hi lovestory,

wkends still have free beer. they specify it in the wkday package because originally wkday package doesn't have.

went down to view the place this week. the outdoor jacuzzi is located in a large area separated by a door to the governor suite. somehow didn't feel as cozy as what i had imagined though it's still nice.

however i do find the ballroom a bit small, short march in is still ok, but can imagine it will be quite squeezy with 30 tables. and the reception area is rather long and narrow, like not conducive for guest to mingle around.

hmm... now not sure if it's really what i want. actually this is the first time i am viewing a venue, very lazy mah, had shortlisted purely from the information i have. gppr had stood out coz of the good food (si chuan dou hua), nice package and jacuzzi.

tatty,

mhotel was not considered coz my brother will be having his there early next year (my intended AD is late 06), so don't want our relatives to have a sense of deja vu!?

did all the gals here fall in love with gppr at first sight? think i will quicky try to view hia and crown before confirming.

btw, didn't manage to bargain for anything other than upping the car park passes to 30%. anniversay stay have to be traded in with f&amp;b voucher. hope you gals have better luck!!
 
<font color="aa00aa">hey koala,
ic...thanks for reply.
happy.gif

hmm...till now i hvnt see their suite leh. hehehe...only know they hv a outdoor jacuzzi.

actually 1st i when to GPPR, like their main lobby coz got a water fall looks nice.
abt their ballroom still ok, their decor n setup catches my eyes...

ya..agree...(si chuan dou hua) provided gd food.
this also one of the reasons y i chosen GPPR. coz my hubby v particular in food.
seldom hotels serve gd food.</font>
 
koala79,
agreed wif u.. ballroom walkin abit short..so tat's why was struggling with it, &amp; worried tables might increases.. then "siao liao"..
kao_sad2.gif


Like Mhotel jaccuzi lei.. wif their high tech "now u see thru, now u don't" glass btwn suite &amp; jaccuzi..
biggrin.gif


Actuali, if u prefer long walk in aisle.. then u can consider crown.. reali lengthy lei..but carpark coupon onli 30pcs Max.

Wah.. at least car park up til 30%, mine up til 25%.. unable to get anni stay though but stil tinking of trading in spa for 10bottle of wine>> feel lik not worth hor..

U try to hunt for few more hotel 1st la but hv to be fast as next yr end lotsa hotel fully book..

lovestroy,
ya.. cant agreed much... oso luv their waterfall..but heard their banquet not reali by SCDH's chef lei..
kao_confused.gif
But their banquet chef do help out at SCDH's restaurant.
 
<font color="aa00aa">tatty,

really? frm wat i know is SCDH's chef leh...
that time we went for their bridal fair they intro SCDH's chef to us.

i think diff preference bah.</font>
 
Hi Koala,

When is your AD? from what i know, the saturdays in dec'06 are all taken. Initially, I wanted to get 23 Dec'06 but it's taken by someone else and was told that only 2 Dec was available. So, i had no choice but to take it. Maybe u can ask them if anyone cancel their booking?

I think 30 tables is still alrite coz i attended my friend's banquet there last yr, also 30 tables. Just nice...If you have more than that, then it might be a bit squeezy.

Maybe u wanna try Intercon? Heard that the food is quite nice also. All the feedbacks i got for intercon are positive ones. Oops! I shouldn't have suggested other hotels in this thread actually . Sorry gals, just wanna help Koala... Hehehe
 
lovestory,
actually, ask my coordinator.. abt banquet chef from SCDH. But nonetheless, so far their comment on food still superb.
biggrin.gif


Anyone else manage to fight for additonal perks? fail to get anni stay . Haiz. Carpark coupon only 25% ...
kao_sad2.gif
 
hi gals,

my tentative booking is for 5th nov, a sunday, would prefer a saturday actually since they cost the same!! but no other wkend dates left. =(

intercon is too ex for me, hee.. my budget is only around 750nett. and pris, not to worry, i'm sure other newbies like myself appreciate your frank views on gppr and other hotels you like! =)

actually now i feel good again! yesterday went down to hia and furama riverfront (since it's around the corner), no doubt their ballrms are huge, but not particularly special also, hee.. maybe small is not so bad afterall!! and again the food (they advertise is from scdh leh), the nice perks (spa, wine, etc) and the jacuzzi (albeit not as cozy as mhotel's) seems to sway strongly in gppr's favour! so 99% i will confirm on the 18th!

thanks for all the kind advice!!

hi tatty

dun be low morale lah, to have anni stay must give up something also, while for carpak, hee... i guess no difference to us at the end of the day!?

the way you described mhotel, is like what i had orignally imagined governor suite to be. sheesh... but really not an option for me. but how come you didn't choose it then?

forgot to ask eric about the spa thing, is it worth a lot?? i know from winebos, their red wine is 220 per carton (=12 bottles).
 
Hi Koala,

I'll be gg for the bridal show also and i'm 100% sure that i'll sign up their package. Haha! i'm kinda lazy to look for other hotels. Since their package includes everything that i need at a very reasonable price, and the food is good, Why wait right? =)

So, your coordinator is Eric? what do u think about him?
 
hey girls! hmm i might have difficulty going down on the 18 dec and was wondering if any of u might be willing to help me collect my lucky draw gift if i get any??!!

sighs.. anyway eric tries his best to give u perks though he does seem not too cordial some sorts.. more of a competent and serious type =)
 
Koala79,
Oh, u 1 wk ahead of mine. me 12nov.
Actuali, my best pal hold AD at mhotel.. so didn't want to select same place again..but stil luv the bridal suite..

Pris,
wah... seems quite alotsa of BTB.. coordinator all eric. He Mus be beri good le ..
kao_smile.gif


Tupliz,
U same as me ..not able to attend Bridal fair? Ask ur coordinator whether if not present at lucky draw, whether stil able to collect prize other days bor..

RoynSharon,
Not much comment abt excelsior thought...Not much help.. u might want to chk Peninsula Excelsior thread?
 
tulipz,

i share your sentiments about eric! maybe coz he a guy, don't have that extra warmth feeling which i got from talking to annie of hia and selest of frf. but gotta say he seems quite pro and is attentive enuff. somemore can joke, teased me about how i smiled widely when i saw the jacuzzi!? actually when i first contacted gppr, fanny was the one answering my enquiries, but hubby's friend recommended eric, hope fanny not angry!? so overall i think eric's good!

yah a waste if you can't go, or how about getting your mum or friend to go on your behalf, hee.. got free high tea! but you received your invitation already? eric did mention they might not be able to send out in time.

pris

can't agree more with you about the seemingly value for money package. also 1 more good point i rediscover abt gppr is there is only 1 ballrm. coz last wkend i helped out at the reception of a friend's AD, there was another wedding going on and it so happens the bride's name is same as my friend's bride! so imagine there are always blur guests who come up and say they are so&amp;so's friend and we try frantically to find the name (the list is in paper form!?) only to find they are at the wrong wedding.

tatty,

hee.. so coincidental ah? but i do hope there will be some saturdays free up for me to change.

r&amp;s,

i also duno about excelsior, other than rivercity dim sum is value for money and there is a interesting indian restaurant (you order your fill but pay whatever sum you wanna pay)!?
 
hi koala, i am aware of that indian restaurant but my FH doesn't eat indian food... hai...

have you tried??? Good???

oh no, no comments again...

this time sure jia lat...
 
hey tatty hug! yup i received the invitation already... n i'm able to make it down for the lucky draw! whhaha

hopefully get something.. =p
 
tulipz,
Good luck to All of us for lucky draw..
hmm... haben rec'd invitation card yet.. just submit registeration last fri.. don tink in time.. By the way, oso can't confirm going..

koala79,
Sat quite hot fav lei.. But u can try to ask... C whether any other couple give up slot last min lor..
Ya, agreed GPPR oni 1 ballroom.. So won't have such confusion of having 2 bride..
 
lovestory,
Wah..that's fast..excited bor?.. so u got good lohbang for card printing? will u imprint GPPR map? Someone mention earlier to state GPPR at cityhall, scully they go to PPR.

After confirm package, will start raki BS lor.Any BS recommendation for cheap, nice package .. But prefer with low back gown..

happy.gif
the roses are yam colour roses. btw, all my guests complimented the food from Grand plaza is very good...
happy.gif
juz that during march-in, i feel the space is abit cramp loh... other than that, no complains that i can think off...

happy wedding preparations
happy.gif
hv u gotten ur PS pix? if yes, pls share wif me at [email protected]

thanks
happy.gif
 
agree with kash abt the food. i just attended a wedding dinner last wednesday. by right only hubby invited but last minute he found out his table only 9 pple so asked to bring me along!! it was a 26 tables event so space wise is alright. service is quite prompt too with regards to pouring of drinks and clearing of plates.

however i do have some complaints though. found the chinese tea rather diluted (can't be the nature of the tea right?!) and the wedding cake was blocking the view of the stage if you are sitting to the right of it, maybe coz of its small size. must definitely highlight to eric, hope got way to fix it else guest won't be able to see the champagne pouring.
 
<font color="aa00aa">hey kash,
welcome!
happy.gif
i agree abt the food. my hubby tried their food was gd.
hvnt got my PS fotos yet. will share once i got it. hw abt u got PS fotos to share with me?

koala79,
i sure will highlight to fanny abt the issues. thanks anyway.</font>

okie, will wait for your PS photos
happy.gif
ur AD quite soon liao right? how's ur wedding prep?

will send u my PS photos shortly...
 
lovestory,
thanks . have rec'd ur emails. Didn't know ur coordinator Fanny yeh?

Anyone attended the Bridal fair today? Me missed out cos working.. Haiz.. No luck for lucky draw as Mother-in-law &amp; sis went. Anyone won the grand prize?
they comment Z' wedding gown oso not bad too... Don't know how's their package... My FH don't like tube type.
 
Hi tattyhug

Yeah, I just attended the fair today. Have already signed with Karen. I didn't really have a chance to have a look at the Z'Wedding gown. I only arrived at 4pm. So missed the early part.
 
Attended the show today. Never really see the Z's design cos we already confirmed with another BS. Anyway, got a few ideas to steal from.

Our co-ordinator is Eric, great guy. Saw the suite, the Oriental and the Governor. The latter has got a outdoor jacuzzi, cool dead. Nice package deal too.
 
madrock &amp; starcom,
Great..U guys won anytink? But nonetheless, their perk is betta during bridal fair.
Wonder who's the lucky grand prize winner..
kao_confused.gif


Starcom,
Yup, agreed for Governor suite so much better &amp; spacious &amp; so in luv wif outdoor Jacuzzi too.

Yo tupliz &amp; pris.. How abt ya? Sign up liao bor?
 
<font color="aa00aa">kash,
okok! ya..mine coming soon.
hmm...so far so gd lah. almost settled everythings liao.

tatty,
welcome! ya...my coordinator Fanny too.

congrats to all the gals who signed with GPPR.</font>
 
<font color="aa00aa">kash,
thanks for sharing, got it.
happy.gif

u r v pretty n slim leh. so envy...
happy.gif

nice fotos...like ur black gown v nice n sexy.</font>
 
Hi tattyhug

Never got anything. Actually I just went down to sign up and also the lucky draw :-)
But too bad didn't get anything :-(
We just talked with Karen for about 30mins then we closed the deal liao.
Don't know if this is too fast or not.
 
30 mins and you think it's fast?

Haha, ours ended in less than 15mins. Btw, anything that you ask for outside the perks and package? Care to share?

We only got the spa and F&amp;B vouchers exchanged for 10bottles of red wine.
 
Hi starcom,

We didn't exchange the spa and F&amp;B for wine. Cos my wife will likely be using it.
We manage to get one more extra room for helper. Since most likely the girls and guys will not like to share. So we have one for male and one for female.
We also asked for more complimentary parking.
That's about all.
Menu wise I think u can do a swap between the three menus except certain dishes.
 
hello lovestory,

thanks for your compliments
happy.gif
me waiting to see your pix too!

btw, do remember to cherish every single moment of your AD, coz it passes by so fast.....
