Booked and Confirmed at Casino Español

It's final and official. My wedding reception is going to be at Casino Español Ballroom. My mom had gone to meet Aneth, the venue's account executive last Wednesday. We made a downpayment for my wedding that's going to be on January 9th, 2010. I know it's still 9 long months before the big day but I just want to secure the reception as early as now because we could not afford to move the date any longer. We're only be staying in the Philippines for a little over a month and since we want to spend the holidays there, there's not much options but to have it either on the 2nd or 9th of January. Since January 2nd has already been booked by someone else, I didn't have much choice but to move it on the 9th. I like it because it's a Saturday and people must have been rested enough from the holidays so I hope everyone invited could come and celebrate with us on our special day.

The place has 12 different menu packages to choose from. It ranges from Php408.00 - Php928.00/pax, exclusive of beverages and service fee of 7%. They serve 5 different kinds of appetizers, 5 main course, rice and 2 kinds of desserts. They offer free corkage for lechon so I plan to get 2 lechon for the occasion. For my guests who have sweet tooth, a chocolate fountain set-up of pure Belgian chocolates is something that they could look forward to. Oh, am I excited! The preparation and planning is definitely not yet over but I'm glad that we have so much time in our hands, not to mention the power of Internet technology has really helped me with my supplier choices providing me convenient ways to get in touch with them even if I'm thousand miles away from the Philippines.

hello jen, just caught my eye when you say Casino Español. I was there yesterday to see the place for my wedding reception on Jan 10, 2010. I suggest you use the Grand Ballroom, the area is really nice with high ceiling pa. But you need to consume for a minimum of 90K to use the room but if you chose their packages, maabot ra gyud ang minimum?

By the way, do you already have videographer? I suggest, eugene florendo, he is one of the finest. Visit his portfolio at www.eugeneflorendo.com
