dl_mei 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 dear brides,I would like to share my unpleasant encounter with the servicing person from Concorde, so that you all know and are aware and hopefully do not have to go thru what i went thru.I was interested to take up concorde initially, however since ballroom has been taken up, i was opting to take Xin Cuisine rest. So I make a visit personally to the chinese rest. last 2 wks, liked what I saw and proceeded to email to the lady in charge to let her know that my fiance and I were ready to place the deposit.However, she told us that there was another couple before us and that we were 2nd in waiting list. So we thought its only fair that the PIC call up the first couple and give them a timeframe to pay up the deposit. Last Monday, we were told that this couple was interested to take up the venue and would pay up during the weekend. All this while, correspondence with the lady in charge was thru email. So to make things clear, I asked her (via email)... "So if the couple does not pay up during the weekend, could we have the right to book the venue?".... In which her reply was "If the couple does not pay up during the weekend, we will let you have the venue". So girls... this is as clear as it could be and it was all in black and white!My fiance and I waited patiently for the weekend to pass and called up the lady in charge first thing in the morning today. When she answered my call & after I have introduced myself, she just told me she would revert soon. Next half an hour when I checked my email she had the cheek to write to tell me that the couple DID NOT pay up during the weekend and she is extending their payment deadline 'coz they said they wud pay today. I was so furious to see that email, and she didnt even had the courtesy to call me to inform me!So I called her for the 2nd time today and demanded an explanation from her. Not only was she RUDE, she didnt even apologise (come on, the terms and conditions rendered to us was in B&W!!), she was arrogant and she kept cutting off my sentences when I tried to tell her that its unfair to do this to us!In the end, I just felt it was pointless to say anything else so after listening to her trying to reason I hung up.I hope you girls won't have to go thru such incidents 'coz it really spoilt my day.

cheers 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Hi Cheers,really? me have booked Concorde Xin Cuisine for my wedding, haven't gone for the food tasting.hi,I am not very sure how bad the food was, but according to few of my close friends who attent the wedding dinner said the food was bad. Although the wedding couple claim that they the menu they choose is very expensive (heard is RM1.2k)... but i feel it is really not worthy... for 1.2k, perhaps you can topup little bit more and go for Renaissance or other 5 stars hotel.hope i hav not offended anyone in this thread. please accept my apologies if i do. I really like to checkout if Concorde still a right place to go for or not, cause my friend who is getting married end of this year intend to take them.may I know anyone have pleasant encounter with them? regardless food or service... thanks for ur input in advance.cheers~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
