Why PicShots fits
A safer local guide, without pretending to be venue-affiliated
Free for events up to 10 guests
PicShots is free for events with up to 10 guests — the exact size of most intimate restaurant receptions. Paid tiers cover larger private dining bookings.
Quiet, low-key guest flow
Restaurant receptions have a quieter atmosphere than ballroom weddings. The browser-based camera flow stays unobtrusive while still collecting every important moment.
Per-guest limits keep it curated
When the gallery is small, shot limits matter even more. PicShots keeps the gallery intentional rather than dumping every reflexive phone shot in.
Setup tips
QR setup for Makati events
1 Print the QR at every place setting
With a small table, the QR works best when every guest sees it as they sit down. Add it as a small card next to the menu.
2 Mention it at the welcome
Intimate dinners always start with a welcome by the host. Slipping in a one-line mention of the QR is the single highest-yield prompt.
3 Use a tighter per-guest shot limit
Intimate dinners do best with a smaller shot allowance — around 10–15 per guest — to keep the final gallery feeling curated.
4 Print the QR on Filipino-style invites
Slip the QR onto your invitation suite and the welcome tarp — Manila guests respond best when the prompt is part of the styling, not a separate flyer.
5 Makati placement tip
Use QR cards at the foyer and table level because Makati events often split arrivals between lobby, cocktail area, and ballroom.

Any local tip for restaurant venues in Manila?
Cover the church-to-reception handoff: Print the same QR for ceremony exit and reception entrance — Manila guests often change venues and miss a single station.

Not when it's part of the styling. A small printed card next to the menu reads as part of the event, not as a request — and the host mention frames it as 'help us remember tonight'.
