This is our first ocular visit. My sister Carla and his hubby Carlo together with their cute baby Nike accompanied us to this trip. It was fun! Although I must say after this trip we still did not have our final decision. Anyway here is the story of our pilgrimage to finding the perfect place!
What are we looking for?
Price should only be around 10-15K (all in!)
The Door!!! I want my "dramatic entrance" as a bride!
The church needs to allow toddlers as flower girls and ring bearers.
The aisle hopefully is long enough.
The church's interior and exterior should have the oomph factor! (whatever that means).
Near the venue for the reception.

Love it!
The church is located in Ayala Alabang Muntinlupa City. It is the church near ATC!! So there will be lots of parking space.The aisle is a bit short but the door as well as the altar is lovely. Vic and I liked it already but after hearing (and reading) the requirements we had a change of heart.

Deal Breakers...
They only allow 5 years old and up for flower girls, bible and ring bearers. We asked if they will allow it if we assign an adult for guides and they still said NO.
No Sleeveless! Gowns of the entourage with no sleeves should have shawls and then boleros for brides. The church WILL PROVIDE THEM for rent of P250 per piece.
No Showering of petals and other stuff inside and outside of the church. Charges for overtime use of the church is way too much. For 10-30mins is P2,625. Whew!

Love it!
I love the altar and we are happy to hear the rates!!!

Deal Breakers...
The length of the aisle is long enough but the aisle is a bit narrow. The mood inside is sad (says hubby) and I just cant get over the door. It can't be opened the way I want it to be. Sad.... Hubby said we might have a problem with the noise because it is near a school and we are planning to have our wedding on a Wednesday.

We also visited the Shrine of Jesus, Near Mall of Asia. All we can say is that it is a bit expensive. The wedding rates is P25K. The Altar and the exterior is very beautiful but the overall interior to us is mediocre for its price. Sorry but it is what we feel. The P25K includes the following;
- Eucharist Mass
- Basic Flower arrangement
- Red Carpet/Organist & Soloist
- Church Staff
Yes we visited 4 churches this day and we still have no final decision, although we promised ourselves to decide before November ends! Crossing our fingers!!!
