Paunang hirit: Wala po kaming coordinator at ang lahat ay personal naming tinutukan. Pero mga kapatid, nakakatuwa pa rin kasi 2 suppliers ang nakapansin na organized daw kami (wahehe, shempre anyabang ko naman di ba?) Me mga unforeseen events pa rin na nangyari sa kasal. Una yung ring bearer namin, nasukahan ang gown ng MOB. Deadma na lang, walang Ring Bearer na nag-march. Pangalawa, nag-brownout sa reception (nagkaron kami ng libreng fireworks at me nagcomment pang “Ayy! Ang romantic!” hahaha). Susme. Nag-apoy na yung wire ng Meralco, di pa rin masyadong nahalata. Salamat sa luminaries. Yun pala ang silbi non J Sa 265K, din a rin matatawaran ang galing ng mga suppliers involved. 220 ang guests. Pano nagkasya? Isa-isahin po natin:

1. Blue Petals Catering
Peso Power: 75,590.00 (220 heads)
Rating: 10
Reasons:
a. Sobrang ok na service (mula initial meeting hanggang wedding day). Sila mismo nagbibigay ng fresh ideas. Every meeting namin, almost 3-4hrs kami inaabot sa sobrang particular namin sa details but they’re very patient. On the day itself, nung nawalan ng electricity, they utilized the luminaries by putting them on the guest tables.
b. Daming guests ang nagcomment na masarap yung food.
c. Sa P220 per head, complete na ang menu: pork, fish, beef, chicken, pasta, drinks, and panghimagas.

2. Ariel Javelosa Photography
Peso Power: 53,055.00 (includes prenup, 8x10 digital album, 2 mini-album, 1 signature frame, 1 tarpulin, 16x20 blow-up canvass, video in vcd/vhs/dvd)
Rating: 10 (separate rating will be given for the album upon receipt)
Reasons:
a. Sa meeting, walang problem. Madali silang makausap thru email or phone.
b. For prenup pictorial, we went to four locations: studio, hotel, church, and reception. Praktisadong-praktisado na kami sa pose kahit prenup pa lang!
c. Mabilis makuha yung output cd (prenup and wedding shots)
d. Game yung team sa mga shots na gusto mo. I have the misconception that their photos are traditional. When I spoke to Kuya Ben & Kuya Manuel that we want our pictures to be 60% candid & wacky, I didn’t know they’d deliver super ultra great shots =)

3. Ysabelle Fashion/Bridal Factory
Peso Power: 10,100 (for the gowns of the mothers and Groom’s apparel)
Rating: 10
Reasons:
a. Mabilis kausap. Mabilis ang delivery. Maganda ang quality. Natuwa pareho ang mothers dahil specially designed and unique yung gowns nila. The groom was also happy and contented sa damit nya.

4. Leonie Bautista
Peso Power: 11,000 for 8 female entourage and 2 flower girls
Rating: 10
Reasons:
a. Madaling kausap. Mabilis ang delivery. Maganda ang quality.
b. Medyo di kami nagkaintindihan sa kulay mismo pero buti na lang ok yung kinalabasan lalo na sa pics. Natuwa naman yung female entourage ko.


5. Sugarbox Cake
Peso Power: 8,500.00 (fondant cake with 12 mini-cake)
Rating: 8
Reasons:
a. Mabilis at maayos kausap. Sa text nga lang kami madalas magcommunicate ni Ms. Emily e.
b. Masarap yung cake at nilantakan ng mga bata yung billiard balls.
c. Kulang ng 2 points kasi una nawala yung isang topper na nirequest namin and pangalawa, hindi namin nahagilap yung wishes for the single ladies. Pero after the wedding, Ms. Emily explained her side and she’s willing to make it up by sending us another minicake with the topper we missed. Not a bad idea. So let’s finalize the rating to 9 na rin. Madali naman din kami kausap.

6. Palmos Weddings (for the Bridal Gown)
Peso Power: pasensya na, secret daw po.
Rating: 9
Reasons:
a. Masarap kausap sila Mam Olie at Sir Jorge. They’ll give you suggestion about your gown and kung ano ang mga babagay dito. And kahit super busy sila, they’ll take time to take care of you. And ang sarap ng feeling pag inaasikaso ka, di ba?
b. Kulang ng 1 point kasi bumigay yung zipper sa hotel pa lang. Buti na lang me pangalawang lock kaya di halata.

7. JJS Entertainment
Peso Power: 10,000 for the quartet (plus 1 free church singer)
Rating: 2
Reasons:
a. Masarap sana kausap si Sir John. Mahirap nga lang mahagilap.
b. Bridal march was a disaster. Yep, I have to live with this disappointment forever. I requested for A Moment Like This. Sabi ni Sir John maiiyak daw ako sa galing ng JJS. And true to his word, gusto ko maiyak while marching sa aisle.Believe it or not, di ko alam kung babalik ba ako sa entrance ng church to give ample time for the singer to practice the song. Parang nun lang nya prinaktis yung kanta. Once in a lifetime bridal march at wala sa tono yung kumanta. Nakakaiyak talaga.
c. Di tumugtog yung quartet sa reception while waiting for the program to start. Pagdating naming couple sa reception, CD ang tumutugtog. What da?! Bakit pa ako kumuha ng quartet kung CD ang gagamitin?
d. Nung nagbrownout, nablanko ang upuan nilang lahat, naiwan yung instruments. Sana man lang nag-stay put din sila sa seats nila kasi halatang-halata na nawala sila. Nasa harap sila e. Asan sila?
e. Bumawi sila nung patapos na yung reception. Me mga pinakanta kasi kaming friends and natugtog naman nila ng maayos. Kaso, yun lang ba ang binayaran ng 10,000? Magaan nga yung task nila kasi for the wedding traditions, we didn’t ask them to play anymore, CD na lang muna.
f. Ilan sa nirequest naming kanta ang natugtog? Wala pang lima.
g. Nawala na rin yung surprise ng groom kasi hindi daw sila nasabihan. O di ba, nagsuffer pa yung program.
h. Sana when Jacque mentioned her sentiments about JJS, nakinig na ako. Kaso I trusted John so much kasi neighbor namin sya. Same as Jacque, I asked him what happened (to give him the benefit of the doubt kaso deadma, dito na ata sila magaling pag pumapalpak)

8. Xstatic Sound and Lights
Peso Power: 5,000
Rating: 8
Reasons:
a. Medyo nahirapan kami nung una kontakin si Sir Mon. Hectic masyado ang sked pero nung nakausap na namin sya, madaling makapalagayan ng loob.
b. Di namin alam kung dahil sa kanila kaya bumigay yung electricity sa reception. Pero pwede rin namin di na-anticipate ng country club na ganon kalaking power supply ang makakain ng wedding namin (1st time kasi mag-hold ng wedding sa place na yon)

9. Ross Regala (HMUA)
Peso Power: 8,500 for 3 heads during wedding, 1,200 for prenup, 1000 per extra head on wedding day
Rating: 7
Reasons:
a. Personal favorite ko si Mama Ross. Magaan kasi ang kamay (he can make wonders talaga). Mabilis magtrabaho and high end ang gagamiting products sa’yo. I would’ve given him a perfect 10 kaso…
b. Before our reception, tinanggal nya ang ipit sa buhok ko. Then, picture taking na kami ng groom ko. I had no way to see kung ok ba yung new hairstyle ko so I trusted him. When I saw the pics, nanlumo ako. Nagkaron ng umbok yung part ng hair ko na nakaipit (at nilugay). And worst, sa reception wala nang naglakas ng loob magsabi na mukha na akong bruha dahil nililipad sa kung saan-saang direction ang buhok ko. And where is my HMUA? Nowhere to find.
c. Lastly, ang usapan namin is 700 for additional heads during wedding. Yung mga nagpa-makeup sa kanya, sinabihan ko. But Ross insisted na 1,000 daw ang usapan namin. Since I was busy, these ladies paid him without consulting me. There goes my favorite HMUA.

10. RCG Printing Press
Peso Power: 45.00 x 70 copies (5 pages each)
Rating: 6
Reasons:
a. Ayon sa feedback ng nakararami, ganda daw ng invitations namin.
b. Mabango, hindi nakakasawa yung amoy ng pages.
c. Kaso, hindi malinis ang trabaho. Ilang beses bumalik si En sa shop nila para ireject yung mga invitations. Grrr talaga. To think na ipi-print na nga lang nila… di nakakatuwa magpabalik-balik sa Recto ha.

11. Mang Boy Mahusay (Bridal Bouquet & Entourage flowers)
Peso Power: 7,500
Rating: 10
Reasons:
a. Ang gaan sa loob kausap, straight to the point.
b. Nung una akala ko, mahal yung package na nakuha namin. On the day itself, reasonable naman pala yung price. Di nya kami tinipid sa bulaklak. Lahat maganda! And take note, on time sya magdeliver. S’ya ang kauna-unahang supplier na dumating.
c. Kaso nawala yung red berries ng bouquet ko. Ok na rin. Nacompensate na rin ng quality deliverable nila.

Multinational Village

galing naman....parang almost perfect na...pwede po ba makuha *** mga contact info ng suppliers nyo? december of next year pa po ang kasal namin...pero ***** pa lang nagca-canvass na...of course we are already anticipating na may slight increase but still, we can have some sort of ideas...we might pay a visit na rin sa shop nila pag may time...

[ninjathet0312]

Just got married last Jan. 25 we have reserved for at least 250 guest pero siguro mga 220-230 lang dumating pero ok lang talagang memorable naman. Yung mga suppliers namin nirefer din lang ng mga friends. Tingnan nyo na lang website nila.

1.Tobiah's Catering and Wedding Details
Bale one stop wedding shop talagaq sya. Ok ang mga packages nya. So hindi ka na magiiba-iba pa ng suppliers kasi flowers, bridal car, cake si Judy Uson pa yung ka tie-up nya kasama yon sa packages nya bahala ka na lang mamili ng pasok sa budget. Sobrang ok ka meeting. Sila din ang wedding coordinator namin and talagang thumbs up ako. Talagang wala kang ibang gagawin kundi top enjoy that very special day.Maski yung mga guest namin ang ganda ng comments. Masarap ang pagkain, ok ang services.

2. Kenneth Uy Photography

Magaganda ang shots nya ang bilis mo pang makuha yung raw cd. Kasama yung mga unedited shot na ibibigay nya sa yo.Kami after pre-nup nakuha namin agad yung cd tapos yung undited shots nung wedding pinadala din nya after 2 days. Gaganda ng mga shots. ganda din nung blow -up portrait na ginawa nya. Sobrang ok din yung audio- visual.

3. Home and Bridal Essential

Mga wedding accessories naman ang makikita nyo dito. Ang gaganda din ng mga products nya. YUng unity candle mas mura sa kanya kesa sa wedding library. Dami pa designs na pamimilian. Tapos yung invitations namin dami na gawa nya simple but elegent dami nagandahan kaya nakakatuwa.

4. Christ the King Parish, Greenmeadows, Q.C.

Ok ang church sulit din ang binayad mo. Meron din silang place para sa reception so hindi magtravel pa yung mga guest para pumunta sa reception venue.

5. Velvet Mood

Quintet ang kinuha namin. Bale Php 12,500 ang singil nila pero ok din ang services.

6. Acclaim Butterflies - Megamall

Ok na rin. Kaya lang medyo kaasar yung tindera don mukhang hindi ako naintindihan at hindi nya nakuha yung instructions ko kasi sabi nung coordinator ilagay sa collapsible box yung ibang butterfly tapos yung iba sa envelop. Ang ginawa naman nila nilagay sa envelop yung butterflies tapos pinasok sa box. Ngeeh. So ginawa nung coordinator sila na lang ang naglipat sa box ayun namatay yung ibang butterflies. Per at least kahit papano di na masyadong halata yon, kasi my lumipad naman kahit papano.

Masyadong smooth yung preparation namin sa wedding kasi hindi ganon kadaming suppliers ang kausap at least isang tao lang halos ang kausap.

magkano po binayad nyo sa greenmeadows for the church? dun din ba reception nyo? mgkano po budget nyo? i like the idea na di na kelangan pang magtravel ng guest...plan kasi namin sa villa de oro sa tagaytay..pero di ata practical bcoz of d the guest are from metro manila...

[caryatid_kitten]

I highly recommend these suppliers/artists for your upcoming weddings. I would definitely get there should I get married here in PH.

Photographer: Chito Cleofas - in a nutshell, looking at the photos he took made me cry *sniff*. He's easy to deal with and he personally takes photos on your wedding day meron iba kasi hindi na sila mismo eh.

Flowers - like I've said in another thread, 2171 floral creations...Joyce Aguilar

Cake - Judy Uson. BEAUTIFUL cake. fairly priced... =)

[sexi_mommi]

IS he good? i mean with price i read sa website nya, HE MUST BE GOOD! medyo pricey sya and honestly, i really havent heard of anyone who got his services. maybe u can mention some famous weddings he covered.

It's not a famous wedding but he covered my best friend's wedding last year. My bestfriend is very satisfied with his works. I've veiwed his edited video of my bestfriend's wedding (not the movie hehe) and was very impressed. I was her coordinator too and as a coordinator I was impressed by their professionalism and they are very easy to talk to. I recommend them too.

[lecg]

HELP! Any idea on how much Calla Lilies cost? are they available din sa Dangwa?

[mai19]

Kenneth Uy Photography

hey kenneth uy bride din ako...

Yung church Php 25,000 yung rate nila may kasama nang pianist and singer. Pero kung hindi mo kukunin yung pianist less 2k. Tapos yung social hall nila 15k. Ok naman. at leats hindi pagod ang guest kasi lapit lang ng reception. Malaki naman yung social hall nila kahit 300 guests kasya.

Check out the JJS acoustic trio. They were very good during our reception. Make sure your singer is male. The male voice is more conducive for weddings.

[ninjathet0312]

hey rabaddal, all this time you have been very helpful..so far i already booked the church,caterer,reception venue and video/photo supplier.... magkano ba rate ng JJS trio for church and reception? tnx much!

[rabbaddal]

12K for reception only but incl. acoustic band, sound system and DJ. I'm sure they have a package for church & reception, however I think it's nice to have a choir do the church instead. They’re especially good when it comes to Bacharach and Costelo songs.

Buti di pumalpak ang JJS sayo. blue17's experience with them was a disaster. I also handled my friend's wedding and they were very late in the reception. My partner had to play the piano in the meantime because all the guests were there waiting. They also didn't follow the song list my friend provided. And the person in charge was very difficult to contact after my friend made the downpayment already.

[maeve27]

hello. anyone knows LOLA MAMANG'S catering website or contact number? kasi we are planning on changing caterers and may nagsabi na super sarap nila and mura. thanks.
