Hi congcong,
Why dont u take the riverfront Ballroom? I'm taking that as i'm also holding 15 tables. We managed to take a peek of the layout at the Riverfront as they happened to have a DnD that nite. It was just right for 10 tables, but will be a bit squeezy for 15 tables unless they change to a smaller table setting. My 2 cent opinion.

For riverfront, it's can be arrange to do either L march or the straight march. But the coordinator was telling me that the straight march will be able to take in more tables than the L march. I will have to confirm nearer to my date depending on the number of tables

Hi Joanne,
Y not drop them an email on their package available. Im having mine there in Jan08 but it's a weekend lunch, my coordinator is Jeremy.
GCW and Copthorne King, Orchard Hotel and M Hotel are under the same parent company. You have to go down to the hotels to get a feel of their ballrooms as each has their own expectations of their wedding banquet style.
IceCherry, you will have to call them now as i heard that the first weekend of Jan08 has been fully booked. If your date is an auspicious date, do drop them a call and arrange for appointment.

hi min...have you signed up with the hotel? they have a schedule for you wan. usually abt 2-3mths before the AD, then they'll advise you to go check out the florist. the florist has some standard arrangements according to the hotel you sign up with. if u have your own design or idea, may need to top up loh. like the standard is dunno 6/8 aisle stands, but we added 2 more so top up abit loh.

Hi IceCherry,
opps, hope im not too late in replying. Im holding lunch on a weekend so both me and FH opt for the 8 course set meal. Guess the price is pretty standard for lunch in other hotels too , not too sure if i should indicate the package.
It's about 6xx++ per table which also include quite a lot of perks, like free soft drinks, pre cocktail receptions, etc.
Anyone took up the food tasting?

The coordinator that contacted me was Jeremy. Do you gers know of other coordinators that are still with GCW? Like Tammy or Alvin (from the previous posts)? Are they still around?
Wonder if it's possible to request to change coordinators?
Any comments abt the coordinators are appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi,
I have Jeremy as my coordinator too.. so far he has been rather obliging.
May I ask the brides to be here, (i have kind of forgotten how the ballroom looks like) is the ballroom suitable for an oriental theme?
For those who have held their banquet there, how was the deco like? Do you have any pictures to share?
Thanks thanks

Hi Smiles,
With regards to the banquet deco, you will have to go to the florists. I went to June florists and they are very professional. I didnt top up for specific flowers coz mine was champenge roses so that might be the reason. As for things like the table cloth for VIP and guests tables, I speak to Jeremy about it.
For the invitation cards, we went to T Dragon as recommended by the hotel. You need to go down to T Dragon to choose the cards, the fonts etc.

Hi Smiles,
I think I started contacting the florist 1.5 mths before my AD hee. Hmm, unless you need special kind of flowers, then I dont think you will need it. You can request for a packet of petals for your guests to throw when you march in.
I think they can provide you guys with extra inserts but im not sure what are the charges like. You will need to ask them.

hi jojo,
their bridal suite very nice. too bad i didnt take down the photo. they had the word xi on the door near the room number. the bedsheet was from bliss. red in color. very nice. got 1 cake (very wasteful. should have asked more people up to my room to finish it off. got fruit basket. they got 2 types of room. if want good view (singapore river), the room will be small. if want big room, view will be facing road. i choose the small room.

Hi Smiles,
Food tasting is good! We had minimal comments and only changed 1 dish coz the crab claw that day doesnt seem too fresh. Other than that, service is good too. We were quite impressed with the food decoration and the fact that the food seems to be different from the standard wedding banquet that we always had. I think you will enjoy your food tasting too!

I took a peep at one of the weddings. A bit bare though. Probably cos the ballroom is very big and ceiling too high...Hope i dun have to top up to do up the place.

Yup, using June Florist and didn't top up anything, I just ask for xtra rose petals n they give it for free.
For the sash of the chairs, June florist will only provide for 20 chairs (the 2 VIP table) and they dun have pink color when I went there last time.
So I provided them with the sash for the chair, shocking pink for the 2 VIP table and the rest is light pink, and I ask the hotel staff to help me tie the sash to all the chairs. I think normally they only provide the sash for the 2 VIP table, but i found a bit plain, so I want all the chairs to have sash.
