Evercrest Golf Club Resort Hotel
Dinner Reception: El Patio Restaurant, Evercrest Hotel
We immediately liked the idea of having our wedding reception at El Patio Restaurant (Evercrest Golf Club Resort, Inc.) which was right across Chapel on the Hill. We knew that it would be easy for our guests to simply park their car in the secure parking area of the hotel and walk right across to the chapel. Although the chapel has enough space for parking, most of the guests opted to park in the hotel’s area. It was such a breather to see hundreds of guests joyfully walking to the reception venue from the chapel which was literally, a stone-throw away.
The restaurant, the only venue in the hotel that can accommodate a big group, was quite a challenge for coming up with a good seating arrangement for two hundred and fifty guests (our final headcount was actually close to three hundred!). The shape of the restaurant was a big test to address. The hotel AE, Diane, was creative enough to come up with a solution – place the buffet tables on the porch area (guests will have a good view of the well-maintained golf course and at the same time, feel the cool december breeze on their faces).
It was a convenient place for us to house our family, hold our reception, and the presidential suite, then newly renovated, was a perfect place for my preparations.
They closed the restaurant after breakfast and they started to fix the place for our dinner reception. The staffs were nice and friendly. But do not be deceived. Read my rants.
Wedding Reception Package:
One Presidential Suite
One Junior Suite
Buffet Dinner
Set Breakfast for 4 (Presidential Suite)
Set Breakfast for 2 (Junior Suite)
Three tier Wedding Cake with Color Motiff (grr!)
Pair of Doves and Wedding Cage
Guest Book
Venue arrangements:
Elevated Presidential table for bride and groom
Dance Floor
Table for Cakes and Gifts
Registration Table
Cobalt Blue Motiff (skirting for bufett table only)
White Tulle set up with series lights on the ceiling
Rave: Like (for convenience and good presentation of the restaurant, and for the fun we had there) but I will definitely NOT hold any special occasion there AGAIN.
Rant: A lot!
1. My AE left me on the day of my wedding, turning over her supposedly task of overseeing our wedding reception to another staff that I was not even able to meet saying that her Saturday duty is only half-day. I remembered it right the first time she told me that she stayed until the reception is finished for all of her clients. She informed me that she was leaving while I was having my make up and so I couldn’t react violently (well, I really could have – grrrrrr!)
2. Many unopened bottles of wine were left – only a few were consumed for the ceremonial toast. My cousin/ninong brought it all the way from Vienna, Austria. We only went downstairs for studio pictorial, the bottles were gone – all of them, when we came back.
3. We never saw the rest of left-over foods (we could have given it to our family members who were also billeted in the hotel).
4. Foods served were not as palatable as those served during our taste test. I hardly ate that night but seeing the food presentation in the picture later on and hearing the feedback of our guests, I could’ve gotten a trusty caterer instead.
5. Our wedding cake was a big disaster! For a five grand, it looked like a one grand bargain item! Even if I gave our AE the photo of the exact cake I wanted, the result was simply awful! There were splotches all over, the finish was not polished, it looked like it was rushly made! Maybe it was also one of the reasons our AE didn’t stay! The jewel of our reception was a fake! : (
6. The girl who did my nails (and that of my brother and cousins), who was highly referred to us by the hotel AE, literally held us up! She charged us P500 each, ate dinner at the hotel (our expense) and slept at the presidential suite with us! (Well, she actually did not sleep but “checked on” every wedding accessory she could lay her eyes on! – poor kuya, he did not sleep at all – “guarding” our wedding paraphernalia!) What more, my cousin’s nail polish came off after she took shower the following day – my wedding day! Well, the price you pay for having a wedding in a far-flung place where salons hardly exist : (
7. I left my personal bible at the presidential suite – a worn, out, reliable old bible that I never got back – despite several times of following up.
8. Haaah! Talk about wedding disasters!
