Hillcreek Gardens Rooms Pavilion Gardens

By | Bridal, Green, Travel | One Comment

Heart2Heart super loves this new discovery in Alfonso, Cavite! 

Here is the manager and owner of Hillcreek, Maryliz.  This is what is keeping her busy nowadays.  She is very hands on and is on top of every function in the place.  

Maryliz told me that her Mom, Tita Baby Lirio, loves gardening which explains the beautiful gardens inside Hillcreek

As you enter you will see this bridge.

A lot of couples have their bridal pictorial here 🙂

The main lobby which is also where the hotel is located

A mini cooper which bridal couples rent as their bridal car 🙂  

Aside from this being formerly the private home of Maryliz and her family,  it used to be a coffee farm and you will still see coffee trees around

I love the feeling of this spot as you enter the lobby.  It feels like a villa in Europe 🙂  

The stairs leading to the main house of Maryliz family

Leading to the main Garden

I love the sculptures around the place 

Love! 🙂  Take note of the giant Christmas pine trees.  This is a work of love by the Mom of Maryliz – she really takes care of her garden.  And it was when a family wedding was held here that someone suggested that they should open this garden to the public 

Here are some photos of some of the wedding set ups 

There is another entrance to the garden and it has a separate driveway and entrance for cars

Diego – Bautista Wedding Reception

By | Bridal | No Comments

We attended an exquisite wedding of the sister of our good friend, Jeanne.  It’s nice when there’s a family event that she always allocates a table for her friends and we are always included 🙂  


Love the mini lampshades 

Cocktails before entering the ballroom

Congratulations John and Jennie

Loved the decorations in the reception

Our group with Tito Frank and Tita Mila who were Principal sponsors for the couple

Presidential table

Our table

A surprise flash mob dance for the couple!!!! We were wondering why there were two guys who were not part of the group sitting in the table.  Apparently the dancers were planted in different tables.  Then the entourage and some friends danced in front!  Watch the video

DasBea Wedding Banquet

By | Bridal, Foodie | No Comments

The reception was catered by Gaita Fores.   They served Filipino food to go with the theme.  There were some additional food like the Castañas booth, puto bungbung and bibingka booth, and some food from Vargas Kitchen.  Gaita always has some new details in her work – the Whiskey fountain was a first, the handwritten name tags hanging on the chairs and the food labels with her handwriting were beautiful with ribbons hanging from them

So so beautiful!!!!!  I am so glad I can take photos to share them all because you cannot really describe such details by just writing.  I see a lot of touches of Tita Nena and Hindy in the set up of the reception 🙂
