I started off with the costs because I did not expect to spend that much on Church arrangements. I honestly did not expect the Church rental(?) to be that expensive - but I guess it makes sense! They do have to maintain the beauty and elegance of the place. I want everybody else planning to take into account how much it costs. Note that the prices are higher now. It looks like they increase price yearly.

For Santuario de San Antonio, they allow only specific floral suppliers to decorate the church. They will provide you that list when you book them. Warning with booking: easier to get in when you do it a year in advance.

Booking was tricky. What we did was to call our reception location in advance to introduce ourselves and to be sure we can call them anytime we need to reserve our date. So when we went to the church to book, we had our reception location on the phone. We booked them simultaneously! Everything else was secondary.
