Wedding Planning Adventure : Reception Venue
This is so me... once I get started I won't stop hahahahah..
Well, I did started this blog for me to have a space to organize my wedding preps and of course to share my journey to anyone in the WWW :-)
So now, lets talk about reception venue. We've been able to booked my dream Church Our Lady of Mt Carmel Shrine now its reception time, its where the party is, the most anticipated part of the wedding why wouldn't it be. You have food, drinks, sweets, singing, dancing, laughing and maybe the occasional tears.
So finding the perfect venue is not an easy task, especially if you're an overseas bride. I rely on pics and reviews from the internet and my email conversations with their account executive. But then I was able to narrow my search into 3 venues that I would definitely visit during my June holiday in Manila.
And top 3 are:
1163 Santol Street is a property
formerly owned by an artist Romel Tuazon’s family. On May 2009 this
place was opened to the public as a wedding venue acquiring the name:
Light of Love, which offers a wide parking space, a caterer’s area, and
maintenance and security staff during the event, as well as courtesy
rooms for wedding couples and debutantes.
Light of Love’s gates open up to a tree-lined driveway illuminated with suspended lights among its branches. The main building is an old mansion against a backdrop of a luscious garden surrounded by trees of up to 60 years old and a magnificent landscape.

Let the moonlight and stars shine upon your intimate reception underneath the glass covered skylight.
I love the chandelier, I could imagine how it would look like at night

This was recommended by my Tita Mileth, she was able to attend a wedding at Oasis and she was impressed with this venue.

3. Plaza Ibarra
I found Plaza Ibarra on one of my internet searching, and glad I did. They don't have this grand landscape to boast but their venue is equally beautiful and read good reviews about them.
Their package rates is in par with Light Of Love and since they do their own catering I won't worry that we wouldn't have enough food.
And among the three AE I've been in contact with Chris is the best, not only does he answers my emails promptly, I have this feeling that he is nice and accommodating its just the way he writes his email.
