On Sonya's Garden

Reception: Sonya’s Garden
Rating: Highly Recommended

We started scouting for reception venues last February 2008. We went to Tagaytay para magocular sa mga reception venues dun. Ung pagpunta nmn sa Sonya’s Garden was really accidental lang. We were on our way to MC Mountain to inquire on their rates since we were considering them for Matt’s Preps. Tapos we saw the sign board going to Sonya’s Garden sabi ni Matt why don’t we try to look at the place sabi ko cge pero kasi hindi ko gusto ung menu nila jan, pang vegetarian. Pero we still went. Our first time there and iba talga ang place na un. We were immediately amazed with the place parang nasa ibang lugar talga. The air smelled wonderful the surroundings are very beautiful. I loved their small resting place na may kulambo. Sobrang relaxing nung place… sarap ng feeling. We went around and surveyed the venues. First, we went to the morning glory venue. It was beautiful with the garden inside… we knew our guests would love the place. I especially love their very clean restrooms. Ang bango bango… amoy malinis talga. Hehehehe…. Then we went to the sunflower venue, that time mejo new pa lng sha. Comments ng ibang w@wies kita daw ung parking area since d pa marami ung plants sa harap. The venue was simple pero we liked the layout. Kasi nga parang pang party talga sha unlike morning glory na pahaba ung layout. We didn’t book the place right away kala kasi nmn may bayad heehhehe…. We went back for dinner para matikman nmn ung food nila and we loved it nmn. Kala nga nmn madami cla inoofer na dishes, basic salad pasta and dessert lang pala. Hehehe…. When we went back to the hotel, diniscuss nmn ung venue and we decided to have it in Sonya’s Garden since pde nmn magpasok ng ibang viands for those people na gusto ng meat. The next morning pumunta ulit kami to book Morning Glory. We went back to Sonya’s nung March na for our Foodtasting and to pay our DP. Kasama na nmn parents nmn nun and when they saw the place they loved it. Pero sabi nila mas ok daw ung Sunflower venue since maganda nga daw ang layout nya. Nung time na un maganda na ung sunflower. Marami na improvements as compared before. So we changed our booking to Sunflower.
During the Preps, we first had Nhor as our AE. Then napalitan sha ni Gerlie because she’s on leave daw, I don’t know. Hehhehe… pero I was relieved nmn kasi mejo d ko gustong AE c Nhor since ang tagal nya magreply sa text. Minsan hindi pa. As compared to Gerlie na madaling kausap and mabilis ang kilos and mabilis din magreply. She was very accommodating sa mga requests nmn.
During the wedding, the sunflower venue was super beautiful. With all the flowers around. Sobrang ganda ng lugar. Wala talga ako masabi. Sonya’s Garden is Sonya’s Garden. As far as I know wala kmi naging major problem sa kanila. Maayos ang layout, all or requests were granted. Maganda ung set up ng buffet. The only comment I can give cguro is mejo mabagal ang mga waiters. We were not served food right away. E sobrang gutom na gutom na kmi nun. Hehehe… Missy was the one to get Lechon for us pa. Sobrang kinukulit nya ung mga waiters to give us food. Hehehhe… kahit water d kami naservan. Also ung dessert was served late. Hindi lahat nakapagdessert. We should have included it sa buffet para lahat nakakuha.
