The Bellevue

This is the first hotel that I will be including in my reviews, since hotels packages also include bridal suites, I will also comment on this whenever doing a hotel review. Located in Alabang, Muntinlupa, it seems to be the only multi star hotel in the immediate vicinity. It is the logical (only) choice for business people who need to do some business in and around the south.

Firstly, the bridal suite is an executive suite, complete with a king sized bed, living area and kitchen. It is by no means big (actually looks pretty small for a suite), it is nicely put together with great attention to detail. Problems arise when the bride comes from a big family and everybody wants in on the bridal suite, needless to say it can get pretty crowded very quickly. But again if it can be helped that only a maximum of 5 people stay in the bridal suite (not including the makeup artists, dress maker, photographers and videographers) it can be pretty comfortable in there.
The Bridal suite

The Bellevue has a very large ballroom that can be divided into 3 smaller ballrooms each capable of handling an event for 150 guests on their own, but combined the huge ballroom can accommodate a good 600 guests easily. Aesthetically it is one of the most modern and beautifully crafted ballrooms. The best part about the Bellevue ballroom is that there is an entirely different entrance exclusively for your guests. This includes your very own (at least for the night) private atrium that can serve as a cocktail area for your guests or just lounging around. My biggest bash on the ballroom would have to be the fact that it is on the second floor which is not exactly odd but the restrooms are located on the ground floor. There are escalators and an elevator though that cater to this design flaw. The food is also great and plentiful and the service is nothing less than one would expect from a 5 star hotel. Also the Bellevue has a small and unique swimming pool area, which is great for photo shoots and the like. All in all, the Bellevue is one outstanding venue, that can provide for a very classy and comfortable experience on your wedding day.
