Debut and 18th birthday catering in Metro Manila
A Debut can be formal and traditional, simple and family-focused, or more like an 18th birthday party with dinner, music and friends. Jojie's can plan the catering around the kind of celebration you want, your guest count, venue and program.
Full-service Debut catering starts from 50 guests. Choose from our catering menu collections, then confirm the service, setup, staffing and any rentals you need in your quotation.
Choose the feel first
The food and service should suit the celebration the family actually wants.
A shorter program, good food and enough time for photos and conversation can make the evening feel special without filling every hour with formal segments.
Full-service Debut catering starts from 50 guests. For a smaller celebration where the family can manage serving and cleanup, Party Trays may be the more practical option.
Browse Party Trays & PricesIf the family is planning a formal entrance, selected 18s, an AVP, cake and other program segments, the catering schedule can be planned around the important parts of the evening.
Share the program timing when you request a quotation so the buffet opening, service and clearing can be coordinated with the event schedule.
See a Sample Debut Program FlowSome celebrations put less emphasis on the traditional 18s and more on dinner, music, games, photos and time with friends.
A buffet or cocktail-style setup can work well when guests will be moving around and the program is lighter.

Coordinated on-site support
For families who want Jojie's to coordinate the food presentation, buffet equipment, service staff, setup and clearing that are included in the agreed event plan.
Mingling and movement
Warm and cold hors d'oeuvres can suit a reception where guests will mingle, move around the room or spend less time seated for a full dinner.
Separate self-managed option
Party Trays are a separate, self-managed option for families who already have a serving table and can handle plates, utensils, portions and cleanup.
The written quotation defines the scope
A Debut quotation can be built around the parts of the catering setup your event actually needs.
Depending on the agreed plan, it may include:
Your quotation lists the final inclusions, quantities, staffing, equipment, transport, charges and payment instructions for the event.
Jojie's caters Debuts at a venue selected by the family. The venue itself is not included in the catering service.
If the celebration also needs a host or emcee, sound and lighting, a stage or backdrop, full event coordination, a Debutant couch or specialist décor, plan those as separate services unless your written quotation specifically confirms otherwise.
This makes it easier to compare a Jojie's catering quotation with a restaurant, hotel or broader all-in event package without assuming that every supplier includes the same things.

Venue access checklist
The venue affects more than the address. Supplier entry, loading, elevators and setup time can change how the catering plan needs to work.
Useful details include:
complete venue and room address;
supplier entrance or security instructions;
loading or parking arrangements;
stairs or service-elevator access;
the time suppliers may enter and begin setup;
the serving time and major program timings;
the event end time and collection or pull-out requirements.
Jojie's can coordinate the catering setup around those venue requirements. The family remains responsible for the venue booking itself.
Meal service around the program
If the celebration includes 18 Roses, 18 Candles, 18 Treasures, a cotillion, AVP, cake, speeches or performances, share the key timings with the catering team.
Illustrative planning logic
The service plan can be coordinated around the confirmed program so the buffet opening, guest movement and clearing make sense for the evening.
This covers catering and meal-service timing. Full event coordination is not included as part of this catering service.
For a detailed sample run sheet and different program lengths, see the Debut Program Flow guide.
Plan the Program FlowOptional event support
Some venues already provide complete dining furniture and service equipment. Others provide the room and little else.
Jojie's also offers tables, chairs and catering equipment that can be added to the event quotation when needed.
Gold Tiffany chairs can suit a formal Debut, especially when the venue and table plan call for a more finished reception setup.

Quotation factors
Jojie's does not publish one fixed Debut package price. The quotation depends on the actual event.
The number of guests, cuisine, dishes and meal requirements shape the food quantities and preparation.
A staffed buffet or cocktail reception needs a different level of on-site support from a self-managed food order.
Security, loading, elevators, setup windows, serving time and collection requirements can affect the plan.
Buffet equipment, dining items, tables, chairs and transport are included only where they are part of the agreed quotation.
Pricing rule: No public fixed Debut price. Review the complete quotation before booking.
Start with what you know
You do not need every detail final before you inquire. A realistic working estimate is enough for the first conversation.
Please send what you already know:
preferred event date;
venue or area;
estimated number of guests;
serving time and important program timings;
menu direction or dishes you are considering;
preferred service format;
tables, chairs or equipment you may need;
working budget, if you already have one.
If some details are still undecided, say so. The quotation can be prepared around the confirmed information and the choices that still need to be discussed.
Four clear steps
Tell us the date, venue, guest estimate, schedule and the kind of catering you are considering.
We can prepare the quotation around the current menu collections, service format, staffing and rentals that fit the event.
Check the menu, inclusions, delivery and setup details, charges, payment instructions and event schedule before confirming.
The booking is confirmed after the reservation steps in the quotation are completed. The confirmed headcount and venue details can then be coordinated for the event.
