Party Venue: Delicere

Private and Intimate. Exact words to describe this beautiful venue in Marikina.

Delicere is a garden inspired café and restaurant in Marikina City. Outside the resto is their glass-enclosed events venue that is simple yet beautiful.

This cozy and charming function room can accommodate up to 50 persons only and is perfect for intimate gatherings like christenings and small family reunions. However, if you have up to 100 guests and is open for an outdoor party, they have the whole garden available for your exclusive use.

Perfect for day time parties but I bet this is equally stunning for evening affairs especially with their huge trees adorned with fairy lights.

 

Rental for the venue is free for a minimum consumable amount of Php50,000 for food and drinks. They have buffet menus to choose from and additional food may be ordered from their restaurant.

Party Venue : East Ortigas Mansions

Tucked  somewhere in Ortigas Avenue Extension in Pasig is a small and quiet low rise condominium community by DMCI named East Ortigas Mansions.

 

It's one of the first private residential communities developed by the Consunji-owned property developer and has the signature resort-type facilities like a huge pool, gym and of course, a club house.

 

East Ortigas Mansion's Clubhouse is an spacious venue ideal for children's parties and even debut celebrations.

It can comfortably accommodate up to 120 persons in a banquet setup.

 

They also have a Karaoke Room that can be added to the booking if you need a room to entertain VIP guests or an after-party entertainment.

 

There are also two billiard tables permanently setup and these cannot be moved and removed. Personally, I think this one of the disadvantages of this venue but if you are creative enough, this area can be used for candy buffet or dessert setup.

 



 

 

This venue can be rented for only Php13000 for 4 hours (plus 2 hours ingress, 1 hour egress). Homeowner's sponsorship or endorsement is required to be able to reserve.

Halloween Party Food Ideas

Planning an office Halloween party and everything is just DIY? Here are a few food ideas.

Deviled eggs topped with creepy crawlers. There a lot of deviled egg recipes in the internet that you can use but the simple trick here is to source spider jellies to bring out Halloween feel.

 

My colleague who runs a small catering business on the side sells coffee jelly in shot glasses. They are always a big hit in our office parties so we decided to add this to our Halloween menu and just put worm jellies to "spice it up".

 

 

Another easy peasy finger food is quail eggs.  Just add a drop or two of red food coloring and you now have pierced eye-balls in your party spread.

Grilled and barbequed food are always a big hit so why not leverage on that by adding grilled goodies with a twist (chicken feet, pig's blood, chicken intestines).

In  any party, especially with limited budget, creativity is key.
