*******************

Beautiful English gardens are an absolute favorite tourist attraction in Europe. There’s something so wildly romantic yet stately about an English garden that reminds one of Kings and castles. It was a wonderful surprise then to find an English garden right in the heart of Metro Manila.Blue Gardens is located in Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City, just a few minutes away from St. Peter’s Cathedral. And because of its very convenient location, you no longer have to worry about incurring the extra cost that comes with holding a garden wedding or an out of town event.

Blue Gardens captures the Old World charm and natural beauty of an English garden. The stone wall entrance gate has magnificent ornate carvings, a fish fountain, and pillars reminiscent of 17th Century Chateau de Brecy’s monumental gate in Normandy—a fitting dramatic first impression of the garden.

Upon entering the garden’s grounds, one is transported to another world. The landscape is filled with blooming flowers of every color and shape.A cobblestone path, which is framed by a lush arbor filled with violet flowering vines, leads to a majestic white gazebo inspired by Castle Versailles of France.

A bubbling fountain soothes the soul while the formal garden is softened by elements like charming bird houses, stained glass bottles and white lattices covered with vines.

The garden is also a sanctuary to many wild migratory birds and butterflies. The butterflies and birds constantly feed on the nectar and seeds of the flowers.

Adjacent to the garden is a European-inspired Chateau. Its lobby opens to a grand gold-gilded mirror and chandelier.

But it’s the main hall that really impresses.It has all-white pristine interiors, Greek pillars wrapped with flowering silk vines, big French windows, a chandelier, and a stage with a panoramic view of the lush garden.The Chateau also has a multipurpose lobby. A smaller hall is also available for more intimate affairs of 100 guests or less.

Are butterflies fluttering about in the bride’s stomach? She can soothe her frazzled nerves, together with her Maids-In-Waiting, in an air-conditioned bridal room with a bed, sofa, vanity table and private shower and toilet.

We also have our cozy zen-inspired Groom's Room.

And as a token of an incredible event, Blue Gardens also offers an assortment of beautiful plants and flowers as wedding or event giveaways in keeping with the garden theme. Prices of plants are from P35 up. Guests will surely be thrilled to receive a flourishing plant that they can use to beautify their homes.

It is our goal and commitment to provide our guests with a beautiful and elegant venue at a very economical cost. We make sure that your day will be remembered for its fine memories, not the staggering expense that went along with it.

With our very affordable but classy Worry-Free Packages, you need not drain your hard-earned finances.

We encourage you to visit us soon so that you may personally enjoy the beauty of the venue and have your free food tasting during one of our actual events.

Feel free to call us during our office hours (10 AM to 5 PM, Tuesdays to Saturdays and 11AM to 5PM on Sundays) at (632) 4305982 or (632) 9311628 so we may answer your questions and for you to schedule your free food tasting with any of our accredited caterers.

We hope Blue Gardens can be a part in creating your special memories. See you soon!
