Churches For Wedding In Metro Manila, Philippines

If there’s one thing that millions of Filipinas have in common, it’s that they want to have the perfect wedding. This once in a lifetime moment is something that they’ll take with them for decades and one that they’ll share with future generations to come. Picking the church that’s “just right” for the special day takes months, even years, of planning. While most would choose to go for a church or cathedral out of town, sometimes it’s better to pick one in Metro Manila.

Why Metro Manila?

For one, you can save a lot of money if you decide to go with a church here in the metro. Transportation costs (this includes additional travel fees for the catering and other services) will be significantly lower and let’s face it, you’ll be dealing with wedding jitters as it is. No need to add the stress of long travel to it!

Another important reason is that so much beauty can be found in the churches of Metro Manila. Whether you go for the intimate Paco Chapel or the sprawling San Agustin church in Intramuros, you’re sure to find a venue that will suit you and your partner’s personalities.

Here is our list of the Top 10 Wedding Churches in Metro Manila, in no particular order:

Paco Park Chapel – Paco, Manila

Weddings don’t have to be crowded affairs. For small weddings reserved for your inner circle, Paco Chapel would be a fantastic choice. It’s in the center of Paco Park and nothing short of breathtaking. The chapel features minimalist interiors and a beautiful fountain waiting for you as well.

Address: Belen, Paco, Manila, Metro Manila
Telephone: (632) 525-7853, 524-2022 loc. 119

Malate Church – Malate, Manila

Many marrying couples choose Malate Church as it was built in honor of the patroness of childbirth, the Nuestra Señora de los Remedios. If you’re looking to start a family straight away, then this could be the church for you.

It’s known for its long aisle and baroque-style architecture. Remember that this is in Malate so it’ll be best to schedule the wedding in the morning so you can avoid the distractions of establishments outside.

Address: In front of Rajah Sulayman, Malate Manila
Phone Number: (+63 2) 400-5876, (+63 2) 400-5877, (+63 2) 523-2593

Binondo Church – Manila

While it’s formally called the Minor Basilica of San Lorenzo Ruiz, many know it as Binondo Church. If you’re having a large wedding, you’d do well to choose this venue as it can handle a very long guest list. One disadvantage it has is that it can be a bit noisy as it is in the heart of Binondo.

Address: Plaza L.Ruiz, Binondo 1006, Manila
Phone: (02) 242 4850

Manila Cathedral – Intramuros, Manila

If you’re a believer of true love being able to stand the test of time, then the Manila Cathedral may be right for you. Like other wedding venues situated in the heart of historic Intramuros, you can’t help but feel hopeful when you’re inside the cathedral. While air-conditioning is available, the package costs much more than if you went without. Take this as an opportunity to give elegant fans as wedding giveaways so you can shoot two birds with one stone!

Address: Cabildo corner Beaterio, Intramuros, Manila, Metro Manila 1002
Phone: (02) 527 3093

San Agustin Church – Intramuros, Manila

Dream weddings vary from person to person, but there’s something about the San Agustin Church that makes it a favorite. Some say it’s the magnificent trompe l’oeil painting adorning the ceiling. Others favor the intricate structure and design of the church itself. There’s no shortage of reasons to love this church, so make sure to book early because of its immense popularity!

Address: Gen. Luna St, Manila, Metro Manila
Phone: (02) 527 4060

San Sebastian Church – Quiapo, Manila

Churches are traditionally made of stone, but the San Sebastian Church is unique as it’s made entirely of steel. Travel back in time where Gothic architecture and renaissance paintings were the norm as the church boasts ornate stained glass windows and gorgeous ornaments.

Address: Plaza del Carmen, Quiapo, Manila
Telephone: (632) 734 8931

Santuario de San Jose – Greenhills, Mandaluyong

If the future bride and groom prefer peace and serenity above everything else, they will fall in love with the Santuario de San Jose. It earns glowing reviews from several couples due to the great staff at the church. Expert cooperation from church personnel is one underrated factor that most couples forget to consider. It will also definitely be a quiet venue as it’s far from a public street.

Address: Buffalo corner Duke Streets, East Greenhills, Mandaluyong, Metro Manila
Telephone: (02) 725-2044

Santuario de San Antonio – Forbes Park, Makati

If a church could exude quiet elegance, it would be the Santuario de San Antonio. Located along McKinley Road in the exclusive subdivision of Forbes Park, this is an ideal venue for a simple wedding that has plenty of charm to spare. If you’re not a parishioner, you should take note that there are different schedules available compared to parishioners. It’s slightly less expensive for the latter as well.

Address: Narra Ave, Manila, Metro Manila
Phone:(02) 771 0771

Christ the King Church – Green Meadows, Mandaluyong

Not all churches look the same and one that distinctly breaks away from the mold is the Christ the King church in Mandaluyong. It’s famous for its pyramid-like shape and large clear glass walls that allow for great natural light. It’s also a great choice for big weddings!

Address: Greenmeadows Avenue, Quezon City, Metro Manila
Telephone number: 633-0280

San Beda Chapel – San Miguel, Manila

There’s something about nostalgia and sentiment that makes a wedding extra special. If you’re a Bedan, imagine how wonderful it would be to wed your college sweetheart in the chapel where the both of you shared so many memories? Even if you’re not alumni, you’re sure to appreciate the gorgeous painted ceiling as you walk the aisle.

Address: San Miguel, Manila, Metro Manila
