just wanted to share this bit of information.
my fiance and I also want an outdoor wedding we scheduled ours summer next year. i was also frustrated on looking for a place due to budget constraints…
i remember a film of aga’s and regine the church in the scene is kinda open air. i’ve asked around and browsed through the internet but can’t find a blog regarding this church. luckily, an officemate of mine knows a churc that looks like the one from aga’s.
NATURE’S CHURCH at moonwalk las pinas.
we decided to do an ocular and see the place.
its very LOVELY. its a quaint open chapel in the middle of a garden made. we fell in love with in instantly.
the rates is way too swak with our budget.
Php 9,600 for the church. however, we are required to hold the reception there and have their inhouse caterer. not bad as well the garden is equally LOVELY and the rates is really within the budget menus ranges from 300-650/pax.
Now we have other things to splurge on.
Hope you could pass this around.

@Joanne: Thanks for the info! Do you have some photos?

Nice site.

Hi!

I’ve been gleaning several pre-wedding tips from your website, and I just wanted to thank you! I got SO much information (I’m an April 2008 bride-to-be)
Our reception will be held in our garden at home. To cut down the costs, we too are making our own invites, designed by my brother who is a graphic designer and web artist. We also found a great caterer who gave us an awesome package for a sit-down dinner for 150 people (at P235 a head only, including amenties!)

@mcdl: That’s great! Glad to be able to help P235 per head is a great deal. Hope you can email me feedback about your caterer! Lots of brides-to-be would love to know about that

hi! i just chanced upon this blog while searching for a breakfast wedding reception. i am also an April 2008 bride, and aside from the church we haven’t decided on anything yet. i am just happy to have found this blog. i think i will have a very productive christmas break, reading your blog. and i hope mcdl shares the info about the great caterer! =) happy holidays!!!

hi, i chanced upon your website while looking for resources for a friend.

The one mentioned by joanne is located in UP Los Baños in Laguna. =)

regards,

Joanne flores can u give me the website of contact number of nature church if you dont mind please since I’m also scouting an outdoor wedding..pls pls…thank you

Really nice place.

Tel no.: 801-7806 / 805-7225

Ive met a Filipina lady, we are starting the wedding planning stage. I have to admit, I am totally lost, and quite confused as to how much it should cost. She has her idea, ( hehe ) I am like .. do we have to spend that much ?? She told me today the clothing for us, parents and others will run about 250,000 - 320,000 peso. I am estimating the total wedding cost and honeymoon will run about 60,000 USD. ( fainting ) I have read your comments of out door Garden weddings. That is exactly what she wants at Fernwood. a 10 tier cake, chocolate fountain, butterfly release, dove release, reception for 150 guests ect ect.. Can you send me any hints ( hehe ) or should I just hand her my checkbook ?

James

@Jona: Thanks for the info, Jona! That’s great help to our readers
@James Peters: That’s quite a grand wedding you’re having! Yep, just hand her your checkbook

hi, i’ve seen wedding packages for oasis and jardin de miramir which costs like 130k…do you think it’s cheaper and better if you avail these packages?

Hi we’ve planned to have an under the sea beach theme wedding on december this year we want a garden venue, located @ new manila q.c. or anywhere near mt. carmel church we’re just only looking for a venue because we have our own caterer, could you please help us guys looking for a cheap (Php 10k or below) yet cozy place, thanks a lot.

can you suggest possible reception venues in manila or makati for a wedding on sept. ty

Wow! What a great site… Actually, I am also looking for a perfect place for my wedding probably on the last quarter of the year. Natures Church must be the perfect place. The Church that was used in PANGAKO movie of Aga and Regine is in Laguna and I am also looking for the same place but I want it to be located in Metro Manila. Thank you so much…

Hello Ms. Irven! I an Event Specialist, 130K? What are the inclusions? Is this for 100 pax? Can you give me details so that I can give you a friendly advise.

joanne, i also wanted to to wed in nature’s church but after reading thru this website, ur comment caught my attention. can you please give me the details in where your wedding was held? thanks.

I don’t know how i stumbled upon this website, but its really helpful! It’s really helpful for us filipino-american. I always wanted to have my wedding in the philippines, but never knew where to begin or where to even look! Thanks for this blog, its really helpful.

hi joanne,

i’m confused in chosing the perfect church on our wedding..we’re planning to have it on the 1st qtr of 2009. im confused with National Shrine of Sacred Heart and Nuestra Senora de Gracia (both in Makati) though, few days ago, i got interested with Nature Church. i remembered the movie with regine… i find it unique and lovely too. i check on their rates. both church and the food are affordable. but i would also like to know if they have sumptuous and delicious food. my fiance and i both want to splurge more on food. i want the food that our guest will remember for a lifetime. hope to hear from you.

hi! im getting married through civil ceremony this november 2008…since my boyfriend of 8 years (we have a kid already) is a muslim and im a catholic we opted for that kind of ceremony para walang maapakang parties…and i wanted my wedding to be simple but remembable since it’s the only wedding i get to have…alam mo yun walang gaanong elaborations compared to church weddins…and with a little time and budget i want to ask baka may alam kang venue na cheap pero maganda.thanks and More power to your site

hi i’m a late may or early june bride to be. i was just wondering if you guys know of a garden that would be fit for a Christian Wedding? please help. im about to lose my sanity here.hope to hear from you guys. our budget’s 200 to 250k all in. thank you so much.

Hi there!

In case you need a wedding coordinator, you can contact me at 09178561918 or email me at akinto66@yahoo.com.

Thanks!

Guys, I recommend you to have a wedding coordinator because it’s a big help.

check cipriano’s garden:
232 Malaya Street, United San Pedro Subdivision, San Pedro, Laguna 4023 Philippines

http://www.ciprianosgarden.com

I think their wedding package would run to 63K for 100 pax. (foods and venue)

For wedding gowns, try divisoria. Bridal gowns would range from 2500 to 8k

Thanks Belle for the advice, I’ll be seeing you soon to be my official wedding coordinator. I am a tough client so be more patient.

helo everyone! im a wedding photographer n hv been thru most of d venues mentioned here but i’m hopelessly surfing around coz i’m planning for my own weddng and it’s tuff!

to impart a bit of info from experience, nature’s church is a lovely venue, ul get beautiful shots in d morning, sayang biglang nasunog, but i’v heard reconstructed n uli. maraming food choices, not dat bad as i remember d church alone wud make the experience memorable

cipriano’s garden is a steal coz the venue is breathtaking. big beautiful place with many places for a wonderful shoot, but been there twice pero di ko pa ntikman food, dahil nililigpit agad grrrr… bad news to suppliers at late guests.

great garden venues i remember are fernwood, hardinero, josephine’s tagaytay, jardin de miramar…

as for my own wedding, low budget is mking my knowledge worthless hehehe… help any1?

Nice reading!!! Keep posting.

There is a discount in May also

Thanks

Hi

My bf and i choose malate church but we had a problem for the reception venue. Can you guys help to find for a place that would fit to our budget? and also do you have a number of ramon magsaysay hall?

Thanks
Jona

@james peters: 250-300K for gowns, & such? if your very rich, spending for your wedding shouldn’t be a problem, but i honestly believe all your funds should be spent for just one day… after all, your wedding is just the beginning of your life together, right?

talk to your fiancee on what she really wants… i’m helping my sister organize her wedding… though my working budget is less than 100K, all in, which should be workable as she doesn’t have much guests — her fiancè is also a foreigner & his family won’t be here, we think its fair to him to just have guests he’ll really know & would really matter in theru life.

hello gail im planning my reception to be held in patio victoria,help me if u have an idea about the place thanks

hi. the church in aga’s movie is in UPLB. I fell in love with the place too. Just imagine flowing water beneath the seats. quite impressive. check it out. on top of the mountain.

hello everyone! We’re planning to have our wedding on january 2009,having a baby of 1 month & 2 weeks and we’re here in Canada.We dont know how we will manage our wedding in the Philippines and with just P150k to P200k budget only,maybe a 100 guests to attend.Location is just in manila. We are just starting a living here in Canada at may 1st baby pa kaya wala masyadong budget.
Balak sana namen eh magbinyag na lang paguwi kaya lang we promise to my parents na magpapakasal kme sa simbahan kya kahit maliit na budget sana maisakatuparan namen.Mahal din ang pamasahe pauwi sa Pilipinas kaya nabawasan pa ang budget namen.

I hope matulungan niyo po kame sa mga suggestions niyo.Malaking tulong ang maibibigay niyo. And one thing din po…bigayan niyo rin po ako ng list na dapat asikasuhin pag mag plan ng wedding. THANK YOU PO AND GOD BLESS sa inyo.

to James Peters: 250-300k for a gown is a way too expensive.. you have to talk to her and give her your budget.. it’s true that your wedding should be memorable but put in mind that what important is what will you couples be after the wedding.. give her you budget, let her know why you can’t spend 60k usd.. its too much for me.. i’l be getting wed also and we’re working here at SG.. but I’m trying to find ways not to cost our wedding for more than 350k php.. i dnt want to put all our savings for just a one day event..im thinking of our future.. i dnt want to spend too much for our wedding then after that, we have to save again for our future family..spend you money wisely i’d rather put our other savings to investment and insurance.. i think 300-500k php is enough for 200 pax.. you can try to email caterers and ask them for venue and packages..blue gardens venue is only 45k..they have packages with buffet food already which will cost 150k for 150pax.. i will also recommend that you visit silay.multiply.com.. they can help you work around your budget.. i’m planning to get them as my wedding coordinator.. that’s all! hope this help for those who are getting married..

TO JAMES PETERS:

The estimates are way way way way too expensive. Please visit http://lgevents.multiply.com. They will give you a good rate. They can refer you to affordable and quality suppliers. They were able to handle a wedding with 150K budget. They really customize to the needs and of course to the budget of their clients.

TO LIZ:
please also visit the site for future reference.

God bless

TO JANE:

please visit http://lgevents.multiply.com. I know that they can work out the very best wedding for your budget. They have access to great locations such as the clubhouse in greenhills, valle verde, green meadows, and corinthians. These venues are really affordable. LG Events is a one-stop shop. You do not have to worry about exceeding 200K, im positive they will be able to give you only the best and the most affordable suppliers.

Please do contact them.

Hi!

Can anyone suggest a wedding reception venue near St. Ignatius church na affordable? Indoor wedding sana, because aircon is a major consideration. we’re planning on a brunch/lunch reception. Thank you!
