review: wedding lunch at goodwood park hotel

*back dated entry*

Location: although goodwood park hotel is situated in orchard, it isnt very accessible...... if you are walking over from orchard mrt, it's a good 15-20min walk since the hotel is behind far east plaza... & there isnt any sheltered connection between the hotel to nearby buildings so it is super INACCESSIBLE in case of rain.....

Ambience: the hotel definitely looks nice from outside since i like those vintage looking building...... i cant remember the ballroom name but it's not the one near main entrance.....

ballroom

if i didnt remember wrongly, my friend had about 20 tables so it shouldnt be the big ballroom but overall the hall looks very grand... i like the idea of having extra spaces at the side for the staff to prepare food and drinks.... i also love the white x champagne theme which my friend choose, it gave me a simple yet grand feel.... 

Food & services: i think the services at goodwood was ok.... i believed there were alot of temp staff, so sometimes you might need to wait for awhile to get your drinks served....

menu

food wise, i would say is quite good... i like the choice of food & seasoning for the dishes....

Price: $1388++/table, this hotel is definitely on the pricey side....

Conclusion: personally i wanted to hold my wedding at goodwood park hotel but the ballrooms were not available during our time.... i think on the whole, it's nice to have your wedding at goodwood if you can afford it..... however, you need to pray hard for good weather since there is no way to get to the hotel without getting wet other than driving =(

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...
