GALLIO EVENTS HALL, operated by D.M. Wenceslao & Associates, Inc., said it will keep its rates unchanged until the end of 2026 despite inflation and rising fuel costs.
“Steady rates until the end of 2026, then the next raise will be in 2027,” Gallio Events Hall Senior Operations Manager Sheila Bernardo told reporters last week.
“We don’t charge additional for this and that just because there’s inflation. Whatever prices we have throughout the year are applicable for the entire year, regardless if there’s war in Iran or America or other factors,” she added.
The company said price adjustments are typically implemented every two years.
Gallio Events Hall said it is also in talks about a possible expansion after reporting strong business growth over the past two and a half years.
“[The performance] has been great. We grew exponentially over the years. If you would consider, it’s just past 2.5 years but we are able to host other types of events, not just the typical weddings to a typical corporate event,” Ms. Bernardo said.
“Yes, there are [expansion plans], but we might take it slow. But we are in talks with the owners, and they are very happy with the performance we’ve made over the past two and a half years,” she added.
Gallio Events Hall is an event venue that incorporates Filipino architectural and design elements.
Located in Aseana City, the venue offers space for corporate events, exhibitions, and social gatherings.
The venue held its launch event last Friday, featuring a modern-contemporary Filipino-themed program.
The company said demand for modern and flexible venues is rising, as the Philippines’ MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) sector is projected to grow by about 8.5% annually through 2028.
It said Gallio Events Hall aims to cater to this demand. — Alexandria Grace C. Magno
