[juwie]

To add to The Glass Garden info, if you upgrade your lights&sounds via one of their accredited suppliers, the electrical charge of 8k is waived.

Wedding budget should not exceed 300k samin...so far kasyang kasya pa... hehe! need lang ng hands on planning and stick to budget dapat kakasya naman.... 150guests and add DIY pla para mas makatipid...

Hello sis katsy.m!
Si glass garden [textspeak!] first choice ko nung una pa lang. The reason na nagpalit kami is because my husband doesn't want to have the ceremony in the same venue. Christian wedding kasi kami. As much as possible, kung same place man, at least different function hall sana..oh well..pagbigyan so we've decided to move into another venue.

[katsy.m]

^Hi sis vitug.anne! ayy, oo, mahirap nga talaga kapag ganyan ang set up niyo. 

[simang]

Recomputing our budget and I'm feeling we won't exceed 300k.

^Nung bago pa yung glass garden, i told myself na isa yun sa mga possible na ibook ko as my reception venue. kaso, 2 years ago, kinasal yung friend ko at dun sa glass garden ang reception. ayoko naman pareho kami. parang wala na bang ibang place...

so i looked for another "glass garden" and i found sitio elena! when i first saw it, natuwa na agad ako sa kanya. kasi super professional ng mga AE, super helpful and accomodating. ang galing nila. i told them, magbubook ako sa inyo kung maihahanap nyo ako ng church...and they did. sila pa mismo pumunta para ipencil book yun kasi nga in demand yung date ng wedding ko. at weekend pa.

sorry off-topic. hihi. anyway, as regards our wedding budget, ok na ok pa naman. kasi photobooth na lang naman ang wala. and mukang may napili na ko.

[juwie]

^ I checked out Sitio Elena, maganda rin nga. ganyan din feeling ko with Mango Farm. When fiance and I saw the place nagandahan kami, but we didn't book it kasi, kakasal din friend namin ni fiance year na same church ng amin. If we booked Mango Farm eh di wala ng unique sa amin. But no regrets, I'm very happy with TGG.

[vitug.annie]

I would agree to that too.. Maganda din ang Sitio Elena. Nag request nga din ako ng quote from them. But as I've said yung church talaga ang prob namin from the start dahil bihira lang ang Christian Church nearby.. And then, I found out na may bagong events venue na tinatayo so lipat na lang kami dun.. Separate pa yung ceremony. at pasok sa budget.

[fionaapple]

^sis, saan venue mo?

[vitug.annie]

^hi fionaapple!
hanging gardens in novaliches.

As much as possible mga sis, go with perks and discount, sayang naman

sis fionaapple, wow! yung budget namin ay reception and caterer mo lang.. hehe

medyo nag-invest kami sa Church and HMUA since gusto ni fiance na aircon church and ako gusto ko medyo gumanda ako ng konti.. haha

btw sis, sino supplier ng invitations mo?

[fionaapple]

^medyo mahal kinuha namin na venue. pero yung caterer will be MIL's gift to us. pinahanap niya ko ng caterer na hindi ordinary yung food tsaka hindi cheap yung setup. tapos sabi niya yun daw ang regalo niya samin.

Global Invitations ang gagawa ng invites namin.
