What are the check-in and checkout times?
Casa Gilmore offers two types of staycation: standard and overnight, both are applicable for the function room and bedrooms.
- For any event, the STANDARD stay has a check-in time of 5:00 a.m. while the checkout time is 10:00 p.m. This means that as early as 5:00 a.m., the makeup or photo shoot may begin, the catering crew may start decorating, and all the guests that will take part on the ceremony or program may check in as well. The program proper may start at any time within the allowed hours but must end on or before 10:00 p.m.
- An additional fee of ₱12,500 is required for an OVERNIGHT STAY. The client has the choice to either check in at 5:00 p.m. a day before the event OR to checkout day after the event at 10:00 a.m. These options are recommended for clients that prefer to prepare and rest before the event or would like to stay for the after party especially if they have relatives and friends that are coming from distant places.
How can we reserve a date?
To book a date, follow these three simple steps:
(1) Fill up the provided registration form
(2) Thoroughly read and agree to the provided terms & conditions of use
(3) Pay the reservation fee amounting to ₱7,500
Make sure that our amenities suffice your event needs since the downpayment is NONREFUNDABLE.
What are the payment terms?
- We do not accept credit card or check payments as of this moment. Cash, online transfers, or digital currency are accepted—yes, Bitcoin!
- Note that the remaining balance can be paid by installments too; no fixed amount or number of terms as long as the balance is settled upon checking in.
What if we have more than 100 guests?
The function room can only accommodate up to 100 persons. More than that, say an extra 20 to 30 persons, additional tables and chairs can be placed outdoors near the buffet table. Note that the venue is enclosed with glass doors and windows which means that people from the outside may not hear the program unless external speakers are provided by the client’s supplier. We do not charge any fees for exceeding guests.
Could we extend the rent for another hour?
We are very strict when it comes to check-in and check out times regardless of the number of minutes, hours, guests, or any other activities as we need ample time to thoroughly clean the venue for the next guest. Early check in or late checkout are possible depending on the availability of the venue and would require a fee of ₱1,000 per hour of extension.
Can we bring liquor and smoke?
- Yes, you may bring alcoholic beverages without worrying about corkage fee. Please drink responsibly! Keep in mind that we are allowed to evict guests from the premises who misconducted themselves.
- Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the venue, rooms, or bathrooms. A penalty fee of ₱2,000 will be charged to violators. Kindly smoke or vape on outdoor areas only and dispose your trash appropriately.
Do you allow pets?
For the safety and comfort of everyone including your pet/s, we are deeply sorry that you cannot bring him/her/them inside the venue.
Can we rent a single room for an overnight stay?
Unfortunately, we do not allow this type of rental as the function room and bedrooms are only intended for event or gathering purposes.
Are there any kitchenware available?
Yes, we have basic kitchenware available for small-scale cooking of meals, cooling of beverages, and storage of food for overnight stays. However, large-scale cooking with the goal of serving it during the party proper is not allowed.
Are there any toiletries available?
For each bathroom, we only provide a towel and soap. If you had availed the 20-pax overnight stay, kindly advise your family or friends to bring their own toiletries.
In case of electricity loss, do you have a generator? How about the water supply?
- Yes, we have a portable generator in case of power loss due to natural disasters or from unexpected electrical maintenance. However, the generator can only power lights and fans but not the air-conditioners nor the water heaters,
- The water supply is great; in rare instances such as low water pressure, we have two large tanks to maintain consistent water flow.
What did I miss to ask?
Here are some things that client’s mostly miss to ask but are very important.
- Casa Gilmore promotes saving Mother Earth. We highly minimize the use of nonrecyclable materials. We also ask the help of the guests to segregate their wastes properly before throwing it in the appropriate bins—for us to classify the trash more easily. We segregate according to the following: food leftovers, recyclable materials (bottles, aluminum cans, metal, glass), all kinds of paper, and general waste (one-time use plastics).
- If ever you will book our venue, we highly recommend that you schedule a meeting with your caterer to discuss your preferred theme of the party as well as to do food tasting. You may do it here at Casa Gilmore—free of charge—as long as the venue is available. This recommended simple meeting will be of great help to fully achieve your dream event and to ensure satisfaction of your guests.
- To avoid unnecessary payment for damages (e.g. burnt bed sheets or paint by hair iron, stained bed sheets or curtain from makeup tools, unreturned props from photo shoots, lost valuables due to carelessness of person-in-charge, ), kindly remind your guests and suppliers to care for the venue’s belongings.
- After three months from the date of an event, unclaimed items in the lost and found section will be given away to people in need.
