Ocular Inspection at Makati Shangrila

Had an ocular inspection at Makati Shangrila yesterday and what can I say - talagang maganda, very elegant and classy talaga if you'll be having your wedding there. It would be my first time to coordinate a wedding here at Makati Shang and I am very excited (Matusalem-Vallestero Nuptials on February 15, 2010 wedding).


I was assisted by Ms. Avril Mariano - Events Manager of Makati Shang and very customer oriented and accommodating as she showed me Quezon Ballroom by accompanying me to the place and giving me suggestions of how to decorate the place.

My client Michelle (who's a very cool soon-t0-be bride by the way) will be having her wedding reception at Makati Shang and I need to check how big is Quezon Ballroom and what style can be incorporated with it.

The Quezon Ballroom has a 375 pax capacity - however Michelle's guests would comprises of 150 pax only, so we are thinking of what other things to include in the Ballroom (like photobooth, photo gallery of the couple etc.)


The Quezon Ballroom has a center foyer and low ceiling area so we really need to conceptualize how to make it more elegant and how the foyer will not distract the guests nor make it the center of attention in the venue.


Thank God, I'll be attending the free career enhancement seminar of Themes & Motifs on July 28 at PICC Forum, CCP Complex. One of the seminar is about Events Styling and the presentor will be Mr. Henry Pascual (whew! I am sooo excited to see him conduct lecture about event styling and learn new ideas for him). And hopefully through that seminar it will give me ideas how to event style the Quezon Ballroom.
