After months of global lockdowns and having to endure quarantined spaces in cities, people have regained a newfound appreciation for nature and low-key get-togethers. Understandably, most people now prefer to streamline their celebrations for safety reasons, albeit in a tasteful fashion.
Fortunately, the recently launched Mapun
Queni Bale offers both nature and celebration in abundance, with its private event space and lush garden setting. Conveniently located at Cabalantian in Bacolor, Pampanga, the private venue offers a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis, as well as provides a relaxing ambience for intimate celebrations.
Events and Concepts by Voltaire Zalamea teamed up with Allen Uy and JP De Jesus of Blooms Event Styling, as well as a team of suppliers, to create two elegant and intimate setups amidst Mapun Queni Bale’s verdant landscape.
Situated in the porch area of Mapun Queni Bale, the first setup features a minimalist design with rustic elements. Predominantly done in soft and muted colors, the daytime setup highlights the venue’s charming garden backdrop.
