- For any event, the standard stay has a check-in time of 4:30 a.m. while the checkout time is 10:30 p.m. (11:30 p.m. for catering services so that there is an allowance for them to pack up the decorations). This means that as early as 4:30 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 program may check in early as well. The program proper may start at any time but must end on or before 10:30 p.m. In total, the client may prepare and party for up to 18 hours.
- An additional fee is required for an overnight stay. The client has the choice to either check in at 4:30 p.m. a day before the event —to get a good night sleep, or to checkout at 10:30 a.m. the day after the event—to be able to party all night long. Some clients avail both, especially when their relatives are coming from different places.
What if the number of guests exceed 100?
The function hall can only accommodate up to 100 persons. If the number of guests are more than 100, 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.

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 bottles or cans, all kinds of paper, all kinds of plastic.
- 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 satisfy your guests’ experience.
- 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.
