Arabelle @ The Secret Garden — Attraction in Alfonso

When I saw this place in person for the first time, I fell in love with it immediately. It gives what most modern events place lack nowadays, the “feeling”— when you’re in a place so beautiful it gives you that “feeling”, the energy, it was enchanting. The atmosphere is so idyllic— an indoor garden with vines crawling on the ceiling, the tree by the entrance looked so magical, the chandeliers hanging over the center add a touch of elegance, everything is so ethereal and romantic. I just can’t believe how perfect this place was for our event (which is a Bridgerton-themed celebration). We held a surprise Bridal Shower for my best friend, and all the staff were so accommodating. I brought so many props and they all helped me carry them, even offered to set them (they constantly asked if they can be of any help while I was setting everything in place). I just want to say thank you so much for being so kind and helpful, thank you Maam Dhez and Sir Rone for allowing me to carry out my vision with the place. Best believe it turned out exactly as I imagine it. The Bride-to-be and the other ladies in attendance cannot rave enough how beautiful the place is, especially how it complimented our theme. And the food, I don’t know what magic was it, but is it possible that all of the food from the set meal we preordered for the event tasted exceptionally good? They cannot stop talking about how everything was so delicious. As if it could not get anymore perfect. Overall, it was wonderful experience with Arabelle. I would definitely hold my intimate events with them...

This place is super hidden, but I discovered this via Google Maps back when I was looking for a reception venue for our church wedding. The wedding package was beyond our budget, but I really wanted to try it at least once, so I booked a lunch reservation for me, my husband, and my parents.

Can I just say that this is really a nice experience, value for your money, too, because the servings were huge. Especially the mains. We even had to ask them to pack the extras to go.

All the dishes were winners (the churros were surprisingly not oily at all!), and the ambience was especially romantic. There's light instrumental music, and the surrounding gardens are really nice. The service staff were very attentive and easy to talk to.

I think the only thing they can improve on is the parking. We didn't mind because we were a small group, but for weddings (even if they were intimate), they might need more. I will definitely be back, though (and will remember to bring a smaller car because the roads leading to it are...

My Mom, brothers, and I would like to thank you. We were blown away with the styling of place and the table settings. Especially with the string lights at night! Everyone loved the food and the songs played that night. The sound system and the people behind it were amazing with their comedic and sentimental timings. The staff was so attentive and hospitable. The staff's acting in getting my dad to the garden was perfect!! My dad's siblings told me how relaxing and beautiful the place is. Thank you so much. We couldn't have done it without you. Everything was perfect! Again thank...
