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: Whitespace Manila

Planning a grand celebration for more than 300 people and wants to do away with hotel reception? There's a venue in Makati that could accommodate that crowd (up to 450) and still exude a grand, luxurious atmosphere.

Here's Whitespace.

720sqm of all white space (hence, the name) that can be setup any way you wan it - garden-themed debut party, a Victorian fantasy wedding, Carnival-inspired children's party and many more. The possibilities are endless with this huge hall with no huge obstructing pillars whatsoever.

The rental cost could be an game-ender though for those on a budget. The whole 720sqm hall can be had at Php140,000 (VAT excluded) for 5 hours use, while the smallest hall (Hall A) with a 150-seating capacity costs Php55,000 (add VAT).

The rental includes a basic sound system, caterer's gallery (a room with glass walls so you can view the caterer's activities), 5-hour use of dressing room and lounge, bathrooms with dedicated attendants and use of parking space (23 slots free). 

For more details and to view their packages, visit their website. I recommend watching their video to see how they transformed the huge space into unbelievably beautiful debut and wedding venues.

Party Venue: One San Miguel Avenue Bldg Function Room (9th Floor)

This is the newly renovated (improved) 9th Floor Function Room at One San Miguel Avenue (OSMA) Building.

Cafeteria in the morning but it's a good and spacious function room for parties on weekends. The function room is operated too by Baby Nathan's Kitchen as with the 49th Floor function room also at OSMA.

Prior to renovation, this function room rents out for Php15,000 +10% service charge for 4 hours use including food. After the improvement, mainly the lights (those hanging balls ala Miley Cirus) and the flooring, they've raised the rent to Php25,000 + 10% service charge.
