The lifestyle hub
Joy is very infectious; therefore, be always full of joy.” — Mother Teresa
Manila’s high society and the metro’s most discriminating party-goers are rapidly discovering A. Venue Entertainment Hall, located within the confines of Antel Lifestyle City along Makati Avenue, as the newest and coolest destination of choice for high profile events. Through the genius of GM Conrad Castañeda, hardworking project director Nancy Coo and the moving spirit behind it all, Antel Group of Companies president Elena Jao, A. Venue Entertainment Hall has now become a crowd favorite for large scale classical and rock concerts, dance parties, wedding receptions, bazaar and trade shows.
This year alone, the most important parties and events of the year were held there: Marlboro’s M Party, Pulp Magazine’s Band Thursday, Maxim’s Hot 100, Cosmopolitan’s Bachelor Bash and RJ Rock event. Also held there was the grand wedding reception of newly-wed couple Luis Campos and Rep. Abby Binay-Campos who both are also co-owners of Botong’s Up. The recent successful gala Holiday Collection fashion show by maverick fashion designer Oliver Tolentino and top hair and makeup artist and Angelista Salon creative director Akira also took place at A. Venue. With the guidance of the sought after tandem of fashion director Raymund Villanueva and style wizard Angelo Villanueva, the group wowed audiences with an innovative fashion extravaganza which featured the holiday and evening ensemble for women. I hope to bump into you one of these days at the A. Venue Entertainment Hall!
An intimate dinner in Madrid
