Shrine of Saint Therese of the Child Jesus Wedding Rates 2025

It was 11 years ago when Me ang My-Beloved-Wife tied the knot in the Shrine of Saint Therese of the Child Jesus. It was a beatiful moment for us that we will cherish until the end of our lives.

I am sure that many couples are also looking at the Shrine of St. Therese of the Child Jesus as the venue for their wedding. One question that pops up their minds is how much is the rate for weddings at the Shrine this year (2025).

Well, here is the answer to that question that I got directly from the administrators of the Shrine of St. Therese of the Child Jesus:

Wedding Rates:

1. Tuesday to Saturday: 45,000.00 Pesos

2. Sunday: 47,000.00 Pesos 


The above wedding rate has the following inclusions: 

1. Air condition in the Shrine during the whole duration of the wedding ceremony

2. Priest

3. Commentator


Please note there is no wedding on Mondays as it is the rest day or day off of Shrine staff.

Also, there is no online transactions so couples have to go to the Shrine of St. Therese of the Child Jesus personally to book their wedding.

Pencil booking is not allowed. Those who want to block out a date should pay the reservation fee of 5,000 Pesos. This fee is non-refundable but will be deducted from the Wedding Rate.

Decorations such as flowers along the aisle are not included in the Wedding Rate. Decorations and flowers in the Shrine of St. Therese of the Child Jesus is exclusively provided by Little Way Flower Shop.

The church choir (wedding singers and musicians) are also not included in the wedding rate and should be booked separately for 2,000 Pesos.

If you have other questions then you should contact the Shrine of St. Therese of the Child Jesus by emailing them at stthereseshrine1983@gmail.com

Wedding Prep: A Look at St. Peter's Church

As I had said in the previous post, I considered St. Peter's Parish Church located along Commonwealth Avenue (Quezon City) as our church for our wedding. Thus, I made a sort of "reconnaissance" to see if this church will fit our wedding requirements.

I witnessed a wedding ceremony in this church. This allowed me to glimpse on how St. Peter's Parish Church is arranged for weddings.

St. Peter's Parish Church was officially named as Shrine of Leaders because it is dedicated to the popes, specifically to Apostle Peter the first Pope. Thus, its altar is a copy of the altar of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

Altar of St. Peter's Parish Church

What I like with this altar is the image of the crucified Christ at the center. The twisted beanstalk-looking posts look good too. What’s disappointing, however, is that the tabernacle was placed at the side. Its rightful place is at the center because it is where the body of Christ is stored.

The space in front of the altar is big enough and can hold numerous ninongs and ninangs. The painting of the blue sky and the white ceiling also adds beauty to wedding photos.

The dome also looks good. It is as if the Holy Spirit is really descending from the heavens.

Door of St. Peter's Parish Church

The door of St. Peter’s Church depicts a scene from the Bible where our Lord gave the keys of the kingdom of Heaven to Peter (Matthew 16:19).

St. Peter’s Church uses red carpet for weddings. Flowers are hanged at the side of the pews. I think that flower pillars may be placed but should be supplied by the florist, which means additional cost for the groom and bride.

The priest’s homily during the wedding ceremony that I witnessed is actually good. I’m not sure with the other priests though.

The nearest venue for wedding reception is King Bee restaurant, located just across St. Peter’s Church. Those who want a more classy reception venue may consider Blue Gardens, which is also near St. Peter’s Church. More info may be obtained from the Blue Gardens’ blog.
