"Dizizit" Venue Hunt # 2: Oasis

Jayron finally agreed to visit Oasis during our free time yesterday. And because the contact person, Joice, was so kulit, texting, emailing, and calling all the time to follow-up when we will drop by and visit, I made sure Oasis would be the next venue to check out (and because it's very accessible by the LRT from Cubao, where h2b and I both live). From Gilmore Station, we walked under the scourging heat of the afternoon sun to Oasis and waited for Joice at the office (we were both relieved they had good AC). She showed us the rates (which she already emailed) and also the table setup samples. Then we went to the upper floor to The Verandah:

Very spacious, with a view of the garden. For 2013 (until November), their rate would be Php 196,000 net for 5 hours use of The Verandah, for 150pax. 

Joice showed us The Orchard next:

It would be spacious enough for 150 guests, but we didn't like the view too much. You'll see more of the LRT station than of the garden and some old buildings from across the street which are kind of an eyesore. But then again, you can always pull down the blinds. :-) The rate for The Orchard for 2013 (until November) is Php 135,500 net for 100pax. Additional P625/guest, which will add up to Php 166,750 for 150pax. If we opt to exclude the cake and photo booth from the package, it would be 6k less. Still pricey...

Here are some more photos from the email Joice sent me:

COMMENTS:

The place is nice, but I think we can still find some other venues with lower rates.
