THE RECEPTION: ALPADI ESTATE
Once upon a time, I was looking for a vintage looking garden for our reception and my former coworker, Ria told me about Alpadi Estate. Ria said it was also in Antipolo. I browsed the web and saw beautiful photos of the place. I also got the contact details and scheduled a visit. We actually considered getting married here, but opted for a church wedding later on. It was love at first sight. That very moment, I knew I wanted this place to be a part of my wedding.
Alpadi Estate is along Sumulong Highway in Antipolo, just before Padi’s Point if you’re coming from Manila.
Here are a few photos that I took when we visited.

After only thirty minutes of going around the venue, we booked it. Their rate for a five-hour event is Php30,000. Ingress and egress are free of charge. They only asked for a 10% downpayment so we gave them Php3,000. The remaining balance would be paid on the day itself. I got their contact details through their website, http://alpadi.blogspot.com/.
