[Samsung Wedding Assistance] 2024 On-site Consultation Review & Tips: Secure a Banquet Hall at Seocho Office ASAP!

✅ It's highly recommended to book your Samsung Wedding Support Team (Samsunggyeolhon Doumbang) in-person consultation as early as possible and schedule it for the morning!

✅ A pro tip: If you want to hold your wedding reception at the in-house restaurant, meet with the Wedding Support Team and immediately take a taxi to the Seocho Office building to make your reservation!

(If you reserve your desired restaurant during the preceding or subsequent time slots, you won't be able to get it unfortunately.)

✅ I suggest you refer to the review to understand why I chose Seocho Office Building, the pros and cons of a Samsung wedding, what I found lacking, and why I still recommend it!

+They're supposedly considering a contract with a new Korean-style restaurant for wedding receptions within the building in 24 years! Please, please make it happen!!!!!

Reasons for Choosing Samsung Electronics Seocho Office Building for My Wedding

(Remaining Wedding Hall Reservation)

✔️What I Did Well

I ended up having my wedding at the Seocho Office Building.

When I decided to get married this year and started looking into in-house weddings, it was already too late, and most of the good times were already booked. There were some 5 PM slots available in April on Sundays, but it wasn't ideal for guests traveling from outside the city, so I couldn't choose them. So, I was debating whether to postpone the wedding to 2025 or hold it at an external venue, but then I decided to put my hopes on the remaining wedding hall slots.

​

And thankfully, a 1 PM slot became available through the remaining wedding hall reservations, so we're going ahead with it.

Thank you!

✔️Pros

• Save money with reasonable costs.
• Located near Gangnam Station Exit 8, accessible via Line 2 and the Shinbundang Line.
• Free parking for 400 cars for 3 hours (rarely available at wedding halls in Gangnam, Seoul).
• Seating capacity for up to 240 people (up to 600 with standing room).

​

​

​

​

​

​

✔️Cons

• Indelible gymnasium-like atmosphere (suitable if you, like me, don't have any wedding fantasies. My junior: I went there...and it was really...?)
• Complicated restaurant situation (internal and external). No buffet.

-> Because of this restaurant issue, I heard that many couples choose Samsung Engineering or the Samsung Financial Training Center instead. And this is why you need to get your consultation as soon as possible!!!!! You can only make a reservation for the reception restaurant after receiving your wedding number in person during the consultation. So, I highly recommend booking the earliest available consultation time in the morning.

-> For example, if your wedding is at 3 PM, and another couple with a 1 PM or 5 PM slot has booked the in-house restaurant (Risan or Mad for Garlic), then I'm out of luck -_-

✔️ Guidelines for Using In-House Wedding Venues for Samsung Employees

I received the consultation at a Samsung Store and received a PDF file titled "Guidelines for Using In-House Wedding Venues for Samsung Employees" during the meeting.

We received the in-house reservation guide in a Flowchart version.

​

✅Reason for needing a consultation: Assigning a wedding number, providing and explaining the guidelines.

​

✔️ Essential Procedures When Using the Wedding Support Team

When using Samsung's wedding services, like for the Seocho Office Building, you must use the partner companies listed below for the following items. The consultant wrote down the names of the contracted companies, so please refer to them (wedding dress, makeup, and photography + reception snap).

​

✅Studio

✅Dress

✅Makeup

✅Reception Snap

✅Additional Costs (rental fees, flowers, wedding decorations)

✅Reception Restaurant

​

​

I completed the wedding dress, makeup, and reception snap contracts at the Samsung Wedding Fair, and I needed to figure out the additional costs and the reception restaurant.

Everything was great, but the restaurant was the most urgent issue!!!!!!!!!

Samsung Electronics Seocho Office Building Reception Restaurants

Risan, Mad for Garlic, Dongdal Sikdang, Akasaka, Pyoyang

✔️Types of Receptions

One of the drawbacks is that the restaurants are located both inside and outside the building, and the restaurant you get depends on the reservation status and the number of guests for other wedding ceremonies. There are only five options available.

Since the restaurant is very important for guests, many people reportedly decide against choosing Seocho Office Building because of this drawback.

✅Inside Seocho Office Building Wedding Venue: Risan, Mad for Garlic, (To be determined) New restaurant

✅Outside Seocho Office Building Wedding Venue: Dongdal Sikdang, Akasaka, Pyoyang

​

​

✔️Reception Menu

First of all, there's no buffet, but Korean, Chinese, Western, and Japanese cuisine are available.

​

• Korean: Dongdal Sikdang (outside), To be determined (inside)
• Chinese: Risan (inside), Pyoyang (outside)
• Japanese: Akasaka (outside)
• Western: Mad for Garlic (inside)

​

​

✔️Course

Only Akasaka had a single course (assorted sashimi, sushi, sashimi salad, tempura, spicy fish stew, and seaweed rice), Mad for Garlic had three courses, and other restaurants had two courses.

​

​

✔️Usage Time

• In-house restaurants: 3 hours
• Outside restaurants: 2 hours

​

​

✔️How to Contract with a Reception Vendor

You must have a consultation with the Wedding Support Team to make a contract!

(Note: You can get a wedding number in advance for attending the fair and making contracts for wedding dresses, makeup, and photography.)

​

✅Consultation -> You'll receive a wedding number on the consultant's business card -> Make a reservation by calling or visiting in advance -> Your reservation is complete after paying a 500,000 won deposit.

​

​

✔️Precautions

• Phone or verbal contracts are invalid, so you must visit in person and sign a contract!
• You can only contract with partner companies.
• Outside food and beverages are not allowed in the reception hall.
• Beverages and alcohol are not included in the discount.

​

​

✔️Reception Tips

• They prepare an additional 20% of food for the contracted number of guests, so you need to carefully estimate the number of people who will attend the wedding and eat to decide whether to contract with only one restaurant or use two restaurants at the same time.
• Make a reservation for your reception immediately after your consultation (I've seen reviews where couples couldn't get Risan because the previous wedding couple booked it 10 minutes before their arrival. How frustrating would that be?)
• You need to prepare the meal tickets yourself, so it's a great idea to get free meal tickets by using a service that offers discount on invitation cards through the Wedding Support Team's benefits.
• The 500,000 won deposit is also eligible for a discount, so pay with your Samsung Card that you've registered in advance.
