Most people would contest that Fernbrook Gardens should be included in the Visita Iglesia section of my blog because regular church services are conducted in its chapel which is also known as Notre Dame de Vie Chapel.

Fernbrook Gardens has its own chapel but the chapel is just a small part of its venue. Overall, this place is more of a venue, than a pilgrimage site.

Issues aside, Fernbrook Gardens would surely captivate visitors with its fantasy-like ambiance. Its greenhouse-like structure shows a unique contemporary architectural design. Aside from that the overall theme of the venue is a mix of Western and Eastern cultural concepts. Fernbrook Gardens would surely be a hit for couples who dream of a uniquely themed wedding.

If the venue already captivated you in the morning, wait until you see it at night. The venue seemed to be pulled right out of a fairy tale book. Hundreds of different colored LED lights to give their trees and displays a new life.

It's no wonder why several Filipino celebrities chose Fernbrook Gardens as the venue for their wedding.

Being a mere 15 to 20-minute drive from my house, the place is literally just around the corner. Like most first time visitors, I too quickly fell for its charms. My wife and I actually planned to get married in Fernbrook Gardens, however, due to conflict in schedules, we had to look for another venue.
The place is also a great backdrop for prenuptial pictures

If you're planning to tie your knots in Fernbrook Gardens. I suggest that you book very early to avoid the same problems that we encountered. I guarantee you that the venue is really worth your money.

    Hi Neil, Thanks for your blog. During my visit to Laoag, Vigan & Pagudpud. I was so confused to determine an itinerary for 4days 3 nights. You mentioned to Kuya Jomar Villaluz for tour in Laoag. The price was P800 is it covering all the interest places in Laoag or only some of them. Please Let me know. As I am from Indonesia. I am Anne.

      Hi anne. Since you're planning to stay for 4 days and 3 nights, I suggest that you try out the itineraries for Vigan for day 1 and night 1 Budget P1000. Then proceed to Laoag and Paoay for Day 2 Budget P1000, Try to spend night 2 in Pagudpod and day 3 touring the whole of Pagudpod. The remaining day and night is your rest day. =)

      Hi Mel, The best way to visit Fernbrooks is to ride a van from MOA heading to SM Molino. From there ride a multicab tell the conductor to drop you off at the intersection going to Fernbrooks. Let me warn you though. You have to walk almost 500 meters going to your destination from the intersection. =)

      Ride a van going to Alabang.
      When you're in Alabang, walk to South Station and ride a multi cab / P2P going to SM Molino. Tell the conductor / driver to drop you off at Evia. From there, you have to walk to Fernbrooks Gardens / Palazzo Verde.
