About This Vendor

This church has become popular not only for the Filipino-Chinese community but also for couples who envision a bright and relaxed wedding ceremony.. The church exhibits a blue and white color scheme from its interiors to its altar and stained glass windows which exude an over-all tranquil vibe.

You might want to consider picking summer months when booking this Church since this place is situated between Xavier School and Immaculate Concepcion Academy. Summer season would significantly decrease onlookers because kids from the 2 exclusive schools will be on vacation. The wedding rate of Php 15,000.00 is only inclusive of flowers, red carpet and the priest's stipend. You might need to book your own singers and sound system suppliers because it is not included in the rate nor can be provided by the Church. You will be given one hour for the whole ceremony and anything beyond that time limit would incur a Php 300.00 penalty per minute.

For the fervent devotees of Mama Mary, this Church should be a priority if you do not mind a non-airconditioned church venue for your wedding ceremony on a hot summer day.

Wedding Rates

A DONATION of PhP 15,000.00 covers the Mass and wedding ceremony for a period of an hour and fifteen minutes, simple Church flower décor and a red carpet at the main aisle; it does not include Church airconditioning, music and the commentator and lectors at the Mass. The donation should be given at least a month before the wedding.

If the wedding does not exceed the allotted time, the initial donation is refunded in full after the wedding. If the wedding is cancelled by the couple, the initial donation is non-refundable.
