We went to a lot of possible reception venues but sa lahat ng nakita ko, Blue Leaf talaga pinaka gusto ko. When i learned of rates ng Blue Leaf, I thought it was too expensive considering venue lang talaga sya. I went to check out North Forbes Park...nagustuhan ko din sya but my problem was on who would sponsor us. I considered other clubhouses but i thought i would also have to hire a event stylist so baka my expenses would actually sum up to be the same if we go for BlueLeaf. When Dino gave me the go signal to book Blue Leaf, super happy talaga ako. We also considered having our reception at Dusit or Crowne since we thought the expenses might actually be the same but i was medyo worried about the food. Minsan kasi pag functions na, the food does not turn out to be that good.

I never had a problem dealing with Eia. Since my wedding was on a weekday, they also gave me a discount. I had to pay for the LCD technician, i don't know ano naging role nya for the day but just the same I didn't want to take the chance of not hiring one. My only disappointment talaga was the electricity. I considered just taping sa breaker nila since wala naman kami kasabay na event but i didn't want to take the risk either so i just got a genset (from sensitivity). Parking was not a problem for our guests din since we were the only event that night.

We got our security deposit 2 days after the wedding. I just called the office to check if everything was okay and if had incurred any additional charges. They said wala naman and that we could pick up the check we left as security deposit. Since we were to leave for cebu na, my dad just got it after dropping as off at the airport.

Things to consider: If not for the hassle with the electricity, I would have rated them a 10. That's really my only issue with them because it was something that was never mentioned when I was inquiring or even when I was reserving. I only knew of it after talking to MeAnne of Sensitivity and reading posts at w@w.
