Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel

[444]

then it could be 45

I don't really know the min number...mine's like at least 55...and still growing...grrr...

Good to know that the flowers and all were nice. If the hotel room is so crap, i'll ask them to change it! I have a two day wedding and will be staying there two nights.

Like i said, booked mine during a promo so I think the cost is like that...800 or so, cos got discount mah haha.

Think ppl who wanna know more can stick ard...there's someone here with a wedding here on 7th Jan...hopefully she'll come back to share w us her experience!

Is there any better place? It all depends on wat you're looking for. Most hotels (in the same range) seem the same to me...but my options were slashed due to the number of ppl i had to cater to. It's all personal pref...happy shopping!

hello people,

For weekdays, the min table is 35. Weekend is 45.

But for weekend, you'll definitely have straight march in coz my co-ordinator did say tat for L-shape march-in, the max table is 45. (Dunno if i'm being clear here)

I'll be having my dinner there early next month. So far, the co-ordinator has been very helpful & accomodating.

Think you can try bargaining for waiver of corkage for wine (if not included)or a free food tasting or both (if ur bargaining skills are good).

If it's not too late, I hope I can update you gals next month.

Hi Magdalene!!!!

Can I know who's the photographer??? I like the one with the fisheye lens effect one most...

 

[relaxfun]

Pinkcoco

My photograher is Benjamin Loo, Freelance, can email him at [email protected]

highlight to him tat u got his contact from me, he might give u some discount

 

[aureus]

hey magdalene....heheh..sorry...didnt realise its ur post...looks like u didnt like the room too much....read somewhere in here that there were 1 or 2 more who didnt find their room too great....was wondering tho, is their room set up nice n romantic? was looking thru internet pics of pan pac...apparently their bridal suite consisits of a 4poster bed..which i must say is nice..but well..dun ilke pan pac otherwise...so yep...choosing between this and mandarin...
but ur photos were great...might end up giving the benjamin guy a call...

im sure ur guests must all have WOWed when the curtains opened....

how many days of stay will u be getting? Actually i will be more concern abt the ballroom then the hotel room lor, not tat everyone of yr guests going to view yr hotel room rite? hehhe

I got two days of stay but i will rather stay at my own home lor

i actually also choosing between Grand cop and mandarin, but as u can see Grand cop doesnt have pillars in their ballroom like mandarin, thats already a advantage

And Grand cop onli have ONE and onli Ballroom at level 4 lor, so yr guests wont be mixed up by which ballroom to go to

yeah the guests loved the garden very much! but when we are pouring the chamg wine, we didnt even bother to notice tat the curtains are opening ah!

I was very happy with my photograher's work lor, He did a very good job i shld say

 

[aureus]

me will be getting 2 nights in mandarin, think its one night there (according to the brochure i got)

mandaring grand ballroom also no pillars..me deciding between the grandballroom and the gcw one..but its the garden that im in love with!! so so romantic..haha..was enthralled with it during the divine bridal show last year...

think the two offers different views...gcw is the really romantic garden effect..and mandarin ballroom offers the grand old feel...nostalgic yadda..both are fine with me...

but sighz....see how the deals they offer go...see who offer better rates and perks lor

but ive got a thing with bedrooms...hehe...first time, first night..well...

must be memorable...hahah

 

[relaxfun]

aureus

are u toking abt Orchard mandarin??? which ballroom u refering too?

 

[aureus]

yah..its the orchard mandarin one...next to cineleisure...they got 2 rooms on the 4th floor of the old wing...mandaring court and mandarin belvaurd or however u spell it...both this one side by side... then on the 6th floor of the so called new wing, they got the grand ballroom, that one got no pillars...

 

[relaxfun]

oh isee.

i havent been to the level 6 grand ballroom, sounds insteresting

if in that case, i will rather pick Mandarin lor , cos its a now ballroom, and the area is orchard. Ang bao wont be little

Cos grandcop is still not as wellknown as orchard mandarin

 

[aureus]

ooppss..must clarify...they so call it the new wing, but the ballroom is old...think they did a little touch up long time back...that's why the ballroom got the grand old effect..coz really its just old..haha...still got the old chandliers..but it gives it the stately feel...

but gcw is gaining in popularity..but yah...mandarin is definitely easier access..coz mrt nearby too..early guests can go shop shop..

but one thing is that my fh dun like the bridal suite much...said abit old... kinda agree lah...but can do....think i will arrange to go see the gcw bridal suite... but im now alerted to the smell and ants...heheh..and the toilet being bigger than the bedroom....

mand's has 2 sides..turn left is sitting area, turn right is bedroom....
