Selection of Wedding Venue: Traders Hotel

I have heard many good reviews for Traders' Hotel's banquet food, so we decided to register for the wedding show and it was a pleasant experience!

Address: 1A Cuscaden Road, Singapore 249716

They have 3 banquet halls- The Gallery (min. 22 tables, max. 30 tables), Temasek  (min. 15 tables, max. 19 tables) and Malacca room (min. 12 tables, 16 tables max)
Weekend Wedding Dinner:
Jan to Aug 2015- $1238/ $1318 nett per table of 10 persons
Sept to Dec 2015- $1299/ $1399 nett per table of 10 persons
 
 
 
 
 
Pros:
  • Excellent service staff- prompt and friendly
  • Food quality is excellent and super delicious
  • Relatively large reception area for the smaller ballroom
  • Pillarless for the smaller ballroom
  • Reasonable price
  • Polite service staff
  • Pretty candybar
Cons:
  • Even though it is located in Orchard but you will have to take about 15 mins to walk in
  • Pillar for the grand ballroom
  • Small reception area for the grand ballroom
We couldn't decide on the spot as J wasn't too keen as he said the feel of it was too old so we didn't sign up. We KIV-ed Traders' and visited other hotels. We didn't get to see the bridal suite, like many hotels they claim that they are on 100% occupancy so we will only be able to see their photos. I prefer to see the physical bridal suite to gauge the condition of the room though.
 
So happened while visiting other hotels during the next few months, Traders' had another show again so I persuaded J to go with me and decide if we should shortlist Traders or not. But after the 2nd visit we decided not to select it as the sales person/wedding coordinator had very poor attitude - can't really be bothered to answer our questions and in addition the Temasek room we wanted was slightly odd if we have 19 tables as one of the table will be blocked by the door when we do the march in. It will be more comfortable to have 18 tables which will not be enough to cater to our expected 190 guests.
