator was very efficient. Have fun planning. :)
