Our Church

Published : 6/09/2012
May simbahan na kami!

Last week, we were able to inquire at the St. Ignatius Cathedral inside Camp Aguinaldo and the church has everything we want...
  • air-conditioned
  • romantic lighting 
   ...the altar is directly beneath a dome where fingers of sunlight passes through a sun roof (and everything else is softly dimmed so may spotlight effect... very ethereal)
  • high ceiling
  • has a mezzanine 
   ...for bird's eye view shots sa photo ops
  • newly renovated
  • cheap (as in!)
  ...let's just say we were able to pull favors and the commanding chaplain is literally heaven-sent
  • intimate
   ...it being inside a military camp (less miron)
this is it!
St. Ignatius Cathedral
Kaya outright nagpa-book na kami. That's after knowing the house rules, requirements, and other pertinent info syempre. Sold na kami dito.

andami palang requirements
Up next, we checked the nearby AFP Commissioned Officers' Club (AFPCOC) where we intend to hold our reception. It's grandest function room - the Tejeros Hall - is humongous! With a seating capacity of 500 including tables, the theater type hall is more than what we want but definitely a must-pick if we can arrange for the price to be more reasonable.

Sobrang mura na yung rental ng place kung yung catering services ay kukunin from their accredited providers. The place does not need much decorating dahil ang ganda niya na as it is and the tiffany chairs are provided outright (sa ibang catering packages, may extra bayad ito... per head!).

Ang kaso, we are still looking at getting Queensland which is not accredited. Sobrang mahal kasi ng rental kapag outsider ang caterer so we're still not sure about it. Inaayos pa. In any case, we can always opt to get a venue anywhere within the area (Ortigas-Greenhills-White Plains-Cubao).

anlake!

    haha pwedeee!

    still working on the catering services. baka payagan naman kami eventually na kumuha ng outsider. pero kapag hindi, mukang sa mga village clubhouses sa paligid kami kukuha.

    was thinking west greenhills, kela garr. ganda nung place eh. :) kaso not sure kung magkano. have to ask him.

    hello! ang galing. nice choice, i say. hehe.

    we were able to book a different place for the reception though. pero sa loob din ng Camp. masyado kasi malaki yung Tejeros for us.

    good job on getting the approval. may military sponsor ba kayo? or you just went through the normal process? congrats!

    Hi there! We have the same church! though earlier ang wedding ko. :) Ask ko lang if may plans ka to add something para mas may surprise ang entrance mo sa church? kasi di ba glass door ang St. Ignatius? yun kasi yung iniisip ko, kung paano magiging dramatic ang entrance ko hehe :)

    Regarding sa church styling. di pa namin naiisip paano aayusin ang church. we'll consult pa our florist kung paano mapapaganda ang door ng church. :)
