Venue Hunting #2: LeBlanc Exclusive Resort

Thanks to my good friend for sending me the website of our next venue: LeBlanc Exclusive Resort in Antipolo. I  find the venue elegant and classy because it is all white! So again, i asked h2b to see the place and I thank him  for being so patient with me :)

Here are the photos that he took, when he went to LeBlanc last July.

The place looks good and elegant in the photos but I'm wondering if all of our guests can fit inside the hall. They said it can fill out upto 150 guests. I'm contemplating because i need to count also the number of suppliers that will go in and out of the hall, plus a space for the caterer, for our band, picture taking and performance area.. (yeah you read it performance! haha) and i find the ceiling very low. I wanted pa naman drapes on the ceiling! haha! 

Well, The garden part looks clean and good too. They suggested to put glass platform on top of the swimming pool to have more space for our garden ceremony. For the whole area they quoted us 40,000php originally it is 45,000php but since h2b attended the bridal fair in SM Masinag they give us 5,000php discount. Not bad, but there are add ons like if we want the platform and a tent outside, there will be an additional costs of 8,000php each. So venue + platform = 48,000php plus 10% corkage fee for outside caterer. They also offer lights and sounds and photo booths of course with additional costs. 

Well, I need to check this place personally, before we decide. I will go back for a holiday in PH next month. wheeew! Happy venue hunting to us! :)

Venue Hunting #1: Sweet Harmony Gardens

One of the important part in wedding preparation is finding the good venue for your special day. We chose Antipolo / Rizal area as our wedding location because we wanted a garden wedding and a place that is close to the city. Since I'm here in Singapore, I only search venues online and h2b is the one who do the occular.

The first venue that we checked is Sweet Harmony Garden, It is located in Taytay, Rizal. I fell in love with rooftop venue which they call it "Amazing Haven Above" I'm thinking that we can hold the ceremony on that area with overlooking views and a perfect sunset. Then the reception will follow at one of their indoor venues. For this venues, they quoted me: 12,500 php for Amazing Haven and 25,000php for Worship Garden. Total will be 37,500php. I asked h2b to see the venue.

This is the photo that he sent me when he checked the place last June

The top left photo and right photo is the Amazing Haven Above

while below photo is the Majestic Upper Room. 

The venue is good for 150 pax

H2b talked to the person in charge about the place and since I only want the venue there will be a corkage fee for the caterer that 15,000php which i find expensive plus 2,000php for the photographer. The corkage fees were almost half the price of the venue! and another thing, they do simultaneous events, As much as possible i wanted a place that holds one event per day. 

So next please :P
