Hi everyone
Just attended a friend's wedding @ the Grand Ballroom of GrandCorpthone Waterfront Hotel last Sun, so thot I shall share some thoughts with you. Overall it was a very nice experience but maybe there are some points to note:
1) Location of the place. As public transport is a problem, think it'll be a good idea to print a little map with the bus numbers on the invites, or tell your guests beforehand. Think a lot of people were late because of this.
2)The 1st dish presentation was not very well co-ordinated. A group of waiters came in first, not in an orderly manner, then just when we thought all of them have come in (cos there was a big gap) another group came thro in an even more disorderly manner. Some of them were even talking!! So maybe its good to highlight to them beforehand.
3)The portion of the food was quite a lot. We had 11 on the table but it was still enough, altho things like abalone only has 10 pieces exactly, but that's ok. The food was not fantastic, but quite OK. Only complain was that the cantonese style steam promfret was not quite fresh. Not very obviously not fresh, but I'm quite picky about fish lor, so to me that is not quite up to standard. But the rest of the dishes were ok.
Overall service was prompt, and the ambience was very good. No worries gals!! Enjoy your big day!
