I booked Verleo without trying their food. I read a lot of blogs that had good reviews of them, saying that the food was delicious and it was more than enough of what was reserved for. Since the party was merienda time, our menu was: assorted sandwiches, baked spaghetti, chicken teriyaki, spare ribs, rice and mango crepe for dessert. The kids had spaghetti, hotdogs w marshmallow, chicken Lillie's and brownies. The service was also great, they managed and chopped the Lechon that we brought in at no extra cost. Pwede also had a lot of left overs even if we had guests 30pax over what I confirmed for. The package also had unlimited drinks which was hugely appreciated.
Communication and preparation was just done via email.
The account manager, Ckryz as reliable and easily answered my email queries which was a big plus for working moms like me.
Party Package: JD's Party Shop ****
Inclusive of balloons, Mickey Mouse back drop, two hosts that did games, balloon show, magic show and bubble show; face painting for 100 heads (not a lot did it, sayang), inflatable bouncer, food cart for hotdog on stick, food cart for pop corn and photo booth for two hours.
All of the services mentioned above was for a very decent amount.
Sulit talaga!!! I came across them when I was researching in the Internet.
I also communicated with Jesslyn via email and we met once a month before the party.
She was very easy to deal with.
I just wished the photo booth had better colors when it printed the shots.
I also hoped that the magic show did not include a stint wherein the clown placed a toy sword in his mouth. It freaked me out and for a moment there, saw fear in the kids' eyes. I should have reviewed the magic stints beforehand. It's a good laugh now, when my family and I talk about it, napaka 80s ng stint na yun!

Dr. Erik Santos of Caslow did a good job of documenting the party ;)
He arrived few minutes before the agreed upon time and we were able to squeeze some family photos before the guests arrived.
The CD also arrived quickly a week after and communicating with him through email was efficient.
