Group Event Planning Tips — Manila

Book 4–8 Weeks Ahead

Manila's best group dining venues fill fast, especially Dec–Jan and holiday season. Corporate bookings should be confirmed 2 months in advance with signed function agreement.

Request a Site Visit

Major hotels and restaurants welcome site inspections before signing. Walk through the space, check AV setup, and taste the menu before committing your guest list.

Confirm Set Menu vs. Buffet

For 20–40 pax, a plated set menu often gives better quality control than buffet. For 100+ guests, hotel buffet or family-style service is typically more practical.

Negotiate Corporate Rates

Most Manila hotel restaurants offer 10–20% corporate discount for companies with regular group bookings. Request a corporate account with your chosen venue.
