Wedding Reception Oasis: Electricity Charge

Okay, so here's the deal with the electricity charge at Oasis Manila. Here's the shitty thing having your reception at Oasis Manila. We have to pay 500 for photo booth outlet. They will charge 1.5K for every 10 amperes of electricity you will be using. So for us, I think we will be paying more than 10K for the electricity. WTF! Even if we change our lightnings to LED we will be paying alot. The calculation for ampere rating is like this: using the ohms law for single phase the calculation for the electricity P(Wattage) = V (Voltage) x A (Ampere). In order to get the ampere rating A (ampere) = P(wattage of the equipment)/V(220V). For every 100W there is 0.4545 Watts.   Oasis Manila calculation for ampere is 100W = 0.5A.

For example, if you are going to have a haze machine in the venue; the wattage of haze machine could be 1500W. So =(1500W/100)*.5  You will get, 7.5A for that. So it means if you are going to have one haze machine and one bubble machine probably OASIS MANILA will charge you 1.5K pesos for the two equipment (it actually depends on the wattage of the equipment).

Since we have 24 units of Par 64 LED; Approximately the wattage of normal 3W LED Parabolic 64 Uplight is 110W. So it means for 24 units, the ampere rating will be 13.2A. So we will be paying another 3K for that.

I guess, we will just rent a generator. The Oasis Manila (they) charge way too much for the electricity.

Our Dilemma : AE of Oasis Manila

So we already booked Oasis Verandah as our venue for the wedding reception. The person assigned to us was Cathy Marquez.

So here are the problems we encountered with her (Cathy Marquez):

1. She was not a pleasant talker.  It was so hard to talk to her. I don't know why. Usually AE's should be lively and pleasant right? But with her, I thought she had a problem with me or something.

2. She told us that she will inform us for food tastings but she never did. When we visited oasis again that was the only time she said that there will be food tasting the next day.

3. She told us that she will be texting us about the church number but she never did.

4. I emailed her like twice for clarifications but she never responded.

5. She was a bit arrogant for an AE (I guess). We texted her so many times and even tried to call her if OASIS is open on Feb 1, 2014 (since we thought that they might be closed since Jan 31 was holiday) but she did not reply. So we just decided to go to OASIS on Feb 1, and we thought she was not there; but she was there! We told her that we have been texting and calling her. And she just said "I'm so busy".  That was it.

I thought it was only us who had a problem with her. But I found out that it was not only us.
