Ibarra's Garden's choco fountain from somewhere

Ibarra's Garden is a decent enough place with great ambiance and provides very delicious food -- no question about that. We had our food tasting before and, with a few exceptions, the food was excellent.

Their packages are very, very competitive which is the main reason we chose it in the first place.

The bad, somewhat frustrating part, about them is when it comes to CHANGES in the packages. You don't actually want all of the things included in the package.

Here's an example: they are offering the chocolate fountain for the event at the cost of php5,000. We -- since we are trying to minimize our expenses as much as we can for the wedding -- asked if they could lower the price. Surprisingly, they did - they now offered it at php2,000. We were so happy at the bargain we made!

Here's the downside: when we visited again, the head was not there so the "second-in-command" / assistant / whatever you want to call her attended to us. During our conversation, she revealed that they were actually offering two chocolate fountains -- the belgian chocolate fountain at php5,000 and the local chocolate fountain at php2,000! Damn! So much for the bargain!

Personally, it is okay if it was the local chocolate fountain -- it's just disappointing because I didn't know that it was not the Belgian chocolate we were availing, since that is what they have been advertising since their last wedding expo back in the Megatrade Hall earlier this year (I think it was back in June).

Oh well, lesson learned...
