a south secret : GCF

for Southern brides who wish to veer away from the usual hotels and country clubs, let me share with you one secret:

GREENHILLS CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP - SOUTH METRO

Strategically located along Daang Hari, GCF is right before Fernbrook Garndens. If you're coming from St. James the Great in Ayala Alabang, it's probably a 10-15 minute drive tops. James and I have been initially aiming for Bellevue, but with the number of guests that we plan to have, it was just impractical and it was too expensive. To be honest, I didnt really want to spend that kind of money.

So off I went on a hunt for more inexpensive place. Believe me I went through hell and back just to find a great place. There were actually a lot of venues near our church but none seemed to fit well with our requirements. They were either too broken down or a bit far from our church.

That was until I found GCF. It was a typical day and I was just browsing through my w@w emails and then one w@wie, Bonnie, suggested her venue to somebody else and I got curious. After an exchange of emails, I decided to check the place out. And there it was, the answer to my prayers. I actually had tears in my eyes when I saw the place for the first time.

GCF offers its airconditioned Worship Hall as a reception venue and it can easily fit about 300-400 people. The rent for the place includes the use of their professional sounds and liqhts equipment as well as a small room for your personal needs (it can serve as a courtesy room for kids or it can serve as your preps room where you can have your makeup retouched and your gown bustled up.) The fee also includes an LCD projector and screen. An added bonus to this place is that we can bring in caterer we want without caterer fees or corkages. yey!

All in all, after computing every single expense, we actually managed to save about P40,000. not bad, eh? I just feel so blessed that we were able to discover that place. It's also a big plus that the people there are just sooo nice. =) Anyway, here are some pictures (I'm telling you guys, it's HUGE.)
