hi sa any Our Lady of Lourdes bride here? just want to ask regarding sa inclusions ng bayad sa kanila? saka mahigpit ba sila in terms of arrangements sa aisle?
^ OLLP bride here. You might find info below useful. Sorry kung mahaba!
INCLUSIONS:1. Use of the church for one (1) hour for the ceremony (Eucharistic Celebration/Mass) and thirty (30) minutes for the picture taking.
Note: Mahigpit sila sa oras. Those with coordinators usually start the assembly 30 minutes before the actual start time.2. Availability of Ushers and church staff (commentator and readers) if needed
Note: In our case, commentator lang ang kinuha namin sa kanila kasi nag-assign ako ng readers.3. Six lighted chandelier and red carpet
4. Sound system, use of nine (9) microphones
5. Wedding chairs with kneeler for the couple and both parents
6. Five pair of flower stands if needed
Note: Color-white na parang stand. If your florist provides naman flower stand, you may not use the stands provided by the church. In our case, hindi namin ginamit yung sa church kasi off sa styling ng bulaklak namin yung stand nila. May flower arc din pala kami.7. Quadruplicate copy of marriage contract & Civil Registration of Marriage Contract
COST: Total of
Php 15,000.0014,000 = fee
1,000 = priest's stipend
SOME NOTES:1.
Do's: - Upon completion of requirements, you have to review the contract at may isisign kayo na waiver na tama yung information na andun.
- You can get the missalette copy from them. You'll have to pay 50 pesos for a CD. May Tagalog and English version na yun. Then from there, nag-DIY ako ng missalettes to incorporate our designs. We printed 40 copies per recommendation of our coordinator since itatapon lang ng ibang guests. Nagshare na lang yung iba.
- Pre-Cana seminars are done every second Sunday of the month. Whole day 'to. You can do this kahit 3 months before your wedding day.
- Canonical Interview every Thursday 8-10 AM. Per schedule. Nagleave pa kami ni hubby for this. Tinanong lang ni Father kung sure na kami sa isa't-isa, kung pano kami nagkakilala, financially stable ba kami etc. Wala yung recitation ng 10 commandments! Hahaha.
- Walang bayad ang pag-close ng door before the bride enters. Sa ibang churches kasi meron.
2.
Dont's: - Bawal sa loob ng church ang bubble machine (other churches allow this during march). Mag-stain daw sa floor and chairs kaya ayaw nila. Smoke machine pwede.
- Bawal ang anything na sinasaboy during recessional. So bawal ang bigas, flower petals at confetti. We opted for flaglets and balloons.
- Bawal din iwanan yung flower arrangement sa loob. If may florist kayo, sila na bahala sa transfer ng flowers. Kapag wala, mag-assign kayo ng someone na pwede mag-asikaso nun after the ceremony.
- Ang alam ko naghihigpit na sila ngayon sa songs played during mass. Before ang "I Offer My Life" ay pwede sa offertory at ang "The Prayer" ay pwede sa communion. Now yata binabawal na. Other than those played during mass, wala namang bawal. Choice of songs mo pa rin ang processional, bridal march at recessional.
