Manila Churches

[rightback]

you can choose naman not to reserve the church muna since 2017 pa naman kayo. But in case you also pick San Sebastian we can compare notes na rin

San Agustin Bride here, katatapos lang wedding ko last april 2015. Ganda talaga ng church nato. dami lang bookings kaya madalian...

[donya_dyosa]

paco church is different from paco park church ha.. may iba kami guests sa paco church pumunta... my gosh... kaloka.

[pogi02]

^ Ayy kaloka nga yan sis! Nakuuu. Hirap nyan nagkakanda-walaan ang guests.
Hmmm. If ever yung sa Paco Park, ang ma-book namin, I think much better if I'll be using "St.Pancratius Chapel" in our invites para mas clear lang sa mga guests.

Sis Velvetdreams - Hindi na kami sa St. Therese sis. The traffic is horrible at malalayo na from possible reception venues. We had to let it go.

Sisses pogi02, bonzaigirl & rightback - Thank you for the ressurances pero hindi naman din kami papatalo sa "sumpa" na yan. I actually have an aunt who got married there about 30 years ago & nasa Norway na sila ng hubby niya, still happily married. As for the misallete(?), Ms. Coronel of Manila Cathedral suggests na kahit wala na raw nun para makatipid. Like invitations, at the end of the celebration ay itatapon lang din ito ng guests. Sa gown, gusto nila mas simple, pati pala yung takong ng shoes sis, as much as possible kung di rin naman sanay e wag na mag-stilettos kasi nakikita raw nila yung di maayos na paglakad ng bride, nakakatawa at nakakaawa rin lang daw. As for pictorials, almost 15minutes lang i-allot nila, but if you will see their books, a wedding starts at 1:30PM and the wedding after that will start at 3PM and the last wedding for that day will be 5:30PM. If na-late ang start ng 15 minutes, unang mawawala is the offertory. During the orientation, may naikwento si Ms. Coronel na dating wedding na pinaka-late nila is one hour, di na raw nagMarch lahat ng nasa entourage, derecho vows & pictorial na lang.

^ ^ salamat sa pag update sis djc.. oo napansin ko din na ang traffic ng bongga dun sa may villamor
kase dahil sa ginagawang Skyway... so na push nyo na ang Manila Cathedral?
haha ako hindi din naniniwala sa sumpa about dyan hihi..ang elegant nga nung church ehh ♥
hindi naman ba prone mag wedding every hour ang manila Cathedral?

true sis. dapat imention na lang nilang Paco Park kasi magkaiba sina Paco Church at St.Pancratius Chapel hihi

[djctapalla23]

Sis velvetdreams oo dun na talaga kami ni H2B. Maybe pag maayos na Skyway dun na lang kami magRenewal of vows? \^o^/

[prettylove]

Kami naman San Sebastian. It was the first thing we booked since yun naman yung importante.

Hi sis rightback! 2016 bride po. Question lang we booked din kasi san sebastian church. Are you considering to change your singer na provided na ng church? Wala pa kasi ako idea kung ok ba ang singers sa san sebastian? Thank you so much!

[jaycris]

sis djctapalla23, Manila Cathedral bride din ako. actually si h2b ang nag push na MC kami. Gusto ko sana sa UST Church kasi aircon din naman and hindi mahigpit sa rules, not to mention na di hamak na mas mura sya compared with MC. UST alumni dn ako kaya binenta ko talaga to. pero sa lahat ng suppliers namin, [textspeak!] church lang yung ni request ni h2b (tska starbucks booth. haha!) Kaya OK fine. pagbigyan.

[marchbridetobe]

^sis, sa UST church ba allowed ang personal vows? sayang naman ang ganda ng MC tas di inaallow personal vows kahit sayo anf officiating priest another thing pala, bakit in some SDEs na napapanuod ko na MC ang church, parang limited ang coverage sa loob church? yung iba more on sa preps lang and sa labas ng church after wedding na. mahigpit ba sila sa p/v sa loob?

[jaycris]

yes sis marchbridetobe, allowed sa UST church ang personal vows. Regarding sa p/v coverage, alam ko kasi limited lang din yung area na pwede mag shoot [textspeak!] p/v mo. i think its one of the reasons why they need to attend the seminar. Tinanggap ko na lang nang maluwag sa loob yun nung nag pa-book kami sa MC. hehe. At least nakakuha kami ng slot within the year kahit a month ago lang ako nagpa book. Marami pang open slots sa MC ngayon since hindi sila nagpapabook when the renovations were still on going. And next year daw magtataas na naman sila ng price.

[tan.denise54]

Hi sis, personal vows are allowed in UST church You mean mount carmel? I asked my photographer and he said hindi naman daw strict sa Mount Carmel

[marchbridetobe]

ay really allowed personal vows sa USTe?? Thomasian din ako and gusto ko nga sana dun din ang church kaso di feasible sa reception ko dahil QC pa and since friday ang wedding ko at considering Quiapo Day yun, wala na talagang pag asa. haha.

grabe naman sis jaycris magtataas pa sila next year? eh 40plus na sila ngayon pag with aircon diba. kalokaa.

sis tan.denise54, i was referring to Manila Cathedral. hehe. pero since nabanggit mo ang Mount Carmel, yung sa QC ba yan da project 6? wedding ceremony kasi namin eh yung chapel inside Fernwood na under Mt. Carmel sa project 6, sabi di daw nag aallow ng personal vows pag ang officiating priest ay galing sa kanila eh

[jaycris]

Oo daw sis. Magtataas sila ng 2K next year. 

[clairetez]

Masasabi ko lang, iwasan din ang Ermita church.

Bawal coordinator
Bawal isara ang pinto pag march ng bride
Bawal magpaksal ng holidays like independence day or manila day (to think na lagi namang may misa at puwede naman iwan sa sacristan or mother butler ang instrruction or forms)
Bawala ang non-liturgical songs
Iisipin pa nila kung ibabawal ang personal vows
Hindi nalalayo sa presyo ng Malate

Magulo kausap ang secretary na namamahala sa kasal, kung tumatawag kayo overseas be by phone or via skype, don;t waste your time and money

and yes, nalaman ko lang lahat yan on the last 3 weeks bago kami ikasal...despite na for more than a year ako nakikipag-usap sa kanila
Nasabi ko ba na pagkabigay ng bans sa akin , ay sinabihan ako na ipaskil nga 3 weeks at ibalik. Taga france si groom, wala po sa baclaran ang France.
Samantalang 2 months before ang papeles namin sa chancery tapos na , tapos tumawag ako may mga papel pa ba na dapat ayusin dahil taga-ibang bansang parish si groom. Wala na daw. pre-cana na lang.

Malamang sa hindi sa kasal ko mismo magmamando pa sila ng kung ano ano pa

O diba hindi pa nga ako kinakasal, sobra na hinakit ko sa kanila.

So kahit magaling at mabait ang mga pari ng Ermita, unnecessary stess galore ang aabutin nyo sa mga parish secretaries

[tan.denise54]

It's a good thing that you're preparing early sis! You will be able to book Paco Church naman I think basta once mag open sila, book nyo na agad

I like San Sebastian din. Kaso nalalayuan na si h2b
Yung sa MOA, ayoko, malayo na rin talaga yun. Prefer kasi namin yung malapit lang talaga sa Ibarra's. Yes tama ka, near Rob Ermita nga ito.

Manila Cathedral no no since may history daw na naghihiwalay mga nagpapakasal don. Hahah! Just kidding. San Agustin naman, baka daw mapagastos kami ng bongga. Pero pasok naman sa budget.

Yung Paco Church kasi, next year pa nila i-open ang slots for 2017. BTW, Jan2017 pa pala kami. Hahah! Medyo excited lang.

Pwede ko ba malaman sis how much wedding rites sa San Sebastian?

[rightback]

Hi sis rightback! 2016 bride po. Question lang we booked din kasi san sebastian church. Are you considering to change your singer na provided na ng church? Wala pa kasi ako idea kung ok ba ang singers sa san sebastian? Thank you so much!

hi sis prettylove. most likely we'll change the singer na rin. wala din kami idea how any of them sound. initially we were ok with the included singer and organ but decided to get strings. i wanted kasi strings for the bridal march and was thinking of playing an mp3, e sabi nung parish coordinator maganda talaga daw pag live so i took their advice hehe. i'm worried lang regarding the time constraints nung church. did they tell you din if strictly 1 hour lang?

[pogi02]

Thanks sis! Yes, hopefully, ma-book nga namin sa preferred date namin dahil ayaw talaga namin ma-move to. Non-nego ang date namin. Anyway, as per our coordinator, may kakilala sya sa Paco Park Church. Sya na daw bahala makipag-usap. Maba-block namin yung date walang nauna samin. We're just crossing our fingers for this!

[tan.denise54]

Wow, congrats sis! I think ok na yan. Paco church is really lovely
