^sis, wala naman ako narereceive. kasi 2013 pa lang binook ko na sila kahit 2015 pa wedding ko hehe. so price locked na yung sa akin.

Malakas naman ang aircon ng chapel

[em-em321]

^sis, how about yung aircon sa upper venues, malakas din?

[eternalpink]

^I can only attest dun sa function room namen (Victorian 2) and considering na malaki yung venue malamig pa din yung aircon in fairness

[mj_dolly]

naka receive kayo mga sis ng updates nila with regards to 2014 package rates?
 

yes sis.. mag-increase daw sila this march.

[mj_dolly]

sissies after you made your reservation fee of 20k, how long did you wait for the contract to be sent to you?

[Diane]

^sis follow up mo lagi sa agent na nag asikaso sayo yung contract. Dapat at least a week meron na

[mj_dolly]

^ganon? more than a week na saken. wedding planner ko may contact sa kanila eh. sana dumating na agad.

[em-em321]

^baket ganon sis, kami before pa nagbigay ng downpayment, pinadalhan na ng contract para mabasa namin ahead. pagdating naman don sa venue at nung nagbayad na kami, sinerve din sa amin same contract at nagpirmahan agad.

[mj_dolly]

^ ay hala? bakit nga ganon? sabi kasi planner ko kelangan daw muna nong 20k before i-send contract so I sent 20k to Fernbrooks account na. I sent it a couple of weeks ago so mid march im pretty sure they will ask for the 50% of the total amount, I won't send the 50% gang wala pa contract!

hayyy hirap ng planning if you're overseas...... 

[em-em321]

well, yung sa amin kasi yung planner ko din nakipag-usap doon sa fernbrook. siguro maintindihan ko yung sa part mo dahil nung nagdown ka, hindi in person unlike us. pero dapat pagbayad mo nung 20k, meron na agad contract isend sa inyo kasi doon nakastate yung deadlines ng bawat bayaran after that eh. nabigyan ka naman ng receipt at least na inacknowledge na nareceive na nila at confirming na blocked na yung date na napili mo? kasi yung paggamit din nung vip room doon sis unahan, pag ikaw yung last na nagbook for that day, sa yo mapupunta yung pinakamaliit.

Hi sissies!  I'm a 2016 bride and we've booked Fernbrook Gardens & Notre Dame de Vie Chapel.  We want to bring our own priest and sabi nung contact from the Diocese of Paranaque, they do allow that as long as we will provide his CRASM.  I also asked kung ano included dun sa 15k wedding fee.  It includes daw stipend of the priest and the materials to be used during the wedding rites such as wine, host, etc.  I wanted to clarify with her kung sila na magbibigay ng stipend to our chosen priest or yung part ng 15k na yun for stipend is mapupunta sa kanila and we have to pay our chosen priest on top of the 15k.  Hindi na nagreply yung contact sa email ko.  Does anyone have an idea?  Thanks sissies

Hi,

As of May 2014 eto yung mga accredited florists sa Fernbrook. Sinong marerecommend nyo among these? Minsan kasi yung nasa portfolio hindi naman talaga ganun karami yung flowers na nilalagay nila kapag actual na.

DAPHNEY LIGSAY EVENTS AND CONCEPTS
FORGET ME KNOT FLORIST STYLIST
SCENTA CREATIONS & EVENT STYLING
WEDDINGS & MOTIFS STYLING, FLOWERS & COORDINATION

Thanks!

[eternalpink]

^^Sis, I think even if you bring your own priest standard price na yung 15k.

^At least mas madami na ang accredited florist nila, when we got married last November nung nag-aayos kame during the year, 2 lang yung accredited nila.

Personally, namamahalan ako sa package ng mga florist nila kaya ang ginawa nalang namen, since medyo ma-nature/floral na yung chapel itself, hindi na kame nag hire ng florist, I just decorated/lined the aisle with tulle balls na nakasabit sa chairs.

Di ba sila nagcharge ng corkage fee or early set up fee since ikaw nagdecorate? After ng ceremony, coordinator ba nagtanggal nung decorations na nilagay mo?

Totoo, ang mahal ng mga accredited florist nila. Ok yung ginawa mo.

[rienny25]

I finally received a reply... Yung stipend daw na kasama dun sa 15k, mapupunta sa chosen priest namin  

Sis eternalpink, DIY ba yung mga nilagay mo decorations?  Pwede ko makita yung picture, if you don't mind?

[eternalpink]

Sis jonahtorres, yung sa'min, wala namang corkage fee hindi pa nga kame nakapag setup ng maaga kase last kame na kinasal that day and may 2 pa nauna sa'min hehe so mabilisan lang talaga. Buti nalang yung naisip ko na tulle balls, isasabit nalang sa chair, yung una ko kaseng dapat gagawin may braid effect pa sa chairs, kung ganon hindi talaga aabot.

Sis rienny25, good to know na kasama na sa 15k ang stiped kahit you'll bring your own priest. Sa'min kase dapat we'll bring our own, yung 3 priests na ininvite namen lahat may prior commitment na kaya yung parish office nalang in Fernbrook yung kumuha for us. Yes, sis, DIY yung ginawa naming tulle balls hehe. Ito yung website nung instructions: http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/tulle-pomander-tutorial-very-pic-heavy-sorry/#axzz34QW896Yr

Thanks eternalpink for sharing   Ang galing mo naman.  Wala akong talent when it comes to art   We still couldn't decide kung sino sa mga accredited florist kukunin namin.  Kasama na kasi sa package nung binook namin Fernbrook.  Ni-recommend ng OTD ko si Scenta kaso pricey ata siya compared sa iba.  Nahihilo na ako sa kakabasa ng review.  hehe!  Tapos I received an email from Fernbrook yesterday na nag-iba na yung AE namin dahil yung dati namin AE hindi na daw affiliated with them.

Hi! I'm a December 2015 bride. Anyone who can recommend good florist or event stylist. I've been trying to contact fernbrooks accredited suppliers no feedback till now.

[eternalpink]

Sis rienny25, pa-help ka nalang baka may artistic friends ka hehe!

Kame din nag palit ng AE from Fernbrook during our preps, nag resign yung AE hehe. Ang pumalit si King Flores who is very kind and accommodating naman.
