OnK Venue / Caterer Hunt: Oasis Manila and Hizon's Catering

We had our second venue and catering hunt last February 16 at Oasis Manila with Hizon's. Hizon's Catering and Oasis Manila has been one of the top choices of future couples for their wedding. I know that the rates these suppliers are offering are out of the budget. But if we'll like it, we're ready to compensate.

They're setting up for an evening wedding. Unfortunately. it rained later in the afternoon. Hmmm... I wonder what happened with the ceremony.

It was my first time at Oasis Manila.Its vicinity is along the busy streets of Aurora. The venue is quite unnoticeable and far from our church, the reason why I immediately said 'no' to the venue.
Oasis Manila has three halls namely, Pavilion, Verandah and Orchard. During the food tasting, two other events were also held - a birthday party at the Orchard and a wedding reception at the Pavilion. Among the three, I prefer the Pavilion because it has an all-around view of the garden. But it will be too big for our 150 guests event. Orchard best suits are venue needs but unfortunately, we were not able to see the events hall because a birthday party was happening at the same time the food tasting was being held. This is another cons for me. As much as possible, we want a place where we can have privacy. Meaning, there are no other events happening at the same time, our wedding reception is being held.

We did not have that 'this is it' feeling for Oasis Manila to be our wedding venue. And so we had to look for another venue.

Hizon's Catering
I really want Hizon's to be my caterer the first day I started planning for my wedding. However, when I checked their rates, I realized that I have to look for a more affordable caterer that will suit our budget. But then again, we wanted to check if the price they offer is worth it so we attended their food tasting. The event was held at Oasis Manila's Verandah. Compared with Rich Gold, I liked the latter's styling more than Hizon's. What we saw on that day was a very basic setup. But I can say that the food they offer are way better than Rich Gold. They're of average but I can still say that they're dishes are satisfying.
