Venue Hunt # 1: the Village Patio and Philam Clubhouse

FIRST STOP: THE VILLAGE PATIO
Mox wanted a garden reception, but since our wedding will be held in the summer, I felt it would be too hot for an outdoor event. So I browsed forums for suggestions for an affordable indoor garden venue and chanced upon the Village Patio. The pictures in the website are very beautiful and the wedding package is also quite affordable. If you get their in-house caterer, Tarlaquena Catering, the venue rental fee will only cost P8,000 for five hours. But if you opt to get an outside caterer and just rent the venue, then the rental fee will cost P40,000.

Here are some pictures of the setups done in the Village Patio. Photos were grabbed from their website.




VERDICT: It was a bit difficult finding the Village Patio because the signage was not that noticeable even in broad daylight. There was also no parking space so we had to park along the street. We didn't bother going to Tarlequena's main office anymore because Mox just wanted to find another venue. Di niya nagustuhan ang itsura eh. The Village Patio is a beautiful garden venue, but I thought it was a bit too small. We plan to have 150 guests, a photobooth and a band, and I feel that it might be too cramped inside the venue. So the Village Patio is off the list.

SECOND STOP: PHILAM CLUBHOUSE
When we did an ocular at Sta. Rita de Cascia Parish, we also went to see the Philam Clubhouse behind the church. But just like the Village Patio, the clubhouse seemed too small. I also found it too dark and dreary that I felt we had to hire an event stylist to make it prettier. Eh dagdag gastos lang yun eh. It's just too bad because we really wanted to book Sta. Rita de Cascia Parish, but since there are no good reception venues nearby, we have to look for other options.
