Grand Plaza ParkRoyal Hotel

bluegal,
at least u r better than me I did the whole wedding myself. Till I am so sick and tire of it. Now just wanna to have it done and over with. The cakes, I have checked ard bengawan solo is the cheapest. And you can get it in the card form. Or you check check out choc factory I saw it in the forum look for wedding cakes or something.
GDL is very simple just used hongbao to replace some of the stuff like sewing kit. Depend on what yr parents wants.
Mine is two bttle of liq for two bttle of OJ. 8 boxes of cakes if they want us to return they have to buy more. 8 cans of pig trotters. same like the cakes. and some more don't know what. I won't be ard during the GDL and I am so damn glad.
Tomorrow I am meeting Eric don't know what to talk abt so sianz.......
 


Bluegal I hope this can help you

Hi desertrosie,
Thanks a lot, your file is very useful. It's very detail. Hope the rest of the gals also benefit from your info.
Oh you have nothing to remind him ah? By the way, is there any rehearsal for marching in and those photo montage and wedding song?
 
You are all welcome. stuff that you think you don't need can use hongbao to represent.

Bluegal, I have finished my meeting with Eric, very detail indeed. He bought us dinner too. So nice of him.
Anyway, I arrange a day for the technical guy to try out my DVD, VCD &amp; cd incase last min cannot use.
Most likely will do the rehearsal that day.
If not they will do it with u on the AD itself at 5pm.
By the way their selection of the songs is quite good can just use theirs.
But mine is quite different so will be using my own. As my second march in will be showing a music video instead of music.
Now the foyer is brighter after they changed the carpet. I don't really like the set up fot the VIP table, I still prefer the old one. But it's ok. for chairs I didn't chose the red ribbon shown on the forum I still use back the old design which is the gold sash.
Will be using roses and lilies together. Roses alone too red and lilies alone too white so use both. I like the so called crystal stand quite nice.
 
Hi Desertrosie,
Thanks for the update, overall i think Eric is good lor. Wow there's so much changes from the time we book the banquet. By the way, so now they have two projector?
 
hi desertroise,

wow, thanks for the list, beri detailed ..
btw, u having the longer walkway ?? as shown during the wedding show ??

hi kash,

rem to share with us ur food tasting session ..

Rynryn,
No lah I will stick to the short aisle. As I am getting 26+2 tables. For long aisle require 26tables only and those seated near the screen cannot see the screen clearly.
 
hey desert,
thanks for the updating.
happy.gif

think i also like their old VIP setup.
can we request for pink rose instead of red rose?
 
I don't think so as Eric says it the Cryatal theme. He only offer me roses, liles and peonies. U may want to check with him during yr appt with him.
 
ok! my co-ordinator is brender (duno hw to spell her name).
i will ask her during my food tasting. thanks anyway.
 
Hi all,

I am looking to hold my dinner at Grand Plaza Park Royal. Can anyone share opinions/comments with me pls? like on their ambience etc.
 
hi desert,

when is ur AD? has eric advise when he will meet up wif u again? coz when i asked him, he told me 2 weeks prior to the AD...i think very rush leh...also, he did not give me a very firm answer when i asked him abt march in timing etc....said we will discuss again 2 weeks prior to the AD.....DUH!!!

so nice of him to offer u to meet up wif their tech pple....coz i think it is very impt.

hi rynryn,

food tasting went quite well. i like the chinese restaurant settings v much :P i will call up eric sometime this week to ask abt changing some of the dishes......some dishes were great while others were so so...the sharksfin was very ordinary and the scallops were soggy. parents want me to enquire how much extra to change the roast chicken to roasted goose....etc....
 
hi desertrosie, ya, e walkway is a bit short, miserable hor.. btw, GPP will provide 2 projectors??

hi kash, ive received e letter for food tasting liao, mayb will do it on a wkend.. ive check up sum prices, a few types of mee to choose from, same goes to e dessert, no additional cost, but gona top up $35 for abalone .. etc ..
 
Rynryn,
Eric says for me is FOC, they do charge for the usage. For my case is that I have sign up in the bridal show which include one projector.

$35 per table to top up abalone? Is it worth it or not? Have to be very realistic, as you and yr family mostly likely won't be eating much from the dinner itself.
By the way, I am now very worried that I might not break even the wedding dinner cost.
 
hi rynryn,

enjoy ur food tasting

I just collected my invite card print outs yday...i think we will try to send out the invitation cards by mid Oct.

dunno what else to prepare seems like the wedding date is drawing nearer and nearer &amp; we are still totally unprepared!


btw, ask you ladies, do we need to give the htl person (eg Eric) etc ang paos? I mean, we already paid for their services liao leh...
 
Kash, what I did is for those who I have paid for service, will be a small token as in abt 18-28 depending on the level of service they provide.

Hey all,
I just had my wedding yesterday. I have to say that GPPR hotel have done a very wonderful job.

My mum and sister comment that can see they r really into details like the table setup.

The captains are very helpful and they will guide you throughout the whole event like telling you where to look and smile.

Most of my guest commented the food is good and the prawn is big and very fresh.

All my friends fall in love with my suite. And amazed to see my outdoor jarcuzzi.
They did mention that the aisle is abit short. I would recommend that pls walk slowly during march in or else guests will comment its too fast.

I love the sharkfin soup and the dessert bcos this 2 is what I had throughout the dinner.

I only used 12 fOC from hotel and 14 bottles of my own red wine even though I have friends who really drinks wines.
My mum says the server really control the liquor, she complain that she have to get it herself as they are slow in topping liquor drinks. I have only used 3 bottles of gordon blue.

I was very very please with the whole process till now I am still thinking abt it.
I have an estimated loss of 2k++ overall on the dinner itself. I paid via credit card so that I don't have to count cash at nite, luckily as my mum and husband was very drank and was vomitting in the suite.
I will share some of my pics taken in the hotel when it's ready.
 
hey desert,
really glad that u had a wonderful wedding with GPPR.
actually control wine or liquor is gd leh.
wah loss $2K++ that's alot leh.
sad.gif
just pray hard can breakeven.
so hw's abt their serving service?

anyway thanks for the sharing.
rem to share with us ur mei mei wedding fotos when ready.
happy.gif
 
I have spent abt 10k in total inclusive the abt 2.5k loss from the dinner. My guests says the service is ok in term of changing plate and refilling the drinks and serving the dishes, but my mum and sister complaint that their service is bad as they don't refill the drinks.
 
lovestory,
Infact I have make abt from my fatherinlaw side I eran abt 1k++. from friends we only breakeven. It's my mother side that make the loss. Whatever we make cannot cover the loss so ended up loss abt 2.5k++. But when I put the deposit of 3k, I have already expected to loss the deposit.
 
hi desert,

thanks for sharing ur experience wif us here....pls do share your AD photos.

how many tables u had? only abt 26 bottles of red wine used? wow!!! ur controller very efficient.

sorry to hear about the loss....but i tot nowadays...the mkt rate is abt $80?
 
greengal, I can't really tell you the size of it but I can tell you if you used the hotel card it shld be ok as I stick it at the inner right side of the card behind my insert.
I am selling $15 for everything as the paper I have purchase from popular book store is quite expensive. I be leaving for honeymoon tomorrow coming back 12th if you are interested to see it then arrange a time to meet up. I once send a copy to someone here she didn't buy it and I think she just used the soft copy I send her.

It's good to have a map as can you imagine my photographer can even went to the wrong hotel. All the grand &amp; plaza &amp; park really confused people alot.

Kash, I have had 26+2 tables but only used 24 tables. And so it's like 1 bottle wine per table will do. Even Eric also recommend 3 cartons will do, not too many as wastage. I recommend get consignment is the best. I took 2 cartons from winebos and have return one case back to them. Not forgetting I actually used up 4 bottles of Gorden Blue.
I cannot believe it when I receive a $50 from a couple from my working place that is too much as that's market rate for no show.
I have a few $60 from my ex colleague, I couldn't believe it as that's market rate for resturant! And mine it's hotel.
I have being giving $60 to those that I can't make it and for mine they can't make it they just pretend nothing happened? I really regret giving hong bao to this pple previously.
But I have to say that alot of pple thought that

GPPR is a very low class hotel and some will really give very little. That's been my worries all this while. And true enough I loss so much.
 
OMG, so scary! now GPPR is $838 leh!!
qutie comparable with good hotels!
now must really htink twice about signing!

about the stickers, can measure in cm,
and let me know? what colour is it etc?
i wun copy lah :P juz wanna know what i buying..
 
Hi Desertrosie,
I am expecting making a loss also. It's good to have a mindset that you'll be making a loss so that you won't be so disappointed in the end. By the way, you are getting which package? Actually for us who held in hotel, unless we getting those cheaper package, if not most of the time will be making a loss let alone break even.
 
I got silver package as 8 dishes is good enough bcos we won't get the chance to eat. And we so busy on the wedding day we don't have time for the spa massage at all.
I was lucky as I heard that they have taken away the silver package on weekend. I cannot image if I took the gold or diamond. I gonna loss even more.
Anyway, later I be going for my honeymoon at gold coast. I have plan for Italy and ended up going Australia bcos of the money loss.

greengal the map is black &amp; white in color as I don't want to waste my printer ink as it's quite ex and pple will not keep our wedding card anyway. The size is 7cam by 9cm
 
greengal you are wrong on the pricing good hotels are 888+++ and GPPR is 838nett. With the +++ good hotels is charging abt 1021 per table and the food is not as good &amp; package is not as comperehensive like including seats covers, projector screen, &amp; fresh flower deco and etc in the packages.
GPPR is really value for money. It's good for pple like me who wants to have wedding at a hotel with good location (near to MRT), nice suite with jacuzzi, high ceiling and pillars ballroom, loddy space for cocktail service bcos some pple just need to sit down and private as the ballroom is at the 2nd level and no strangers will comes in and kapo. Big reception table. 2 big projector screen to show montages.
I have to say that GPPR has fulfill all my requirements &amp; needs, on my wedding venue selection. It's near to perfect if only they can have a longer march in aisle.
 
desert,
i agree! do GPPR charge for one more project screen?
gold coast is a gd place...nice for honeymoon.
me too...expecting to loss.
