Wedding Venues around Quezon City

Wedding Venues around Quezon City


Hi! I just want to share some of the venues/reception we visited for the whole month of December and January there are some pictures, reviews and rates. I hope this will help future brides in choosing their venues!
We will be holding our wedding this September 2016 so as early as December 2015 my hubby and i looked at every possible location/venues .Im from Quezon City and the Ceremony will be held at Luzon Avenue Old Balara Quezon City so we looked at the venue rentals within the area. We already had an events coordinator na nakuha which is complete package na siya no venues included nga lang you can check Awesome Events by Mark

Before we leave that day i made a list to consider in choosing a venue

1. Budget: bawal lumagpas sa budget!
2.Location : dapat malapit lang sa area para hindi kami mahirapan sa transpo 
3.Ambiance: not to bright not to dim,looking for anything special sa venue 
4. Space: Is it enough for our guest, not to crowded (i hate crowded place para kasi akong na su-suffocate)
5.Corkage fee: We have our own caterer so may mga venue na may corkage fee talaga lalo na kung may in-house caterers sila. If they have corkage fee dapat mababa lang at yung mas mahal pa sa venue yung mga fees
6.Parking: The most important, most of our guest have their own cars so checking for spacious parking lots is a must we don't want to hassle our guest gusto namin focus lang sila without thinking ano na kaya nangyari sa cars nila



We Start at La Mesa Ecopark (for Nature Loving Couples)





The Rates Given to us Last December 2015:
7,500 day time 8:00 am to 5:00 pm
12,500 night time  5:00 pm to 10:00 pm
Maximum Capacity: 150 pax
first 80 person free park admission 

Boating Pavilion

The Rates Given to us Last December 2015:
7,500 day time 8:00 am to 5:00 pm
10,000 night time 5:00 pm to 10:00pm
Maximum Capacity: 150 pax
first 80 person free park admission 

Meron pa silang 2 more pavilions sa loob ng park pero mas prefer namin kasi yung nasa labas.
Way back college days favorite namin tambayan ang Ecopark maganda ang pool maganda ang view medyo crowded nga lang pag weekends. 

Pros:
Affordable, Spacious Parking, Good at Prenup Shoot Pictorial 

Cons:
Kung Summer and wedding probably hindi siya pwede kasi mainit may available naman na Industrial fan na pwedeng irent sakanila for P500/each (reason bakit hindi namin napili) ang Boating Pavilion negative din kung rainy season naligo kayong lahat for sure at the same time walang privacy kasi labas pasok lang ang mga tao. Pag dating naman sa prenup gamit na gamit na siya.

The Grand Terrace

Located at 5 Villanueva Drive corner Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City, The Grand Terrace is a Balinese inspired event venue, They have garden and hall but first i inquire about the packages they have kasi i knew myself na mahal talaga doon at the same time i knew they have an in-house caterer which is the VS&F Catering.  After they handed  me the quotation of the venue, corkage fees and the packages they have alam ko narin na hindi sya pasok sa budget namin too expensive. The place is beautiful and spacious pero budget wise parin dapat.They have Lotus hall, Palm hall, Grand Pavilion, Lotus Garden and Venus Garden. We didn't inquire that much I'm not that interested when i saw their packages haha i took a few shot and off we go.









Pros: Spacious, Different location/halls and garden to choose depends on your taste, well lighted

Cons: Not enough space for parking what if nagsabaysabay lahat ng venues ginagamit?

Gazebo Royale

My future mother-in-law said that Gazebo Royale is such a beauty my future brother-in-law said the food is not that good but for me I really really love the place! The trees, flowers the venue itself! i love it! but i don't love the price too expensive than The Grand Terrace but the it's all worth it. They have different Gazebos to choose from. 
The Entrance Gate,say hi to my hubby and to one of our dog Pain





The Parking Lot

Downstairs is a room where the bride can do some retouch while upstairs is the location of the band/orchestra/acoustic duo









Same idea with The Grand Terrace too expensive and we will exceed in our budget they have an in-house caterer too and have a corkage fee i just love the idea that we will held our wedding party there but still budget wise first.

As i checked on the Internet i found out that there are some Subdivision Clubhouse for rent too so Hubby and I plan to drop by one by one.


Don Jose Height Clubhouse

Photos from Don Jose Clubhouse
Located at Dona Carmen corner Pantaleona Street, Don Jose Heights, 1120 Quezon City this clubhouse is one of my Top 3 venues to choose for P20,000 lesser than our budget for venue the place is well lighted place with aircon and have Ceiling Swag free of use!

As we arrived  they are setting up for a wedding reception,the whole place is the perfect venue for our checklist, staffs are very accommodating and the place is nearer to us.

Pros: Affordable, well lighted, They have Aircons, High ceiling
Cons: Ample Parking Space but not i think hindi kasya lahat ng guest cars namin. Im thinking din about the set up pahaba kasi sya so if sa main door galing ang bride and groom the distance is not that long around 30 steps lang.

 Neopolitan Brittanny Subdivision Clubhouse

Located at Neopolitan Ave., Neopolitan Brittany Subd., Brgy Pasong Putik Proper, 1118 Quezon City, near SM Fairview Brittany Clubhouse is the 2nd Spot! Spacious Hall with 350pax and a pool you can rent exclusively perfect for the plan of vintage theme wedding no corkage fees wide parking area and also i also see my self taking a photo in their bell tower. The problem here is hindi ka makapag inquire nang maayos dahil parang laging nagmamadali ang mga staffs isang sagot isang tanong. 
Pwede na siya sa 120pax maluwang kahit aalog alog kami sa loob.

10,000 without aircon

Zias Garden Events Place


Zias Garden is Located at 652-C Congressional Ave., Extension, Brgy. P-Tamo, 1107 Quezon City, its not that noticeable because its a building near a gasoline station I thinks its on the third floor of the building Hindi ko lang kasi siya gusto dahil sa harap nga ng gasolinahan and hindi ka maka grand entrance dahil nasa tuktok ng building which is nasa labas ang hagdan. The staff said merong stairs from basement parking paakyat sa reception tamad ako kaya its a no no to me. Aside from the reception itself  You can held your ceremony in their roof top garden hiwalay ang payment sa mismong venue.
View above roofs more roofs

here is where you can held your ceremony a rooftop garden

The Venue



Pros: Affordable and they have in-house caterer, accommodating staff, nice place to shoot, parking lot exclusive for you

Cons: hindi ko alam saan ka pwede mag grand entrance hindi ko rin maisip saan ka pwede maglagay ng stage its a building so may mga post na nasa gitna mismo ng venue i have a feeling na parang magulo and hindi enough yung space.

You can check their website for more information
