Wedding Budget

ghosthunter,
That's not a bad deal. My wife should see this. I am hoping this is at least a Shangrila Hotel or it's equivalent? Any hotels I should look for?
TIA

hhmmm, there's just too many factors to consider to be able to give, even a ballpark figure. pero here are some of the basics

1. dresses - 20k - 150k (kung sagot mo buong entourage. i asked one of the not so famous wedding dress maker and their price is 60k for the whole entourage. i ended up paying for the relatives only, and gumastos ako ng 30k.

2. church - 2k - 8k (not so sure na)

3. reception - cheapest siguro kung sa bahay. kung sa resto o hotel, depende kung 5-star o 3 star. to be safe, 100k pwede na siguro.

4. misc stuff like flowers, video, etc... siguro eh ok na 30k.

so all in all, mga 300k.

the price depends heavily on who is going to do the dresses and how many. Also the material, lace, bead-work, etc. all goes to the price.

2. church - 2k - 8k (not so sure na)

The price range is around P15k to P30K for the church

3. reception - cheapest siguro kung sa bahay. kung sa resto o hotel, depende kung 5-star o 3 star. to be safe, 100k pwede na siguro.

Ahem! ... 100k??? for a 100 guest reception at a 5 star hotel, it will be P15K per table of 10. So thats already P150K not yet including drinks.

4. misc stuff like flowers, video, etc... siguro eh ok na 30k.

cake alone would cost P30K... Video/photo/photo album prices are package according to what is included and how it was mastered.

so all in all, mga 300k.

not even a close ball park figure...

Shangrila Hotel is one of the most expensive places you might want to hold a wedding reception. Madarin Oriental is priced better but has a smaller ballroom. Westin Philippine Plaza can give you the option of a garden reception and the prices are good... downside, they will not accept any reservations unless is 6 months away.

A good option is to have your reception catered and held at Intramuros... There is a restaurant there run and operated by Christina Gonzales (yup, the singer/actress/mother). Spanish yung atmosphere and good ambiance. Pricing depends on what you want included.

300k, i think is a pretty good estimate para sa isang, moderate kasalan.. kung gusto mong magarbo talaga, at ang reception eh sa coconut palace, plan 2x nito. i hv a friend na kinasal 2 years ago at sa coconut palace reception nila, almost 600k ginastos nila. reception alone is about 250k.
