pwede naman kahit wala. honestly i don't really see the need for them. Parang "nice to have " lang.
my hubby & i didn't hire any otd/coordinator on our wedding and everything was ok naman. It was probably not perfect, but it wasn't because of the lack of otd...may nag-inarte lang isa sa mga entourage ko.but other than that, everybody enjoyed themselves and had un.

during preps, ok naman lahat, bridesmaids, my hmua & p/v were on time. me & hubby were calling/texting each other na wag kang male-late ha! Lol!
the processional or walking sa aisle ng whole entourage, yung mga nagseserve sa church ang nag-asikaso. when it was my turn sila na rin nag-close & open ng door, yung gumawa ng gown ko nag-aayos ng veil and train ko (because it was soo long)
during reception, yung mga bridesmaids ko nag-assist sa guests to their seats & also distributed souvenirs later on. can't really think of any thing that they can do that we can't. Then we have to pay them..how much..?

but of course iba iba naman tayo mga brides right? but my point is, ok lang kahit walang otd/coordinator your wedding can still be a success.
Happy preps soon-to-be-brides!

I was planning to get OTD kaso parang sayang naman sa pera. Friends are more than willing to help especially sa wedding. I asked my 2 bffs to help on the day of the wedding. Pero planning kame lang ni future hubby. We just need someone to help us out on the same day ng wedding

ganyan din ang original plan ko. I have friends naman na talagang tutulungan ako, kaso naisip ko din nga na gusto ko silang mag enjoy sa day namin. Kaya nag search na din ako ng affordable OTD pero has quality naman.

very interesting thread. honestly, naging dilemma and source of stress ko these past few weeks whether to get an OTD coordinator or not. before h2b's proposal, sinabi ko na sa sarili ko na pag kinasal kami, kukuha ako ng OTD coordinator. Main reason ko, i'm a worrier, at ayaw ko ng stress. Kaso lang, biglang nagoffer ang mga sisters ni h2b na maging OTD coordinator namin. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the gesture. For them to volunteer na gawin ang ganung kabigat na task eh talaga namang nakakatouch. Pero at the back of my mind, I still want to hire instead of delegating the task to family and friends. Unfortunately, h2b is okay with the idea na sisters nya ang mag OTD coordinator for us. Napapayag ako sa idea kasi nahihiya ako to turn down yung offer nila, plus agree din kasi si h2b na wag na nga lang maghire. Napapayag ako, kahit deep inside worried na worried nako. So ilang days naging issue to saming dalawa. To the point na naiiyak nako sa stress. Anyway, to cut the story short, after telling my h2b yung real feelings ko about OTD coordinator, nagkaron kami ng change of plans at napapayag ko na siya for us to hire one!!! Yehey!

Di ko pinost to, para iconvince other bride to be na mag hire ng OTD. Its your wedding! kaya kayo pa din masusunod. Atchaka, mas kilala nyo sarili nyo, friends and family nyo. Mas alam nyo kung kaya nila iexecute ang tasks na idedelegate if ever.

Anyway, for brides who opted not to hire an OTD, ishare ko lang tong mga naexperience ko sa mga weddings without OTD, para as early as now, makaisip na kayo ng contingency plan.

1. Dahil walang OTD, during the preps, si bride ang nagfofollow up ng arrival ng entourage. Pati directions papunta sa church siya ang tinatawagan. At ang nakakalungkot pa dito, nalate at kalagitnaan na dumating ang maid of honor at isang bridesmaid.

2. Sa friends dinelegate yung pag check ng sound system sa church. unfortunately, di napansin na merong hindi compatible sa music. ang ending, nataranta sa paghahanap ng another laptop yung kakanta sa bridal march.

3. dahil walang nagassist sa bridal march, antagal bago nagstart yung procession, nagaantayan kasi kung sino mauuna, [textspeak!] music o yung paglalakad. medyo nainip na yung mga guests.

4. sa cutting ng cake, nagtanungan pa kung asan yung pang cut ng cake, yun pala nakalimutan na nung bridesmaid dahil busy sa pakikipagkwentuhan.

5. may dumating na di nag rsvp, si bride pa ang nangarap sa pagcoordinate sa caterer para mabigyan ng place.

some of the details na make sure maendorse/madelegate ng mabuti para di stressed si bride sa wedding day itself.

para naman sa mga brides like me who opted to hire an OTD. wag nating iexpect na dahil may OTD eh wala ng magiging glitches. Hindi pa din natin masasabi na magiging perfect ang lahat. Kailangan pa din talaga ng preparation at matinding dasal.. At isipin na lang natin, at the end of the day, married na tayo sa ating love of our lives!! hehe.. happy preps everyone.

ang haba lang ng post ko.. hehe

We will not get otd/wedding planner/coordinator because of the following reasons:

1. Practicality: Masmaganda magcoordinate at magplan ng wedding if you can handle your own budget since mas marami pang pwedeng wedding supplies ang mbibili mo on hiring a planner/otd. We can have a successful wedding kahit walang planner as long as you really prepared for your wedding.

2. It's the Bridesmaids/Groomsmen/Secondary Sponsors tasks: I believe na you have to give the responsibility to the entourage member kaya mga relatives ang kinuha namin sa entourage to make sure na ma-meet sila prior the wedding and delegate their task during the event.

3. It's just "IN" but not a requirement kung sa church you can assign one from the church to oversee the ceremony, sa wedding namin let your entourage help you, the maid of honor will serve as the overall coordinator.

For me, kaya kong walang OTD sa Hotel preps and church.. pero sa reception.. OMG.. baka magkagulo pag wala akong OTD.. for sure busy na ang entou ko mag enjoy sa reception.. I know how it is to be one of the entou.. at honestly, kahit love ko ang bride and groom.. gusto ko din ma-enjoy ang wedding kahit sa reception lang

[pinkalicious]

^wala ako OTD sa hotel at church sis pero sa reception yung host namin will also be our coordinator =)

[C+C]

^ako din sana ,sis hindi mag otd sa reception, kaso may band kame, so silent queuing sa pictorial at buffet table.

[muriel1]

bilib ako sa mga kaya ng wala kahit OTD man lang. as much as we would want to save/scrimp sana on this, hindi kaya ng powers namin ni h2b.   

our entourage will be coming from all over the world so mahirap sila imeet before wedding. the mere fact din na they would come out of their way to celebrate with us, malaking bagay na for us. tapos both of us have full time jobs and ako pang gabi pa. saka yung mga friends and family namin, h2b and i agreed na we would want them to sit back and relax during our wedding, pabor na rin samin yun kesa naman kami ang mastress pag hindi nila nadeliver or sumablay yung iassign namin  na on the day tasks. ang hirap kasi pag friend or family mo, mas maigi pa na doon na kami sa binabayaran kasi yun pwede ka magdemand, eh baka mamaya lumabas pagiging bridezilla ko, mahirap na, baka maruin pa relationship namin with them, pangit na start naman yun. as much as we would want our sisters/cousins to help us, mahirap din kasi mas mga bata ng sobra sa amin yun and this is the first wedding both on our sides so wala talaga experience kasi pareho kami eldest sa family namin on both sides.

and siguro for me pinakaimportanteng ask sa amin on our wedding day ng OTD is gawing smooth sailing ang church at reception proper, meaning, taga ayos ng mga gusot ng mga pasaway (yung grabe kumuha ng picture na nahaharangan na yung official p/v, yung wala sa dress code ang suot, yung mga wala sa list ng nag rsvp, yung may mga kasamang hindi official part ng guest list, food for the suppliers, etc. hindi siya want sa amin but more of a need as we don't have the bandwidth to do those asks without risking glitches and frustrations.

pero as i have said, bilib ako sa mga may kaya ng without hiring an OTD coordinator, sadly, hindi kami mapalad to be one of those couples.
