Party Venue: Castillo Royale Ortigas

If you're up and about to executing a Royal themed party, this is THE venue. Castillo Royale perfectly suits a magical party fit for a princess to be. 

Look at that ceilings with fabulous swags! It's even more charming when the lights are on and with extra decorations. I was shown a photo of a sample basic setup and it's already good as it is.

A powder/dressing room is also provided at the mezzanine. Brides or debutantes can have the dramatic entrance through the elegant staircase.

This ballroom is at the 5th Floor of MORE Building and can accommodate up to 350 guests. It is huge, clean (as it is relatively new) and without obstructing pillars.

Rental fee is at Php40,000 for 4 hours use. It includes 15 tables and 150 pieces of Tiffany chairs. There's a corkage fee for clients bringing outside caterers since they also have packages that includes food and complete amenities.

Party Venue : Park Place Swimming Pool

If your child's birthday falls on April or May, it's likely that you want to do a swimming party. The question is where do you hold an exclusive swimming party without paying an arm and a leg? Good news for residents of Cainta, Taytay or Pasig, there is a swimming pool tucked neatly in Park Place Executive Homes that could cater to a wade and splash party or just a simple family gathering.

I am recommending the place based on my personal experience. I had my son's birthday party blocked from 12 noon until 6 o'clock in the evening and I say that time is just enough for kids and adults alike to wade in the pool, bond with your guests through good food and drinks and even sing 'til your lose your voice with their karaoke for rent (a measly price of Php400!) 

 

The swimming pool is huge, clean and well-maintained. There is a separate section for kids which is perfect for wading.

For a fee of Php5000 (for daytime use), you can rent the whole swimming pool plus the covered dining hall for 6 whole hours. That's half a day of water fun already for the little ones!

The dining hall has about 6 ceiling and wall fans which should be enough to cool down the place in the merry months of December to February, but come summer time, it could still be hellish hot! Bring extra fans if you must!

 

There are also Nipa cottages for rent inside the pool vicinity and outside (rental fees on top of the reservation for the pool).

Below are more details (lifted from their FB account):

Php. 5,000.00 ( day time )
Php. 7,000.00 ( night time )
6 hrs only (time allotment for reservation)
50 persons allowed per reservation
400.00 videoke rental
50.00/ head non-swimmers
300.00 cottages (inside the pool )
(NO FOODS AND DRINKS ALLOWED inside the pool)
500.00 cottages ( outside the pool )

Party Venue: Village East Clubhouse

For Cainta residents looking for a great venue for weddings, debuts or birthday parties, the clubhouse of Village East Executive Homes offers 3 venues.

The cafe area (open air hall) at the ground floor can perfectly fit 80 to 100 guests and is great for semi formal and evening gatherings. It's comfortable even with just only the ceiling fans especially during late afternoon 'til evening.

For larger parties, the Function Room at the 2nd floor can easily accommodate up to 200 people. It is fitted with enough air-conditioning units to keep the guests cool throughout the event. The room is also L-shaped which suits parties that need a separate area for photo booths, kiddie salon, and other whatnot.

For summer parties, the swimming pool area including the covered hall and tables can be reserved for 4 hours.

Best of all for this venue is that the staff at the Admin office are very accommodating and easy to talk to. Look for Nonet if interested.
