If u can inform the hotel by 6pm while they are setting up for the night, they should be able to remove the 2 tables. If only at 8pm, then the 2 reserves tables will be too late to be removed. You will simply have 30 tables in the ballroom- 28 occupied and 2 vacant (reserve tables).

Hi w3n, I had seated 11 guests in one table and seems alright. But of cos, if a couple of them are bigger size, then probably will b a little squeeze.
I got about 3 tables with 11 guests that time.

I had mine two weeks ago too n Janice is really good.
Food is very good. Even fussy guests also commented that is good, fish fresh n wasabi prawns very special n nice. Some minor mistakes here and there but overall very happy that everything went on smoothly!
Decor n ballroom is nice but yah the march in was really short n my pg kept asking me to walk s...l...o...w...e...r lol coz I was too anxious n walked very fast!

about the same time for the invites. when i email her to ask about the food tasting, she told me about the invites too. subsequently, there are emails almost every week. when i thought of anything to ask, i will email her. i think is not important whether who call who lah as long as everything is in place and goes on smoothly =)

If I remember correctly they only allow weekday dinner, it is in the contract but you might want to double confirm with your coordinator

Last week when I went to select my card, the lady say does not come with the map, have to pay $$$, i didnt ask needa pay how much...

Hi,
Can somebody give me Janice's mobile no or DID no? I had such a bad experience at GPCH yesterday at the wedding show. Few days ago, I met Ivy Yio, a wedding coord at GPCH. Although she wasn't exactly very friendly but I found her to be reasonably professional and for 2 days I was really quite keen to sign up the package as I was happily discussing with my cousin what else to negotiate. My fiance hasn't had a chance to discuss the package with Ivy so I brought my cousins and fiance to the wedding show yesterday.
What a disappointment! Ivy was nonchalant when I asked her to go through the package with us again. She simply said, oh, it's like what I told you couple of days ago. And then when she explained the package to us again, she sounded so sianz and impatient. She also refused to budge on the perks (and her attitude when she did so was also one of 'ai4 mai3 shua4'). Then when we were about to leave, my cousin asked for complimentary parking passes, she was told that only couples who had booked a package can get them. Hey! I mean, I did tell Ivy that I will be bringing my fiance to come negotiate again - it can't be the case that my fiance had only seen the coordinator and the package once and then we straight away book the package right? I asked a staff for the parking pass (my thinking is if you want to be so stingy, I will act stingy as well and insist on the pass). She kept asking me if it's true I'm in the midst of a negotiation and even asked me to wait for a long time for Ivy before they grudgingly give me 2 passes for my cousin and myself. Honestly, we really love the ballroom and cocktail area (I was willing to close one eye on the sleeziness of the surrounding environment that the hotel is in) but I can't tolerate such a behaviour. If I want to hold my wedding there, I'd rather go with Janice - I saw her at the wedding show and she seemed really nice. I wished I had initiated the negotiation with her instead of Ivy. Such a disappointment.
Appreciate it if someone can give me Janice's direct or mobile no.
Thanks!

well, i had my solemnization and AD done in GPCH in March 2010 & Jan 2011... it was top notch then..
perhaps GPCH services have really gone down the drain...

LuvyveL,
Do not worry too much. Gather your photos and arrange to sequence. I was quite blessed, my sis-law did the photo montage for me. Anyway, prior to your AD, do a AV testing on the montage. I did a testing like 4 days before. I made arrangement with Janice while I just link up with AV technician on that night. I did like a AV trial testing run for the event with my two photo montage and also the march in music.
I think it is important that you try and test out the video format, burn and convert into DVD and roll out the testing for compatibility. Alternatively bring your laptop (same one used for AD) for testing.
Like what Jiening says, have your own helper. I had my AV helper just in case, but all will be coordinated well before with the AV technician and operations/banquet Manager

I wrote to Janice much earlier, 2-3 weeks before hand, even before the photo montage was done up.
Still deciding and planning the type of music inside the montage and march in music.
Basically the correspond was more like the confirmation of my testing date on which day evening, and after which i just coordinate directly with the AV technician on that night.

To all brides to be,
Personally I feel a lot of pro-activeness and preparations involved.
Well you may call me kiasu, but i think im quite blessed because of good bunch of helpers/ brothers who coordinated during the whole preparations. For me, mine was lunch, so basically i had to ensure the program execution to be precise and prompt to timing as per scheduled.
I want my bride to be happiest, prettiest, stress- free to enjoy the whole process on her big day

Yes, i think you can get your montages done over some software with the music. If I did not remember wrongly, my sis-in-law used this software Photodex Proshow gold for the montage. Hope it can work for you. After testing and if time permits, you can even change other songs of your liking.
You can have a general feel in the ballroom when the music is played.
The experience can be a pre-run for your actual day, even for a rehearsed march in too. =)

I have no idea how long the trial version. But the software does look impressive. As i was given the walkthrough of the program, it looks simple. Probably need to familiarize the toolbars, importation of files and to do some testing of the music.
I am no expert but I feel the learning curve should be reasonable, if you have 2 months or so for the preparations. Unless of course you need to touch up on the photos , i.e photoshop, cropping photos. I have 2 sets of photo montage. The difficult part will be probably the childhood montage part because of the quality of the image of the photos. You can also blend 2 or more music within the montage.
Cheers, Happy learning.
