Since, wala talaga kaming budget.. one thing na makakatipid samin is to minimize Guest.
Things to Consider:
Church/Beach wedding
1. Venue at Zambales - with the whole family of Sugue-Rostrata... parang out of budget agad. Not to mentions the whole barangay hehe
Ceremony - San Agustin Church
Reception - Ti umoc Beach Resort 78k
Flowers -
Transpo & Accommodation for Jhe's Family and our friends - dito medyo mahal. 6 hrs drive from Manila, 4 hrs from Pampanga.
2. Venue at Subic/Olongapo - pwede. Actually may nakita akong offer from Maranatha Events na 85 k for LIGHT COMPLETE PACKAGE. I-upgrade na lang for buffet at photo albums = 100k
http://maranathaevents.wordpress.com/2011/09/10/complete-wedding-package-php85000-00/
Ceremony - beach resort
Reception - beach resort
Flowers -
Transpo & Accommodation for Dian's & Jhe's Family and our friends - dito medyo mapapamahal. 4 hrs drive from Manila, 2 hrs from Pampanga, 2 hrs from Zambales
3. Venue at Bataan
Out of budget, kasi 1,200++ per head with minimum 100 pax
Ceremony - Bataan White Corals Beach Resort
Reception - Bataan White Corals Beach Resort
Flowers -
Transpo & Accommodation for Dian's & Jhe's Family and our friends - dito medyo mapapamahal. 2-3 hrs drive from Manila, less than 1 hrs from Pampanga, 4 hrs from Zambales
4. Venue at Tagaytay
Finally, malayo pero pwede na...
Ceremony - Chapel on the hill Batulao (reserved 6 June 12)
Reception - tagaytay
Flowers -
Transpo & Accommodation for Dian's & Jhe's Family and our friends -
dian's family stay @ Dasma
jhe's family can travel in the morning. Some with have accommodation.
Other guest can travel - 1.5-2 hrs from Manila. Entourage with accommodation.
With regards to limited budget, we have to consider for other places. Limited budget means limited visitor. We estimated 100-150 pax.
In between of Iba Zambales (my home town) and Lubao Pampanga (Jhe’s home town) is Olongapo or Subic. I have to start my researching again…
I went to Iba Zambales - my home town to inform my mother regarding the wedding plan.
She's excited. Actually, earlier she’s pushing me to wed Jhe (currently 8 year relationship – total of 99 months together). To her excitement, she went asking for requirements to our relatives.
Sunday morning (Mar 11, 2012), we went to San Agustin Church to reserve the date and ask for church requirement.
After lunch, we scout to beach resort near our place for reception venue and accommodation.
1. White Sand Beach – one of our relatives resort. It’ll be affordable for me but we have to look for a better & bigger place.
2. Herra Beach Resort – a little bit expensive because an entrance fee is required. The venue for reception is small.
3. Ti-umoc Beach Resort – at first, we were inhibited to ask. But when we enter the gate, I felt that the place is “right” for the event were planning. Spacious open space, I already visualize the location of tent, chair & tables, the buffet area etc. We negotiate for the rate and come up to two options
a. Reception venue + Catering + Tents + chairs & table + decoration + sound system + accommodation = 70k +
b. Reception venue (100/head entrance fee) + accommodation = 33k
I have to inform Jhe regarding the rate & show him the photos. But as for me, I have my Reception venue :)
Somewhere in the middle of our relationship..
We planned to get marry in December 12, 2012.

January 2012
We started to save for the special event on December.
I know it’s late, so our budget will be very limited.
(We both enjoy nature, so the past 2009-2011, we have monthly CLIMBS and sometimes out-of-town trips) This is the major reason for starting the investments late.
