Shangri-la Makati kami   

[SweetheartKo]

Thanks sis Shymegirl! Nag occular visit kaba sa Acacia? I'm more concern kasi sa laki ng space ng room. Na check mo ba yung Commerce or Executive suite nila?

[shygirlme]

^yun isang executive suite lang navisit ko medyo maliiy compare sa isa na may divider sa gitna yun kukunin ko mas ok kasi yun para hindi lahat sama sama sa room hehe

[fionaapple]

binook namin isang one-bedroom suite for the groom at isang one-bedroom deluxe premiere for me  sa Eastwood Richmonde. advice lang for those na nakapagpreps na sa Eastwood, di ba masikip?

hi mga sis any feedback for solaire and hotel h20? planning to do an occular this weekend kase. mas prefer namin solaire kase sobrang lapit sa reception, kaso baka kase super strict sila when it comes to wed preps?

We booked Oakwood Premier Hotel (Ortigas) for wedding preps in December. There is no fancy stairs like Richmonde Hotel but the rooms are spacious as in enough for big crowd.. we got (1night) 2BR suite for me and my family and (2nights) 1 BR for h2b and h2b's family for only 18k. Super savings and super nice ng room talaga, and hindi sila strict sa foods, suppliers, pictorials and guests. I am just so satisfied sa terms nila. Check nyo mga sis!! <3

^their suites are really nice. although the hallway smells like cigarette smoke(very sensitive kasi ako sa ganyan). but the suites are really spacious and nicely decorated.

i'm just waiting for the suites of marco polo to be available so i could check them out. if i'm not that satisfied with marco polo, we'll be pushing through with oakwood na.

Mga sis, anyone has a comparison between Bellevue and Acacia hotel both in Alabang. We prefer suite.  Thanks!

 Hi sis, share ko lang noong mag ocular kami sa acacia,since bago siya maganda talaga siya,pero medyo strict dito sis.. Ive asked kasi kung pwedeng madaming mag overnight stay sa room, sabi nila kung ilan yun naka indicate yun lang... And i think sila yung mahigpit rin sa food... ( unless magaling kayo tumakas ,siguro naman may nakakalusot dito) , yung room compare sa bellevue,no doubt mas malaki ang bellevue...although spacious din siya

Sa belleveue naman ( biased na ko ha dito kami magprep eh ) di sila mahigpit sa food, actually yung sa main wing nila (old bldg )  they have kitchen pa... Mas high ceiling dito.. Spacious din,dito sa main wing lang may 3bedroom suite ( which weve booked)...
May new building sila which is the tower wing... Bago talaga and magandang mag photo shoot,kahit sa hallway and elevator room wise, mas maluwag  kesa sa main wing kasi wala silang kitchen, pero mas mataas ceiling ng main wing... Mas modern design ng tower wing

 Sorry ang gulo ng explanation ko ...

Both hotels offer vip cards which costs around 7k, pareho ng perks and discount

If your church is st.james,fernbrooks,st.jerome... Mas accessible ang Acacia

 If your after the parking lot, mas spacious ang sa bellevue, kaya lang iikot ka pa sa likod ng bldg... Sa acacia naman,sa tabi lang lobby area nila ang basement parking

 I hope it helps.. And i hope you understand my explanation happy preps sis

yeah si h2b din na-smell yun sa hallway and the guy who assisted us said they will make improvement para hindi daw kami madistract, hehe! Sabi ng photog ko when he learned na doon, approve na approve daw kasi hindi masikip tapos expensive tingnan sa pics. goodluck sa preps sis! <3

Mga sis. Pa-help naman po. Medyo nahihirapan ako right now to find a good hotel in Manila area (intramuros, UN ave, Malate, and etc).

The reason bakit ako nahihirapan is yung time ng wedding namin. Our wedding time is 3pm sa Manila Cathedral and all hotels do not allow late checkout. That means, I need to book 2 days. Mas malaki gagastusin for the suites. :-( Iniisip ko kasi sayang ang ibabayad for the 2nd night kasi on the next day, super early kami aalis papuntang Cebu. It's around mga past 5am magcheckout na kami dahil maaga flight namin.

Please help me decide mga sisses.

Sa tingin nyo ba ok yung plano na early checkout pa din tapos medyo malayo layo yung hotel na kukunin ko para hindi masyado mag-iintay? Ang iniisip ko din is baka humulas makeup ko nyan... :-(

PLease help me mga sisses paano gagawin ko. Thanks a lot!!!

^sis, try Waterfront Hotel along UN Avenue, maluwag rooms nila. O kaya Manila Hotel and Diamond Hotel. I use agoda when booking mas nakakakuha ako discounts.

3 pinagpipilian ko na lang for me na preps, Ascott, Fraser, or Fairmont. Alin pinaka-okay kaya?

[j.adore]

3 pm wedding din kami and one of the rooms is booked for 2 days for this very reason especially if the hotel is not allowing late check out.
Mas advisable din para di kailangan magmadali mag impake o baka may maiwan.
If budget is a concern, go for the most affordable hotel for this set up.

[deathwatchspider]

sis nicola, try bayleaf. its inside intramuros. 

[nicola_juliano]

Thanks sa mga replies mga sis.

@sis avane, hindi na kaya ng budget. Aabot na ng 30-40K+ kapag nagbook ako sa mga popular hotels. Sa suites kasi, kapag 2 days ang booking mo plus yung room nila fiance, ganun ang aabot. Tapos kapag hindi pwede sa room ko ang additional heads, I need to book another for my sister and her kids. Ang nakakaloka lang, kapag nagbook sa muranchi at affordable, wala naman masyado ma-picturean sa lobby, or chaka ang lobby. My fiance told me sa White Knight na lang, no offense to them but nakita ko na itsura nung rooms dati, at ayaw ko talaga. Gusto ko may view at kahit papaano makapag-relax din mga suppliers ko (with sala area and bigger rooms will be a plus).

I am eyeing Bayleaf nga din, tapos 2 days na lang ang executive. Sa lahat, eto yung hindi ko pa napupuntahan. Gusto ko nga sana presidential suite kaso super laki na ng magagastos just for the hotel in 2 nights... May mga kino-consider din kasi ako. Like kung ilang tao pwede sa loob, kasi 4 kami + 2 kids. Sa fiance ko 3 lang sila. Outside food should be allowed kasi mamumulubi ako kapag sa hotel ko sila pinakain. Pictorials outside the rooms should also be allowed too. I-slash ko na ang late checkout kasi mukhang impossible talaga dahil February ang kasal ko at maraming magbobook. Some hotels allow late checkout but depende daw sa room availability. tee hee!.

Sa ngayon, na-rerealize ko na mali ata na 3pm yung start ng wedding namin... hehe.

After searching 10+ hotels, I realized na mas mura pa din yung ibibigay na rate ng hotel (most of them) sa iyo compared sa Agoda. Nagulat nga ako....

Masyado pa naman maaga pero sabi ko nga, we need to take care this na agad kasi February is love month so for sure, mauubusan kami. Kaya dapat ber months pa lang, booked na hotel rooms namin.

gusto ko rin sana ang Oakwood, pero naisip ko ok na ako sa Eastwood Richmonde. kelangan ko rin kasi iconsider yung proximity ng church tsaka reception.

[angel_love]

Hello mga sis! Have you heard of Picasso Boutique sa Makati? Pang wedding preps ang rooms nila.

[stupidgal]

sis Avane, fraser's room are big, lalo na yung offer nila for wedding preps, pero walang magandang angle for pictorial.

Pa-share dito ng comments pag nag-ocular ka na sa Ascott and Fairmont.

[juwie]

I'm planning to book Oakwood Ortigas din or Eastwood Richmonde. Ok ba ang lighting sa rooms nila mga sis? Thanks for providing info. Super helpful!

[cheezums]

I am looking at booking in Astoria Plaza Shaw. Best rate so far na nakita ko among good hotels in Ortigas / Shaw area. Ok ba for pictorial?

Nearest sana is Shaw Residenza, sobrang convenient ng location and ang laki pa ng suite loft type so di magulo and di masikip during preps, kaso lang mukhang di maganda for pictorial. Pero I am willing to do an ocular pa rin naman. Any feedback sa Shaw Residenza?

[Eggpudding]

^Sis. si Sis Ayi doon sila nag wedding preps noon, pero 2012 pa ata wedding nya.

Ina-eye ko din ang Astoria Plaza, Lancaster Hotel, Malayan Plaza. Isasama ko na din yung Greenhills Elan Hotel, nakita ko sa site nila mukhang okay din at spacious ang rooms nila. May nakapag wedding preps naba dito dun?
