I was reading Town \u0026amp; Country on my iPad in late 2014 when I chance upon a wedding article where Montecito Nuvali was the church and reception venue of the couple. I got interested in the chapel instantly. I knew right then that this may be \"the one.\" Unfortunately, there was very little information about it online, so it was tough for me to do my research without going all the way to Nuvali in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. This is also why I am doing a very lengthy post about it. I've been getting 2-3 e-mails and messages a week from brides and grooms about this charming place.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/abbiereal\/33946142721\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" nbsp=\"\" title=\"MDF_1678\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"MDF_1678\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/3\/2826\/33946142721_2042323924_z.jpg\" width=\"426\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nI fell in love with the place the minute I saw it, and it took very little to get the fiance on board. We were dead set from the very start that we would have our wedding in Montecito the first time we laid our eyes on it. We only visited two churches for our wedding, with \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.abbiereal.net\/2014\/12\/st-benedict-church-in-silang.html\"\u003ESt. Benedict Church in nearby Silang\u003C\/a\u003E as a backup. I am just happy that everything fell into place. The church is very intimate, the outdoor lawn is perfect for our dream garden reception, the location is prime \u0026amp; very exclusive, and it's located in Laguna, where Witt and I reside. Having our wedding in Montecito was the best and easiest wedding decision we ever had. Our guests seemed to agree because I heard nothing but praises for it (well, some complained about the distance, but - for us - it added to the appeal and exclusivity of the place).\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/abbiereal\/34078541885\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" nbsp=\"\" title=\"Our Lady of Guadalupe - Montecito Nuvali\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Our Lady of Guadalupe - Montecito Nuvali\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/3\/2875\/34078541885_0c35fb7ba8_c.jpg\" width=\"800\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EMontecito Village is co-owned and managed by Ayala Properties and the Yulos of Canlubang.

The chapel is exquisite, and you can do away with the elaborate flower arrangement. We opted for effortless aisle flowers and a couple of centerpieces on the altar. Putting too many flowers and decorations will take away the natural grandiose of the place. The ceiling is adorned with antique chandeliers and a charming loft for your choir or strings.

We had all our church requirements, parish interviews, and even the processing of our marriage contract through the church's office. The parish priest, Fr. Bob Roxas, was the one who did our Canonical Interview 2 months before our wedding, while our Pre-Cana seminar was with our own parish. We just submitted the certificates and other pre-wedding requirements days before the wedding. You should visit St. John Bosco 6-8 months before your wedding to get all the requirements and to schedule and arrange the seminars and interviews. You also have to tell them if you will ask one of their priests to officiate the wedding. In our case, we asked a family friend priest to celebrate our wedding. This would require additional requirements like the priest's license number.

This doesn't include the church requirement fees, which will be facilitated by St. John Bosco Parish in Sta. Rosa Estates in Laguna Technopark. We forked over an additional Php 10,000 for the marriage certificate, all wedding church requirements, canonical interview, \u0026nbsp;pre-cana seminar, and the wedding priest. We had our pre-cana in our parish, and we also asked our family friend to officiate the wedding, but there were no discounts on the rates even if we \"outsourced\" a lot of things.

You just need to coordinate with the admin office the time of your wedding and the ingress required for styling and flowers. Two (2) hours were given to us for the ingress.

I immediately liked the idea because it defines us and our personalities. We are homebodies who prefer indoors instead of going out for adventures.

I've been a very bad blogger. Been really busy with work but I TRY to put a little wedding planning and prep every now and then. Anyway - here's a long wedding update and review on K. By Cunanan.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nOne of our most important wedding suppliers is our caterer - K. By Cunanan. I am very happy with our choice of caterer and its also the very first supplier that we booked back it December. They are my ultimate non-negotiable.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nI was not really keen on getting them in the beginning. I was actually preparing a series of food tasting and meetings with prospective caterers (Albergus, Bizu, Mesclun, Passion Cooks, etc.). BUT our friend, \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.pattylaurel.com\/\"\u003EPatty Laurel-Filart\u003C\/a\u003E, suggested and recommended her wedding caterer to me. I checked them out, found very good food reviews from past wedding couples, and fell in love with their superb styling. Food is very important in any event. People will probably forget my wedding dress but they will never forget the banquet experience; so the guys who will cater for the wedding is very important to us.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nTrivia: We switched wedding dates from December 12 to December 18 because K. By Cunanan was already fully booked on the 12th.

By Cunanan. The first taste test is where you will meet your Account Manager, discuss wedding details, and try out K's popular dishes. The second food tasting is usually 2-3 months before the wedding. You'll be able to taste your selected menu from the first taste test or request for more dishes which were not included in the first one. The final styling and detailing will also be discussed in the meeting.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nOur initial food tasting was last May 12.

K offers a variety of hors d' oeuvres: fresh,\u0026nbsp;soup, wrap\/taco, fried, and on toast. We were served Bacon Wrapped Dates, Onion Soup with French Toast, and Chicken Tortilla with Arugula, and Carmelized Onion. The Bacon Wrapped Dates is a winner and we \u0026nbsp;will definitely include it in our menu. You can never go wrong with bacon! The Onion Soup is so-so and it was served in shot glasses which might be a hassle to some.
