Super okay yung food tasting (syempre its food and its free!). Kidding aside, we enjoyed it because the staff and chefs of Island Cove and the Banquets Manager, Ms. Sharon, were all very accommodating. We didn’t feel hesitant or reluctant asking questions about the food. We were also fortunate that we had a company, a group of school administrators were also having a food tasting for their JS Prom.
We were served (2) sets of menus and boy, in super huge portions. I was told we can bring 2 more persons along but because it’s a weekday, our best men were both busy. I won’t divulge the food we chose) The 2 separate menu sets were served to us to be tasted, frankly speaking, it was a hard decision to make. In the end, we only had to choose 1 menu or at least combine the best of both menus.
I had been on strict diet pa naman so I didn’t consume the rice; instead I opted for the viands.Ms. Sharon also finalized the details of our event like the arrangement of the presidential table, the backdrop design, the table setting, place cards, menu cards, lighting, the corkage fees, the standees/easel, crew meals, ingress and egress time, sound system inclusions and some of my special requests (which were all granted…yippee!). Its’ such a breeze to work with the Island Cove staff, I didn’t find any difficulty making special arrangements like when I said that I wouldn’t be availing of the souvenirs included in the package, Ms. Sharon immediately offered a Superior Room with breakfast for two in lieu of those souvenirs….o di ba? She even waived the LCD rental and gave extension for the 4hr use of the reception venue. And since we got an event stylist, I asked her if we can just have the flower in loose for the perusal of our stylist and as expected, it was granted.
After, discussing the details, we signed the contracts already and chose the design for our cakes. The cake we chose was inspired by Cake Artistry by Susie-Q. It’s a three-tiered stacked fondant cake in Vanilla Flavor. The upper tier is relatively thicker than the middle and the base and adorned with eyelets and a quilted finish with summer flowers on top. The middle and base of the cake are decorated with bows in our motif. We are scheduled to pay the remaining balance by March. Until then…
