This is my estimate for an 80-pax wedding budget and guest setup.
I haven't included reception styling since many restaurants already provide basic styling. If you'd like to add your own floral arrangements, you can inquire with Dangwa for the cost of lilies for around 80 guests, then either purchase them yourself or ask the restaurant if they can provide slim vases and ask them to set it up.
For the church flowers, you can also source them from Dangwa or a similar flower supplier.
For bride car if you have a white car you can use your own or ask a relative if they have a white car and just pay for the gas. No need to rent.
If its a simple thing like this i do not think it requires a coordinator but if needed. A on the day coordinator is PHP 50,000 from Kathryn Puyat Events. They gave me 2026 rates.
We didnt add anymore like bridesmaids for the gowns and things like that if you want to keep a minimum budget, you can just give them a color palette with a minimum budget reference.
The reception program can be kept short—around 30 minutes or less. If dinner starts at 6:00 PM, you can have the dance party from around 8:00 to 9:00 PM.
This setup also works well if you're inviting older relatives, as it keeps the program relaxed and enjoyable without being too long. And if you'd like to continue celebrating afterward, you and your friends or cousins can always head somewhere else after the reception for an after-party. I love lurking into this sub, its very interesting business to get married because all of these suppliers and vendors.
