A mid-sized convention center, the Bayanihan Center will not be competing with SMX or World Trade anytime soon. However, if you have a decent-sized event, the Bayanihan Center is a strong contender. The biggest thing going for it would be its location. Located in front of Pioneer Center in Kapitolyo, the venue is close to EDSA, Greenfield, and Ortigas Center. Having a supermarket beside it is also a huge advantage. And for those who attend any event there, it's proximity to the food centers of Greenfield and kapitolyo must be some sort of happy bonus. Make no mistake, Bayanihan Center is a damned good event venue.

Things happened, including accidentally spilling water (knocking over a glass of water) to one of our guests by one of their servers. Looking at the positive side, we got classic Filipino dishes, and we were amazed by the preparation of the food and its authentic taste. The staffs were nice, ambiance is good, nothing too fancy. The location is a 30 minute drive away from the nearby big city of Metro Manila. I recommend this place for you to try out,

Decagon is an events venue in Silver City. I was able to attend two different events here; one is…read morean extravagant children's party and the other was a university party. The place is actually pretty big for an events place. Think the size of a ballroom inside a hotel. It's enough to house 300 to 500 people, depending on the set-up of the party. When I went with my niece to a party thrown by one of her classmates, the set-up was unreal. They had a huge stage up front (because the theme was Hollywood), a crane as part of their videographer's materials, two buffet spreads, a children's section and the tables for the adults. Doesn't that sound like a pretty big events place? Yeah, I thought so. The other event I went to was a concert. The sound system was pretty good considering it had a bunch of excited and noisy kids. It was well ventilated and that's always a plus point for me! I'm unsure what other events have been put up here but I think it's a pretty good place for different types of events. Because it is spacious, a lot of things can be done here.

This is the worst events place one could book for a wedding. The contact person, Jawo Rubio is the…read moreworst marketing agent we have ever encountered in our wedding planning and even in our professional lives. When we first contacted him, he asked for the meeting to be set on a Sunday at 11am. On the day of the meeting, he was a no-show. Not even a single text message was sent to us apologizing for not being able to make it to the meeting. Still we gave him the benefit of the doubt and scheduled another meeting. He did make it to the second meeting and gave us a tour of the venue and the price for the booking. He told us we should make a downpayment after a month to reserve the date. Fast forward 4 weeks, we tried to contact him so we could already issue the check but we can't contact him and cannot reach him even through the landline provided in his email. Six weeks have passed and finally he answered our call, he promised that he would send a messenger to collect the DP from us. However, up until now, 2 weeks after he told us he will get back to us, the DP has yet to be collected and no word from anyone from Decagon. We already booked another event venue and had an easy time with the new supplier. AGAIN, DECAGON IS THE WORST PLACE FOR A WEDDING VENUE. For couples who are looking for a stress free coordination with suppliers, stay away from this company because they do not care if their venue is booked or not. I will tell all my friends never to book this place for their events.

The events place or ballroom here at the St. Francis Shangri-La Place Towers was the venue of choice.

The food served was delicious and after my friends and I spent a great deal of time wearing out the microphones with our karaoke renditions of well-beloved songs.

Lots of…read morecouples nowadays want to find the intricate balance between the fast-paced life and relaxation, structure and freedom, convenient but private. This is pretty much one of the reasons why The Blue Leaf at McKinley Hill is a venue of choice for quite many couples for their wedding reception. A space that could comfortably fit 200 people standing, the garden by the driveway makes for a wonderful cocktail area, with cabanas that can be comfortable and convenient. It's a secluded patch of green that's not far from the bustling Bonifacio Global City. The versatility of the venue allows for functions for events with guests that go from anywhere between 100 up t0 400 guests with the two bigger function halls combined. What's also great about Blue Leaf is that they have provisions for almost all add-ons like draping and additional electricity for a minimal fee. They are also quite flexible with some rules and regulations, depending on the requirements of the event at hand. It's no wonder that many couples still choose to have the feast for their wedding here, or even families holding special occasions, and companies hosting events for launches, appreciation parties, and many more.

The venue was amazingly decorated, and the ambience was perfect for the event. I learned later on that the Blue Leaf is basically a shell, a chameleon, designed to change its interiors depending on what you need it to be. This made me respect it even more, because anything that can morph from a laid-back dinner party, to a hypeactive children's birthday party, and to a rip-roaring, crazy college party is amazing in my book.

It's worth an inquiry though because it's booked week after week with kiddie birthday parties! Unless everyone in Vv1 has a toddler turning a year older every week, it's the residents' relatives and friends using the privilege. Well, business is business and everyone's got their policies. All the parties that I've seen happen here look fun and well-attended. The decorations all look pretty familiar so I wouldn't be surprised if they have suppliers on retainer. I also see the two sections of the clubhouse opened up for bigger parties. Otherwise, you can rent just one part of the place. On Sundays, I know the clubhouse is used for mass as well.

I suppose that has to do with the smart way that the clubhouse has been designed. White and glass all around.

Kids can have even the option of playing in the park a few feet away while guests can venture to Becky's Kitchen a stone's throw away.
