Gary and I are a fickle-minded couple having a hard time deciding on where will the wedding be.
 |
| At San Juan, Batangas |
 |
| The big tree is where I imagined the altar would be under |
Pros: Perfect for our Alice-in-wonderland theme, accessible to guests, no need to transfer from ceremony venue to reception venue, near possible preps hotels, no corkage fees, no accredited caterers
Cons: The covered area is dugyot-looking, would need drapes, restrooms are dugyot-looking, no aircon
Damage: Php15k for covered area, Php 10k for garden, Php10k for drapes (to rent from other suppliers), Php8k for air coolers (to rent from other suppliers)

Right now, we're looking into 2 other options.
Option 3: UP Bonsai Garden for ceremony + UP Bahay ng Alumni for reception
Pros: Perfect for our Alice-in-wonderland theme, accessible to guests, short travel time from ceremony venue to reception venue, near possible preps hotels, no corkage fees, no accredited caterers
Cons: Drapes are not allowed, venue can accommodate 400 guests (Parang superlaki for 150 guests)
Damage: Php10k for ceremony in UP Bonsai Garden, Php 20k for 4-hr reception in UP Bahay ng Alumni (5k/hour if non-aircon, 8k/hr if aircon), electricity fees
Option 4: Garden ceremony elsewhere + Reception in Elements at Centris
Pros: Perfect for our Alice-in-wonderland theme, accessible to guests, short travel time from ceremony venue to reception venue, near possible preps hotels, drapes are readily available, airconditioned, clean restrooms
Cons: Super expensive, Purpledish is not an accredited caterer yet, we would have to set-up ceremony area
Damage: Php10k for garden ceremony elsewhere (+allowance for set-up like chairs, arch, aisle, altar), Php55k for reception in Elements
We are open to other suggestions.
I hope you can comment down below for venue suggestions.
Lovelots,
The Happy Bride
