Wedding Preps Venue: The Hunt begins...

I never thought that looking for a venue that we'll use the day before and after the wedding would be difficult. Initially, we wanted to get Linden Suites but my future mother-in-law suggested that we get a place near Enderun. Marriot, Shangri-la Makati, Maxim, Dusit Thani and Manila Peninsula are out. They're out of the budget. So I turned to W@W community and talked to another bride-to-be who's also getting married at Enderun. She suggested The Luxe Residences which we visited last Saturday. Their 2-bedroom apartment costs P9,030 per night and their 1-bedroom apartment costs P4,830 per night. Not bad right? They have nice rooms and literally 10 minutes away from Enderun but then I am bit concerned that there's no AC unit at the living room of the 1-bedroom apartment. Suppliers and guests will be there and room temperature matters for sure. I also don't like the fact that they will call the rooms at 10pm just to ask us if we still have guests. It has a curfew. So dormitory-like. 

So, I considered another one, The Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences which is in Salcedo Village, Makati. I like that Salcedo has a park and a lot of restaurants. It's also near Ayala Triangle and Landmark in case we need to buy stuff at the last minute. They don't charge corkage for take-out food and their rooms rates are reasonable too! Take a look at some of the pictures I got from their facebook account.

 I fell in love with The Picasso Suite instantly. I need big space for the suppliers who will be there during my preps. We'll be visiting the place one of these days. I hope!
