Individual Reviews:
Theme: M&M’s Candy Why M&M’s candy? Not just because of it’s colorful appeal but because my hubby was nicknamed MM when he was young and our youngest looks like him!:) The themed didn’t just appealed to the kids but to the adults as well
Venue: Valle Verde 1 clubhouse –10/10 Having my kumare as a resident of VV1, she booked me the venue for almost half the price! What I loved about the venue is it’s all glass windows and doors that made the place very “maaliwalas” a downside is that we can’t put swags because of the partition in the middle for some smaller occasions. But overall I really loved it.
Caterer: Verleo – 10/10Our family has been a suki to Verleo for years! They never failed us, the food was not just “okay” but it was “superb!” our guest won’t commend it if it’s not good right? I loved the roasted rib eye, it’s really good! Their serving is always generous, I booked for 130 adults we had 18 table of 10’s the food is still more than enough we were able to take some home pa! Our all time favorites such as the tempura were also served, here’s our menu.
Menu:
Yang chow fried rice
Braised Birthday Noodles with Quail Eggs
Chicken Pastel
Roasted Rib Eye (carved on the spot)
Prawn Tempura (cooked on the spot)
Broccoli with Scallop
Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Drinks:
Softdrinks and Mineral Water
Food Carts
Iced Monster 10/10Hubby’s cousin owns a branch and she really cater to parties, we always get her not just because we are relatives but also because Iced Monster is always a great hit!
Potato Corner 10/10One of my favorite! This was the first foodcart that was finished!
Mondo Juice 10/10A healthy fruit juice brand that is owned by hubby’s another cousin, they have branches around the Metro, the guests loved it also!
Non branded carts by Kidstarkastles:
Corndog, Cheesesticks, Taho, Mixed Balls 10/10All yummy and well presented! Kahit not branded sold out lahat!
Lechon by Elar’s 10/10Our whole family’s favorite! No occasion goes w/o a whole lechon! Elar’s lechon is really tasty and price worth!
Photographer/Videographer Michelle Morelos 10/10Michelle is more than just a photographer for us, our family welcomes her as one of us already, she is really sweet and very good in her craft, can’t wait for the teaser photos and video she will send me para mashare ko na here mga details ng party
Venue Decorations: KidstarKastles by Imma Ongteco 10/10It’s our third time with them! From my eldest’s party pa last 2007 up to last Saturday’s party, Imma never cease to amaze me! I always put my full trust on her, I don’t go much into details anymore, I just give her my budget, and just wait for the party itself to witness her works of wonder! I thought I wouldn’t be surprised anymore since it’s my third time already, but I was wrong, sabi ng isang guest ko ibang level daw ang decors hehe! I feel like a child as I walk through her decors, all the guest has high praises sa decors! I highly recommend kidstar! Super sulit and galling talaga!
Host – Chayno 10/10When I comes to hosts, dyan na ako medyo maarte, i had Flooch and Alex Lagula before and I wanted someone with the same league with them, good English diction (not pilit) good with audience both kids and adults and respectful sa amin mag asawa, with Imma’s recommendation Chayno delivered all what I wanted, the guests were so excited with the program he has prepared, smooth flowing lahat
Side Entertainments
Kiddie Salon - Creative Party 10/10It’s my second time with Ms. Carla, and just like the first, hit na hit sa kids and kiddie salon, very hygienic her kiddie salon and staffs, non stop ang line sa salon even the boys had their hair done! Most of all, Ms. Carla is really hands on, she stayed with us (just like before) the whole party, taking photos and assisting her staffs. Very professional, I highly recommend them.
Yoyo master – Glenn 10/10Big hit! Sulit! Guests keeps on approaching me telling me how good the yoyo master was, I wasn’t able to sit and watch na kasi so I’ll just watch is sa video
Souvenirs: M&M Pillows and Utility Pouch by Personalized Picks – 10/10Ms. Catherine is one of the most professional person I have ever dealt with, she never gave me any headaches as we brainstorm for what giveaway we will have, her items are top quality, since she is from Bacolod pa I wasn’t able to check na for the quality until I saw the final giveaways, they are beyond my expectations, even the presentations are nicely done.
Invitations, tags, labels: Printavekids – 10/10It’s also my second time with Printavekids, she is a personal friend, I love the quality of her works, very nicely done, will share photos of my invites nalang para you can see.
Dessert station: My Choco Heaven – 9/10I was not able to taste any of it but my sisters told me the creamcheese brownies were awesome
The 280pcs of desserts were not finished up, I guess I have proved that my guests are not into sweets that much.
Cake: Sugarbox by Emily Uy-Swing – 10/10My favorite and suking cake maker! Ms. Emily is very easy to deal with, I’ve been ordering cakes from her since 2008 pa, very artistic and not to mention really yummy her cakes! I always get a suking client rate from her, she never took advantage of the trust I gave her and always delivers me a cake that makes everyone say “WOW!”.
On site photo magnet: Businesshoppe -10/10Another big hit in the party, I’ve decided kasi na if photo magnet people will be able to stick them sa fridge nila not like other photobooths na I just put sa drawers and someplace else that I sometimes I don’t know where they are already, they are complete with props and all really nice!
Hair And MakeUp: Cheryl Cabanos – 10/10I have read reviews about her here in GT, I got her airbrush make up service, our first usapan was 11am but she arrived 1230 late but nevertheless, she really did a good job, I just found out that she has a makeup school, so she knows a lot about make ups, she made some face contouring on me to highlight the nice parts of my face haha! I love my make up!
Outfits: Schatzchen's Closet (kids m&m’s dresses) & U.S online shop (me and hubby’s m&m’s tshirts)- 10/10I had my three girl’s dresses custom made by Schatzchen’s closet from facebook, she looked for a photo in the net for her to copy the design from and it’s really nice in actual, me and my hubby’s outfits are from an online shop in US selling authentic m&m’s tshirts we are 5 and sakto sa colors ng m&m’s! hubby is blue, im orange, green my eldest, yellow my second and the birthday celebrant is red!:)
Will post photos soon!!
