Hi Yukie. I think i spoke to Peggy the last time i was there. she seems nice... i personally find that she is able to give me more advice than the other florist i went to. Peggy will like tell me that this looks good, that doens't match kind of thing.
Keep me posted of your appt with them...i still haven decide on the stage deco yet

wowowow... the thread is moving...
Hi Hazel, yes, the standard package only comes with 20 pieces of 8R. I have to topup to get more photos and bigger album. I think most photographers standard is 20-piece. I think photographers like PhotoLanguage, Chris Ling, Montage Andrew Choi all give 20-pieces.
Topup can be quite ex right?
but me vainpot...want more photos...hahah

Actually can i know why u all choose GCW?
Hi Jesmine... for me n hubby, it's b'cos of the Grand Ballroom. It's big, it's tall, it's pillarless, it's grand n it's quite new.
N of cos the perks r good...! N oso u hv the whole recep area outside to yrself!
Initially i like Merchant Court. But gave up after i had a apt wih them. Cos find them quite unflexiable, ballroom is small, not grand enough n the ballroom looks old (mayb b'cos of the color).

Hi Gers
Wat perks were given by GCW during the wedding show? Hope u gers can update me on that coz I was unable to make it for the show. Is there a very big difference in price or other things in the package if we sign on normal days and during the wedding show?
Hope u gers can enlighten me coz I'm in the mist of making the initial preparation

Hi odiey... The card were fm the htl range(the red 1 wif 3 fold tat opens like a door). Printed 280 pcs, hot stamping, matt ink, 200 maps n 1 icon. U must act like u intend to let others print the card cos others is cheaper(which is true tat others is cheaper, but u must do some homework b4 u go dwn, like hw much others r charging). They will keep explaining to u y others is cheaper. Bargain the soft way not the hardway.
My AD is 05/09/05...

Tks Yukie... Ok, will do some research before going down. Will be printing the same qty as you. Hot stamping in matt ink? sthg new to me. Are the maps printed on a separate sheet? Btw, any trouble looking for the T-Dragon's shop? Is the entrance next to the Excelsior Hotel? Tried looking for it once, but the whole place was dark and dodgy...
So our wedding is abt 2 weeks apart...
Anyone printing personalised red packets? My frens did that thru Jasvy. Quite nice...
Hi BugBear
There will definitely be ppl who give very little even if they know it's a 5* hotel. Can only hope that the loss will be minimised.

Jesmine,
for my case, mine is just the waterfront ballroom...so there will be 2 pillars there...
I had been to a few hotels...GCW's suite room definetly not that great but not bad either...
Location definetly is inconvenient....
But I really like their foyer area...the feeling is gd...
I really fall in love with the hotel when I see the ballroom...
The price is ex and no free flow beer but I really like it....so, just hope that I dun make so much losses
Yukie,
U mean U print 200 cards with map using hot matte stamping for $200?

yup, i also like the idea that it is out of city area, so guests will not have the excuse to come late, but public transport is kind of limited there.
Actually i kinda estimated my losses already. I am not so particular about losses...afterall, i think the moment we decided on throwing a banquet, we should expect some losses (beer, wine)

heheee...think we never tot of gaining the AB....
actually, I not so worried abt the wine...its the beer part that's frightening....its counted by barrel...once opened a new barrel, dun care if it can be finished...
think 20L abt 60 glasses?- average abt 1 tb drink 2~3 glasses... for the whole banquet
just hope that my guests are wine drinkers...at least its counted by per bot.

heheh...i estimated my losses to be abt 10k...including those tables given to my parents, beer and wine.
Hazel, i think these days ppl drink more wine than beer...so i am only catering 60l beer for about 48 tables. To cut down on consumption, maybe u can consider serving beer after 1st fanfare...meaning don serve beer/wine during cocktail. i personally feel that it's wastage to serve beer/wine during cocktail...cos ppl mingle ard, walk away and the glass of beer/wine will be removed.

Morning Dorami!
Dun think there are fans, but it's actually quite cool if you have it in the late afternoon as the hotel building blocks the sun... At least that was what happened when we went to view the place in the evening.
Crossing my fingers very badly that it will not rain!

Think this thread has some indoor pics of the paradiso room: http://www.singaporebrides.com/forumboard/messages/539/223136.html?1101733563
I think the outdoor costs $588, but better to check with the hotel cos I dunno if prices have changed!

hi Yukie
I just went down to print my cards, the sales person is not easy to bargain. Anyway, we din like the hotel cards and top up for other range. T-dragon is not cheap at all. Every little thing also must charge. The only complaint abt GCW is the quality of cards they provide and we have no choice but to use their printer if we need to change cards. In the end T-dragon is the one that makes money.
So did you go down to June Florist to check it out? Think i'll prob go down and take a look at both florist. Not sure how's their decor.
