Splendid Indeed - Booking our Dream Venue

When Keith and I looked for our reception venue in Tagaytay, we wanted a venue that will have a breathtaking view of Taal, can hold an intimate reception of about 100-120pax, elegant landscape and of course affordable.

We researched for possible venues in Tagaytay from wedding magazines, wedding blogs, our ever helpful group W@W and wedding forums like Girl Talk. We listed all possible venues, route that we are going and sending out emails inquiring venue rates and one early Saturday morning we drove to Tagaytay for an occular.  After a day's work and 5 venues we went to.. we felt we found our venue.

Our initital venue choice was Le Jardin Rosella. We looked in to Paradiso, the biggest among their gardens. It's gardens where beautifully arranged and kept. However it did not have a view of Taal. It can hold upto 150pax or more but it is a little costly for us. But we decided then that maybe we can manage. We gave ourselves a week to think about it.

A week after our occular, we attended a bridal fair in Megamall. Keith and I met Ms. Evelyn Legaspi of Flowers of May. We hit off instantly and gave our ideas for our wedding. We asked her for venues in Tagaytay. She asked us if we have already looked in Splendido and asked their rates. We said that we always saw Splendido ads in Magazines and even passed by it when we were going to one of our possible venues, but we never really looked at it or agreed to take a peak  because we thought it will be too costly for us, but we were suprised when she mentioned that Splendido's venue rate fits our budget.

We spoke to Caren Gatdula of Ladera. They are the exclusive caterer for Splendido. Credits for these lovely picture she emailed to us.

Splendido Golf Club Venue 

I love the Tuscan / Mediterranean design of the venue. It has a homey feel fit for our intimate wedding idea.
