A month ago, we decided to look for options for our home after the wedding. We've visited some villages and checked their model houses. And today was nothing far from this activity.
Right after lunch, we went house-tripping in one of the newly opened villages in my hometown. Unfortunately, the tripping ended early as we were both in agreement that we did not like the place and that there were no model houses to show - apparently, their model houses were located in their other project in Molino, Bacoor. So after this mis-tripping, we immediately returned home decided to just watch movies all afternoon. Or so we thought...
The moment we opened the gates, my mom told us that my Tita's friend just came home from a house-tripping in Lancaster Estates. Immediately Tita Ess (my Tita's friend) came up to us and volunteered to come drive for us to Lancaster. Of course we agreed - I mean, who would turn down an offer to drive for us? :)
While we there, we looked at all the model houses and took note of the price range for the ones we liked. After looking around, Ron's friend who was an agent came up to us to discuss the details for the houses. At the same time, Tita Ess left us as she needed to run some errands.
We proceeded to the clubhouse lobby to discuss the houses. During which, I noticed the dramatic lights in the lobby. Instantly, I looked around to check the place while Ron was busy listening to the offer. Going back to discuss the offer, we both agreed that we need more options for the house, and more time to think it through. After turning it down, I quickly asked about the clubhouse. The lady with Ron's friend was kind enough to go the admin office and get us a copy of the rates.
While waiting for her, we checked the function room in the 2nd floor and the ballroom hall in the 3rd floor. We knew right away, that it was either the lobby or the ballroom that could fit a 200 guest list.

Coming back to the lobby, the lady gave us the rates and browsing the paper, we immediately saw that the price is within our possible budget for the venue in case we decided to have a different supplier for the venue and the caterer. But having a limited budget for the wedding, we knew we needed to wait it out and find ourselves a caterer before booking the venue. Plus, we wanted the opinions of our families before we pick the place.
At the end of it, I was just happy to have found an alternative to Island Cove. :)
