Venue Booked - The Blue Leaf Events Pavilion

After we have booked our church, we coordinated with the Blue Leaf Events Pavilion in Taguig to put us on a pencil booking for December 6, 2014 evening schedule for Jade since we are on a small number of guests only. Jade is the smallest among the three pavilions of the venue.

On Saturday, April 20, 2013, we paid for the reservation for the Jade Pavilion. We will be getting their wedding package but this time, its not yet available to Ms. Eia suggested to booked for the venue first and once the package is available, we can convert to what package do we want. She also said that we can have our food tasting first with their accredited caterers while waiting so we can be decided on which caterer to book once the package is available. So then, we agreed and booked as venue first.

Our wedding reception will be held at the Jade, The Blue Leaf Events Pavilion...

Looking for the Venue Part 2

Enderun Colleges
RESTAURANT 101 | 1100 Campus Avenue
McKinley Hill, Fort Bonifacio
Taguig City 1634 Philippines
(632) 856 5000 local 101

101@enderuncolleges.com


Next on our list is the Tent in Enderun. It's our first time to hear about this venue in McKinley Taguig, so since the location is near to the church, we checked out the place.

When we arrived at the venue, we thought we're mistaken because what we saw is a school. We went to the reception area and asked where is the venue for wedding. The receptionist pointed at the lobby and she said that it's the first venue for small event(The Atrium). They also have the Tent which is located outside their building.The tent is a big one that can accommodate 300-450 guest.We didn't like the first venue so we checked out the Tent.

Here are the photos during our ocular at the Tent.








 We we're not able to speak to someone who can give us full details about the tent so we just emailed them for the rates. The guard who assisted us told us that sometimes if the event is like for150 guests only,they divided the venue to accommodate another since it is really spacious if you will only have around 150-200 guest. This tent reminds me of the Le Pavilion.

I have included here the rate they gave us as well as the pictures they sent me.

Before we decided to get married, this venue was my top choice for our reception (before I knew Fernbrooks). I already told myself that whenever Nickyz will propose to me, I would tell him to get this venue. My mind is really set to have our event here.When we were in the stage of venue hunting, h2b refused this venue even I told him that this is a garden venue, high ceiling etc. He said that he doesn’t like the location but I insisted.An AE showed us the Emerald and the Diamond Garden. It was indeed as beautiful as it was in the photos I’ve searched in the internet. H2b agreed of the gorgeous looks of the venue and he said that it was okay.


After visiting this venue, I think we will still look for other options because h2b was right. The venue is really good but our guest might all be late because most of them lives from south area and this venue is quite far from most of them. Also, I don’t like the street where this venue is located because it is a bit crowded because of the tricycle passing through the street.

Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City

This is the second venue we visited after seeing the Fernbrooks Garden during Jet’s wedding last January 5, 2013. Blue Leaf match perfectly if we will book the Sanctuario de San Antonio church. I never wanted our reception in a hotel as I feel that the only view I could have is the building, lobby and the function room  whereas if we would have it outside, we could have some fresh air and a greenery views (am I referring to a garden wedding reception?).

I did not have the chance to take photos of the venue because I was busy talking to the girl named Hazel who assisted us during our ocular and showed us the three pavilions. My first impression with this venue is too small and ordinary or, maybe I was just so impressed with Fernbrooks that I couldn’t think of any other beautiful venue other than that.

Photos of the Pavilions, Rates and Packages are posted in their website so just check it out. Below are the rates with their accredited caterer they sent us when we inquired last January 2013.

Boom Compound, CCP Complex, Sen. Gil J. Puyat Ave.
corner Roxas Blvd. and Macapagal Blvd.
Pasay City, Metro Manila, Philippines 




This venue is not included in our target venue for our wedding. The reason is that, Nickyz doesn’t like its location.He said that the place is in the traffic area and possible church would be the MOA Church which I don’t like because it’s not air-conditioned. I just told Nickyz to check it out might as well like it when we personally visit the place and see their packages. 

After seeing this venue, our decision is still the same that we will not consider this place for our wedding. The garden showed us by the AE assisted us is too small. (see picture below). I found the interior small because of its octagon shape making too many corners unlike if its circular, oval, rectangular or square, it may look spacious. Their rates and packages are really affordable.  See the package they sent us below as well as the pictures taken during our ocular.
