Lakehall at Nena’s Sanctuary recently transformed its lush Sta. Rosa grounds into an enchanting oasis for a Supplier Appreciation Night, toast-ready for its third anniversary. Since its 2023 debut, this stunning escape in Laguna has stolen the hearts of brides, tastemakers, and corporate visionaries alike. The evening was a beautiful nod to the creative community — from visionary florists to master planners — whose collaborative touch has turned hundreds of ordinary milestones into extraordinary, lifelong memories under the stars.

The heart of the venue lies in its seamless blend of sleek modern architecture and raw natural beauty. Donnie Tantoco, chairman of Lakehall, beautifully captured this spirit: “It all began when I wanted to create an alternative destination for families to celebrate the moments of their lives that they most cherish. We wanted to create contemporary spaces nestled in nature, where discovery, serendipity, and the experiences that can only happen when you escape to nature become part of every celebration.”
