Request a quote Schedule an Ocular VisitAn ocular visit lets you walk the floor before you commit. It does not reserve the studio or confirm availability for your proposed event date.
Studio W9 is primarily a dry-hire venue and fixed-facility rental. The open floor can be suitable for client-led events where the organizer brings the creative concept, production team, technical systems and suppliers.
Include the merchant and booth count, proposed aisle and queue layout, supplier schedule and equipment list. Declare cooking, heating, refrigeration, supplemental cooling and powered displays for technical review. A quiet-format bazaar can still require electrical, crowd-flow and operating-hour controls.
Describe the audience layout, presentation format, screens, sound, seating and rehearsal needs. Your organizer supplies the event production and technical systems unless expressly included in the quotation. Attendance and the final layout require approval; floor area alone does not establish permitted occupancy.
Share the display or stage footprint, guest journey, build schedule and any special activities. Oversized items, vehicles, temporary structures and amplified sound need specific review. Ingress, event proper and egress must be declared separately.
Review event rental guidance, location and loading conditions and the booking inquiry process. Final feasibility, suppliers and commercial terms remain subject to staff review and an approved quotation.

Studio W9 has approximately 420 sqm of usable matte-black shooting space. The full 24.15 m × 18 m floor footprint is approximately 434.7 sqm, so the 420 sqm planning figure and the full floor footprint describe different measurements.
Clear height is approximately 5.5 m at the lowest internal roof line and increases toward the ridge. The roll-up door clear opening is a separate measurement, approximately 4.5 m pending onsite verification. Fixed facilities include a concrete enclosure with roof insulation, project power allocation by written approval, a lounge / multi-use hall (one continuous ground-floor hall with no internal divider), a brand holding area beneath the mezzanine, a dressing room, three toilets - a small powder room and two adjacent elevated toilets - and a separate wash and sink area, and secure storage that may be configured as a compact edit suite. The venue is not represented as fully soundproof or acoustically certified; amplified events require an onsite sound check and may require an approved noise-control plan.
For event planning, start with venue-only guidance of PHP 10,000 per event-proper hour for September–October 2026 event dates, with a five-hour daily minimum. Standard house air-conditioning is included during event proper. Ingress and egress are PHP 5,000 per hour without air-conditioning or PHP 7,500 per hour with air-conditioning in every month, a choice that applies only to those access windows. Indicatively, a September or October event proper on its own starts from PHP 53,000 VAT-exclusive (the five-hour minimum plus the PHP 3,000 caretaker fee); a five-hour event with three hours of non-air-conditioned access is PHP 68,000 VAT-exclusive (5 × PHP 10,000 + 3 × PHP 5,000 + PHP 3,000 caretaker). All published rates are VAT-exclusive and 12% VAT is added in the approved quotation.
Event-proper rate by event month: September–October 2026 PHP 10,000 per event-proper hour; November 2026 PHP 12,500; 1 December 2026 – 14 January 2027 PHP 15,000. The tier is determined by the event date, never the inquiry date; event months not listed use the standard PHP 10,000 rate until a further published update. The five-hour minimum, the access rates and the caretaker fee do not change by month, so the same five-hour event proper is PHP 65,500 VAT-exclusive in November 2026 and PHP 78,000 VAT-exclusive from 1 December 2026 through 14 January 2027 before access.
Standard vs High-Volume Amplified Sound / Overnight pricing: corporate events, launches, private events, presentations and rehearsals follow the monthly event-proper schedule above. DJ events, rave or club-style formats, amplified live music, high-volume amplified sound, overnight operation and comparable high-impact events are classified by Studio W9 as High-Volume Amplified Sound / Overnight Events — a separate commercial class from PHP 15,000 per event-proper hour with the same five-hour minimum and standard house air-conditioning included. Studio W9 makes the classification — the organizer cannot self-select the standard tier for a format Studio W9 classifies as amplified, high-impact or overnight — and this class is always staff-approved and never auto-quoted: quoting the floor does not imply acceptance. Sound, attendance, operating hours, security, crowd management, permits and alcohol service may affect the approved quotation.
Load-in and load-out are quoted separately from event proper in every month: PHP 5,000 per hour without AC or PHP 7,500 per hour with AC. The caretaker fee, VAT, production, catering, equipment and other supplier services also remain separate unless expressly bundled in the approved quotation.
Submitting an inquiry or payment evidence does not reserve a date or confirm a booking.
Request a quoteStudio W9 supplies the venue and the fixed facilities confirmed in the approved quotation. The client or organizer normally supplies the event producer, creative team, staging, furniture, audio, lighting, LED systems, temporary electrical distribution, generator when required, security, crowd management, medical support, catering, permits and other event suppliers.
Unless expressly included, client-arranged production and contingency power, including rental, fuel, operators, delivery, distribution, and related support, is separate from venue hire. Pending technical power lines are treated as Pending technical quotation — excluded from this estimate until scope is approved.
The venue caretaker supports facility access and condition monitoring. The caretaker is not a substitute for production crew, event security or vehicle marshals.
The published event rate is designed for a full event proper with planned ingress, setup and egress. Studio W9 does not currently publish a two-hour portrait-session product, so short debut portraits, prenup portraits, graduation portraits, family portraits and similar short photo sessions are not a fit for this event page.
Photography teams planning a full production day can review the photography studio guidance instead.
Technical review can still be required for multiple powered booths or simultaneous sets, temporary distribution boards, cooking/heating/refrigeration, supplemental cooling, motors/high-inrush equipment, substantial lighting/AV, generators, and continuity-critical operations, including quiet-format events.
Concurrent bookings and overlapping uses are reviewed together with fixed house loads and operating limits; they are not each promised the same spare capacity.
Payment instructions are issued only after Studio W9 staff confirms availability and booking-specific commercial terms. Package fit and final booking status remain separate staff-controlled decisions.
Prefer email? Send your event details — preferred date, event-proper start and end times, ingress and egress hours, expected attendance, and layout requirements — to business@w9studio.net and our team will follow up. An inquiry does not reserve a date or confirm a booking.
Studio W9 is at Warehouse 9, La Fuerza Compound, 2241 Don Chino Roces Avenue, Bangkal, Makati City 1233. Don Chino Roces Avenue is still commonly referred to locally as Pasong Tamo.
Up to two allocated parking spaces may be included only when expressly stated in the approved quotation, subject to La Fuerza Compound rules and operating conditions. Additional parking is not included or guaranteed.
