Terms of Payment

Frangeli House requires a down payment of 50% plus the security deposit of P20,000.00.  Full payment must be settled at least a month before the event day. If paying with a check, full payment must be done 10 days before the event.

Payments made after the deadline will mean an additional 1% to the amount due on that date. There will be an additional 1% for every week lapsed.

Frangeli House reserves the right to cancel the holding of the event in its premises in case of failure to pay the full amount beforehand.

Number of Guests
The guest count for each type of event includes the celebrant/s but not including the suppliers. A Frangeli House representative will count the number of guests on the day of the event.

If on the day there are more than the expected number of guests, the extra person charge will apply.   If the number of extra guests was unexpected, the balance should be paid after the event or could be deducted from the security deposit. 150 is the maximum capacity of the venue for November-May and 80 from June-October. There are associated fees for going over the maximum limit of guests.

Ingress and Egress

Frangeli House is open for the event 1.5-2 hours before and 1.5-2 hours after the scheduled time.  You may add extra setup time for P2,000/hour. If it is before 6am, it will be P2,500/hour for after hours.

Catering needs and other equipment may be brought in a day before the event for storage from 4:00pm-6:00pm if the event will be held early in the morning. Physical arrangement is to be done on the day of the event.  If physical arrangement is to be done a day before or extra time is needed for setup, there will be a P2,000.00/ hour charge.

Parking
Due to the limited space, Frangeli House can only accommodate up to 22 cars.  We suggest carpooling for the guests, provide a shuttle service, or take public transit if more parking spaces are needed. There should also be at least 1 person in charge for parking from the client/s or the coordinator to make sure all cars coming in are guests and to make sure parking designations are followed.

Post Activity Cleanup

Suppliers such as caterers, sound system providers, and event organizers will take their trash such as bottles, cans, plastic containers, and food scraps upon egress from Frangeli House.
Clean up and disassembly time is hours after the event.  If additional time is needed to disassemble structures e.g. stage, pavilion, tent, etc., there will be a P2,000 per hour charge to be deducted from the security deposit.  If past 12:00am., disassembly will be done the day after from 7am-10am only.  This is to ensure the smooth transition between two consecutive events.

Uncollected equipment/materials shall be donated/disposed of after 2 days. A storage fee of P1,000.00 a day shall be charged for uncollected materials, equipment, or garbage. All charges shall be deducted from the security deposit.

Cancellation

Reservations could be canceled at least 2 months before the event, after which the customer’s payment will be fully refunded. A P2,000-P5,000 cancelation charge will be deducted dependent on the type of milestone event option you get.  Canceling the reservation 2 months or less before the event will render the customer’s payment non-refundable. The security deposit will be returned.

If reservations are made 2 months or less before the event date, Frangeli House requires full payment of the event, inclusive of the security deposit. Cancellation of the reservation will render the payment non-refundable.

Rescheduling

Changing the schedule of the event more than 2 months before the reserved date is free.

Changing the schedule of the event 2 to 1 month before the reserved date will mean a 25% charge of the total amount booked.
Changing the schedule of the event less than 1 month to 2 weeks before the reserved date will mean a 35% of the total amount booked.

Changing the schedule of the event less than 2 weeks before the reserved date will mean a 50% charge of the total amount booked.

A booking is considered as rescheduled if there is a definite date the event would be moved to that is not more than 3 months from the original booking.  Failure to book a specific date after this will render the customer’s payment non-refundable.

If rescheduling is due to “acts of god” such as typhoons, earthquakes, or personal emergencies, then we will allow for free rescheduling but only within 1 month of the original booking date.  This is dependent on the availability of the place.  Proof for personal emergencies is required.

No Show

Clients who fail to show up on the reserved date will not receive a refund.

Suppliers
We have a list of recommended suppliers that is regularly updated.  Suppliers not from our recommended list are allowed but each outside supplier will entail a respective fee depending on the type of service provided.  It is your responsibility for all suppliers to receive and read the supplier guidelines to prevent any charges due to violations. We highly recommend outside suppliers to do an ocular and meet with us beforehand.  Fees are listed in our recommended supplier list. This will be strictly implemented with DIY or unrecommended suppliers.
