Wedding Reception: StoneCrest Clubhouse

Since we do have a non negotiable Church which is St. Peregrine Laziosi in Muntinlupa, we really had a hard time looking for our “This is it” wedding reception. Because we are on the South Area, there are not so very much choices. I do not want a hotel wedding reception as I want an exclusive and homey feel. And also, hotel reception may double up our budget. We also prefer not getting an in-house catering as hiring a professional caterer for me will do so much better in terms of food and styling since it’s their forte and main business. So what we were planning is looking for a spacious clubhouse or a resort so we can do an after-pool party. We had our list and nah-dah…

First option is in Lindenwoods however endorsement from the residents is needed and they do not accept early reservations.

Another option is to push through in finding a resort near the area however we can’t find a resort that will fit 150pax and not very pleasant looking for a wedding. Some garden receptions we checked only allowed in-house catering, and also, not very pretty.

Then on our way home, we decided to check StoneCrest Village Clubhouse.

Initially its not part of our option as we thought it’s too much for our budget. We saw 20k only for the 4 hours rental plus corkage fees. And the pictures we saw in the internet were not that pleasing. However we still decided to check the place since it’s along our way.

Then we had the “This is it”

Spacious and beautiful, since another gate separates the clubhouse from the residential area, it had a homey feel for us. The person-in-charge was also accommodating and gave all the information we need. We realized that we have an option to rent the pool deck or the function hall or both. The 20k posted is for the entire place, so you know, if you’ll rent either of the two, its not really bad.

Styling is possible as you can decorate and add DIY decorations to make it more personalize and with the theme.

What we do not like is it’s true that they do have a lot of corkage fee that can eat huge amount. So we decided to stick to their accredited caterer as it has the biggest corkage fee.

It’s fairly accessible as long as you’ll take the expressway route. We initially wanted a garden, open space venue but who knows weather now is unpredictable so we booked the banquet hall.
