Experiencing the English Garden



Romantics have long kept a wonderful secret: Sonya’s Garden in Alfonso, Cavite is a great spot for romantic meals…that could possibly lead to other, even more romantic situations. (Attention, men: It’s great for marriage proposals!)

Now you can have your dream wedding in Sonya’s famous English garden, surrounded by her famous blooms. Whether your reception is for lunch or dinner, you can choose from the cottage or the conservatory, which can seat up to 150 guests, all of whom can bask in the midst of nature as they celebrate your special day with you. Thanks to the natural beauty that abounds in Sonya’s Garden, you can enjoy a romantic setting few other venues can offer, and save on hiring a florist for the occasion. Sonya’s signature white linen tablecloths and floral dinnerware add a touch of elegance.

The menu consists of Sonya’s signature meal. Start with a fresh salad with edible flowers from her garden topped with Sonya’s delectable Super Secret Salad Dressing, then enjoy hors d’oeuvres of anchovies, basil pesto, sun-dried tomato pesto, and kesong puti in olive oil. Choose from two main courses of pasta dishes with your choice of red sun-dried tomato sauce, or white sauce with chicken, mango, and passion fruit juice, which she calls "passionate chicken." Should you and your guests crave more gustatory goodness, you can have a whole roast chicken with rosemary, or a juicy salmon steak.

As an added bonus, the new bed and breakfast cottages can be yours for the night. Sonya has built a beautiful cottage identical to her own for honeymooners; its most distinct features are flooring made of antique railroad ties and a bathroom overlooking a lush tropical ravine. Complete your English garden experience with a breakfast of scrambled eggs with fresh herbs from the garden in the morning after your wedding.

If you want to know what it’s like to have an English garden party, Sonya’s Garden offers you the closest you can get to a real one.
