2020 Brides

[mochajam]

Hello ladies!

I've just read the '2019 Brides' thread and may '2020 Brides' na rin pala! Shocks! *panic mode*
We got engaged last December lang and we wanted to push the wedding last quarter of this year sana.  Pero siguro if hindi kaya, first quarter of 2020 na lang. What do you guys think? Wala pa kaming nasisimulan! 

We might attend the bridal fair this weekend. Ang bilis naman ng araw! Hahaha!

^sis mas matagal mas ok. Pero may nabasa ako sa ibang thread na nakayanan nya naman ng 5mos.

*pwede ba magpareserve sa church a year prior to the actual wedding?

[jaaaaaaas]

Im also planning my wedding kaya I'll follow this thread. Im sure madami akong matutunan from you guys!

*pwede ba magpareserve sa church a year prior to the actual wedding?

To answer your question sis, oo naman pwede ka na magpareserve ng church ng ganyang kaaga. we reserved our church Sept 2016 (days right after we got engaged) and got married last oct 2017 para din okay yung makuha mong slot esp. the date and time. may mga church kasi na ilang weddings yung inaaccommodate nila within the day kaya better na mas maaga opinion lang naman. hope makatulong

Got proposed to 7days ago pero nagpareserve na kame ng church 1st week ng January this week.

Yas  2020 bride here too. Nakakaloka lang na almost puno ma yung weekends slot ng church na gusto namin. Kaya ayun 3rd quarter na kame ng 2020. Kala ko pa naman maaga pa masyado para magpareserve ng church 😂

[red_yesha]

detteski tama ka!! Nakapag pa reserved na kami ng date yey! Thank you 😊.
Weekday pinili namin para makatipid hehe.

sassy_gal18 wowww 2020 ka rin. Congrats!

Nauna ang pagplano ng wedding namin hindi pa sya nagpopropose sakin haha. Well, ok lang naman sakin kahit wala nun, pero sabe nya mag propose pa din daw sya. Magugulat nalang daw ako.
Anyway, hindi ako aasa para magulat talaga ako hehe.

Gusto ko sana 50 lang ang iinvite namin sa kasal. Pero mukang malabo yun. Yung bf ko kasi daming kamag anak. Mapa Manila o Probinsya.
Sana umepek yung taktika namin na itapat sa weekday. 200k lang budget namin. Yoko na sana lumagpas dun. Huhu.
Unting tao= mas intimate at matipid.
Nga pala, Wedding rites ang kinuha namin P 2.5k lang though hindi pa ako nakaka attend sa ganun set up hehe.

[sassy_gal18]

Sis! Same here nauna yung planning and reservation ng church kesa proposal. Kala ko nga next year pa magpoprose pero baka naawa na sa mga parinig ko hahaha

Cheers to us sissy!

Hi,

Ask ko [textspeak!] kung my nkaattend na ng wedding sa The Greenery? Any reviews? More or less kc bka dun ang venue nmen since my malapit dn na church. Plan nmen na date for wedding is Dec 2020. Both kameng working abroad ni h2b so ngaun palang nghahanap nako ng possible venue pra mkpgocular visit kpg ngbakasyon kme this year.

Sa caleruega ko sna gusto mgpakasal. Gusto ko kc ng maliit na church [textspeak!] pra mas intimate. Ayoko ng masyadong malaking church tpos ang daming vacant seats. haha Kaso hirap mghanap ng mgndang venue around tagaytay na pasok sa budget. Any suggestion po?

Thank you!

Hello, fellow 2020 brides! ^^ Any reviews on Randy Lazaro the event stylist? Baka you have friends who had him as the ES? Also, if you know his styling rates, is it okay to share it here? TIA!

[cherypop]

^Hi Sis Danica, friend ko sa The Greenery ikinasal. Christian wedding. Maganda yung place. Looban lang yung papunta don. Overall nagustuhan ko yung ambiance hehe.

Hello!
I'm a newbie and this is my very first post haha

Also a 2020 (OFW) bride so nakakastress that I can't do anything but read and read muna.

Just to share...we're eyeing for Sitio Elena as our reception, and PIHM for the church.
I first considered seeking full coord service, kaso uncertain ako sa kalalabasan, though makakamura sana kami. Right now, we might just get an OTD coord, at si Events by Thoffy siguro cos their rates
are reasonable.

How about you ladies? Ano-ano na mga decisions nyo by this time?

[red_yesha]

^hirap sis mag start noh? Anong month wed mo sis? PIHM din ako hehe.Nakapag pa reserved palang kami ng date. Kinabahan kasi ako, punuan daw. Nagulat nga ako meron ng nagpareserved for May 2020  hehe.
Hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin kami makapag decide sa reception, otd, caterer. Feeling ko dapat yan ang unahin.

[jaaaaaaas]

I also initially wanted PIHM, but halos lahat ng weekend ng 2020 booked na, except yung mga months na tag-ulan. For reception, we might Get Fernwood Gardens antipolo.

Sis, August pa ako haha I panicked kasi ang gusto ko talaga date (August was booked na! Even sa Sitio Elena. So I had to beg for my family to go and reserve for me (ibang date na nga lang but still August).

Luckily, they went last Sunday so nakakuha sila good deal with Sitio Elena and they were able to try the food of Hizon's Catering. At first, gusto ko si K by Cunanan because of the good reviews here. Pero sobra kasi laki ng price difference with Hizon's, e happy naman family ko sa food nila so baka we'll go for Hizon's.

Any church recommendations po, my partner is living in the South (Las Pi?as) at tiga North (Valenzuela) naman ako, gusto sana namin in between sa area namin. Small church din po sana and mga magkano po kaya? Thank you

Hi, newbie here.

Getting married on November 2020. And I am really torn between three venues.

Checked Marriott two weeks ago and was somehow dissatisfied. I inquired with Manila Pen and Shangri-la Fort. We are keen on booking Manila Pen but I have read some very bad reviews about the staff and their service.

Any bride here that booked one of those venues? I would really appreciate your feedback

March 2020 Bride!
Want to follow this thread. We're getting married in Baguio and we've already booked church, venue, event coordinator, photographer and videographer.
It felt like such a daunting task at first. I felt such anxiety just thinking about the planning but once we booked the church, reception venue and our event coordinator, I felt much more at ease.
Since we're Manila-based, we decided to do full coordination with our coordinator.

Currently on the look out for wedding gown and make up artist.

[jaaaaaaas]

I'm a December 2020 bride pa pero yung photographer na gusto ko, booked na agad. For HMUA naman, I asked Mariah Santos but she's also already booked! Kaya mas maganda na din siguro yung maaga 

[lady marmalade]

Hi mga sis! Ask ko lang baka meron kayo kilala na nagreception sa valle verde 6. Papahelp sana ako kasi need pala ng sponsorship dito.. thank you

Hi all Me and my bf got engaged last Feb and planning our wedding on Feb 2020. We have a chosen church already and possible venue, however, pencil booking palang naman po yun. With regards sa caterer nag attend kami ng isang grand food tasting last Sunday and agad agad we paid for 10k reservation already (was it reckless?  :\ )  I was now wondering if it was a good idea, lalo't  may nakikita akong iba and may ibang nega ako nkita regarding sa event styling ng caterer na nakuha namin. Thing is we're trying to settle things we can while I'm still here kasi I'm working abroad. And the next time i'l be back is a month prior to our big day na.  Any suggestions or tips you can give me po on what other things ang I can settle na as early as now? Also has anyone here tried the venue just behind the Mt. Carmel church? Yung Mark Horan Hall po? Kasi baka yun ang kunin namin para walking distance lang sa church. Also affordable din kasi, especially may limited budget lang kami for the wedding. Lastly, has anyone seen or availed the event styling done by Hizon's catering? Gusto ko po sana makita ang pics mismo ng event nila. Thank you po
