Hi all GPCH BTB,
I had my wedding dinner last friday at GPCH. Everything went well and i received positive comments on the food and the whole setting of the banquet. Everything has been well taken care of by the hotel staff. My husband and I were glad that we have chosen GPCH for our wedding.

Many thanks! I was still hesitating when a close friend of mine feedback to me that during her recent dinner at GPCH, the food was only so-so despite being a saturday night dinner, featuring lobster salad and etc.

dear fellow GPCH brides / grooms to be...
I have finally signed my contract with William yesterday. He is a very nice and patient man whom you can deal with confidence. From his accent, I think he is from Hong Kong, should be very good in cantonese. So for brides / grooms who are cantonese, it will definitely be a added personal touch. ^^

one thing to clarify, that close friend of mine was an invited guest.. came as quite a shock to me, coz i been to GPCH twice(a couple of years ago) and remembered the food being nice and in big portions.
Nana (mrs Kan): Congrats on the successful banquet you have... I am sure you are relieved that it is over but yet a bit lost (after so much time planning for it)
weixiang: Ooh, you have signed!! Good for you... i think for the food concern, it is never what you can fully control... even the chefs may not...
I have been to a very "wedding banquet" hotel at Havelock Road several times recently and despite the same menu, each time the outcome is different... the weekday and weekend is not the same.. and it seems to vary by the no. of tables as well. And the review of the food in the place is supposed to be very good and quite famous.
I can imagine in the kitchen, the chef cannot be doing the cooking for all 40 tables himself.. so if there are a few weddings or a huge number of guests, the standard may drop a bit.
But the good thing about GPCH is that there is only 1 couple per nite and the max no. of tables is 30... so i think cannot go very wrong... dun worry too much about it!

kevely> I signed up the package in 2008 so I think it's not really relevant now =)
We chose this hotel because of the pillarless ballroom, location, reasonable and affordable price which I am sure most of the couples who have signed up would also agree.
weixiang> i am quite surprised that your friend said the food was only so so... cos i have been following this thread ever since i signed up with GPCH, i always see positive feedback about the food. When is your big day? I am sure you will not regret your choice.
Blur btb> you are quite right to say that i feel a bit lost now... i feel so free now... the last few months was so packed for me as i was still studying part-time. I am glad that everything went well.
I think when it comes to food...it can be quite subjective cos different people have different expectations.

Hi all GPCH couples,
I am considering holding my AD on a Friday night (Sapphire package) at GPCH. However, I find that the menu is not that impressive as compare to a 9-course dinner for Ruby package.
Anyone know how much is needed to top up for per table if i change the menu from Sapphire to Ruby package?
Appreciate inadvance for any advise or comments.

hi luckystar78sg, I have thought about this thing as well.
for the top up from sapphire to ruby package, you need to pay the exact price difference between the 2 packages. The prices will be the same even though if you are holding on a Fri/Sun night.
After much consideration, I have decided against the top up as it will be very rush for Fri/Sun night dinners. I have attended a number of Fri night dinners. Most of them started only at 830pm, one started as late as 9pm.. The whole thing was a mad rush... The above experience are not applicable for GPCH, as i have yet to been to WD @ GPCH where such packages were taken up..
you might want to take my advice into consideration. =) cheers.. Look for William, he can advise you accordingly.

Hi Weixiang,

Can email me at [email protected].

Luckystar78sg, need not worry about the food. I have been there for wedding banquets before.. The portions are big and nice.. In fact, there will be a wedding show sometime in March next year, according to william.
My AD is in Jan 2011.. Haha.. I know I am ks but then need to secure and lock in the date.
My package and perks can be found here
http://singaporebrides.com/hotels/grand-park-city-hall/index.htm
One thing you might need to take note, the package is only valid for bookings confirmed by 31st Dec 2009... You will need to act fast!

Hi Weixiang,
Thanks for sharing.
Check with you, how much deposit is needed to pay for the package? Any credit cards got further discount?
When will be the date for tasting of food? Any idea?

Hi Nana,

I am also looking into booking with GPCH soon!

luckystar78sg: Further to what weixiang has shared, i would like to add on about the credit card discount.
No other cards will give you further discount direct from GPCH but you can apply for the Standard Chartered Manhattan Card which gives cash rebate.
The maximum is 3k which will give you 5% rebate (in 1 quarter), so if you pay your deposit with that, can already get 5% off.
If can afford, then can continue paying 3k each qtr until your wedding (if you can lah.. otherwise the interest incurred will be more than the rebate then bo hua liao).
Hope this helps! I did that for mine... husband signed with his SC Manhattan Card.

Hi Blur btb,
Thanks for sharing. But, still abit blur..my husband had some savings..so guess wont be a problem paying the credit card bills. so long can get back some cash rebate. It will be useful to apply the credit card.
So means after paying $3K using Standard Chartered Manhattan Card...then can get back 5% rebate cash. After that how? Can elaborate more on how and when to continue paying $3k each qtr?
By the way when is ur AD? Congrats in advance.

next showcase is March 2010... but then william has mentioned among all the showcase, the current package is the most worth it... by Jan 2010, the prices will all be revised upwards accordingly, some $40-$50 per table. Other hotels have in fact increased theirs already for 2011.
the perks will also be reduced... Luvyel, my advice is to go for it now if your wedding is anytime from now till end March 2010.

Weixiang,
Thanks for the link which you provided. Most likely, I will use the credit card to get some cash rebate.
Will you be able to email me the contract with GPCH? Or maybe, just the perks or things they include in the package? If you are not comfortable with it. It okie.

then no choice, what i do know is that the current promotion is the best so far from GPCH.. the past promotions perks were not as good... and once the promotion dateline is over, the perks will lasped...
be prepared for some $50 increase in price.. quite reasonable.. compared to HIPV, which charges astonishing high...

thou nt the best, hope the perks at the next showcase will b good. Dun really like HIPV, after their reno, the 3 blocks are still there. I prefer pillarless.
Saw the virtual ballroom of GPCH at the homepage. The march-in to the stage is only 3 tables. Do you know how is the march-in like?Dunno whether the tables can be arrange to make it longer?

the cons for GPCH is the short march in.. if you want a longer march in, note that it can only be done if you hold fewer tables..
you want then take a detour, as in a L shape.. which my wife strongly protests against.. reason being, L shape indicates difficulties in the marriage. you may choose to disagree..
straight march in is the most ideal.. =)
