    depends on a lot of things. Church fees can be as low as P500, plus and additional P200 per witness. or it can be as high as P50,000 for those really old Churches (e.g., San Agustin Church in intramuros).

    photographers - some charge as little as P20,000, while others charge as high as P100,000. your cake can be as cheap as P1,000, but the really big and intricate ones can cost as much as P40,000. you'll also have to look for the bride's gown - you can get some for rent, or have one made by big cotoure names for as much as a million pesos. you could have your wedding reception at a simple outdoor restaurant that will cost you just about nothing, or you could have it at a fancy hotel that charges as much as P1,000 per head of your guests. you'll also have to think about flowers, videographers, wedding coordinators, center-pieces, caterers, lechon (no wedding reception would be complete without one), drinks (lots and lots of drinks - you might have to go open bar), guests, invitations, etc, etc, etc.

    basically, you could have a wedding for as little as nothing, and you could have it for as much as millions of pesos. my wedding three years ago in davao city set me back by P300,000, and it was pretty ok. at the end of the day though, you'll have to do a whole lot of canvassing and preparing on your own.

    good luck!

    i don't know if you mean the total cost but like everything in the Philippines, you can either go really cheap or really expensive.

    neighborhood churches can cost as low as P500 and as high as P25,000 for well-known churches (Christ the King, San Agustin Cathedral) and that's for the service alone

    wedding gowns can come off the rack for as low as P3000 or can be made-to-order for as high as P75000

    same goes for the entourage clothes

    food is dependent on how many guests you'll have. you also have to feed your crew of singers/bands/emcee...whatever...

    other costs include invitations, videography, photography, token gifts for the entourage and witnesses, flowers, donation to the church, hotel rooms for the bridal party to prepare, bridal car, reception venue...that's as far as I can remember

    Source(s): got married last year. Less than P200K for 180 guests. Church and reception venues were at Ortigas Center. it takes really good planning.

    the cost vary widely, you can do it for about 100.000 on the cheap, to millions for the starlets and celebrities.

    it depends where you wanna get married. is it a church in a dense city? last i checked, makati/alabang/tagaytay churches cost about 15k-20k.
