BTW gals wat is stroller band ah?

suelynn,
must depend on wat perks will they gv during wedding show every year.
 
Hey gals,

Yup, I'll b gg as I haven't signed up with them yet &amp; I must go in order to enjoy the following perks (extracted from the email they sent to me):

WEEKDAY PACKAGES (Mondays – Thursdays Only)

•For Every Minimum 26 Tables Paid, the subsequent 27th Table is Complimentary
•Free Flow of Beer to be served throughout the wedding reception
•Complimentary 5 trays of Cocktails Canapés for your wedding cocktail reception
•Waiver of corkage charges for all wine brought into hotel
•Stroller Band performance during wedding cocktail reception for Gold &amp; Diamond Package
•Complimentary Usage of LCD Projectors


WEEKEND PACKAGES(Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, Public Holidays and Eve of Public Holidays)

•S$2388.00Nett discount for wedding dinner bill
•Complimentary Usage of LCD Projectors
•Complimentary 5 trays of Cocktails Canapés for your wedding cocktail reception


I'm only interested in the $2388 discount and the LCD projectors. Hehe.. Checked with other hotels that there'll b $200 to $300 charges for using their LCD projectors. Hmm..
 
pris,

that's the gd deal leh for weekends package, somemore they hv 2 projectors.
wat is Stroller Band performance ah?
 
according to my coordinator, the stroller band is only for weekdays. cos on weekends, they have to perform at the restaurant downstairs.

its a 3 pc band. that walk and play at the same time.

i tried to request for the stroller band to be included but was declined as mine is on a weekend
 
Ya, mine also on weekend. I'm gg there this Sat to view the ballroom and discuss about the details. 'll try to negotiate with them about the stroller band ok? But i think unlikely to get since Bernard said they hafta perform at the restaurant. Anyway, no harm asking. Hehe..

Anyone using their function room for solemnisation/tea ceremony? The charges is very expensive! I must take their buffet lunch which costs $47nett per pax in order to use the function for free. Anyone out there who managed to get a cheaper offer?
 
<font color="aa00aa">pris,</font>
thanks!
happy.gif

can try bargain for free flow of beer, free Waiver of corkage and 2 nites stay in suite bah.
see wat u need then bargain.
 
hi ladies,

anyone of ur coordinator is Fan*.How's her follow up?
But any ex-GPPR brides wif huge loss or breakeven banquet?..
plus how's the market rate for ang bao for GPPR?

Was afraid that will Burnt real big hole in pocket. Cos mostly tink GPPR 3.5* or 4* hotel.
But i like their high ceiling ballroom..
 
hihi, any of u manage to get 2 nite stay in suite or rooms? cos i planning to have my banquet on mon.. then need a place to stay on sat nite and sun nite... but they offer me 150+++ per night in the superior rm (which is the lowest) without breakfast..
 
hey tatty,
my co-ordinator is brender. she is quite gd.
she told me GPPR is a 4.5* hotel leh. i duno...
ya! their ballroom high ceiling is cosy n nice.
more or less will hv some losses one lah. depends on ur relatives n frenzs pow angpows loh.
this things cant help one. u must hv some preparations.

hey tulipz,
i cant get to stay two nites leh. bt maybe will exchange my one day anni stay to 2nd nites stay loh.
 
argh, i find their rates they giving me for a superior room really lousy... but yet eric dun seem to be budging..
 
Hi lovestory and bernard,

I asked my coordinator about the stroller band last Sat. Tried to trade in the $100 F&amp;B voucher for it. But i found out from him that the stroller band will only perform during the pre-dinner cocktail session not the dinner. So, i think no point getting it cos all the guests will be busy catching up with each other during the cocktail session and they won't appreciate what the band is singing. Agree? Haha!

As i'm taking the weekend package, it's already free flow of beer and waiver of corkage charge for wines and hard liquor brought in. Think we'll bring our own wine coz there's only complimentary 12 bottles of wine. That's what my coordinator suggested coz it would be cheaper than buying wine from them.

Hi Tulipz,

I think it's very unlikely that they'll give u another nite of stay for free. I'm thinking of exchanging the one nite stay for helper to my 2nd nite stay.
 
<font color="aa00aa">hey pris,
icic...agree! no point rite.
will ask my co-ordinator abt the wine izit cheaper get frm them when i go for my foodtasting this coming dec.</font>
 
wah quite smart... thanks for bringing that up.. maybe i'll try to exchange it too =)
thanks!

i not asking for free but a better rate.. some hotels give up to 50% discount..theirs is only a $20 discount without breakfast some more
 
Hey lovestory,

My coordinator told me that they only have one type of wine but i forgot to ask him what brand they are offering. My FH and I know nuts about wine. Let me know after your foodtasting yah! I attended my friend's wedding there last yr. They took the gold package and the food was very nice. Hopefully it's still as nice as before. Hehe..Btw, when is your AD?
 
I just had my wedding at the hotel in 30 sep.
All my guest commented the food is fabulous. But my mum commented they are slow on serving drinks.

Some of the guests may goes to the wrong hotel and so pls make sure you indicate that it's next to peninsular plaza.

I did the march in whereby my huddy and myself enter separately then meet in the center, some of my friends find it weird.

I make a loss of 2k+++. Averagely the angpow is abt 80-130 but there are some who actually gave $60.
 
<font color="aa00aa">hey pris,
icic...that time b4 i sign forget to ask my co-ordinator abt wat brand of wine they offering.
sure, no prob. ya! my frenzs attended wedding there this yr june, she commented the food was gd too.
my AD on feb 06...real soon.
hw abt u, when is ur AD?</font>
 
<font color="aa00aa">hey desert,
u r back! hw's marriage life?
ya! u told us b4...will indicate is next peninsula plaza.
agree! some ppls duno the market rate for hotels so they gv $60 or maybe less than that.</font>
 
Yah Eric is good!!!
By the way, I think it's cheaper to get outside wine. try winebos, it's only $220 for 1 carton of wine and they go on consignment too.
 
<font color="aa00aa">still think $220 for 1 carton exp leh. hmm...maybe others think is cheap.
my budget each wine not more than $18 nett. hehehe....</font>
 
Hey lovestory,

my AD is tentatively on 2 Dec'06. still have a long way to go. Wanted to get 23 dec'06 but it's taken by somebody else. Hmm..

Hey Desertrosie,

Your coordinator was Eric? Did u manage to bargain for anything from him?
 
<font color="aa00aa">hey pris,
ic...2 dec that's my bday leh...keke...
23 dec quite a popular date leh. ya! urs still hv a long way to go...
BTW...who is ur co-ordinator?</font>
 
Hi desertrosie,
nice to hear ur comment is gd.
can't view ur link. Can sen me ur weddin at GPPR? [email protected]

Can check whether holding 32tables will it be too cramp? Wat type/How many type of weddin themes?
thx.
 
thanks lovestory,
Ya, view the ballroom just now with 30tables setup...
already beri beri cramp liao.. Still they mention 32tables stil ok.. Siao liao.. Reali hard to accomodate my guests..
 
<font color="aa00aa">welcome tatty!
happy.gif

so i think 30 tables will be better than 32 tables.
hmm...just invite those u feel like inviting them n will pow big angpow one lah. hahaha...</font>
 
<font color="aa00aa">hey greengal,
i know they hv a function room beside the ballroom. maybe u can use that for solemnisation.
not sure abt the charges or u can call n ask them.
hv u book banquet n BS liao?

hey desert,
hmm...i will prefer nokia 6680.</font>
 
thx desortrosie,
Rec'd liao..xie le. Still pondering abt the walk in.. abit weird
kao_confused2.gif
though cos it doesnt hv a door at centre. so both hv to walk from both side door.. &amp; meet at centre.

Oh, me using 6680.. So far quite ok except abit slow when u access certain application. &amp; bulky. Why not get N70, at least got radio if u're music person.

Yo Lovestory,
ya, agreed 30tables stil ok but afraid it mght increase again as you know hard o gauge both parent might hv more person to invite &amp; guest list gets longer.
kao_sad.gif


Hi greengal,
Me hold solemisation at GPPR blue waterfall front.. Quite nice at al fresco's surrounding &amp; cld be quite hot though.. wif table centre piece setup. aft tat proceed Si Chuan Dou Hua for luncheon.
 
<font color="aa00aa">hey tatty,
hmm..i agree 6680 is bulky, N70 is better bt price wise abit exp.
or u can try GCW their ballroom can hold min 30 tables bah, v big the ballroom n nice the decor.</font>
 
tattyhug>> did they charge you? did you book via si chuan dou hua or GPPR? are you holding your dinner there?

lovestory>> booked banquet but not BS, doing ala carte
 
Lovestory,
Ya, agreed N70 beri steep price but function wise betta than N6680.
FH sort of finalise GPP liao.. So we try to squeeze all guest lists for 30tables. *Sweat*

Greangal,
Me book function room for luncheon via Si Chuan Dou Hua, n they have free usage of waterfall front for ROM solemisation.
Me will be confiming dinner with them soon. But haben sign contract. When's ur AD?

Any idea, could we bring back contract to read before sign &amp; pay deposit?

Cheers.
 
lovestory>> 3rd dec... wanted 26th Nov but taken
sad.gif
anyone here 26th Nov? :P ala carte not really cheaper i guess, but coz we have a photographer friend who would like to do for us the album, so we'll be his test subjects lor hehee

tattyhug>> 3rd dec.. wow.. did u negotiate for it before you sign for the luncheon? we sign up liao dunno whether too late to negotiate leh
sad.gif
if i rem correctly, i think u can bring home the contract first.
 
<font color="aa00aa">hey all,
wana ask ah...do u all pay for JM's dress, mani n pedi expenses?

hey tatty,
ic...i paid deposit on the spot when i signed the contract, after few mths then they sent the contract to us leh.
