I attended the wedding of my cousin at Fernbrook Gardens in Portofino South, New Alabang. I know little about wedding venues but this one was worth noting, remarkable and beyond ordinary.

Fernbrook will surely captivate guests with its fantasy like ambiance. Its greenhouse-like structure shows a unique contemporary architectural design. The overall theme of the venue is a mix of Western and Eastern cultural concepts. This place will surely be a hit for couples who dream of a uniquely themed wedding.

The reception followed at the Victorian Garden. This is just less than a minute walk from the garden where the ceremony took place. But with my aged yet glamorous as always Tita Precy holding tight in my arms, it took roughly 20 minutes to get to the place.

How the reception area is named speaks for itself - Victorian Garden -, having the experience of the Victorian Era, the period of dramatic change that brought England as a prominent center of world power and relocating the perceived center of Western Civilization.

Wedding trends have been showing that guests are caring more and more about the food. If the food is not that good, guests will talk about it. On the other hand, if it is great, guests will definitely remember it.

Its no secret that it plays a powerful role in drawing people to an event and keeping them there. Few aspects of a party can bring people of totally different backgrounds together more quickly than food. Whether it serves as a conversation starter or simply as a source of energy, one of the best ways to impress guests is a truly mouthwatering fare.

Food critique is expected in this blog entry but honestly I wasn't really focused on it during the entire evening. A bit pre-occupied exchanging familiarities with friends, relatives and acquaintances. I do assume that catering services are made by those accredited with Fernbrook management. I am guessing Hizon's. My personal preferences were the Thrice-Cooked Poek Belly with Mango Cilantro Salsa and Lemon Hoisin Sauce, 48 Hour Roasted Beef and the Stir-Fry Sambal Chicken with Prawn Chili Sauce. 

Meilleurs Voeux!!!
