hi all
sorry to keep u waiting.. finaly got time to write tis after a long day work..
I attended the function at the crystal ballroom.. here's some personal feedbacks to share :
1. Carpark lots - Definitely an issue for guests. Club has only abt 180 lots available. And if there's 3 weddings held on the same day, a line of cars can been seen along the road outside the entrance queuing for entry as the gantry is controlling the no. of cars entering & leaving the club. Conclusion : It's a must to advice ur guest either to arrival super earli (which is unlikely !) OR provide a map indicating alternative MSCP nearby the club. Me & my hubby went directly to the MSCP since we alreadi knoe in advance there's total of 3 weddings held.
2. Lift 2A @ Basement 2 (used by those who walked to the club frm Bt Batok MRT, frm the side entrance) - Rather slow and can't take many people each trip. Most unfortunate for us was tat the button to get the lift down to B2 was spoilt tat day, so we all did abit of excercise climbing the stairs to the ballroom. Of course u can still wait and try ur luck tat someone inside the lift is coming down to B2...Hope it'll be fix soon..
3. Cocktail reception area - Not very spacious enuf if u are inviting abt 60 tables of guests. And perhaps it's my high personal expectations.. the waitress did not go ard offering drinks to the guests. They were jus standin behind the bar counter. High tables for guests to place their drinks were also very minimal - 2 to be exact.
4. Ballroom, projectors, lightings - all very great and perfect ! Only small issue is tat there's no red carpet for the march in...
5. Ballroom aircon - We were sitting quite near to the entrance, but the aircon is still very powerful. In fact our food gets cold very fast after serving becos of the aircon kept blowing down.
6. Service of staff - I would really say average and depend on ur luck. Since most of them serving us will be temp staff, it reali depends who u get on tat day. For us, we got a nice Chinese national lady, who's very quite nice and polite.
7. Free flow of beverages - Was quite prompt in refillin our glasses until the last few dishes.. guess they are all busying keepin the plates etc back to the ktichen.. Red wine was Corner Stone 2006.
8. Food Quality - Good ! Only thing was it gets cold too fast due to the strong aircon. This reali make me wanna emphasize tat on my AD, I will not allow them to serve the fish jus before the 2nd march in. Tis is becos we had to stop eating the fish to do the toast.. and when the yum seng is over, the fish is not as nice as when it's hot. (tis is only my personal preference..to eat fish when it's hot)
9. Table to table spacing - As the host had in total 64 tables tat day, the spacing of the tables were frankly, very tight ! Basically u r unable to sit comfortably if there's someone else sitting behind u frm the next table. We were quite lucky as the remaining tables behind us were reserved tables tat were not open, so we push in the chairs in order for us to have some space between our body and the table. So for those who are having more den 60 tables, u may reali want to re look at the table arrangment.
Well I hope tis sharing is good enuf for u all..
Pls note tat it's all base on my personal aspect and expectations of things...
