Good luck and God bless your wedding stella!   Enjoy! Looking forward to your review, specially Bizu, JC and Barely Toast.

[stella021817]

@lots-o: Thank you!  I loved that wedding too! So pretty! I requested for all white flowers with lots of candles, so I'm hoping she'll use similar candles as that wedding   You're in good hands with high impact. All my married friends recommended them

@nokie: thank you!! Will definitely review those suppliers. They've all been really easy to work with. Especially Bizu! I cannot say enough good things about my AE, Kaye

ChixC18 haha Yes sis parang gusto ko din, naengganyo ako, pero since sa garden ako baka ilagay ko sa indoor area nila gagawin ko kasing dance hall yun. Dun ko ipwesto mobile bar, for the after party. 

Ako din nga sis e parang masaya! Hehe. Nakita ko sa FB ni Artuz101 na may Acrylic stage na siya. Nag inquire ako sis waiting lang ako ng sagot niya. I'll update you with the rates. Isa kasi siya sa partner ni kuya willie sa L&S niya and mas gusto ko ang Artuz101 kesa Intensity 8 nag upgrade lang ako nagpadagdag ako ng Smoke machine, String lights sa garden area and 2 Moving Head lights. Though pinagiisipan ko pa yung stage baka kasi masyado na OA kasi may LED wall din kami. Hehe.

[stella021817]

^Hi! Congratulations!! May I know how the food from packed gourmet was? And what did you order? Thanks!

[kdramaholic]

^ Chicken Cordon Bleu, Spam and Egg, Adobo, and Ham Sandwich I've never tasted them pero hubby told me na masarap daw yung Cordon Bleu. I read nga lang na parang nagsasawa na daw suppliers sa Chicken kasi parati yun daw ang order pag crew meals.

[stella021817]

^I read that they're tired of fast food, cuz most couples buy them that. So I'm opting for Packed Gourmet. Sorry nalang to them if they're sick of chicken though, haha. There aren't a lot of other options! okay thanks!! Didn't know they have spam available for breakfast

stella021817 how was your experience with the invitations supplier?

[stella021817]

^I'm ordering crew meals for my suppliers for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  If your reception is in a hotel, you'll have to check if they'll allow you to bring in meals. Most hotels are super strict (my reception is in Blue Leaf Filipinas, so no corkage). Otherwise, a meal allowance might be cheaper than getting the hotel crew meals? Also, some contracts specify the min. amount per meal (regardless of whether it's a crew meal or allowance). Best to check on this!

I had a great experience with my invitation suppliers.
Playground PH was very helpful in making my design. And very patient -- I had SO many revisions, and she never complained. She was also the one who contacted Amis Prints and endorsed me.  (I've been told Amis Prints is focusing more on corporate accounts now (instead of weddings). Not sure how true this is).
Amis Prints did an amazing job printing my invites. They were a bit difficult to contact sometimes, but they ultimately came through. They used very thick, quality paper (my main invite was even double sided), and everyone who has received an invite has commented on how pretty and expensive my invites look, haha. They were quite affordable too!
Anneasthetic Designs just got my missalettes and escort cards the other day, and the quality is nice! Much nicer than I expected, since they're very affordable compared to others I contacted. They were easy to deal with and worked fast. I had a problem during my final pickup (some items were missed out), and when I called to complain, Anna immediately apologized and offered to deliver the missing items asap. Should receive them later today

Would highly recommend all 3 suppliers. Hope this helps!
