Reception Hunting..

Since we booked the Church yesterday, our itinerary for today is to hunt for the possible reception.  Caleruega receptions is a no-no since we know "masyadong madameng restrictions" when we'll be having a party within the premises of the Church. (mahaharot kasi kame..hahaha!) 

Nung nagsearch ako online, one venue that captured my heart is Rosemont Gardens, aside from it being near Caleruega, it also has a nice view of Taal!  Affordable din yung rates nya.  I requested Kim that we do an ocular sa venue. (Ooops! before I forget..one should need a permission sa owner to do an ocular here.. :))

When we arrived sa Rosemont, akala ko simple lang sya, antaas kasi ng gate.  Nung pumasok kame..nakapukaw ng attention ko yung steep na daan pababa..nasabihan na ako na steep ang daan dito pero hindi ko naexpect na ganun siya ka-steep!hahaha..bumawi naman sa steepness ang flowers sa daanan! :)

We went to see the house first..hehehe..It was cozy and nakakatuwa, nag-argue pa kame ni Kim on who's gonna sleep sa bridal suite!haha.. (Siyempre, ako panalo!hahaha!) Sa sobrang gusto ko yung inside ng house...hindi ako nakapagpicture!hahaha! :)

View of the house from the Gate.  See how STEEP is steep? :)

The Driveway...After ng steep pababa.. :)

The indoor venue. 

The Gazebo

After seeing the Gazebo.  Kim went to the garden to check it out. 

 Dito palang, "this is it" moment na! I saw Kim fell in love with the place as he explore the gardens.  Moment nya yun kaya hinayaan ko siyang magikot.. Akala ko aabot na siya sa Taal kakaikot..hahaha! :)

The view of Taal from the indoor venue.  Nice view for photo - ops! :) 

View from the Bridal Suite.. :)

Pauwi na kame..see ? steep talaga! Sana Ganito pa din ang feel ng place come 2014. :)

So that's it!  We didn't go to the other reception venues that I listed since Kim and I really fell in love with the place! Really a "this is it" moment for us! :)

We hope to book this place soon! :)
