“It’s your wedding ceremony and you deserve to have the kind of ceremony you’ve always wanted”
Choosing the ceremony venue that will be perfect for your plan requires a lot of examining different factors. If you and your fiancée had a religious upbringing, then getting married in a church will definitely be your first choice. Although many wedding ceremonies are also done in locations such as: banquet facilities, country clubs and beachside. In this article we will showcase the beauty of three churches within the city where you can have and hold you wedding ceremony according to what you think is best for your needs.
Here are a few testimonials from couples who’ve had their wedding in these featured churches:
The Wedding at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral
Both Ryan and Jennifer Alfabeto had a love for heritage-style architecture, so when they entered the Cathedral, the pair knew right away they had found the venue for their ceremony. “It looked perfect” Jennifer explains. “We’ve always wanted to get married in a Cathedral, in all its grand splendor and heritage-style architecture.”
The Wedding at the Sacred Heart Parish Church
Adrian and Gilda Mabatid chose Sacred Heart because of its accessibility to everybody and to their reception venue most especially. It also has a very spacious aisle, well-lighted and well-ventilated. “It is where all my sisters had their wedding too!” gushes Gilda. “It has always been the Sacred Heart Parish for me and my sisters!”
The Redemptorist Parish church is also a very accessible ceremony venue. It is also spacious and well-ventilated. Its architectural structure is also splendid especially for those who plan to have a grand wedding ceremony and a bride who wants to have a long walk-down-the-aisle.
Each site has its own set of benefits and drawback, but here are general questions to ask for starters: How far is my church from my reception? If your ceremony and reception locations are too far from each other, it can result in guests attending the ceremony but skipping out on your reception or getting stuck in traffic on the way to your reception. What time is ideal? Is there enough room for my guests to be seated? Is there ample parking space? Is there any nearby traffic that could add unwanted noise? Being aware in advance about these concerns will help you select the best option for your ceremony venue.
Like many other soon-to wed couple, bride and groom may be looking for something different to say and do at the altar, either in an alternative to the traditional wedding ceremony. But one factor is to know the Parish restrictions and rules. It’s better to seek an advice from the Parish officials.
After a lengthy search for churches with those considerations in mind what really matters is the emotion that’s present on your wedding day. Some may have it grand, others may do it simple. Some chose to be different, others chose to follow tradition. Either way the blessings from God, from family members and friends who are present in the celebration of your commitment to each other is what truly matters.
