hi flowergal... congrats again
table filling is one of the stressful part, good that yours was pretty filled up! i can only fill up to 19 plus, but will be paying for 20 tables, because we r keen to book the whole place... sigh! shall stop thinking/stressing about it and move on!
Thanks for your tip for the changing room... i have feedbacked to Shirley about the opacity of their curtains too, but accordingly to her, guests cannot see inside the room when the room lights r dimmed. I will def take note!
feeling quite stressed up lately!! mood swings r a big rollercoaster.... must calm down.. all will go well hopefully...

the changing room cannot be seen. They will dim the lights so u can change inside. But i stand behind the pillar and change very fast coz the door has glass panel. hehee..
yap, when i went there to recee, shirley also told me it can't be seen. But think we will feel insecure lah cos alot of windows and glass panel around haha.
maybe hide behind the pillar like wat stefanie did lor and ask jie mei to lookout.
btw, wanna ask...i intend to pay the deposit by cheque and the payee name i was given is not GS...something like ....elite thingy... anyone can double confirm?
THanks!

hi gals
dun worry abt the changing room. stand near the big pillar then it's ok. anyway, u'll have friends to help u so just get them to 'block' abit will do. anyway it takes less than 5mins to change(with help)..hehe.
just word of advice for brides to be...i thnk it's a better idea to have one big plate in the middle than individual servings. cos i chose to have individual servings and some of the food served were not hot enough. Also, if ur tbl happened to be half occupied then they serve u half only...they don't even put all plates so that guests may have extra helpings. I didn't highlight to them cos i only realised it after my wedding.

Hi sunrays
I did highlight this to shirley cos been to 2 weddings and realise that too.
she mentioned that we could request earlier if we want all the servings to be placed. She also mentioned that individual servings have advantage when some of the tables have more ppl, 11 or 12 and some tables have less. Shirley say they could see which tables need more serving then they give.
so do remember to mention abt it for the rest of BTB. Me going to place deposit soon this week.
cheers!

ice cosy,
yah... Sally also suggested individual serving, I prefer big plate serving though...esp some of the guests might be picky on food.
I hv just made my deposit last week but dun remember the name but not worries, u can write the payee's name when u meet up with Shirley/ Sally. That's what I did

i suggested to shirley to have her staff present the whole dish to the table and tell the guests it would be portioned out accordingly...
thought it would be nice to show guests the whole dish, and subsequent individual serving could help the dinner get on more smoothly and faster... guesss some tables with less than 10 could distribute to those with 11, 12 guests
just a suggestion...

Hi All,
My gowns were both backstring types so took quite long to change. My bridesmaid n i saw tat the ppl can peek in thru the outside window along the corridor coz e curtains nt covered well. I panicked while changing although tried 2 hide at a corner...haa
As for food, actuali if u place ur guests well in 10pax table, then big plate serving is ok. Guests r afraid tat individual serving will be little. Aiya, tat nite i suddenly dun hv much appetite n din manage 2 eat all e dishes displayed in front of mi! i even gotta force myself 2 swallow a mouthful only. So sad. Even though they packed e remaining food for us, we dun hv time 2 eat coz after tat we went ktv till 4am w sme frens. My laogong was dead drunk.
Another advice, pls remember to place ur order for breakfast and hang e ordersheet outside e rm b4 3am so tat they will deliver to ur rm. Otherwise it be impossible to get up early to go for breakfast. We forgot abt tis.

Hv u meet up w Sally 2 rehearsal and pass her e cd for playing the music? On e AD, Sally will inform u when n wat u shd do..dun worie too much! Rest ur mind n try 2 relax, n surprisingly i reali did so..On ur AD, best is to remember 2 take a short nap in e noon no matter wat. Otherwise u will nt hv gd mood 2 endure throughout e whole nite.

If anyone has a copy of the floor plan, and the dinner fotos of GS, please email to me at [email protected]
From the previous comments, and it seems that Shirley and Sally are both coordinators there. So who is more approachable and frenly? Shirley sounds a bit 'unfrenly' over the phone.
Understand we can still have the front part and the function room, but other parts of the place will be opened to public. Will they be using anyting to block, and differentiate us from the public? Anyone less than the min. requirement of 20 tables but still uses the GS for wedding. Pls share your experience.
Can I have a mixture of round tables, as well as those cushion semi circle seats?
Btw, anyone managed to negotiate for a wavier of wine corkage? Or to reduce their corkage to like $10++ per wine bottle?
Any comments/ pics will be appreciated.

- Shirley is the manager there. I thk Sally is her assistant. Shirley is abit more stern, Sally more friendly. But both as helpful and professional.
- the live band n singing is free. No extra charges.
- if 13 tables, other parts will be opened to public. But so far, dunno any1 who did less than 20 tables so not sure abt the arrangement n any blocking or not. You shd chk with Shirley/Sally.
- wine corkage can be waived. Nego for it.
- i will email u my fotos from grand shanghai

It helps when u try 2 cast ur fears aside. i din reali do any rehearsal at all except to pass shirley e cd. Trust GS to do a gd job 2 make ur wedding banquet a success beco they did so for us. Ask ur hubby 2 liaise w emcees & find out where 2 march-in since he will hv mre free time than u. Jiemeis will help alot too. Give em tasks 2 do. Initially we had only 1 emcee bt sme1 else volunteered too.
