I thought it was just a catering service. Thanks for the tip. By the way, of that 66k wedding, what were in there? If I may ask.

 

mixed!

We provided the Lechon (3 x 3.000p) 9.000, Flowers 5.000p, Photos 3.000p, Wine etc 2.000p = 17.000p
Lindai's Catered, Venue (They own Palms and Pines) Table and Entrance Flowers =44.000p
Transport, favors, Legal costs = 5.000p

Cost;
17.000 (US)
44.000 (Lindai's)
5.000 (Various)
_______________
Total Cost 66.000p


I will add that Azon had also Dresses, (Bride and maids) = Hair Dresser, this was about 12.000.

All in all if you go down this road look at 100.000 as a fairly Good Guide today!

It really does depend on what you want. It is after all HER day! That Special day! :D


Hope all goes well my friend

Well you have to start somewhere, At least you know the top end, I am sure others will give their thoughts when they are up and about for the day.

Whew!

That much documents? Hmmm. I really need plenty of time for that. Not to mention the money.:D hehehe..... Thanks for the tips.

 

Don't be discouraged comparing a foreigner's wedding to what you can afford. My brother-in-law in the Santa Catalina mountains had a very nice and inexpensive wedding and reception. They had the wedding in a church then everyone went to a small home in the hills for lechon baboy, native chicken, rice, etc.. Everyone chipped in and helped out with the cost and cooking. I enjoyed the experience as much as he did when he came to my wedding. However, the paperwork is key and it appears never ending so give that priority and look into the cost of everything. There is a fee for everything. Good luck, persevere, ask for help from relatives and friends from both sides.

 

I'm planning something like that originally, but my girl wanted something elegant. And we know how much in an "elegant" worth today:D. But since this is a once in a lifetime experience, I will try to grant her wish.:o
