Party Venue : Unilab's Bayanihan Center

It's our first time to attend a party at Bayanihan Center at United Laboratories' compound. In fact, the first time I heard of the place was when I got the party invites for the twins of our good friends Ning and Edison. I think the venue is more popular for corporate events rather than children's parties or weddings.

I am so pleased that I was able to learn about this 'reasonably-priced' and elegant venue that is very accessible for commuting guests and also offers free parking for those bringing their own vehicles. I would love to hold one of my children's parties here someday.

Lovely entrance to Hall A. It's a Fairy Princesses party for the twins!

 

Look at this beautiful ballroom/function room! This is Hall A which can accommodate 160 to 250 pax. It's only a portion of the huge venue that is Bayanihan Center. For large events and/or conventions, the whole events hall (Hall A and B) can easily accommodate up to 400 people.

Nails and hooks are not allowed so you have to tell you venue decorator or balloon artist to use floating balloons or to improvise a way to put in your balloons, swags, drapes and other décor materials.

This explains why the balloon artist used flying balloon tied to each table centerpiece to form an arc. Very clever and creative idea!

Bayanihan Center can be your party venue at an affordable price as follows:

Hall A (160-250 guests) - Php22,000
Hall B (140-220 guests) - Php20,000
Hall A and B (300-400 guests) - Php40,000

The fee is for 4 hours use but does not include the ingress and egress pegged at Php1500 per hour.

At Jollibee The Fort, They Don't Need A Mascot

Note: This is a cross post from my personal blog. This might entice moms to hold their party at Jollibee The Fort.

Last week, I did some treasure hunting from my closet. This week, I was sorting digital copies of pictures and found this video from almost 2 years ago when we attended Ross' 2nd birthday party at Jollibee The Fort.

It makes me laugh like crazy just watching and was reminded of how hilariously amazed we were during the actual performance. I thought we were in an audition for Pinoy Dream Academy. Production number talaga ito ng bonggang bongga!

But in fairness, how many parties at Jollibee or McDonalds have you attended and was welcomed by a dance number?

 

Sa Jollibee bida ang party host!

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 )
