Wedding Receptions in Zamboanga City

I had a really hard time planning for our wedding in Zamboanga City because not many information are posted on the internet regarding available receptions and caterers.

  2. II'm not sure if Dapitan City is also an option for you and if so, we've been to Bajamunde Farms Pension.

    1. Hi, unfortunately I don't know of any. I saw a shop just behind Ateneo de Zamboanga Colloge that does wedding planning. I failed to get its name. You may want to try and drop by. Thanks for reading and happy prepping :)
