Ideas 101: Wedding Church

We've been planning for our church wedding for months already but we don't come up with anything yet. So after hubby and i discussed about our wedding date, budget and some related stuffs, we decided to 'officially' start the prep by choosing on which church we want to hold the wedding ceremony. then will reserve or probably confirm at once.

Date check: It's 17 months to go before our preferred wedding date.

Our prime choice of Church:

 

Sanctuario de San Antonio Parish

This is our first and primary choice. The location is posh and not to mention the air conditioned-interior with long aisle.. I always wanted to walk down on a carpeted and long aisle..Well you know, to maximize my "bridal" moment. It's my Big day anyway so i think its just fair if i make the most of my "big" day.

Both of our kids were Christened here. And i really hope we'll be wed here as well. I inquired already and will be setting the payment next month and will also confirm right away to secure our date. We only have a limited budget that's why a venue nearby (Makati or Manila) which is accessible would be sufficient. We don't want to splurge, i just want it to be small and simple.                    

Rates: Php25,000

Reservation fee: Php5000 then will need to confirm after a month of reservation.

 Shrine of St. Therese

This is the nearest classy church from our place. It is located across Naia terminal 3. When i first saw this place i instantly fell in love with it. I'm already day dreaming to be wed here. The church's interiors were magnificent. And it has a long aisle leading to the altar. I think its also air conditioned. Unfortunately, when i went there to inquire, the parish's office were closed and according to the guard, they're hosting an event for priests from different places. So i guess i should get back next week or will call them first. We heard the rates here is Php 40, 000. Gosh! Now i'm holding back my dreams of wanting to be wed here, practicality just come in mind. I don't want to overspend on church alone. It's really not practical for me. But if we don't have any other choices, then i guess we'll just see.
