Hi Melissa,
you ask here, sure ppl prefer GPPR one ;P
i think depends on yuor priority, price? location? food? ballroom?
think most of us love the ballroom here for its high ceiling and no pillars.
crown ballroomis a tad older, got pillar (iirc) but got a nice long march in (some ppl this is impt, though I prefer mine not so long)
mine is upcoming already... but i find my tables like a lot of empty seats, as in 7-9 ppl per table. then cannot anyhow put 1-2 ppl so lonely sit there among strangers right?
wonder anyone else face this? i become very worried... wondering most of those whose wedding had passed, how was the AP takings for the night?

hi greengal
its best u sit down & rearrange ur guest lists again..for example, u cn take out couples & put them into the empty seats or mix them wif ur hubby friends or colleagues.
i did face sm dilemma earlier. but i managed to rearrange & in the end, i think i only have a table that have abt 2-3 empty seats. & the rest all turn up.
i have guests who gave rather generously..so they helped to cover those that gave unexpectedly low..

Hi Greengal,
I agree with Minkey too.
I helped my friend to co-ord the tables on her wedding banquet. Sometimes you have no choice but to re-arrange to ensure that all seats will be occupied.
Even that night itself, some of her guest didn't turn up and I got to check with guests of the most empty table if they mind moving to another table.
Most of the guests are very understanding and co-operate cos they know it is costly. In the end I managed to help her save 1 spare table.
The precaution is that you put the relatives together cos they are usually the hardest to move around.

HI Michelle,
When is your big day? GPPR has only 1 ballroom so if its booked on your big day then you will need to forgo this hotel.
The wonderful thing about this hotel is that the ballroom is pillarless, therefore you will not face complaints that guests are blocked from seeing your march in.
Only setback is that the ballroom isn't very big, max can put up with 35-38 tables. However, with 32 tables, the place is already very cramped.
In terms of food so far the feedback is that its very good. Food is said to be from the Szechuan Tou Hua Restuarant.
My fiance is a Wedding Photographer and had took several weddings at this hotel. He said that the bridal suite is really beautiful and grand, great for pre-dinner photos in the room.
There was a couple who wanted my fiance's service but too bad their wedding date coincide with ours and the best part was they also wanted to book GPPR. Ha Ha ha and so the fastest couple won!
Hence, I did not regret booking this hotel as my venue.
P.S If you can afford to wait look out for their Wedding Show, that's when you can get really good deal for the banquet.

Dear XHZ,
His partner will be taking our AD photo and another partner will be our videographer.
But my fiance did tell me that he is quite immune to the big day's SOP already, having been through so many couples'.
So I told all my wedding helpers to tekan him hard hard to make the day forever memorable to him

Hi, can anyone share 2007 packages and AD photos? thx a lot!

Hi Michelle,
It will be best if you could get the package from GPPR themselves. I guess none of us replied bec we may have gotten different packages, different prices due to the entitlements, promotions and sales person. The best alternative is to get it from the hotel and make an appt to view the hotel ballroom, seeing is believing, pictures can be deceiving and subjective. It may looks nice to me, but not to u. If they still did not reply your email, you should call their frontdesk to check, and briefly commented that no one responded to you, maybe they will do something to compensate, i not sure....haahaa....but service in hotel line is very impt, if someone complains, it reflect bad.
all the best to u

Hi Michelle, I agree with MomO. Each of us will have a different package. It depends on what are your requirements n needs. You can discuss with the coordinator. Ya, I agree that its quite difficult to reach the sales person @ GPPR. You can try to look for Michele, she is the Senior Banquet Sales Manager. She is very nice and provides great service.
Not only diffcult to get sales person @ GPPR....All BTB got to be careful when you wanna book GPPR as their sale executive Veralyn is super lousy....NO patient, Miss No No No, every single word out from her mouth make you feel uncomfortable... she is representing GPPR, a wedding co-ordinator need to be someone willing to listen, share & at least cheerful. Our Miss No No No can hardly put on a smile & her face expression simply tell you "I'm tired, dun mess with me" Who will wanna had a wedding to be prepared by her??? Definately answer is NO... How I miss their ex-coordinator 3 years ago who done a wonderful job for my little sister... really really very DISAPPOINTED with GPPR. If u really want to book GPPR, use other sale manager k ^^
hi all, just went to plaza parkroyal hotel for wedding dinner. dun know if this is the same place. its at beach road...but it was GREAT! there were 2 ballrooms and 2 weddings going on...however, there was a staff to direct you to the correct wedding. hahaha....abit funny. but the service was great. very prompt. plus good food......yummy!

Hi Emily,
I already signed up with Sattine Bridal. Actually I was comtemplating btw MBR & Sattine.and in the end I choose Sattine as my hubby-to-be likes the photography style at Sattine and I personally feel that MBR have quite limited range of gowns. Its just personal optinion. But I think MBR is a good one. Thanks for making recommendations!!

Hi everyone,
We just had my AD and most of our guests commented that the food and service was good. They also like the serving of canapes during the cocktail reception.
Both the banquet manager and the operations manager overseeing the 3 weddings at the hotel that night, came n gave us suggestions on what to do next. They constantly remind us so that we will not be nervous and forget what to do next. The banquet manager will also constantly update us on the consumption of wine and hard liquor.
For first dish presentation, instead of the normal song with the lights effects, we showed MTV of the song. They have 5 mtvs to choose from and while your guests are captivated by the mtv on screen and lights effects, the servers will enter the ballroom with the first dish. The server assigned to the VIP tables are experienced staff and not part timers, they'll also remind us on what to do next.
Although their carpark is small and can be quite squeezy, once their carpark is full, the hotel staff will valet park for your guests free of charge at the carpark next door. Hence I only used half of the complimentary parking coupons.
We had 29 tables and is not too cramped. The tables are laid out to fill the whole ballrooom and the pillar free and high ceiling of the ballroom makes it look quite grand. Not forgetting the exclusive space outside the ballroom for cocktail reception if there's no function going on in the rooms next door.
We had the Govenor's suite which has an outdoor jacuzzi, from which we can only see the upper floors of nearby Excelsior Hotel. The suite has a cigarette smoke lingering in it and is starting to show signs of deterioration.
Overall, we will strong recommend this hotel to those looking for good food and service and a pillar-free ballroom.

Hi momo,
my photos are not ready yet. dun worry about the short march in. what we did is to walk slowly, take ur time n smile to the guests. entering from both doors and meet in the center. for the second march ins, we switched doors to enter... still enter from 2 doors and meet in the middle. maybe about 1 min to 2 mins for the march in.

I am helping my cousin to source for wedding venue. Can someone share with me the 2007 package. [email protected]
Well, hope the service provided by hotel's coordinator wouldn't really affect the wedding dinner. I met up with Vera, she is not that helpful, only doing a Q&A session with us, didn't really provide info for the wedding package, and her attitude was so so only. I don't know whether they are aware of it or not, the service provided by the coordinator is equally impt as the wedding package it self. Still hesitating to choose GPPR. So far, the best coordinator I've met is Steven from Marina Mandarin.
Hi Lavis,
Dun worry about Vera, if you really dun like her service, try asking for a change of coordinator. Saw in this thread before Vera's boss is Michelle and she is very good. I do not have her contacts. For us, everything we liase is thru email and I print them out. Lucky on the actual day when discussing with the banquet manager on duty, only minor details were left out and able to rectify on the spot. The banquet manager and operations manager on duty that night were very much better than Vera.
If your concern is about cost and quality of food, then GPPR will be a very good choice for u, unless Marina Mandarin can reduce their price. They are pricey if I'm not wrong.

Hi Lavis,
Our guests commented that the food was good and the ballroom quite nice, pillar free and large screens. Not many heard of this hotel but you tell them its near to Funan Center and Penisular Plaza, they roughly know where. Somemore we have included location maps together with the invitation cards?
They going to change name again? Guess more people knows its as Grand Plaza Park rather than Parkroyal on Coleman St.
