My fiance and I had a different experience (negative one) with Juliana and Hui Hui from Gallery.
We emailed their sales email add, and Juliana replied us quite promptly (about 2 days later). After that, we arranged a date (a Sat) to meet up with her so we can take a look at the function rooms. A few days before the day, she emailed and told us she'll be on leave and cannot make it. She suggested we give her alternative dates. Despite us feeling a little peeved she agreed to our meeting and cancelled suddenly due to leave (which usually wld have been applied for some time ago), we sent back 2 alternative dates for her to choose from.
Then, she did not reply. 1-2 weeks later, we decided to stop waiting and my fiance emailed her again. And she apologised for not replying because she overlooked our email (something like that).
Throughout our emails, she's been CC-ing Hui Hui and then after this, we were passed on to Hui Hui. We arranged a day to meet her and arrived on time on that day.
When we got to the hotel, we went to the concierge and one of the staff there, M, greeted us. The moment we told her we were looking for HH, her facial expression changed. And her smile was gone (we don't understand why).
She told us she'll call her down and asked us to wait at the seat far away from the concierge. My fiance felt a little insulted but we left it as that. We waited for around 5 minutes. While we were waiting, M was walking out of the hotel and I made eye contact with her. So she stopped and told us (with a rather patronising smile) she's contacted HH and she'll be down soon and turned away and walked out almost immediately.
HH came and shook hands with my fiance and when I got up and wanted to introduce myself, she turned away. We made our way to the lift and up to level 3 and she kept quiet throughout. Didn't even make small talks or ask about what we have in mind for our solemnisation and etc.
When we reached the function room, she kept quiet again. I asked a few questions and her expression when answering me seems to be saying "what kinda stupid question is that". Maybe it's just me. But her lack of warmth and smile made my fiance rather angry so he kept quiet throughout.
I continued asking questions because she wasn't providing any information on her initiative. The file on her hands containing pictures/info abt the function rooms/packages/designs/etc was not shown to us.
I requested to see a smaller room and she brought us there. Again mouth shut. And so I asked questions. To be honest, I really like their solemnisation package and etc, but her attitude was pissing me off already.
However, I decided to remain calm and nice, so I told her maybe we'll come back again when the time is closer. She went to switch off the lights and did not offer to "send us out".
We made our way to the lift and she came out standing behind us, again not speaking to us. I asked one final question about the colour themes and finally she showed us the pictures in her file. And that's it.
She walked off to the other function room and we went down and left.
I was very disappointed with their service because I had really wanted to hold my solemnisation at that hotel. To my fiance and I, service is very important because it tells you whether the staff will do their best to accommodate, whether they are sincere in making things work for you, and whether they know how to handle any cock-ups during the event itself.
We don't understand why they were so unfriendly and unprofessional towards us because we've been nothing but polite to them whether in emails or in person. My fiance and I even made the effort to dress up to meet HH at the hotel out of respect.
We have decided not to consider holding our solemnisation at GH anymore and will be looking at other hotels. Just wanted to share my experience with everyone. Hope you guys will have better service if you decide to hold yours there.
