Straight from someone who’s been in the trenches of kiddie party planning!

Planning a kiddie party can feel like a full-time sport—juggling themes, coordinating vendors, and keeping those ever-expecting parents happy (and sane!). If there’s one thing I’ve learned from being in the thick of it all, it’s this: the right venue can make or break your event.

I’ve styled, set up, and sometimes sprinted through a ton of these spaces—so consider this your cheat sheet. I’m spilling the tea on which venues are a dream to work with, which ones come with quirks, and all the little insider tips I wish someone had shared with me from day one.

Ready to discover the best spots for stress-free, standout celebrations? Let’s go! 🎉

1. Blue Leaf Cosmopolitan – Classy & Effort-Free

• Price: Around Php265,000 per hall

• Why I love it: Built-in hanging points (no extra trusses needed), LED wall, and a super pretty holding area.

• Heads-up: Starts with 60 amps of power (upgrade to 100 amps for heavy setups, at about Php10k–20k), and there’s an ingress fee of Php40k–60k (sometimes negotiable). Parking can be a bit tight.​

3. East Ocean Palace – A Must for Lauriat Parties

• Why it’s awesome: Multiple ballrooms mean you can choose the perfect space based on your guest count.

4. Le Parc Events Place – Old But Gold

• Perks: A massive 800 sqm space with ceiling décor provisions and a holding area. Bonus: It’s near Sanctuario de San Antonio—great if you’re combining a baptism with a party!
