Just because you are tying the knot in the country’s capital doesn’t mean you can no longer be close to nature as you celebrate on your big day. Contrary to what some may think, there are quite a lot of picture-perfect garden wedding receptions in Manila that can even make you forget that you’re in the city. Many of them are close to nice churches, too, so you won’t have to worry about getting stuck in the traffic as you travel to your banquet’s venue.
Here are some of them:
1. Casa Manila Patio
Location: Real St., Intramuros, Manila
Contact: 2527-3135
This stone-floored courtyard is part of Casa Manila, a historical museum located at the Plaza San Luis Complex of Intramuros. Considered one of the most widely recognized venues in the walled city, it is surrounded by plants, some of which even crawl on the brick walls that enclose the Spanish-style venue. It also has an old fountain in the middle, which gives it a more regal look.
This location can accommodate up to 150 guests, so it is great for bigger alfresco wedding receptions. And while it is already jaw-dropping in the daytime, the venue becomes even prettier at night, especially as the lights dimly illuminate the impressive details of the courtyard itself and the centuries-old structures that surround it.

5. Paco Park

You won’t have to worry about the hot Manila weather as the chapel is fully airconditioned. Those who wish to get hitched here need to get in touch with the Vincentian fathers of Adamson University who are currently the ones managing the chapel.
