Perfect wedding venue

MANILA, Philippines - Patio Victoria, the ideal setting for the perfect wedding, makes it easier for a bride to make her dream wedding come true.

It’s owned by Cristina Gonzalez-Romualdez, former actress, councilor and wife of Tacloban City Mayor Alfred Romualdez. Although she’s  a busy mom and politician, Cristina visits Patio Victoria once a week to oversee the needs of her staff and clients.

Patio Victoria has an Old World charm found only in the “Walled City” of Intramuros: cobblestone walkways, an antique wooden gate, lush foliage and an old-fashioned fountain.

It has two gardens named after Cristina’s daughters, Sofia and Diana, and an air-conditioned banquet hall. All three venues can accommodate 1,000 guests. Both gardens have gazebos and covered area on the side to protect guests from the sun and light showers. In case of heavy rains, the reception can move to the air-conditioned banquet room.

Patio Victoria is a one-stop shop for brides who want a beautiful yet fuss-free wedding. It offers bridal bouquets and flowers for the entourage, church flowers, wedding cake, souvenirs, invitations, make-up artists, bridal car, photo and video, butterflies, string quartet, live band or singers, emcee and wedding coordinator.

Wedding package includes use of venue for four hours, various menus, bottomless ice tea, gazebo, three tiered fondant cake, cake table with floral arrangement and skirting, torch parade or sword parade for the couple’s grand entrance or cake cutting ceremony, a bottle of champagne for ceremonial toast, decorated dove cage (with doves), guest book, photographic tarpaulin, complimentary use of Cristina executive suite, red carpet, flower arrangement for buffet and table, tiffany chairs with ribbons for guests, skirting for presidential tables, location map, chocolate fountain, mobile system, free food tasting for two, and reception coordination for the function proper.
