We got married in Manila in 2006.
We found the British Consulate was decidedly unfriendly. My fiancée had a small clutch bag and had to wait outside as 'no bags allowed' and no facility to leave the bag at reception.
This was unlike the Spanish consulate where they held the bag at reception whilst we both went in.
I had thought the British embassy would have amended their service when they moved to the new premises.
My friend, who will get married next week in Manila, had the same experience recently as his fiancée was made to wait outside.
