Initimate Garden Parties at 14 Four Cafe

Who would have thought that a stunning garden party venue is tucked somewhere in the quiet neighborhood in Brgy. San Isidro in Taytay? The venue seems far but near enough to be reached by public transportation as it's close to Ortigas Avenue Extension.

 

14 Four Café is an small garden café owned by a family of furniture designers, hence, the beautifully crafted sofas and tables used the resto.

If you prefer an intimate In-Room dining party, their airconditioned dining room can accommodate up to 25 people. You'd be welcomed by uniquely designed furniture that would surely trigger those Instagram-worthy poses.



 For larger parties of up to 80 guests, the patio area is just as lovely. It's perfect for debuts, office events and even christening receptions.

14 Four Café can be booked for private events by simply availing of their party packages which come with consumable food and use of venue for three (3) hours.

Party Venue: Velada Estate

Tucked neatly in lower Antipolo City, and within the confines of Villa Cecilia Subdivision is a lovely venue that is perfect for weddings and debuts.

Velada Estate and Events Place is like a gem waiting to be discovered with it's beautifully designed and fully air conditioned pavilion called El Patio.

El Patio can accommodate up to 300 guests, accentuated with draped ceiling that added a romantic ambiance to the venue.

We were lucky there was a food tasting event ongoing (we just chanced upon) by Buffet Runners so the pavilion has tables and chairs setup.

For couples who prefer an outdoor reception or a garden wedding, El Fuenta is your perfect venue with 620 square meters of lush greens, a fountain and trellis. It is also right across El Casa which serves as VIP room and lounge for the wedding entourage.

This is La Casa which has a huge and cozy VIP lounge for your guests while waiting for the reception program. It also has a Bride's Room that can be used for wedding preparations and shoots. Velada Estate can include in the package the use of La Casa.

Now the cost. Velada Estate offers wedding and debut packages for 150 and 200 guests. They have partnered with select caterers for their packages. In my opinion, approximately Php250,000 for 200 guests is already fair especially if it includes the use the pavilion and full catering.

Should you wish to contract a non-accredited caterer, Velada will charge a 20% corkage fee. The venue rental is Php90,000 for 4 hours use of the pavilion.
