2016 Bride (Part 3)

[Missus O]

@sis hermione - tama yung isang sis natin dito. I've been to a wedding sa Nuestra Senora de Gracia, tahimik yung area kasi papasok ka sa bakod nila. May parking na din. Kaya kung pagbukas ng church doors  walang mga jeep na makikita, mga parked cars lang nga hehe. Small church lang sya. Kaya hindi ganun kahaba yung aisle.  Old church sya, parang San Agustin Church yung labas in the sense na  lumang bato yung labas ng church , pero mas maliit sya ng di hamak. Simple din yung interior nya sa loob and hindi sya airconditioned, and may garden sila sa loob, maganda sya if you would want a small wedding.  Eto yung isa sa mga churches na gusto ko din sana if kung sa Manila kami ikakasal.  Goodluck sis.

Budget kasi namin is 150k pero upon costing lalagpas kami.
Torn between getting an All In Wedding Package or individual suppliers.

May maissuggest ba kayo na wedding venue within QC na less 15k?

Thank you.

^sis natalie try mo icheck ang site ng vjtimeline, my friend will be married this november yan ang kinuha nilang package, Kamuning QC ang reception nila.

@karenmaechua @sparklingjewel  hi ladies! The management just sent me a revised confirmation letter out of nowhere, kaya literally it was a miracle lol. Didnt ask for it, nothing. As in after a few months after booking they just did it. I can only speculate. Maybe narealize lang talaga nila na medyo drastic yung increase and hindi sya competitive with the prices of ither venue providers in the area given na ilan lang ba yung churches near Angelfields, parang 2 lang. E tapos andaming venue na pagpipilian na di gaanong mahal at madaming inclusions. Pero syempre bentahe kasi ng Angelfields yung exclusivity and solemnity nya. Maganda naman talaga, pero sa panahon na to dapat practical din tayo kaya titimbangin din natin. I guess medyo kinonsider din nila yung nga factors na yun. But at any rate, masayang masaya talaga kami ng fiancé ko until now. Last week pa namin nalaman pero we're still over the moon! May kulang 100k kami to spare yahoooo!

Missus O - thank you sis sa review!


Nag inquire na ko sa NE Greenhills, Corinthian Gardens, VV 4 and VV 6 Clubhouse di daw pwede walang sponsor eh.

sa VV4 naman tinanong nya ko kung san ako nakatira, sabi ko si h2b sa san Juan. ayun! tutulungan nya daw ako. try ko daw tumawag ulit. yieee! hoping! sana pwede. Ang laki kasing tipid nito.
Then I can invest sa styling kasi nakatipid na ko sa Venue!

Sa mga nakappunta na sa VV4 Clubhouse, mataas naman yung ceiling diba? Pwede lagyan ng drapings? Kasya naman ba kame 150 pax?

Hi 2016 brides!   I am so happy that I got to see this thread

We went to some of the bridal fairs recently and found CD Worx Photography and videography.

I have read from some articles that they have won supplier of the year awards/ gives lots of freebies/good quality , and yet, still very affordable.
i am just wondering if there are recent reviews here about them because the thread that i read is still way back 2011 and has only very few basis.

Hope you can help me. We are planning to book them.
TIA!

Hello Mga Sis. Question re: legal paper works
When would it be advisable to process the legal documentation like the marriage license?
Wedding is on April pa naman but H2B and I were planning on processing the license sometime in December. Is it too late or too early pa? TIA

[stylus]

^sis, marriage license has 120 days validity only

[hermione28]

raspberi - same tayo sis. gusto namen mag ayos na ng papers kasi baka magka problema pa. kaso wala talagang choice eh. Marriage License 120 days lang validity. tapos 1 month before the wedding kame uuwi, so don palang namen malalakad yung sa church. ganon talaga yata, haggardness pag malapit na.


I badly need sponsor sa Corinthian Gardens. Don na talaga gusto ko.
Santuario De San Jose and Corinthian Gardens.

[biskybear]

Sorry, can somebody please list down all the documents and seminars (time period included) that couples would need for the wedding? Ang dami kasi nakakalito at nakaka overwhelm na! 😔😝

[ahiahh19]

HI Girls

Newbie here, as in kailangan ko na ba mag panic
wala pa kami theme motif pero nag dp na kami ng church and venue

sobra saya ko nakita ko GT

church: Twin Hearts of Jesus and Mary
Venue: Plaza Ibarra

Any feedback po with Plaza ibarra?

[Chili1113]

hermione28: How many guests do you have? If you have a lot of guests I dont suggest you have it in Corinthian Gardens Clubhouse. Baka kulang ang space. Although Ive attended a debut there and they had perhaps about 200 guests, but they had to rent the outdoor space and put the buffet tables there including the photobooth. The clubhouse has 3 or 4 function rooms in a circular layout. If your wedding is on a weekend chances are meron ka katabi na party.  Tabi tabi pa naman ang function rooms doon and it is divided by all glass, so kitang kita mo what is happening in the other party heheh

Mas OK Valle Verde 4. Solo mo the whole place and high ceiling. Another good clubhouse is North Forbes.

[hermione28]

^Aww. 4 function rooms pala yon? sa pic kasi isa lang nakita ko, isang pabilog lang.
150 ang guest ko sis.

Sa VV4 oo nga sis solo nga. pero worry ko is kasya ba ang 150pax don? para kasing ang liit ng place eh. Pero sabi nung nakausap they have a new social hall that can accomodate 250pax. Pero di ko alam kung ano itsura.

I saw Green Meadows Clubhouse. 24k daw ang rent. Ang ganda sa labas. pero mababa kasi yung ceiling eh. Na consider ko sya bigla kasi malapit pala yon sa Christ the king!
Any reviews sa Greenmeadows Clubhouse?



hi sis ahiahh19, welcome sa GT.

Twin Hearts naconsider ng sis ko dati for her wedding, pero strict sila sa OFW kaya di na kame tumuloy dun. Pero maganda yung lugar, tahimik ang walang bystanders and street vendors.

Plaza Ibarra is good too and maganda sa pics, but 2 lang masasabi ko.
this is just my opinion. They have inhouse caterer and gasgas na sa pics. hehe.

[Missus O]

^Hi sis kung Santuario de san Jose ka, what about WackWack Country  club?

[Missus O]

^^oops sorry, di ko nakita na Christ the King na pala yung chirch mo, thought it was Santuario. 😰

[sparklingjewel]

Agree about Corinthians Clubhouse... the village itself is posh but the clubhouse is likely to have a kiddie party esp on weekends hehe and super visible nga from the lobby. Parang hindi lang intimate reception venue. Try Acropolis Clubhouse?

[hermione28]

Wala pa kong church sis. Hehe.
I'm considering kasi Santuario De San Jose+Corinthians/Valle Verde

Then you mentioned Green Meadows and 24k lang naman yung venue then I saw Christ The King, malapit lang din don. So I got interested!

Ang ganda sa wack wack! Kaso nabasa ko sa reviews 2 lang daw accredited caterer nila eh.

I'm so happy, sabi ni h2b mag aask na daw sya sa tita nya, which for sure may kakilala sa lahat ng subdivisions sa area na yun because of her business! Tignan mo yun, pinahirapan lang ako pwede naman pala! Haha.

Now I'm looking at Valle Verde 6 na. Magaganda yung reviews. Mga sis, saan po pinakamagandang Clubhouses in that area?
TIA!!

[monopoly19]

Joining! Though it would just be a civil ceremony. So everything would be done in Casa Manila in Intramuros. Wedding preps are so much fun. I kinda wish I'm more stressed at sana ikapayat ko but seems like everything is going according to plan. Well, wala pa ako dress and my wedding is in February na. Would like to lose weight before going to a fitting.

[hermione28]

sparklingjewel - hi sis, thank you din sa review.

mas nagagandahan ako sa Green Meadows kesa sa Acropolis. Saka mas malaki din yata Green Meadows?

2 options nalang, Green Meadows or Valle Verde 6! Yehey. Sana this week makapag decide na ko.
Para maka move on na ko, caterer. Then photo and video na.


I tried calling Christ The King sooooo many times. Wala ako makausap. Walang sumasagot.

[chingky]

Hi hermione28. I'm holding my reception at the Greenmeadows Clubhouse. Those were my last 2 options also, but Valle 6 was already booked on my date. I believe Valle 6 is also cheaper, but you'll need a sponsor, unlike Greenmeadows where they have an option for non-sponsorship (but I still got one. Hehe. Sayang din the 2500 😄).

You may also try Valle 1. That's 15k only for the full clubhouse, but it's surrounded by glass and you'll be seen from outside. Unless that's okay with you.

I agree also with your opinion about the Acropolis clubhouse. It's more like Grecian style with pillars, unless you're going for that. It's really dated since I've been attending parties there back when I was a kid in the 90s and it still looks exactly the same. Hahaha.

I hope this will help you choose the perfect venue for you.
