Review: Goodwood park hotel wedding buffet

this date is definitely correct since it was the wedding of my future bro-in-law... They had a wedding tea buffet reception at Goodwood park.... I was really excited to attend the wedding there coz I always heard abt the hotel but had nvr stepped into it b4 despite being just next to far east

Location: quite convenient, orchard area, just walk up the slope beside far east.. of coz if you are driving then will save you the trouble of walking up the slope =)
Ambience: The hotel exterior look really nice, those more old English style building = i LIKE... The reception is at pool-side and it was for approx 50guests so was really just a cozy area. the bad thing was that the hotel buffet restaurant was just outside, so it didnt give the grand feel... but for a simple wedding, i think was good enough
Food: it was international buffet but include some asian food. i have to say, the food was really nice at least those tt i tried... the laska was nice & the small sandwhiches were the lovers!!! the variety was also quite large so i would say it wont lose to a sit down chinese dinner
Service: buffet = DIY so not much of service to talk about but then the staff did refill the food constantly so i guess on the whole was quite good
Price: i didnt ask for the exact price but from what i heard, was abt $100/pax... which i thought is a little steep for a tea buffet.. for sat dinner = $1388++/table, min 18

Conclusion: Pity that I didnt manage to c the actual ballroom but i really like the hotel outlook, Yes.. i AM superficial... I guess it will be 1 of my options but sadly, the price is quite steep...i think for Yr2013, banquet is $1388++/table... poor me, may not be able to afford the price.. BUT definitely worth considering...

Review: Traders hotel wedding banquet

i didnt go for this dinner banquet so i am basing this review on his comment

Location: relatively convenient, tanglin area, not near mrt but still got quite a number of buses around = still ok la
Ambience: lobby & ballroom area quite cramp, not too much space... is a rectangular ballroom
Food: sadly, my bf was seated at the malay table, so cant comment on how was the chinese food... but he certainly didnt like the food there... he said everything was just spicy and majority of the dishes were prawn based... i mean cant complain much la, need to be halal = no pork then hard to accommodate ma... & then to match the price for chinese dinner/table, then the best ingredient to use is prawn lo...
Service: quite bad, the waiters were not very attentive.. of coz cant expect to be treated like a king but hey... basic service like serving me drinks when i ask for refill??
Price: $1088++, min 15

Conclusion: the most tempting part is definitely the price, one of the cheapest among the hotels i saw & certainly fit the min number of guests that we need... definitely inside our consideration but perhaps have to compensate abit for the food & services
