bday suppliers
Not that we have lots of them, but still I wanted to share how efficient/inefficient they were during the bday celebration of baby Gwenks'.
For this party, we got Jollitown Theme plus Dora on the side
Venue - Jolibee Sta. Rosa Commercial Complex - 8.5/10
Initially, we wanted a resort for the venue. Months prior to the bday celebration, we wanted a swimming theme. But as time goes by,we noticed baby Gwenks' fascination with Jolibee. She would shout and wave at every Jolibee statue that she sees. She would also participate in bday events that we attend to that were held at Jolibee branches. This made tatay decide that we should go for a Jolibee package too.
The first venue that we inquired was at Jolibee Sta.Rosa Balibago near Walter Mart. We were thinking of the convenience of visitors from Manila but later on we changed our mind to Jolibee Sta. Rosa Commercial Complex due to its proximity and accessibility to guests coming from both Manila and Laguna. Those coming from Manila will just cross the street from the terminal, while those from Laguna (Sta. Rosa and San Pedro) will be directly in front of the store once they alight the jeeps.
We were able to talk to 'Lloyd', the one in-charge with the party packages for that day. He was nice to talk to and he explained the packages well. We were set to take the 12-2 slot but someone reserved the time earlier. The slot remaining was 3-5 which was also okay for us. We booked for 80 individuals; 50 adults and 30 children and got room 1 which can accommodate 90 people (though tatay thinks that the room is small to accommodate that number of individuals). As for the food, we ordered the Popo package for the kids and Create-ur own for the adults. One week prior to the event, we ordered for the cake since we cannot find anything that will go well with the Jollitown Theme.
On the day itself:
Balloon setup was allowed by 2pm or after the first party. The crew were able to fix the room fast. They were also able to provide for the needs of sis Rocks and company (if any). They give in to our requests like putting up the tarp, the lootbags and gift table. The party started around 3:15pm and ended right before 5 pm.
Pros:
* The crew and hosts were able to make the party lively. Special thanks to tita Hazel because she was actively joining them in their spiels.
* Their dance presentations were a plus. They did 2 dances, which is not common to Jolibee parties.
* The party was well-organized and was made within the designated time.
Cons:
* The room was small for the guests. If we had more than 80 people inside, it would have been difficult to move in between tables.
* They cannot contain the crowd when Jolibee went in. The picture taking was 'magulo'.
* The package we ordered was not followed. They only informed me about this when guests were already finished eating. The sundaes were not served, instead they were insisting that I just avail of the additional mascot in place of it. I opted to have an upgrade for the desert since I feel that the food is somewhat 'bitin' for the adults. I upgraded to ice craze which was served only when the guests were already leaving since it took them sometime to prepare for 50 pcs of it.
* I lost a bag of chocolate and several lootbags, which I left inside a box
though I would have given it to them if they only asked for it.
Overall - We were satisfied with the Jolibee package that we had. If we would have another party, we will definitely go to them again. I'll just make sure that I won't end up getting any adult acne on the last minute.
