Reception.. Check!

Ok. After booking the photographer, I moved on and started venue hunting na rin. I initially wanted my reception to be held somewhere near manila bay for a sunset wedding effect sana. We also thought of having our reception in a hotel but after requesting the latest wedding packages that hotels around the vicinity offers, we need to think  of another plan. I wanted Coconut Palace sana but then our wedding date falls on a month where the weather is still unpredictable. We cannot risk having it outside then rent some tents for plan B. No offensement to those having it on an open space, its just that for us talagang we don't want to panic about the weather.  So I want to have a garden feeling type of setup but rainfree.I have a couple of indoor garden venues in mind:

- Fernwoods
-Fernbrooks
-Gazebo Royale
-Glass Garden

Here are some of the pics of the Glass Garden from different website and sources .(sorry I forgot so I cannot credit the one who took the photos)

 

I am also very particular about the CR.  I want it to be always clean and mabango. 

 Among the four, I am eyeing the glass garden since I am from Antipolo and Don is from Pasig. So location wise, this has the advantage. The only downside is, there are limited churches to choose from but that's another topic. heehhe. So going back, I have emailed glass garden to inquire. Again, good thing our date was still open for reservation. I did not think twice and booked it without paying a visit first. I trusted their AE, Katrina, on what she thinks is best for us. We chose the Diamond Garden. Actually, the Diamond and Emerald are just the same size and same specs. Its just that I learned from a w@wie that if you want to hold your reception at noon, better have it in the Diamond. Also, this garden is very accessible to the guest as it is near the gate so madali sha makita.  When I went there for an ocular. I knew I did the right thing of booking them. From the manong guard up to the AE (Katrina) herself, they were all courteous and very accommodating. She toured me around the vicinity and explained what happens during a wedding. She even suggested several caterers who delivers very well during wedding functions. The events hall is beautiful by itself. What more if we spruce it up by adding some swags and mood lighting effects. hmmmm.. I can already see the look on my guests faces when they see the place. hahaha. (crossing my fingers). Till next update.:)
