They have given justice to what i just simply dreamt of, I just gave the the pictures of what I wanted the described the additional things I liked to be added, this and that blah blah and then presto <3 a dream turned reality, the combination of flowers were fascinating its like a fairy tale come true.. Indeed it is more than i could think of, you get what you paid for..

• CATERER

Decoration wise I was speechless and they are known for that no doubt about it. The food presentation is from a pro, the taste? its gratifying, mouthwatering and titillating if you think I'm exaggerating then try it haha.. Ms. Beth our Godmother is very easy to approach she will give you a wide array of menu and she will suggest what is best for your event, the servers were very polite and professional as well. Its a judicious choice thumbs up :)

• PHOTO AND VIDEO

I am really not a photogenic person I could say, camera shy and I am not that confident so I am searching for the photographer whom I will be comfortable with that I will not feel intimidated or whatsoever, then Sir Carlo came haha I met him through FB while searching in some groups. naturally each and everyone of us has their own choice when it comes to style, filters, exposure and art oh I must not forget the price as well haha the most Important thing. so now you know what Sir Carlo offered, this is what exactly what i fancy and the price? is not pricey at all compared to others just ask him believe me I scored gold with this one :)

• LIGHTS AND SOUNDS

Mr Zabala was very patient and very accommodating while I am inquiring for their service. They gave me the extravagant wedding while they play with their lights and gave us all a wonderful fusion of melody that gave grace and a very amiable mood all throughout the wedding. A second to none choice for one of your major supplier.

• CAKE AND CUPCAKE

Much to my surprise Ms Tina gave me and hubby a tremendous surprise, to be honest I don't really know what our cake will look like coz I just gave her the picture then asked her to change this and that that's all then came to the wedding day when we have to cut the cake, the emcee told us about the ceremony and I asked them where is it, and much to my surprise it is just beside our love seat showcasing her beauty I never really noticed that it was a cake and It was a bliss seeing it for the first time I wasn't able to see a cupcake in person too bad thing for me but was a good  acknowledgement for her. It tasted palatable price wise I scored again hahaha :)

WEDDING VENUES NEAR BULACAN

As the title goes here are our prospected venues before we finally chose the ONE <3
as i promised from my first blog i will be giving you tips the pros and cons and some prices for the venues that were once one of our choices but take note of the price changes alright? :) and of course with the mixture of some of my stories during the search :) my wedding is near and so it's giving me this chills :P haha

There are a lot of things that i personally consider for my wedding, there should be a garden where we can hold the ceremony and there should be a place for the wedding reception. I don't really know why but I really have this peg with the drapey drapey thingy.. I find it elegant and unique specially with the effects of the lights *heart *heart*

Of course we wanted a place that is comfortable for my visitors a place that can hold up to 250 visitors though we only have 200 in our list, spacey is one of the option.

At least it shouldn't be far from our home and so that it would be easily accessible to our visitors :)

Budget friendly :) this is what we all wanted in common, pretty lovely and budget friendly. (cheers)

1. ANCON PAVILION

this were one of our choices the place il located in Malhacan Meycauayan Bulacan near the Simbahang Bilog,it has a huge garden area with a big gazebo on the side, this is a best place for garden wedding ceremonies, for outdoor team building and family day celebrations.. our church CROSSWORLD is a a regular rentee of this place where we always held our family day <3

Rating: its a 3 for me

2. ALESSANDRA GARDEN RESORT AND HOTEL

Located at St. Francis Subdivision Meycauayan Bulacan near NLEX Meycauayan tollgate.
If you have a little extra budget for the venue and you want the Cinderella going down the stairs feel of wedding you can choose this very elegant place for a very formal occasion, they have a lot of spaces and venues to chose from but we recommend the covered garden because if we were given the chance to get married here that would be our choice :) but the price is really what break our hearts the most, a little pricey and its over our budget *sigh* or should i say ....sayang
The place is indeed enchanting, and its picture perfect too <3 an INSTAGRAM worthy place.
Pros: accessible to visitors, picture perfect
Cons: no parking space
Web site http://alessandragarden.com/
Price range: Grand water falls is 45k
Rating: this is a 4

3. PATIO QUEEN SOFIA

It is in Maysan Valenzuela and the space is really huge, I actually haven't been there since I am here overseas but from the picture itself it is really big :) it was easily accessible too, I love the drapings and the high ceilings too <3 they have rooms for the bride and groom, but you see i am only searching for a venue because i already have other suppliers in mind so when they informed that they only have exclusive suppliers means a no for me :(
Pros: 1 stop shop
Cons: you have to avail their whole package
Price Range: package starts from 200 thousand depending on your package
Rating: this one's a 3

4. GRACE HARBOUR PAVILION 

Located at Sta. Maria Bulacan again near NLEX Bocaue Exit, the place has a 300 pax capacity with your own choices of room availability they also offer different packages or the venue itself, they have an outdoor space for a Garden venue and a Grand gazebo for a indoor event, the parking is big too, i loved the place when i saw it from facebook they have this lighthouse in it its like a little the greenery for me at first :) the owner is very easy to deal with and polite too :)
Pros: you can do whatever you want w/o corkage fees and you can have their extra services too :)
Cons: for me they can still maximize their space for a picture perfect scene
Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Grace-Harbour-Pavilion-111940558836263/photos
Price Range: 25k for the venue they have their own packages too
Rating: It is a 4 for me

5. PORTICO DE BUSTO

located in Bustos Bulacan, the place is a gold for me, the white paint, the garden, the indoors, I loved it all the mirrors the high ceiling the pool the stairs hahaha if only, if only. the elegance of the place really took my breath away, its a show stopper a scene stealer it has been a dream, if can have another event I would really make sure that it would be this place.. it was a year ago when i first inquired to them but up until now if i will see their photos I still fall in love with it again <3
Pros: it would be really the best choice :)
Cons: the place is far
Web Site: http://www.porticodebusto.com/
Price Range: its not pricey at all just check their site 13k, 17k
Rating: definitely a 5

6. The Greenery

Is a Picture Perfect place that offers a wide variety of venues to chose from they offer a lot of things like for activities and all they have their own suppliers too, the greenery has its own style and collaborated with different types of gimmicks and picture or INSTAGRAM worthy photos..
It has been my lifelong dream to get married on this place ever since they put this up and saw it on the net, but my budget permits me not, hahaha if only i saved a lot for my wedding i could've afford it so i'm just planning to have my E-sesh here by that at least we we're able to step foot on this heaven in bulacan :)
Pros: a picture perfect place
Cons: pricey and far from area
Web site: thegreenery.ph
Price Range: 500k refer to the site :P
Rating: a 5 for me
Update: this is where our Pre-Nup taken photo ctto Carlo Driz photography.

other options are:

7. PATIO FLORENCIA
8. JARDENITA DE MARIA PAVILLION
9. ST JOSEPH HOUSE OF SERENITY


So there they all are in all of these places has their own story this actually is the toughest part of all but once you were able to choose your venue, everything will go down smoothly and easier, so for me and Eboy (h2b) we have to consider everything specially accessibility and the price, but at least it has the feels :)

the wedding would be in...

GRACE HARBOUR PAVILLION!!! <3 :)
it is near Meycauayan, it is affordable and has a large space, they have what we wanted the Garden area and the big gazebo with high ceilings and the drapey thingy.. the owners are very generous to let their renters to chose what ever suppliers they wanted and to experiment on it, they are easy to deal with and always online whenever you have queries they are there to answer.. it is a great deal for us so this would our special place on our BIG DAY coming real soon..
 hope this helps you in your decision my my dear B2B..
Happy preppy to all *kisses*
