Hi bluegal and deremi,
My co-ordinator was Karen.
Winebos' shop is at Bugis, a main road parallel to Intercontinental. http://www.winebos.com/Weddings.html I got the Blue Koala Shiraz and **** estate Red (forgot the name)...
Bluegal,
I only had a dip in the jacuzzi for 15 minutes. Oh yes, the pre-dinner room service food was excellent... yum yum... We ordered the steak and it's delicious.
deremi,
My guests did not complain. The feedback I got were:
Vegetarian food was excellent.
Muslim food very good and filling too.
Overall the food was excellent.
The only complain I got was food was served too fast... I was surprised cos the usual banquet complain will be too slow. I think fast is ok... At least my guests wun get starved.
I think GPPR banquet staffs are very experience and efficient. The day before the actual day, I called the coordinator, tell her which table insert extra person, insert muslim, or vegetarian, everything was in order and taken care of... and not much confusion or problems during the banquet.

Hi Deremi,
About honeymoon... I am not so sure. Recently, I went to Myanmar with hubby for 11 days. It's our first trip after the wedding. I consider this as honeymoon, but hubby think otherwise. He said we shall go for honeymoon end of this year. We might go to somewhere in Europe this year... Not sure yet.
babe,
Thanks...
ahjo,
you got mail.

Oh yes, something else to share with you gals...
When you go for food tasting, there will be a "dao cha shi fu" from Sichuan to pour tea for you in a special way. He will market their skills and tell you how many "shi fu" there are in Singapore - all his friends. Actually I thought it would be nice cos the "shi fu" said they can do demonstration on the stage before first course to entertain the guests. And told us there are 5 of them in Singapore! To our surprise when I found out more, gotta pay them at a super duper high rates! Each "shi fu" will cost $500 for only one hour! If you gonna have two, that will be $1000 for one hour only! Geez... 1 hour $500 per person. Another thing is, the hotel dun have so many bigger tea cups for all the tables for the "shi fu" to "dao cha".
At that price, I rather spend the money on luxury hotels for honeymoon.

Hi deremi,
I think my coordinator was more kan cheong than me... haha... I was quite bo chap and started to prepare the wedding just 2 months before! Karen already rang the bell that it's 3 months away and that time, I still do not feel the urge to get things in order... haha... I also started to get my wedding card designed and printed within that 1 month. Imagine the stress of chasing after the printer too... hahaha... My printer was very stressed also cos my wedding so near already and they got the colours wrong! I think it helps when I am not working. By the way, I did not use GPPR's wedding card. They are still in my storeroom collecting dust! I wanted to return them, but everytime forgot to bring them with me when I go to town.
I had two dinners. All prepared within 2 months! My caterer for the other dinner was also stressed... haha... cos I ordered the food and decor only 2 weeks in advance. It was a poolside wedding at my condominium
. I decided to have 2 dinners 1 month before the AD cos I cannot squeeze in too many tables at GPPR, so gotta have two dinners... But it was good... we enjoyed both the dinners very much
It was great fun!

Hi Deremi,
The main reason is that I have two dinners and I had to print another set of cards for my poolside dinner. Usually there will be a minimum number of cards to print. For my case it's 500 pieces! Whether I print 200 or 500 cards, it gonna cost the same. Furthermore, I have to print the inserts for the cards by GPPR. So I might as well print 500 cards and print the inserts as well. I also had specially made envelops imported from China.
My sis is a designer and she designed the card for me. I want a Chinese wedding, so I had a very chinese wedding card
. There's quite a lot of work put into the card though... I can remember shopping around for nice ribbons to tie the cards, and the actual tying of the cards... I bring the ribbons and some cards around when I travel, then I will be either cutting the ribbons or tying the cards on the MRT...
I printed my cards in JB. I had a thick card with hot stamping and matt lamination on a 300gm card. I paid about S$350. Plus two different sets of inserts. You cannot get that price if printed in Singapore...

Hi a2002,
could you pls share yr pic with me pls?
My email is [email protected] I am having mine AD in 30 sep. May I ask you what march in music you used? does the hotel provide the music? 1st march song? food presentation song? When is yr dinner start?
I think it would be a good ideal to have a shi fu to do a tea presentation during cocktail service and keep the guest entertained while I m upstairs doing my makeup.

Hello gals,
I have sent you an email.
Desertrosie,
The hotel does have a list of songs for food presentation, and march-in. But I did not use the songs in the list.
I used "Be my guest" from Beauty and the Beast for food presentation. Then the walk-in, I forgot the name of the songs already. My sis chose the songs for me
... It's not a song, but a music that give a slow and mysterious feel. If you are going to walk slowly, I think choosing a fast paced song is not very suitable... Just my thoughts la... I think my dinner started at 8pm. I have already finished my make-up by 7.30pm and I was down there welcoming the guests also
. They do have a proposed "time-table", which is very useful. We managed to follow that "time-table". Come to think of it, I think the L-shaped walk-in is very good cos most people can get to see us!
Initially I also thought it's good to have those shifu to do the tea pouring. But after knowing the cost, in my opinion it's not really worth it. furthermore, there's not enough bigger cups for the tea pouring for every tables.
I have sent you an email.

Hi a2002,
I haven't receive yr pic yet. By the way, the L-shaped what do you mean? yr center stage is still in the middle of the ballroom? then u both walk in together from the far most entrance nearer to the lift lobby?
I am thinking of changing the stage to the far right side where the chinese writings is, so to have a longer march in. I will only be having at least 26 tasbles.
