Non-Hotel Venues
Non-hotel venues provide us better flexibility since they allow us to choose from among their accredited caterers. See catering options

When considering non-hotel venues, we look at venue facilities and ask

• is it air-conditioned?
• is it big enough?
• are the toilets clean?
• is it accessible?
• does it include sound/lighting systems?
• does it have a standby generator?
• does it have sufficient parking?
• is there a dance floor?
• etc, etc

Hotel Venues
Hotel venues are normally more expensive, and offer less food choices. Hotels will require minimum revenues depending on the size, location of the venue within the hotel.

Hotels will normally not allow outside caterers to provide the food and drinks. Most food packages will have only one free drink, which is insufficient for a long affair such as our planned graduation ball from 6pm to midnight.

Additional drinks are normally P150 to P250 per, a bit prohibitive to most students.

Hotel published rates are normally VAT exclusive, hence most hotel proposals have fine print stating rates are exclusive of VAT and subject to 10 to 20% service charge. Hence we should expect to pay 22 to 32% more than quoted.
