Sharing our supplier ratings din after so many months!:)

Party Details - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2386506817807.2134784.1104872273&type=3


Theme: Little Einstein
- fave cartoon to ni bunso kaya eto agad naisip kong theme nung magsisimula na kaming magplan

Venue and Catering: Prestige Tower
Peso Power :Adult Meal= Php 285/pax (rate last yr, i think 310/pax na sila ngayon); Kid's Meal= Php 100/pax
- What i like about Prestige Tower is free na use ng venue pag na-reach mo yung 15k (kaso now i think you need to reach ata 20k?). Madali rin sila kausap [textspeak!] madalas din kami magkaroon ng event dito. The manager,i forgot her name:(, allowed us to book kahit na 5k dp lang. hahaha. Pero nag dp kami ng 8k para di mabigat sa bulsa ang balance. Another nice thing here is newly renovated yung place nung event namin kaya ganda ganda tignan sa pics. Unlimited din flow of drinks, masarap ang foods, mababait ang service crews, may stage, at free use na ang sound system. Eto nga pala una namin binook [textspeak!] maraming moms naguunahan sa venue na to hehe.

Host: Symond
Peso Power :  Php 9k
- We started planning 4months before the party. Si Chayno tlaga gusto ko kunin [textspeak!] aside from keri pa sa budget namin ang rate niya, nakita na namin siya sa ilang events and type ko hosting and charisma nya sa guests. Mabaet and jolly. Kaso hindi na siya available sa party namin, so sad, kaya next in line was Jiggles and Chubster. Kaso both not available na rin sa date namin. kakaloka nga [textspeak!] ganun pala ka-in demand ang mga hosts ngayon. So ayun, we ended up with our last resort, Symond na i thought same price or lower than Chayno, kaso pala mas pricey pa siya.. Anyway, Symond was also a great performer. Kasama sa rate nya ang balloon twisting, ventri, and magic show. You'll see sa pics na all guests talga tawa ng tawa. So happy and super satisfied na rin kami that we got him. BTW, 1k lang dp to book your slot sa kanya and madali rin siya kausap:)

Photo booth : Medium Rate Photobooth
Peso Power : Php 3,500 (unlimited)
- friend ni hubby yung owner kaya friendly rate ang binigay samin. Maganda output ng pics and maganda rin layout ng printed copy. Mejo nabitin lang ako sa props, but i think bago lang sila sa biz that time kaya ganun. We will still get them for our daughter's 7th bday party next yr.

Cake: Veronica Ngo of Les Sucreries
Peso Power : P3,400 - 12" dummy w/ sidings and 8" round cake with 3d topper
- when we did our daughters' birthday party last 2010, i DIY-ed the birthday cake, cupcakes and all the cupcakes/pastries sa dessert station. kakaloka pala [textspeak!] sa dami ng DIY ko, parang almost 3 days before the party na wala akong sleep kakaprepare for these DIYs. kaya tong 2011 party namin, i decided na i-oorder nalang tong cake para matry ko rin ang hassle free party. when i searched the internet for little einstein birthday cake, i saw Veronica's site and i was in aw sa creation niya. i know may mga GT moms din na kumukuha sa kanya so sure ako that our cake will be in good hands. and we were really so satified sa output. galing ng 3D little einstein rocketship! :)

Cupcake Favors : DIY
- I made Coconut Cupcake with Coconut Creamcheese Frosting(i used Martha Stewart's recipe), French Vanilla Cupcakes, and Peanut Butter Cupcakes. This served as our favors na to our guests. Siyempre hit na hit ang fave flavors ko :)

Venue Decor - Jacque Tan of Party Booster
Peso Power : P7k
- inclusive of 3 little einstein styro for the backdrop, personalized tarp, 2 colors of swags, ceiling balloons, balloon burst, stage decors, entrance decors
- Jacq is a very good friend of mine na [textspeak!] nagkakasama rin kme sa events. customized and i think friendly package yang binigay niya sakin. i love jacque and her team. sobrang daling kausap ni jacque and always maganda ang output ng kanyang works. All her balloons are 100% ang quality from start to end ng party. We also got party booster sa 2010 rockstar princess birthday party ng girls namin.

Game Prizes and Lootbags for kids: Divilandia
Peso Power : P3k
- we bought the lootbags at 168. It was sold individually for P20 each, pero wholesale we got it for P13 each. Laki ng tipid! :) Yung contents ng lootbags, and the prizes were all bought from 168, divi mall, and yung mga nagbebenta ng stuffed toys sa street across divi mall (sorry dunno the name of the street)

Missy and CJ's Outfit : Big and Small Co. (Bonifacio High Street branch)
- I saw a deal in Pakyaw a few month before their party. It was 300 instead of 600 ata yun kaya i immediately grabbed that deal for their party dress. Missy's green dress was P650 and CJ's purple dress was P900. I only got 2 deals thought kaya nag-add pa kami ng konti. I love love Big & Small co.! Sana laging silang may deal! hehe

Photo : Warren Camitan
Peso Power : P5k (labor only package)
- includes 1 location, 1 photog (warren), max of 5hrs unlimited shots, high-res photos on DVD, and 25pcs 4R printed edited pics.
- i learned about warren through my mommy e-community and here. when i saw his multiply site, i knew di kami magkakamali sa pagkuha sa kanya. he came to the venue early, nauna pa tlaga siya samin. we love the pics! nakuha nya talga all happy moments and details of the party. di siya humihinto kakakuha ng picture. madali rin kausap, booking him was a breeze. The output came a week late, pero ok lang samin [textspeak!] ganda naman ng pics :)

My DIYs
Invites, Sticker Thank You tags for the lootbags, Name tags - i just downloaded a little einstein photo on the next, edited using photoshop and had everything printed at Netopia. :)

Thanks to Mek Reyes  NY Giftworks. she really did a great job with the decor!! i love her!!!! :)

http://nygiftworks.multiply.com/photos/album/158/Sophias_Rockstar_Party

First time ever to post here.  But I just have to agree with regards to Mek.  We had our party handled by her twice na (2009 and just last Feb.2012).  Both turned out great and a hit to all our guests/relatives.  Ang galing talaga niya sa decors, your party would always come out so festive but not tacky.

Hi! Just had my son's 7th birthday party last April 28 at CVJ Clubhouse in Marikina.

My feed back about CVJ: Venue - 10 The party was held at the second floor, the biggest and most elegant of the 3 venues (1st, 2nd and 3rd floors).

CVJ Catering (Food) - 3 (Yes, out of 10, 10 being the highest) I really DO NOT RECOMMEND their catering especially the cocktail package. Their price is very high compared to the food that they served. P 430 per head, it only includes barbecue, chicken cordon bleu and beef salpicao. The quality of the food is poor. The barbecue is tough, as well as the beef, the chicken cordon bleu is bland and the dirty ice cream, so not good, parang tinipid ang ingredients! :((

Caterer: CVJ Catering
Rating:4.5


Overall, okay naman ang food nila.Hindi naman bongang bongang package kasi ang avail namin. Yung for kiddie party na package lang nila. Nag setup din sila ng centerpieces so okay na ang set up namin.

Venue: Valle Verde 5 Clubhouse
Rating: 4.5


Nice and clean ang venue. At malaki rin. Ang bilis lang ma fully booked. Parang lageng may party. I’m not sure kung kailangan ng sponsorship since yung real mommy na nag asikaso. Niece ko kasi ang celebrant. No problems naman kami on the day. Malamig rin ang aircon nila so okay na since sobrang init na talaga ngayon.

Lights and sounds: Sensitivy (http://mrsensitivity.multiply.com)
Rating: 5


Sila ang todo nag papaganda ng venue. We opted for not too much balloons na kasi konti lang talaga ang bata samin. More on adults, kaya parang adult affair talaga siya. Kaya we didn’t get the usual children’s party host at magician. Hopefully, pag rumami na ang mga kids sa angkan naming, makapag magician at kiddie party na talaga kami.

Candy buffet: Bonbon taffy (bonbontaffy@yahoo.com)
Rating: 5


We availed of the taffy package. Sobrang mura na nila compare sa iba. Sa iba kasi, 3k for 50 pax tapos 3 variety lang. The taffy package has imported goods so may Lay’s dun at Oreos, Cheetos, etc. They served a total of 14 varieties! Ayun nagkandarapa ang mga isip bata kasi nagutom na before pa mag serve ng lunch. Disney Cars ang theme at na execute naman. Pampabuhay tignan ang candy buffet, promise.

Cupcakes: Bonbon taffy (bonbontaffy@yahoo.com)
Rating: 5


Hindi sila mapili at mapera na bawat dagdag may bayad. Same price lang ang spiraled up icing nila, ang first letter only, with words. Sila na ang pinaka affordable na nakita ko. P40 lang. I got the chocolate flavored since yun naman talaga yung commonly kinakain ng mga tao. Not too oily, and not dry.

Her labor only is 4k. For those who went into wedding preps, you might be familiar with Imagine nation. She's trained under Imaging Nation. On time siya dumating at marami siyang nakuhang precious moments o candid shots ba ang tawag dun. Ready na rin siya iturnover after 3 days ang pics na edited na, kaso we were so busy kaya after two weeks na nakakuha. Up until now, hindi pa rin naasikaso kung ano ilalagay sa album na pics. Hahaha.


No invites na. Facebook event invitation nalang at text text.

OUR PARTY RATING’S

Prepare yourselves for a long read mga sis  ;D

Don Henrico’s – Brickroad Branch
Rating: 10/10


Food – good food.  The price is super sulit.  Our guests enjoyed the food at super busog daw sila.  Don Hen staff allowed us na maglagay din ng plates na may pizza, potato wedges and nachos per table.  Kasi nung mag-resume na yung program eh hindi na tumatayo yung ibang guests para kumuha ulit ng food.  Siguro ayaw makadistract sa program.
 
Service – two thumbs up! There were 4 staff assigned sa buffet table to serve ng food.  2 staff sa drinks. And another 4 staff (trainees) na nakatayo sa loob ng party area para mag-monitor ng mga kelangan ng guests.  So bawat lingon ng guest may staff silang makikita like hingi ng tissue, abot ng straw etc etc.  Our reservation is at 2pm.  Me, daughter and my grandma arrived at 12:30nn to check sa set-up, decors saka para ayusin yung mga game prizes na dala namin.  Pag baba namin sa car, sinalubong na kami agad ng mga staff para tulungan magbuhat ng mga things saka ng cake. At sobrang natuwa ako sa nagbuhat ng cake namin kasi super ingat na ingat talaga sya.  They also helped us ayusin sa table yung mga game prizes na dala namin tapos yung tarpaulin na dala ko para gawing welcome banner sabi ko pakitalian na lang sa door or dikit ng scotch tape.  After few minutes nakita ko kinabit nila sa standee. Yehey! Ang babait talaga nila. Yung 1 staff na rin ang tumao sa registration table ko, distribute ng plastic shades and birthday wishes card and pens sa mga guests.  Ang lagi kong kausap tuwing visit ako sa store saka tawag sa phone eh si Ms. Rocel.  She really is super nice.

Venue – no question about it, the restaurant is nice and clean.  It gives the “sosyal” feeling sabi ng mga guests ko.  I like the tables and chairs.  The tables for buffet, cake and game prizes have skirting too.  They have a party area which can accommodate 100 guests tapos may parang sliding partition lang doon na kung marami ang guests ioopen lang nila.  The store can accoomodate 150 guests without booth set-up.

Restriction – almost no restrictions.  Kahit anong theme puede. Kahit anong food cart puede rin. Any décor and booths okay din sa kanila.  They will just charge electricity fee kung gagamit ng kuryente.  No bringing of food items lang na katulad ng menu nila.

Balloons & Décor – Kiko’s Balloons 
Rating:  10/10

My décor supplier is the in-house supplier of Don Hen.  The owner, Kristine, is a nice person (not to mention pretty sya kaya pleasant kausap hehe) mabilis sya sumagot sa text every question ko may reply sya.  Her packages are flexible, she can work on your budget.  Last March 31, nagkita kami sa Don Hen (party ni sis Boj) at na-finalize na naming yung mga details ko.  I upgraded and changed some stuff.  Two weeks before the event may mga pinabago ako sa mga kukunin ko (downgrade), MIL kasi in & out sa hospital and scheduled for an operation kaya feeling ko we needed to cut on some costs so we can give support to her kahit paano.  I was so glad that Krsitine understood our situation and she said na okay lang daw.  On the day of the party, maaga sila nagset-up at lahat ng napagusapan namin nasunod lahat.  My relatives told me ang ganda daw ng set-up kasi bagay na bagay sa rockstar theme.  Kahit hindi ganun kabongga yung pinagawa kong decors maganda ang kinalabasan.

Kiddie lootbags are from Kiko’s too.  Candies and small toys inside tissue-pouch wrapped with mini balloons.  Kaya lahat ng kids natuwa kasi lahat sila may mini-balloons na naiuwi.


Entertainment – Ms. Lhen Peralta
Rating:  10/10

I got her php 4,500.00 package (hosting, ventri, balloon twisting and magic tricks).  I feel like her TF is all worth it (kahit magbigay ka pa ng tip at gift sulit pa rin).  My guests enjoyed.  One mom texted me and said “I love your host”.  Some of the guests natuwa sa kanya kasi all-in-one na daw sya hehe. I mentioned how much her TF and they said na mura daw si Ms. Lhen.  May free bubble machine pa!

She came to the venue early, I think past 1pm.  I gave her some of the materials na napag-usapan naming ako ang gagawa (customized yung program and some of the games).  Sya na nag-coordinate sa mga staff ng Don Hen that she needs this, she needs that.  All the kids enjoyed pati yung toddlers (like 2 and 3 years old) nakaupo talaga sa floor to watch her performance.  I have a guest na wala pang 1 year old yung anak niya pero nanonood din ng balloon twisting as if alam niya yung pinapanood niya haha!  The adults enjoyed her too.  Pati mga staff ng Don Hen nanood din sa performance niya super tawa din sila sa ventri act. I think plus factor talaga kapag good looking ang host kasi nakakaagaw agad ng atensiyon.  Lhen is pretty and bubbly at maganda yung costume niya na rockstar din.

Photo Coverage – Primera Litratista 
Rating: 9/10

Photographer came in late.  So during set-up ako na nag-shots ng ibang items namin.  Nagkataon lang din na madaming guests ang late kaya okay lang na nag-start kami ng late.  Super traffic daw kaya madami ang na-late.  Nakabawi naman sa hard work dahil pagdating sa venue eh trabaho agad sya kaya wala namang na-miss na kuhanan.  I just reviewed the pictures this afternoon at super natuwa ako sa shots.  Happy faces I can see sa pictures.  It captured our moment and I can feel na even after many years, my daughter will still remember her 8th birthday party in full details. I am again a satisfied client of them!

Cake – Iko’s Bakeshop 
Rating:  9/10

Iko’s never lets me down talaga.  From staff servicing hangang sa pick-up ko ng cake wala talaga akong problema sa kanila.  I got a 2-tier choco moist cake for only php 2,405.00 all edible (except syempre yung styro na patungan for each layer).  Cake size is 12” and 8” rounds.  I gave them a print out of the design my daughter wants, tapos sulat sulat lang yung ibang details na gusto ko ipabago.  Yung size ng guitar lang yung hindi nagaya.  It’s made of gumpaste din kasi hindi daw kaya pag super malaki yung guitar sa tuktok.  But overall they gave us a cake na talagang natuwa ang daughter ko.


Game Prizes, Giveaways & Lootbags
(SM, Toy Kingdom, Planet Toys, Sta. Lucia Mall, Divi & Kiko’s Balloons)
Rating:  10/10

Value for money!  I started buying mga toys for game prizes siguro mga end of February or early March pa.  everytime punta ako sa mall I make it a point na makabili ng few pieces from the sale items.  I set a target cost sa items na bibilhin ko kasi tendency eh makabili ng mas mahal na items pag nakita na maganda.  My target was php 60.00 maximum price per piece.  At na-achieve ko naman yun. Ibang items tag-20 each lang.  Talagang tyagaan lang po sa paghahanap ng sale items.  All the toys are from department stores and toy stores.  The plastic shades which were given upon arrival of kids are from divi naman (php 75.00 for 1 dozen).  For the adults (game prizes) I bought 6 pieces of Frey chocolate bars at php85.00 each.  Natuwa naman yung mga nanalo sa adult game.


Costume – Pasig Night Market
Rating:  10/10  (credits to me!)

I bought my daughter’s rockstar costume last March pa from Pasig night market.  I was looking for a particular costume na babagay sa theme pero I don’t have an exact image on my mind.  So for 2hours ikot ako ng ikot sa Pasig (hangang sa hihikain na ko sa init), just when I was about to give up at uuwi na.. Voila! I found the perfect costume na naka-hanger!  I was so happy.  As in last piece na yung damit na yun at sobrang sabi ko sakto ang sukat nito for my daughter.  I bought it at php400.00 only set na sya.

I bought a gown rin na for costume change sana pag middle na yung party pero hindi na nasuot kasi busyng-busy daughter ko sa program.  Saying nga yung dress eh, its php650.00 only.  Never been used.  Thinking of selling it na lang.

DIY – Invitation, Birthday Wish Card, Thank You & Name Tags
(credits to me!)
   ;D
DIY ko ang invites, TY cards and birthday wish cards.  Invites I made mga 2 weeks before the party, ako nag-layout, bought photo paper sa NBS at gamit ang printer sa house.  Mukang may potential naman ako sa arts hehe!


Guests Siyempre I have to rate my guests too  :P ;D

Attitude and Discipline – everyone made confirmation as early as possible naman.  Yung mga hindi makakapunta nagsabi din ng maaga that they can’t make it.  It helped me a lot sa budgeting at ordering ng food.  Although meron pa ring nag-confirm tapos di naman dumating, konti lang naman kaya okay lang.  Come party time merong mga late nakarating pero okay lang kasi I understand na super super traffic daw talaga.

Participation – kahit late bawi naman sila sa participation sa program.  Sa adult games bigay todo rin sila na kala mo house & lot ang premyong pinaglalabanan kaya yung ibang guests tawa ng tawa.

Gift – sobrang happy ang daughter ko sa mga gifts na natanggap niya.  Some of my friends texted me na beforehand kung anong ideal gift for my daughter.  I just said “something useful” (they know naman madami ng kalat sa bahay namin dahil sa mga toys).   At ako naman happy sa mga cash gift hehe!

Venue: chili's greenbelt 5

Kids @ 350/pax
Adults @ 605/pax

Free amenities - invitation card, party hats, balloons (there are more pero d ko naman na inavail)

Rating:

Food - 10/10
Service - 10/10

Chili's and Cafe Mary Grace ang favorite restaurants ng daughter ko sa Greenbelt area. Initially, sa CMG ako nagpabook (last January) kaso pag may kids na active parang d kakasya sa 2nd floor.

Outdoor ang party sa chili's tapos June syempre tag-ulan kaya ang hirap magdecide. Hindi ko na ikwento ano naging rason ko pero eventually nanalo na rin na chili's kami.

Cake: sheryberry sweets
5k cake, cupcakes and delivery fee

Service - 10/10
Taste - 10/10
Cake design - 7/10

I booked her last February. i wanted Gel Colet sana kaso ayaw ko mastress mag-pick up from QC then ang party nasa Makati.

Bottom part lang ang edible (10") then 1 dozen ng cupcakes.

I provided the princess cupcake wrappers and toppers.

I gave the design of the cake pero hindi ako satisfied sa naging resulta.

Magaan ka-deal si shery and very prompt sa pagsagot ng emails and text messages.

Dahil gusto ko stress-free party kaya yun subok ko na ang gusto ko na photog. Maaga sa venue and masipag kumuha ng shots.

Bago ko pa sya maibook nasabihan na nya ako na meron pa sya icover na event after ng party namin. Niremind nya ako night before the party at humingi rin ng paumanhin na sa party date e 6pm aalis na sya sa venue namin.

Nun party mismo nagsabi sya ulit at humingi ng dispensa.

Souvenirs: disneystore.com

Rating: 10/10


Kumpleto na dumating yun inorder ko at lahat maayos. Nakakatakot umorder online kasi baka may damage or kulang2x ang dumating e mahirap icoordinate pag ganun. Stress-free naman ang transaction at maganda yung mga items.

Cinderella fleece blanket yun napili ko for girls then cars2 na drinking bottle at phineas & ferb na plush yung sa boys.

Wala na ako ginawa, naka-ribbon na yun blanket. Nilagyan ko na lang ng TY tag.


Prizes: landmark dept store

Thanks to marose for suggesting landmark kaya hindi na ako nag-divi. Naabutan ko pa yun sale nila before magbukas ang klase.

Thanks to sis pinkpotato :) nakita ko ang picture ni H at super cute ng rapunzel dress. Nun nalaman ko price ayun lalong gumanda tingin ko sa dress.


Host: Alex Lagula
13k hosting and magic show

Now, ito ang mahirap magbigay ng rating kasi hati ang loob ko.

Rating:

Performance - 10/10
Overall - 7/10

Hmm may free host naman ng kasama sa chili's. Naisip ko lang na mahal per head yung food kahinayang if d sigurado na ok ang host. Since gusto ko simple na party pero hindi tipid plus stress-free pumili ako ng host na nababasa ko dito sa GT na maganda ang feedback.

Wizzo and Alex lagula yun binigay na available sa date ng party namin. Dahil nakuha ko na dati si wizzo at half ng bisita e sila pa rin kaya si alex napili ko. Pikit mata na lang sa TF (kahit chili's party lang kami) kasi isip ko if gusto ko ng maayos at stress free e dapat willing ako magbayad.

Anyway, sa day nun party andami ng bisita wala pa ang host.

Madalas nababasa ko dito sa GT na 2:30 pa lang raw nandun na ang host etc at sa experience ko rin sa previous parties namin e ganun nga ang host. Kaya sobrang nakaka-stress na 2:54pm nagtetext ako para alamin asan na yun host.

Dahil restaurant party kami mas mahigpit syempre sa oras. Sana aware naman sila sa ganito kasi sabi naman sa akin hindi nila 1st time sa chili's.

Ending lagpas 3:30 kami nag-start ng party. May issue rin sa permit from Ayala d malaman ng staff ng chili's san sila gate papasok (partly fault ng chili's ito) pero yun staff 2:30 pm pa lang punta na ng punta sa basement 1 and 2 to check if nandun na sila.

2:54pm nun nareceive ko ang text na papasok pa lang sila ng GB area.


Madalian na rin yun latter part ng party, 1st time nga namin hindi pinag-wish para sa anak namin at hindi rin nabigyan ng chance na mag thank you sa mga bisita.


Kaya ako na mismo nagsabi na bigyan ng chance na magpasalamat anak ko sa mga bisita nya, para naman yun basic na pagpapasalamat sa mga dumalo hindi mawala.


Masaya at successful yun party pero I have to be honest sa feedback ko.

  Galing ng feedback sis. Alam mong feedback from the real customer and hindi yung nagpapabanggit lang dito sa forum para sumikat. At talagang true to the sense na nagkukuwento ng totoong nangyari.

  Anyways happy birthday to your baby girl. And congrats sa succesfull stressfree party. Matagal tagal pa ko. ;)
