Venue & Food = Shakey's Quezon Ave.
https://www.shakeyspizza.ph
Price : 25k inclusive of food (10 monster meals), 2hr use of venue, and 2k corkage for my 2 foodcarts
Rating : 2 stars
Hmm. I have been ranting & ranting about this supplier on forums, please heed my warning.
Our time slot is 4-6PM where there is a 1hr in between for ingress & egress of the party you will follow. We arrived 3:30 due to the traffic on West Ave. from our place and I saw that the party is still on going! I asked my husband to look for a person to talk to and he keeps getting passed to a different person. He looked for the manager and that's when I decided to take matters on my hand. Kahit high blood na ako (obvious talaga kasi kahit kumare ko told me to calm down) I asked calmly kung late ba ang sinundan namin. The manager answered, hindi po. As in yun lang ang sagot nya. So I inquired more, "So bakit hindi pa kami pwede makapag-setup? Bakit late na sila?" Sagot lang nya "Kasi po iba ang kinuha nilang host". I was like, so problema ko ba yun??? I told them ano na ang gagawin nyo eh andito na ang mga bisita ko dapat kanina pa nakasetup ang balloon supplier ko. No apology was verbally made, he just said they will allow us to extend. I told myself to calm down na lang ang focus on other things.
The cheap price I got is not worth the high blood I got! I would advise that if you decide to push through on this place, be there more than an hour early and pester them to tell the party before you to end on time.
Thank goodness the food was plenty and cheap, kungdi 1 star lang sila. Hmp!

Price : 11,500 photo service, edited softcopies, video, mtv teaser video & edited video of whole event.
Rating : 4 stars
I found about Shuttercount via FemaleNetwork. I was supposed to get my officemate for photos kaso mapapagastos ako pag hiwalay pa so I decided to get them for both.
On the event, they are very nice people, Benj & Rayan. I love how they act unobtrusive, and whenever they need something from me they present solutions agad. Which made them a hassle free supplier, unlike Shakeys. Hmp. Hahaha!
After the event, I got to see our video teaser a week after, i was so happy & impressed! ganda ng quality, I like the shots taken, song was very apt sa mood ng video.
Medyo natagalan nga lang kami na makuha yung soft copies ng photos at video. Parang kung di pa nga tatawagan ni Albert eh di namin malalaman kung ipapadala na. Arrived yesterday via Xend. In fairness, apologetic naman sila and i did not actually mind waiting as long as ok ang output. =)
3) The Pastry Garden Bakeshop
https://www.facebook.com/ThePastryGardenBakeshop
Price : 3,300 for two layer cake all edible cake, inclusive of candle & delivery (for QC area only)
Rating : 5 Stars
I can definitely say I am a certified suki na ni Ms. Ruby. I just love her cakes! Yummy, moist, not too sweet! I got a two layer all edible cake from her, all chocolate flavored. I just gave her my peg for the look of the cake and that's it! Nagdala pa ako sa office nung Monday after and a lot of people asked me where I bought the cake, sarap daw. =)
4) YnaChiz Balloons & Party Needs
5) Sweet Services Food Carts
Ayan, natapos din! ang saya ko talaga (masaya din si hubby pero I cant seem to get over haha) kasi nameet ko yung projected budget namin tapos masaya ang mga bisita. Si Dhakey's lang talaga ang panira, haha! Pero wala talagang perfect event, ang dami kong natutunan dito kaya if ever Aidan will have another brother/sister, I will still do the same. =)
