with Cheska our AE in Hizon's
Back then, when we were trying to choose our caterer, we had Hizon’s in our top three list. We chose them because they offered a lot of freebies in our package with Light of Love.
Scheduling for our food tasting and reception detail talk was kinda difficult due to the factors of us being busy at work and also us having a difficult time to communicate with our supplier. Good thing we were able to finalize our schedule 2 weeks ago and were able to do it last Saturday.
Going to Hizon’s office was not easy. We were not familiar with the place and we had some wrong turns before finding the right one. Arriving at their subdivision, we were already able to find directions leading us to their office.
We arrived at 9:30 am and was greeted by their receptionist. We waited for a few minutes before our event planner came. Chesca started it off right. She reviewed the contract, asked the details of our preference - from the motif, to type of the fabric, to the number of guests, flowers to be used, cake and the list goes on. Shortly thereafter, our chosen menus arrived. It was commendable that she did not focus on the chosen menus alone but have introduced their best sellers and top picks as well. Unfortunately the appetizer did not form part of the food tasting.
Ranging from 1 to 5, we are giving them 4.5 for the taste of the food. The beef was right to the bite, the fish was crispy and its sauce simply says yummy! Though the porky was the same old porky, it was good and the flavor was extraordinary! On the other hand, there were also variations which we find ordinary, though we believe that this is true for all caterers out there.
Sharing our menu list, let’s feast! =)

Just a bit of caution: they are a bit lax in monitoring client schedules, so we advise you to take charge of your own planning timeline. Overall, we are completely satisfied and we can’t wait to finalize our reception detailing.
Happy Preps!
