Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel
- Thread starter jaslyn
- Start date
thanks for all ur replies... sorry i meant after Apr 2009 with the perks and all... wat elizabeth told me was tt during the Mar show they only give perks for weddings till Apr 09 anything beyond they will charge additional $50 and the package dun have any perks, so it's for those who die die want to secure a particular date... so she say when they allow bookings after Apr 09 with perks she will call me... haven't heard from her yet... for me we are not really particular about the date so we chose to wait... anyone managed to book for end 09 (we looking either Sep or Nov) with perks already??
Hi
im holding my wedding end of this mth =)
i would like to chk with past GCW brides rdg the AP 'drop-in' slot at the recption counters.
Anyone of u used it or u brought along ur AP box?
cos i went down to take a look at the ballroom recently and i saw the drop-in slots for the APs but they are at the extreme ends of the reception table (which is quite long)..i was thinking
1) will it be 'incomnveient' for the guests to drop the APs
2) maybe they will forget to drop the APs since the slot-in is not obvious??
pls advise me.thanks

Hi,
I've not held my wedding yet (mine's next yr) but my coordinator did show me those reception counters with 'drop - in' slots.
For me, I will prob b using ang pow boxes cos I feel that the drop-in slots are not prominent enough. Plus when the banquet starts, it will b quite inconvenient to bring the ang pows along,and can only collect them after the banquet.
I also heard that if using those reception counters with 'drop-in' slots, then the hotel's not able to cover the counters with table cloths and skirtings. (My personal opinion is that the reception desk looks better with the table cloth and skirting..)

Hi,
Actually my fren had a wedding there and she chose the slot-in reception table as we felt that it looks more classy than their table cloth table design. After the deco was put on the table, it looks very nice.
I think you can actually shift the tables to have the 2 slots in the centre instead. What I did for my fren was to do a top "cover" with a slit to put on top of the slot.

Hi all!
just wondering if anyone here has already registered for the upcoming wedding show?
Btw, if we have already signed up with Grand Copthorne recently, can we get complimentary entry to view the wedding setups?
I think for some hotels, they allow couples who signed up already to attend for free..

Hi supergal,
different ballroom got different set up. so the set up for the grand ballroom is not applicable for the other ballroom. for grand ballroom the background is usually the glass panel & landscape while the other ballroom is wall. but other ballroom also have a few pretty nice design to choose from.
grand ballroom is on a different level from the rest (lvl 4). Not so such about the rest.
Hi virgo,
i think the food is the same regardless of which ballroom you go to cos the menu is the same. from mine & my HTB & friend's experience, GCW's food & wine are good =)

Hi supergal,
my friend told me that both waterfront & riverfront ballroom are on the same level, level 3. one of them is pillarless, and if i nvr remember wrongly, it's riverfront.
Hi alamer,
if i'm not wrong for 2009 Fri & Sat package is at $1058 and Sun-Thur is at $908.

hi qunqun,
thanks for the information...yup, waterfront is the ballroom with pillars and when both me and my HTB saw the pictures of the set-up ballroom sent to us, we don't really have that 'wow, it's nice!' feeling.
however, we are still very much attracted by the perks that will be given at the wedding show..but we can't meet the grand ballroom tables on a weekend..so still considering GCW at the moment..

hi all,
anyone has sign up with GCW already? I would like to check if the cancellation and postpone clause stated in the contract is a norm practice for them?

Hi Shice,
Jeremy has moved to corporate events. He was my co-ord but Elizabeth took over.
Dear all,
Just want to share that my wedding last nite @ Riverfront ballroom was a success! Made my parents really proud
Relatives complimented the food & decor (JM Florist)and the banquet operations team were really helpful and assuring.
GCWF bride to-bes, all the best!

Hi to all who have sign up package with GCW,
I would like to know if the cancellation/postpone charges is a normal practice for them? Was this clause inside the contract when you guys sign it? hope to hear from anyone of you soon...
Thanks

Hi Joelle,
what are the cancellation/postpone charges in particular are you referring to? I don't quite recall cos' the contract is currently with my htb. I only know that we're liable to be penalized (should be a certain %) should we cancel our banquet, and depending on when we cancel.
Should be standard practice...
Maybe you can let me know more about what you're referring to and I can check it out on my contract.
You can PM me if you want.

Hi All!
Thank you for all your well wishes!
MstoMrs, when I get my pix fr my photog I'll post them on my multiply and show you all k? cant wait to see them too!
Shice, during one of the food tasting meeting Jeremy revealed that he will move to corporate, and then said that ELizabeth will follow up with us from then on, so tt's how we knew. Subsequently we met Elizabeth up to give her feedback on the dishes, and has been liasing with her right up to our wedding day. Hv you tried calling the hotel to talk to any wedding co-ordinator abt your case?
piggip, guess they are using both. We were given June Florist but the lady did not provide a satisfactory svc, so we enquired with our co-ord and got JM's contact. They dun hv a 'package' or 'themes' per se, but they did show us photos to choose wat we like to hv and stuff. For my decor I did not ask for extra items/flowers, but im happy w how it looked, so no complains really
Joelle, im not too sure.. but i think like wat mstomrs said, it shld be quite a common practice to hv cancellation/postponement charges... exactly the range or percentage of charge, that i really dunnoe..
hope my reply helps!

Hi all, thanks for the reply. I understand that I have to pay a certain % of the total revenue if I would to cancel the banquet. But what abt postpone? Postpone also need to pay?
