City Garden Suites’ wedding reception set up

In one of our first ocular visits of City Garden Suites Manila, hubby and I were lucky enough to take a peek of their function rooms being set up for a wedding. It was the Lilac and Lavander rooms that were being dolled up then to accommodate a hundred guests.

And because guests may almost  always balloon on the last minute of your RSVP, the Lilac and Lavander rooms were also the same venues we were eying for to accommodate our guests on our event when we decided to book with them.

The couple’s table on the other hand can only be set up in two ways. One facing the reception entrance door, while the other one is at the far end of the venue. We decided to go with the first set up to give everyone a better view of us, and an illusion of a fully-maximized spaces in between table set up.

Part of CGS’s wedding package freebies if you book for a 100 guests are bridal car, 3-layered fondant cake, chocolate fountain, bubble machine, etc. On our end though, this part has been miscommunicated to us when we booked for our reception, and they had to remove the 3-layered fondant cake and bridal car by the time we were ready to pay for the 50% downpayment.

I think I have blogged about this on a previous entry. And just last week, before we paid for the remaining balance we had to make sure the free bubble machine and chocolate fountain initially offered to us are still intact with our package.

Bottom line is, we should have had everything well documented since the first time we had pre-booking. This is to avoid last minute changes on the vendor’s side and to make sure couples are well covered with their claims.
