The Simplest Wedding One Can Imagine

[lovemeagain30]

^i've been married since dec 12, 2013.. Share ko Lang sa experience namin it's  really nice to consider ang food sa totoo lang. Kasi yung buong  entourage mo including both of your family side will look forward to it after the church event at habang nagpapa picture pa kayo ni h2b mo. Imagine your guests will wait for you, nag bihis yan sila, bumiyahe tapos nagregalo, pagdating ng kainan ni hindi man Lang sila nabusog. Parang tayo Lang din yan when we attend parties di ba? We also want to enjoy and relax din. Kayo din na bride and groom masaya din ang feeling that everyone is enjoying your party. Hindi yun nagmamadali narin silang umalis kasi nagutom sila dun at na bored pa.

Tama iba sis dito research ka pa ng ibang caterers na mura pero masarap. Ang key for budgeting food is wag mag imbita ng Tao hindi important sainyo para yung isasama niyo sa food budget niyo ay worth it talaga at masaya kayo makita sila sa event niyo. Limit your guests na kanyang kaya niyo Lang pakainin ng maayos para hindi mag suffer ang budget mo.

^thank you sis! Super powers ang kelangan ko para sa pag budget kung ganon

[lovemeagain30]

Kayang kaya yan sis! I've been there. You can cut off your budget for those things na pede kayo nalang ang gumawa mag asawa or magpa tulong sa family members. Sa church wedding ko nuon ang daming DIY like invites, save the dates, prenup pictures, decorations sa reception hall, mga give aways, flowers, photo booth,, ultimo hair and make up ko at ng entourage ko kami -kami Lang ang gumawa! 

hindi kami kumuha ng mamahaling photo and video and until now happy kami sa desisyon naming yun. Yung wedding dress ko hindi mukhang RTW. Nakabili pa nga ko ng reception dress sa murang Halaga Lang din. Wala kaming binayaran na wedding coordinator din. Kami kami Lang ang nag tulong tulong.

Pagdating sa reception buffet kami. Meron pa kaming open bar for alcohol drinks. Party talaga. Everyone had a blast! akala ng lahat mahal ang nagastos namin pero actually sa food Lang kami naglabas ng budget. Hindi pa sobrang mahal yun kasi nag research talaga kami and limited ang guests na invited namin.

The key is proper planning na and get help/support from family and friends. Hindi lahat ng magandang wedding ay kailangan gastosan ng mahal. Pede mag DIY. Patulong ka kay hubby mo , kaibigan at sa mga ka mag anak. Good luck sa preps.

^sabagay may punto ka dyan. Hindi pa kasi namin sinasabi sa mga bahay namin, kaya ngayon ang feel ko kargado lang namin 2 ni H2B. Nawala sa isip ko na may family and mga ninong at ninang na pwedeng makatulong. Inaassume ko lang ngayon na gastos namin lahat

[simang]

^sis when budgeting i suggest i karga nyo lahat sa inyo kung kayong 2 lang ang gagastos talaga. Kung may mag cash gift saka nyo na lang bawasin.

Sa amin sisters ko mostly ang magiging katulong ko mag DIY. Salamat sa kakikayan namin haha! Nov 2015 pa kami so ngayon moodboard pa lang set namin. Next yr pa ang totoong work

[eilin0823]

Kahit pala sabihin natin simple lang ang wedding talagang mapapagastos ka. hehe.. Like in our case simple sya pero less than 100k na ang amount. hehe. may mga nangako ng tulong pero di parin namin aasahan. mas maganda parin samin ang gastos. hehe..

Ano site ng Happy couples mga sis?

we had our civil wedding last month. and yes sis kristine, super impt ang food. honestly, yun lang ginastusan namin. magiging masaya guests mo if they enjoyed the food. kahit gano kaganda yun ceremony, place, souvenirs, food pa rin ang paguusapan if ever. hehe. for 50pax kinuha namin but 35pax lang invite namin. all in all, kami 2 nagshoulder wedding expenses namin, 60k.

My fiance and I will be getting married via civil wedding in Makati City Hall this December.  We will be inviting probably up to 20 people maximum.  It will be really simple since next year will be the big church wedding.  I've seen a lot of places that people recommend but the problem is I am looking for a reception venue that is good for only a small group of people not a few hundred.

Any suggestions on low budget wedding reception venues for small group of people?

[fionaapple]

low budget reception venues...depende sa area na gusto mo sis. tska sa definition mo ng low budget...ano range ng budget mo for food?

1. Max's
2. Isabelo Garden
3. Cafe Lidia
4. cafe 1771
5. Tahir's in katipunan
6. Tropicana condominium clubhouse
7. kung konti lang talaga kami, like 20, spiral.
8. Conti's kaya...
9. alam ko marami sa Morato area...

[compwiz02]

Haha well my budget is probably somewhere around 10-20k.  I've read posts where people have around 30 guests and have 60k.  But isn't there a wedding reception venue that can be done simple with 10-20k?  Buffet of food, simple catering, flowers, decoration.  I don't want it to be all out like flowers everywhere and pink and red fancy decor.  Just something simple.  I don't want to waste next year's big event I dunno if I will need to rent a room for the event.  I can't find any good pictures online of "small wedding reception" lol.  I can only find pictures of big receptions where there are tables everywhere for multiple families.  I remember at Yakimix in Ortigas where my parents and my fiance's family met each other (and had a great time), we spent around 7k for buffet.  Though for the civil wedding reception, instead of going to get our food, would be nice for people to take the food to us.

^I don't want a restaurant that resembles a place for kids.  Some place that has chairs with a cushion (not wooden).

Sis have you seen Oakroom? Sa loob sya ng Oakwood hotel sa Ortigas.

Very classy. I attended a post-civil wedding lunch there about a year ago. May curated buffet sila pag lunch for P1k if I am not mistaken. Not sure lang kung meron pa. Hope this helps.

It's a beautiful place for small parties:

  Hi! Sobrang aliw tong topic na to!

September next year bride to be din ako! Hihi. Church wedding yung gusto namin pero 50k lang ang budget.. Huhu posible kaya? ayoko din kasi gumastos ng bonga para sa isang araw lang. May mga nakacanvass naman na kmi such as:

Church - Sto. Nino De Tondo ; 8,000
Reception - Church Hall ; 2,000 (500 per hour)
Catering - 18,000 (80 pax)
Damit / Etc - 15,000 (cocktail at barong na lang sa entou / Madami kasi sa divi)
Invites & Souvenirs - 5,000

ayaaaan! ang dami pang kulang. Huhuhuhu.

May nakasal na ba dito sa church na 50,000 lang ang budget??

[airwaterfire]

Pwede sis.

Pwede naman wala ng souvenir.
Pwede rin wala ng entourage. Like sa akin, ang maid of honor at best man lang(bestman din ang ring/coin bearer)
My sponsors 2pairs plus my ang nag iisang ninang ko sa binyag.
Secondary sponsors ay ang mga imbitadong guests ko lamang.
Almost 40 lang sila kasama na ang 4 na photographers. Merong di sumulpot na 5 

Invitations mo pwedeng pwede na half ng bond lang ang size, ang names niyo, parents at details ng kasal. Wag mong e-indicate ang reception place mo. Yan ang ginawa ko and pag may nagtanong sa akin, sagot ko naman di ba sa kasal ang ceremony ang mahalaga?

Actually lumampas lang kami ng kunti sa 100k dahil napamahal ako sa photographer, sa cocktail dress ko at sa anak namin kasi naging package(nagkamali ako), sa souvenir at pamasahe ng mga families namin from the province. Tsaka ang reception namin di ko tinipid(all praises naman sila). Plus double celeb din, bday ng anak namin.

Glad I found this thread. Ganda ng mga inputs. Gusto pa rin ng church wedding na naka A/C saka maganda pero affordable na P/V.. Gusto ko sana less than 100k lang magastos namin. plan namin mga december 2016, that's gonna be our 9th year together or dec 2017 para 10th year 

Gusto ko kase may sariling house na muna kase, besides we have kids ha. May alam ba kayo na small na church lang sa Makati na affordable?
