[ladyscorpz]

---

Hi there mga istoryans!!!!

I am calling out to all istoryans nga nakasal pag 2010 to share their experiences sa ilang wedding venues...

This new thread is just to start the new year and to look back the YEAR that WAS. Most of the wedding venue topics kay before 2010 pa nag begin sa discussion and lengthy napud ang discussions...so why not we open up a new thread para updated ta sa mga wedding venues last year and to help other fellow istoryans...

Below are messages from our fellow istoryans and for privacy's sake dili lang nako e mention ila names.
To start with:

Alta Vista
nig gawas nimo sa bridge daghan kaau ka makita na barung2 na balay

Amara
Just hire a caterer
Amara has a wide space man the highlight is probably the Light house

Beverly view events pavilion

THE PORT ang mu provide sa food. lameh sad..

CASINO ESPANOL

Nice thread.

Naka book ko sa Cebu Northwinds. My wedding will be this coming August and I'm so excited.
I availed their Hassle-Free Package which is very cheap and presentable man sad if di lang jud mo maselan.
You can also customize their package. If you don't like their invitations and give-away samples, you can remove it
and deduct it from the total price of the package which I did kay simple ra kaau or should I say kinaraan ra kaau ilang invitation and giveaways nga designs. So far so good. Accommodating man sad ilang in-charge named Sarah.
I will update this thread soon with more information may it be good or bad hehehe

I go for Sarrosa...mas nice ang ambiance...check wedding photos sa sarrosa sa internet or even sa ilang website...


Sarrosa hotel was recommended by a tourist from California in tripadvisor website. "I just had my wedding reception there and everything was perfect. The staff and other employees were very accomodating. And by the way, their food taste pretty good too. I would totally recommend this hotel to other tourists or foreigners. I had the best wedding reception!!!"
