We
had
our
wedding
banquet
at
Orchard
Hotel,
if
you
are
planning
the
same,
DON'T.
The
only
thing
that
was
good
was
the
food.
Huating
really
delivered
on
the
quality
of
the
food.
Everything
else
however
has
ruined
the
once
in
a
lifetime
wedding
that
my
bride
and
I
wanted
to
have.
Prior
to
the
wedding,
we
took
time
off
work
multiple
times
to
head
down
to
the
venue
to
discuss
with
the
details
with
the
Assistant
Sales
Manager
-
events,
Sunshine,
multiple
times.
We
discussed
details
such
as
what
color
do
we
want
the
VIP
table
sash
to
be
and
where
do
we
want
the
AV
table
to
be.
We
even
gave
all
our
requests
in
a
clear
excel
file.
Lo
and
behold,
on
the
actual
day
itself
it
was
all
wrong.
When
questioned
about
this,
they
had
the
gall
to
push
the
blame
on
us
and
said
it
is
because
we
did
not
come
down
earlier
to
make
sure
everything
was
okay.
What
was
the
point
of
us
wasting
time
to
come
down
to
the
venue
for
discussions
then.
Or
the
excel
file.
That
is
just
the
tip
of
the
humongous
screw
up
job
they
did.
During
the
day
itself,
the
banquet
manager,
Scott,
was
clearly
very
new
at
his
job
and
just
wanted
to
rush
us
so
that
he
could
go
home.
In
the
solemnization
room,
the
AC
was
leaking
onto
our
guests
and
when
notified
of
this,
he
said
that
its
an
old
problem
and
that
it
was
our
fault
for
having
so
many
guests.
Firstly,
the
tone
he
had
was
shocking,
and
the
gall
to
push
the
blame
back
on
to
us
again
was
astonishing.
If
it
was
a
known
problem,
has
happened
before,
why
was
nothing
done
to
mitigate
or
even
minimize
the
problem.
Next
was
during
the
banquet
itself.
My
bride
and
I
took
the
time
to
select
songs
that
meant
a
lot
to
us
to
play
in
the
background
during
the
banquet.
Scott
had
the
gall
to
make
unnecessary
comments
to
our
friend
helping
with
the
AV.
Towards
the
end
of
the
night,
whilst
we
were
still
saying
our
goodbyes
to
our
guests,
he
rushed
us
with
the
receipt.
This
was
very
unsightly,
unprofessional
and
incompetent
on
their
part.
Not
to
mention
how
many
problems
there
were
with
the
audio
in
both
the
solemnization
room
and
the
ballroom
itself.
Sounds
from
the
other
solemnization
room
was
leaking
over
to
ours,
to
the
point
that
our
marriage
officiant
had
to
raise
her
voice
just
to
be
heard.
And
the
ballroom
audio
had
a
lot
of
issues
as
well.
Microphones
sounded
weird,
audio
crew
was
unable
to
solve
certain
issues
and
our
own
friends
had
to
step
in
to
solve
it.
So
we
were
already
having
a
terrible
night
at
this
point,
and
just
wanted
them
to
take
accountability
for
failing
to
deliver
what
was
promised.
Which
was
what
we
told
them
before
we
went
to
bed.
The
next
day,
the
F&B
manager,
Bing,
called
us
down
after
being
briefed
on
what
happened
and
asked
us
to
repeat
again
what
happened.
After
repeating
it
again
for
the
3rd
time
at
this
point,
he
kept
pushing
the
blame
and
said
that
the
crew
itself
did
nothing
wrong
and
it
couldn't
be
helped.
There
were
small
mistakes
here
and
there
but
nothing
that
warrant
any
corrective
or
apologetic
gesture.
The
most
common
answer
we
got
from
him
was
"Thank
you
for
the
feedback,
we
will
take
it
into
account
moving
forward.
We
will
train
our
staff
better."
It
felt
like
talking
to
a
brick
wall
and
was
clear
that
he
did
not
care
nor
take
this
as
seriously
as
we
did.
A
wedding
is
a
once
in
a
lifetime
event,
and
it
was
ruined
for
us
by
them.
To
the
point
that
we
actually
had
trouble
sleeping
at
night
and
even
had
to
waste
our
1st
day
as
a
married
couple
talking
to
them,
angering
us
even
more
when
their
attitude
was
clearly
complacent
and
just
trying
to
get
us
to
shut
up
and
move
on.
We
had
placed
our
faith
that
Orchard
hotel
would
help
us
have
a
proper
wedding
and
clearly
it
was
misplaced.
I
am
very
very
shocked
that
this
is
the
quality
of
service
here
and
all
we
are
asking
for
is
for
them
to
take
proper
accountability
for
their
action.
If
you
think
I
am
the
only
one,
there
are
similar
complains
from
previous
couples
that
have
had
their
wedding
here.
So
clearly,
they
did
not
"take
the
feedback
and
improve
on
it".
Please
have
your
wedding
elsewhere
and
do
not
suffer
like
we
did.
