yesterday, we went around the alabang area to find a venue for our reception next year. we got to visit the alabang country club, the palms country club and vivere suites.
the ACC wasn't that impressive in terms of its architecture and layout. but what attracted us to it was that they do not have these packages for weddings that tie you to their exclusive supplier. it is good in a way because you can get the supplier you want without any conflicts with the venue. BUT it's a bit of a hassle since you have to contact them on your own and coordinate them all for the big day.
we couldn't say much about the PCC. we were speechless! the place was in itself very impressive since it sat on a hill which overlooked part of the alabang area. one hitch though was their package that required us to spend 200K minimum for an evening wedding reception at their place. that was a bit steep and way beyond our budget. 
as for vivere suites, we found the place to be real cozy and intimate though their facade didn't say much, just like what every other hotel is. they also had these packages but they didn't require you to spend any minimum amount. we got the chance to peek into an already made up reception before the wedded couple got there and we found it good enough. the ballroom's size for us was okay since we arent expecting a huge crowd. since we want it to be an intimate gathering, it was just the size we needed. 
i guess it's now between the PCC or vivere suites. i'm leaving that all up to joseph. i'm cool with either one of them so any one is real okay with me. it's finally taking shape! i'm really enjoying this. i can get used to this!

tonight we'll be going to the w@w christmas party at gazebo royale in quezon city. i expect it'll be fun since there are so many things lined up for the event. to mention a few, they'll be hosting a free pre-nuptial pictorials for the couples and there'll be 10 photographers taking the pictures. we signed up for this. freebie eh! there's also going to be a rafle and an auction. dinner will be sponsored by auffrance and hizon's catering, if i'm not mistaken. pretty neat huh?
********************
after the party, we'll be meeting up with girlie (a real good friend) and eric (her fiance). this is nice because we finally get to meet as engaged couples. joseph has never met them before so he is also looking forward to this little get-together.
