laniecruzilion - ako din nag-ayos ng wedding ko, but i hired a coordinator because of the following:

-my husband was working overseas at that time, and he has only 1 month for preparation. si coordinator ang katulong kong nag-ayos ng ibang details. pero decision still comes from me and my husband.
-gusto ko relax kami ng husband ko sa wedding day namin. ayaw ko na may inaalala pa kaming mga bagay bagay on our special day.
-ayokong ako pa ang ma-stress pag something goes wrong sa wedding ko.
-gusto ko lahat ng guests ko mag-enjoy with us.
-hindi ako comfortable pag sa friends or family ko iaasa ang pag-aayos on the day itself. as i've said, gusto ko lahat ng guests ko mag-enjoy with us, both family and friends.

yan ang reasons ko kung bakit ako kumuha ng coordinator. a coordinator is not a requirement. ayaw ko lang na magsisi ako in the end na pwede pala akong maghire ng coordinator para maging smooth sailing ang wedding ko eh hindi ko pa ginawa.  just my POV. ;)

i was back 2008 on my wedding thought na ok kaya naman wala nang coordinator. Pero after realizing the task i have to distribute sa mga kapatid and friends na kahit willing tumulong e iba pa din yun me experience na sa mga kasal..

I'll ask lang naman... If something wrong be can your friends or relatives do something to correct it or me alternative ba sila? Sample, isa ito sa naku naman
OTD lang kami pero yun nga sound system, syempre meron kayo particular songs na iplay kada activity nangyari is wala pala technician sa venue hindi marunong yun technician alam lang nya play stop play.. hindi sya marunong sa mga pag hina dapat ng sounds pag ganito na gagawin etc.. e wala kang coordinator so ano na?

ano pa... me souvenirs ka nakay ganito dadalhin nalang sa reception. nangyari tapos na ang ceremony sa church hindi pa nahahatid nun driver yun souvenirs.. yun tao na responsible dun alam nya ihahatid na ni driver so hindi nalang sya nag follow up.. so sino mag fofollow up?

and a lot more..

Your friends and relatives has to enjoy your wedding. Mag aasign ka ng tao sa reception, so hindi na sila aattend sa church? ganun nalang yun? they cant be at church kasi alangan naman tsaka lang nila aasikasuhin ang reception details mo if tapos na church ceremony tsaka sila tatakbo dun just to see your wedding?

Well 10-15k for OTD might seems expensive. Well you even spend 50-100k for your photo na muka ka naman haggard sa photo and video because inaalala mo nagawa nga ba mga pinagagawa mo?

tama sabi nila you spend 300K or more on your wedding and even an OTD hindi mo napag laanan ng budget.. Well its risky talaga not to get one..
It is still up to you.. Kasal mo naman yan, ikaw lang din ang bagsak ng lahat ng consequences nyan after the wedding..

Good luck sa inyo.. Ako nun narealize ko yan last 2008 on my wedding i hired a 15k otd that time as in.. they even not required to go to church kasi me coordinator kami sa church... pero hindi ako nagsisi kasi my wedding was organized, almost perfect at hindi ko inalala nalock ba yun suite room namin pagkaalis ng lahat ng tao, or nasan na yun guestbook napasign na ba, maayos ba napaupo mga guest ko, maayos pa ang pag cue ng mga songs na iplay sa mga activity na hindi yun string ko ang kakanta..

I even was very relaxed sa prep room lumamon pa nga ako at nagserve sa mga kakain sa sobrang wala ako inalala.. i even not bothered to think e kamusta naman si hubby sa kabilang room and his family.. nakaalis na ba sya.. etc etc..

Ako naman sis, at first ayaw ko ng coordinator. Tas sa new work ko yung boss ko pala coordinator. Sinabi nya offer nya services nya pero discounted. After a month or so, inoffer nya ng gift saken ang pag organize nya ng event ko. :) So happy!

Bigyan ko na lang siya nice gift/token :)

I think okay lang kumuha ng coordinator, kahit OTD para di naman stressed yung relatives and friends in helping you out during the wedding. Shempre we want them to enjoy the occasion also :) just a thought :)

will consider na kumuha na ng OTD... andami kong nakikitang mura ngayon. 50% yung inooffer ng iba kapag nagpabook ka this year pero me certain duration lang. yung di na sumasagot sa pm i already drop it to my list... ang gulo kasi ng terms nya...


so far, natigil ako sa wedding prep... hay... it feels like am going back  to scratch... oo me tumutulong sa akin pero dun naman ako dinadala sa kamahalan na suppliers goodluck! kaya thankful talaga ako sa mga GT Sisses natin na nagrereply at nagsasuggest kung saan me mura

So pwede ba kahit wala kang coordinator? Kaya ba? O talagang required meron?

Kaya naman, syempre. "Required" is not a word to describe a wedding coordinator, I think. "Highly recommended" sounds right.

wow this is impressive!!!

ako din hands on - hindi na nag hire ng coordinator kasi 60 guests lang pero out of town kaya mahirap din, tapos OFW pa ako via internet lahat buti may GT. 

inuutusan ko na din mga bridesmaids, nakakainis nga kundi utusan hindi man lang magtanong kung ano maitutulong nila - well siguro i just expect too much.

salamat sa mga na share nyo!

honestly sis ha-- sobrang hassle sa friends/relatives ng wedding pag walang coordinator.

this happened to us recently lang. yung h.s friend ng bride ang emcee at taga ayos ng AVP. naku, kagulo yung video. magpplay tapos hindi pa pala yun ang dapat i-play. ilan beses pa ulit ulit yung mali.

sumakit talaga ulo namin sa table kasi ang laki pa naman ng screen. ::)

tapos picture taking by table.. akala natawag na lahat ng tables, ayun pala may nakalimutan pa. eh umalis na lahat ng tao dun sa table na nakalimutan.

sa church naman, hindi pa dapat buksan yung door, binuksan na agad. (eto sa tingin ko ang pinakapalpak!) nawala yung suspense bridal entrance ng bride.

tapos naka dress and high heels kami and all... bigla ba naman inask kami to stand sa entrance ng function room. maghagis daw kami ng confetti.

it really depends on how dependable your friends and relatives are. And how detailed ang wedding mo. If hindi naman masyado madami ginagawa at wala masyadong details carry na walang OTD.

About that hagis ng confetti hehe minsan kasi maganda na guest who are wearing cocktail dress/gown ang maghagis kasi sila yun masasama sa photos.. Though dapat din wag pilitin yun ayaw mag hagis.. hanap nalang ng payag.

^yah! tsaka, sa Makati Shang kasi yung venue. so prim & proper ang drama namin. usually, mga waiters ang nagpapaputok ng confetti. hehe
