All reviews are based on my opinion.
If you want to book Farm Hills Garden as your wedding venue, you must know some things first
They will not prioritize you until your event is 1 month before. - You guys will experience inquiring something and they will reply more than 3 to 7 days. The disadvantage of their package is because they offer many, but only one people will be in charge to you.
You must have a good coordinator such as Momentum Wedding Coordinator, their team is a really great team to work with Farm Hills Garden.
They do not have actual food tasting, the food they serve is the food at their restaurant, but, menu is different from the food selection after you booked their package. In the food selection, you can't taste everything, because they will only serve you the food of whoever has the wedding that day. They will give you total of 4 coupon, since you guys are a couple, you can only go back twice to try the food. (Haven't ask if we can actually pay for another coupon, but this mean you will need to attend more and is even more hassle). The most disappointing fact is the one they served "cucumber juice" before we booked their venue is different from what served in the reception, which is what left that we couple can proudly serve to guests, the one served to us has cucumber pulps, but the one served at the event is a plain one.
Always put things into writing, there are things that Farm Hills Garden will forget. Do a follow up a few days after your final detailing and get their copy to see if everything is good.
4PM is the best time to do Garden Wedding in the afternoon, unless you get a tent like us who started at 2:30PM
Farm Hills Garden Catering has a pasta bar and unli coffee, do not forget to tell your guests to get some.
My Suppliers are Arvin Simbulan Photography - Photo Indemand Wedding Films - Video Momentum Wedding Coordinator - Coord Makeup by Mhec Gado - HMUA Acsions Wedding Band - Band Suzette Ramos - Entourage Flowers Tent Master Enterprise - Garden Tent Farm Hills Garden - Venue, Catering, Styling, Ceremony Setup, Upgraded Lights and Sound, LED Wall, Host (Randy Balaguer), etc. Istorya Creations - Gift for Parents Ronnie Nosura - Wedding Gown and Female Entourage Growns.
Overall
The wedding is a success, the setup is beautiful. Everything is clean and organize (with the help of coordinator)
We have been observing Farm Hills Garden as our wedding day come, the thing you can guarantee is that they will provide the things they have offered.
I want to give them a 5 star review, but there are still things need for...
Read moreTHE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!
We booked Farmhills months before, for a wedding preparation venue. We are in touched with Ms. Annie, their Manager if I’m not mistaken. Everything was well planned, from the time of check in, from the rooms we are going to use, from the food that we need for the suppliers. Everything was smoothly set.
April 27, 2025 we checked in. Ms. Annie was not there. Her relative passed away. From the beginning we knew it will be a problem. SHE DIDN’T ENDORSE ANYTHING TO HER TEAM!!! Everybody was clueless about everything!
(MS. ANNIE) She didn’t endorse anything to her team. One key card per room. WHICH IS TOTALLY NOT ACCEPTABLE TO A HOTEL FACILITY. Imagined, 8 people staying in family room and they are using ONE key card only. We were advise that breakfast will start at 6am. We went there around past 6 in the morning since we have a wedding preparation, and guess what! THE RESTO WAS STILL CLOSE! And they said they will open by 8am! (Kaisa isang hotel na nag ooffer ng breakfast ng 8am!) I was in room 308, the ac was ON since april 27 morning. And IT’S NOT GETTING COLD. I called maintenance and he tried to fix it. Around past 10 in the evening I called again, because I cannot stand it anymore! The maintenance offer me a room transfer, when we check the room he turned on the ac, and violaaaa! THE AC WAS NOT GETTING COLD ALSO!!! He offered me a FAN instead in our room!!! Ms. Annie said that we can extend our stay up to 1PM of April 28. One of the OJT, called 2 of the rooms and asking our families to get their things ready for check out at around 12 noon! Our grandma who is 88 years old was stressed!
At this time, I REALLY EXPLODED!!! I went directly to the reception area. And this one really shocked me! IBA NA NAMAN ANG MGA TAO SA RECEPTION AREA!!!
FARMHILLS, please!!! TRAIN YOUR PEOPLE!!! INVEST TO YOUR PEOPLE!!! Wag puro OJT and patauhin nyo sa reception area kasi WALA SILANG ALAM!!! YOU DON’T HAVE PROPER ENDORSEMENT SA LAHAT NG BAGAY KAYA NAGKANDA LECHE LECHE YUNG STAY NAMEN!!!
LAHAT NA LANG NG PINAG USAPAN NAMEN NI MS. ANNIE HINDI NILA ALAM. KASI NGA WALANG ENDORSEMENT NA GINAWA!!! And in the end of the day ano lang ang sasabihin nyo sa amin, “SORRY!” Ang mahal mahal ng rooms nyo! Pero yung ac nyo hindi lumalamig!!! Lilipat nyo kame sa ibang room tapos pag lipat namen HINDI DIN LUMALAMIG YUNG AC! and ending offer nyo FAN?!!!
Shame on you!!! WE WORKED HARD FOR US TO HAVE A SMOOTH WEDDING!!! Pero dahil sa inyo na stress and lahat!!! NEVER...
Read moreHidden gem. Feels at home with a mix of elegance and natural feel to things with the wood. If you like English-style ambiance straight from a novel, the pine trees and coffee shop will set your mood. Weddings can be held and hosted here. We saw someone's wedding gown being brought in and doing photoshoots.
The place has an entertainment area with billiards, but the lights were out in the morning and no one's playing.
Though the old notice at the swimming pool says otherwise, they tell you that the pool is only open until 8pm - it matches their restaurant's closing time. If you have them activate the fountains at the kiddie pool, that is the best! It's really nice to look at when you're at the center of the moving water. You call also request for a pool towel, quite convenient.
Restaurant is spacious and the staff truly wait on you, very attentive. I asked for water several times and they really watch the people eating nearby so you can look at them from that distance and see that they're ready to attend to requests. I like this because it feels rare for restaurants these days after the pandemic to find staff ready to serve attentively. Kudos for the great service.
Tried the food, they're good.
Lumpiang Ubod, mild sauce came with the lumpia containing carrots, radish, and peanuts, good for 4 people if sliced in half each, filling enough for an appetizer.
Sisig, hint of the bell pepper kicks in, good for sharing for 2. Oiliness is tolerable.
Fried bangus has a mild taste. The sweet vinegar that came with it is the best.
Bulalo. Enough for sharing for 10 people. You can ask for extra soup refill when you run out of it.
Birthdays - They play a song with a speaker sing aloud, and give a cute small size of cake with art, complementary to the place. You can also order a full-sized cheesecake if you want.
Rooms are spacious and the family room came with a mini chandelier and queen-sized beds. Air-conditioning is also good. Wifi is fast enough to play a mobile game, and it's available wherever I walked, even beyond the rooms.
Towel, small towel, toothbrush, vanity kit, and shampoo, shower gel, and body lotion were provided for.
The smart TVs are modern and you can put your own Netflix in it if you wish.
It's a place designed for the middle class in mind since it's usually only accessible by private vehicle and not by...
