When a sudden power failure might last the entire day and the event venue's genset cannot handle the power requirements of a full-on public sector MICE event, we make do and cooperate with management.

We maintain the essentials - limited in-house lights, the PA system and the LED wall for the presentations.

All aesthetics must go, powering-off the lighting effects and moving heads.

The ventilation also suffers, thus the stand fans. All doors and entrances are open-sesame!

And we discard the blazers and coats that go with the business attire.

At Better Days EventWorks, we are ready for any eventuality, not perfect but enough to carry on. The show must continue, no matter what.

As wedding planners, we are often seen as the Jack-of-all-trades in the events industry. We take on many roles, including auditor, stylist, tactician, trouble-shooter, and psychologist.

We frequently find ourselves navigating sticky situations, especially when it comes to family dynamics. Our best advice is to always follow your heart. You know yourself and your family best, so choose what feels most comfortable for you. Make decisions that you find honorable and respectful.

At Better Days EventWorks, we can be your shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold, an arm to lean on, or a support system to shield you. We are here to be your best advisor and friend. We will show up, and we will be with you every step of the way, all throughout your most important day.

Normally, we would be furious when our event host-emcee goes off-script and deviates from the program. You see, all suppliers should be in synch on the day of the event. For us that means following the program.

However, when the emcee-host unexpectedly called us to the front, the initial apprehension turned to a lovely moment! Our client had thoughtfully arranged this surprise, demonstrating their appreciation.

In front of their guests, they presented us with a genuine thank-you gift, which we value deeply. We have been a part of their milestones, from their wedding to the baptism parties and 1st birthday celebrations of their two sons.

At Better Days Eventworks, we hope to nurture relationships that extend beyond mere business transactions, fostering a more personal connection. We want to create meaningful relationships that last. We look forward to celebrating many more special moments together in the future.

These pearl-headed pins are always in our kit. Many florists and stylists attach technicolored ones to the boutonnieres, but we find them a bit too flashy, cheap and tacky.

We don't like that. We replace them to complete that simple and elegant look on the lapel of our grooms and the men in the wedding party, fathers, male principal and secondary sponsors, best man and groomsmen.

At Better Days EventWorks, we take even these small, seemingly insignificant items to the last detail. To us, they matter.

CHOOSING BETTER DAYS EVENTWORKS

Gone are the days when events were a family thing with relatives helping out in the preparations and ex*****on. Events and celebrations now are complicated and so detailed that clients get overwhelmed with all the things they need to accomplish under time pressure. Clients do not know what to do and where to start. They have no time as they are also working or studying full time. They need a professional who will devote passion, time and effort to make sure the success of your event.

While all other suppliers each have their own work and responsibilities, Better Days EventWorks (BDE) focuses on the client and their event in its entirety. The success of an event is not based on the décor, on SDEs, on choreographed dances. It ultimately rests on the organization, efficiency and ex*****on of your day’s activities. We make the day of our client and the other suppliers hassle-free, smooth and convenient.

The client decides on how deeply BDE will be involved in your event before hiring us. Of all the suppliers, it is us who will be with you on the day of your event, checking on the suppliers, timing the schedule throughout the day, running your program, and managing your banquet.

For us, every event has different needs. We do not believe in one-stop servicing of events. We do personalized and customized work that will fit your style and personality, your budget and the theme you have chosen for your event. We work independently. We do not package and we do not get packaged.

At Better Days EventWorks, we are all about details, transparency, credibility and professionalism, first and foremost. Second, we work on the basis of trust and honesty. We do not sugar-coat and make empty promises. Third and last, we do actual mental and physical work, not just talk and saliva investment.

So dear prospective client, good luck with your decision and we wish you clarity and that Eureka moment. Here’s to hoping you will turn to BDE in helping you achieve your dream event.

APPRECIATING THE SERVICE STAFF

This is a list of the venue and catering staff who served in our event. Included in this list are the venue maintenance and catering staff. Not in the list is the F&B Head and Banquet Manager.

We always ask for the list to assess the gratuity fees that will be given. We prepare ahead by bringing to the event p100 and p500 bills set aside for tips. It has never been our practice to give a whole amount and leave it to the banquet in-charge. We insist that they receive their tips directly from us in person, one by one, courtesy of our clients. If the person in the list has left, we leave their tip to the head waiter.

Part of our trust, as an event planner, is to advice our clients on the proper and correct way of managing aspects of their event.

We show our appreciation of all the effort poured in by the attendants and wait staff for each of our banquet. That has been our standard ever since. We owe them partly the success of every reception. Afterall, a big chunk of the event goes to food and beverage and making sure that guests are comfortable, well-fed and satisfied. That's hospitality for you.

At Better Days EventWorks, we translate our core values of honesty, respect and trust in every event that we do. No more, no less.

TIMING YOUR EVENT

If you think about it, event planning is all about lists, timelines, follow-ups and fine-tuning. The success of an event is heavily dependent on timing and the cooperation of all the participants, including the client.

When one link is broken, the other activities are affected. Even the assumption of a heavy traffic is considered.

At Better Days EventWorks, we make sure to come up with schedules such as this. A very basic one, customized to the respective event, just to guide everyone.

When the day arrives, we pray that everything will go as planned and everyone will be on board. We trust our process. Everything has worked out well, so far.

Alignment Meeting and Final Detailing here at Astoria Regency's PARKVIEW CAFE Lower Complex, Pasonanca.

Lower Complex? Yes, we have coined this addition to the venue's address. It is included in three (3) invitations for our upcoming events.

Astoria Regency is a complex of event venues with the addition of The Gardens, The Glass House, Lower Deck and Deck 2 at the lower complex.

The upper complex is the original property where you can find the Convention Center (Halls 1 and 2), Gazebo, Pavilion, Poolside and a host of other intimate outdoor venues.

At Better Days EventWorks, we do come up with creative and effective solutions to navigate through this maze we call event planning.
