Hi Everyone,
We went to Tagaytay last Saturday to finally do an Ocular and since more than 1 month ko na pinaghahandaan yung mga venues to visit, nag-Come up na kame with a list kung ano lang yun i-oocular namen and they should have the ff criteria: Has an Indoor Venue, Open for all Caterers and Low to Mid range Cost, pag lalagpas ng 100K for the Venue itself kahit maganda give up ko na.
So, we happen to see the ff: (*Disclaimer: Our reviews eh based lang sa personal wants namen)
1.
Teofely Gardens (Not in Tagaytay though dinaanan lang) - Ayaw ni H2B, di na nga kame nagPark, for him maliit yung place and walang special something for us.
2.
The Veranda - the road going to the place seemed like forever, di ko alam if malayo pa kame sa place pero di na tinuloy ni H2B, waste of time na daw baka magalit pa daw mga bisita namen.
3.
Taalena - Medyo disappointed ako kala ko malaki sya hinde pala masyado, but during our visit may ongoin set up si L&J Catering mukhang elegant naman yung dating nya kasi the indoor venue will look masikip if we are having 200pax.
4.
Casa Blanca - same as Taalena, masikip for me, pero breath-takingly beautiful ang view, wala lang kameng nakausap kasi parang busy lahat ng tao sa loob di ko alam if the place was privately rented pero bakit pinayagan kame pumasok walang bantay sa gate, and another thing is napakasikip ng parking.
5.
Villa Ibarra - eto okay for me, may enough parking and presentable yung place itself, kaso ang baba ng ceiling, tapos 150pax max lang yung indoor magagamit yung parang terrace outside for add'l 50pax, eh san namen gaganapin yung Ceremony and wala pa ding "this is it" feeling.
6.
Bali Garden - papasok pa lang kame sabi na agad ni H2B, seems like we found it
relaxing yung ambience nya, and they have a large pavillion talaga which I wanted for the reception, kaso wala silang garden or over-looking place for my ceremony but glad they have a Chapel na pwede for intimate ceremony kaya nagustuhan namen, too bad wala kameng nakausap na sales person kaya di pa din kame nakapagpaBooked.
So yun, after Bali, we decided not to go through other places na kasi convinced na kame ni H2B, when we got home naghanap ako ng mga reviews about the place, kaso wala masyado except sa mga unpleasant experience sa mga rooms and kubo's nila kaya parang nababawasan yung conviction ko, dun na din sana kame kukuha ng mga large rooms for our families and for the preps as well.
If anyone here could share insights sana i will highly appreciate.
Thank you.
