As a Christian guesthouse facility, all adult guests staying overnight must be Christians.

Yes, you can have them attend, provided that they understand and will follow our good conduct requirements, namely, no smoking, no drinking, no vandalizing of our property, and no swearing while on or immediately outside our property.

Documented violation of our good conduct requirements by your guests will result in the appropriate penalty.

Use of 40 large monoblock chairs (with arms) and 6 plastic tables is included. All other furniture, especially cottage furniture, is not to be used and should remain in our cottages.
So that our items are not misplaced or damaged, we do not have buckets, extension cords, or other miscellaneous items available for your or your suppliers use. We do have rags for cleaning up accidents, but these must be left at our facility in our provided baskets.

Prices, terms, and conditions are subject to change without prior notice.

Once we have approved you and scheduled a date, a 50% deposit is required. The remainder, along with the security deposit, is required the day before your wedding.

The deposit is non-refundable within 7 calendar days of event. If event is cancelled prior to that, 50% of the deposit will be kept for booking and administration fees.

Yes, there is. A security deposit of P10,000.00 is required and must be paid in full the day prior to your wedding. Any additional charge, damage, or loss to property, equipment, fixtures, and storage fee for unclaimed catering materials/equipment/garbage shall be charged to the security deposit. If the damage is more than the security deposit, the client will have to pay for the additional charges. Your entire security deposit will be given back to you provided no damage has been done. The full amount or the remainder is refundable within five (5) days after the event.

Absolutely no smoking (by guests or suppliers) and no alcohol (except for 1 bottle of wine for couple’s toast) is allowed on Doane Rest property or outside our gate. Violation of this policy will result in a P5,000 charge to be taken from security deposit, along with permanent blacklisting from Doane Rest.

We have signs posted on our gate regarding smoking not being allowed, and it is your responsibility to make sure your guests and suppliers are informed of these rules. This is why we recommend using our approved suppliers who are already familiar with our rules.

For security, we do have two trained German Shepherds. As such, we cannot allow your pets here. Please talk with us if you or any of your invited guests have a service animal.

Music for your wedding and during setup and cleanup must be clean, obscenity free music. If you have questions about music, please let us know.

Throughout the week, Doane Rest is available for events from Monday to Saturday. During the year, Doane Rest is unavailable for weddings following the 14th of December until January 7th, Holy Week, All Saint’s Day, and other times regularly scheduled by other guests.

Once you have reserved your date through payment of a deposit, you may visit a maximum of 5 times before the event. Visits may be scheduled Monday to Saturday, 8am to 5pm, depending on availability, and each visit can be two hours at maximum. Please bear this in mind and arrange to have multiple suppliers visit at the same time to maximize your visits.

Doane Rest is meant to be available for more intimate events. You can enjoy your time more if the number of guests is limited based on our place. For additional guests over 80, we ask for a donation of P1,000 per each additional person.

Additionally, please note our Meeting Hall can only accommodate up to 50 people. To this end, we will soon have a tent available to ensure you can have your wedding outdoors, rain or shine.

We understand that a lot of preparation goes into weddings. Still, we want to make sure the most people can enjoy our facility. If you need more time for setup, for your event, or for tear-down, we will ask for an additional P500 an hour.

Suppliers may setup between 8am-9pm the prior day, or the day of event starting at 8am. Cleanup can only be done until 9pm at the latest.

Use of approved suppliers/vendors is encouraged as they know the facilities the best and how to maximize the time.

Yes, you may. For 3 hours, we ask for a donation of P1,000. If you’d like to do your pre-nuptial photoshoot only, please talk with us so we may schedule your time.

We expect you may have caterers, photographers, lights and sounds technicians, florists, stylists, furniture providers, and wedding coordinators. If you have others outside of this, please discuss the possibility with us. We also ask that the bride, groom, or wedding coordinator be in attendance for any visits by suppliers. We reserve the right to not approve certain suppliers.

We have a few expectations of your suppliers:

• Caterers should prepare all food outside. No cooking for wedding will be allowed on Doane Rest grounds.
• Suppliers are in charge of setup and cleanup of their materials. This is especially important for needles, pins, and other sharp objects as we have children and pets that can be injured by these being left.
• Suppliers should clean up and remove their materials within the provided cleanup time. In the event that materials are stored for longer, suppliers must remove materials within 2 calendar days following event or materials will be donated (Sunday cleanups are not possible, so they will not be counted as 2 calendar days). We will deduct P1,000 from the security deposit per day for storage fees.
• Suppliers must sort and dispose of trash appropriately in the provided bins. Improperly sorted or undisposed trash will be charged P5,000 for us to perform the necessary disposing and sorting required by the city (to be removed from security deposit).
• Trash must be sorted properly as biodegradable, trash, and recyclable (trash cans are marked appropriately).

Here are the suppliers and vendors we recommend:

Florist and events stylist – Efren Bacawat
Catering – JR Medina

Currently our list is very short, but we are open to meeting other vendors who are able to follow our guidelines. Please introduce us to excellent vendors you know!

With our wedding packages, we offer 1 night for simply you or also your Christian family and friends. For this night, check-in is at or following 1pm, and check-out is by 10am. In the event that your wedding will be after 10am, we would ask that you have your things packed so we may clean the cottages used.

If you would like to book extra nights at our very affordable rates, such as the night following your wedding for your Christian family and friends to stay longer, please let us know.

Yes, we have reliable internet service. However, this is offered to you for free, and as such, we are not responsible for slow speeds or failure of the internet connection during your wedding.
