OASIS MANILA couples, you want to hear more kwento para you are aware of what might happen to your events? read on. i will just write here what has happened in my past events. be the judge.
1. March couple. i told the bride be careful sa mga extra charges especially that Rejectkrew is not in good terms with them. true enough, instead of the usual 30amperes na sinasabi ni elemer, they want the couple to pay for 40amperes. couple computed what might be the consumption kasi they are engineers, reply ng oasis:
Dear Sir
Sorry for the misunderstanding. We are not forcing you to get 40 amps of electricity. Based on our experience with reject crew , their 30 amps is actually not accurate. So we are just informing you of your options. Everything is black and white. If you request for a 30 amps breaker we will provide you with 30 amps. If there is any power interruption , we will not be liable. Bec the 30 amps would only be for your sound system and lights by reject crew. Your option on the day will be to remove the excess amps or equipments. It is still your choice whether to proceed with 30 amps or 40 amps.
I hope this clarifies the matter .
groom was so mad, nag-curse na sya sa email. but we didnt win. nagbayad pa din sila. walang choice.
2. june event. i handled a wedding for a church friend so it's as if ako ikakasal, lahat ng transactions sa akin, contract sa akin. i went to the office a few days or maybe 2 weeks before the wedding date. they asked me to sign the gate pass. i mentioned i might have a mixed balls and sago gulaman cart plus 2 air coolers but not sure pa. 4 days before the wedding they were calling/texting me about the gate pass. sabi ko i signed na. wala daw. sabi ko ano yung pina-sign nyo? if that's not a gate pass bakit kung kailan andun ako, walang nagpa-sign? at kung wala akong sinign, bakit nyo alam na may air coolers ako at mixed balls? tapos they said, kung di po kayo magsa-sign, di po makakapasok ang suppliers. again. dead end. di ka man lang umamin na naiwala mo gate pass na sinign ko?
3. same june event. sabi nya ang coolers ko 500 na for 2 units. nung nagpa-compute na ako anong ibabawas nila sa security deposit ko, nilagay 500 each air coolers. sabi ko may text ka sakin 500 for 2 coolers na. sabi nya ok. malamang ok, e nasa text convo namin yun! hindi ba sila nagtetake notes?
4. same june event. yung deep fryer umangat yung oil, tumapon sa grass. alam ko na the next day titirahin nila ako. so tama ako, nagtext. nadamage ang grass. sabi ko corn oil yun, wala dapat effect sa damo. aabsorb lang ng lupa. sabi ko take photos. di na nagpadala. di na din ako siningil. so kung di ako nagreklamo, billed na naman ako. hello, kinakain nga natin ang corn oil tapos ang grass maapektuhan?!
5. an event a year ago na yata. binuksan ang bridal room, walang nagcheck or nagpa-check. after the event sinisingil ang couple sa nasunog daw na lamesa dahil sa plantsa. pano namin malalaman na amin yun wala naman nagcheck?
6. another event this year. margarush dumating ng 2pm. they need to freeze the margarita for 2 hours. di pinayagan magsaksak. sabi ni margarush, oks lang. 2pm pa lang naman. 6pm pa serving time nila. come 4pm, nagsaksak na ulit si margarush. sinita ng maintenance. sabi ni margarush, di magpifreeze on time if di pa naisaksak. laking pagtatalo. sumugod ako sa office. sabi ko alam ba ng couple na yung binayaran nilang 500 para sa pagsasaksak ni margarush eh 6pm pa? sabi ni marissa dapat daw alam kasi diniscuss ng marketing nila. sige, sabihin nating nalimot ng couple o di nila alam, di ba kayo pwede mag-adjust tutal bayad yan. isa pa, di makapagtrabaho ng tama ang ibang suppliers dahil sa ginagawa nila. i think they banned that waiter.
7. another event. i needed to adjust the time kasi maaga natapos mass and people will start coming in na. sabi couple lang daw pwede magpa-adjust. sabi ko bat pa ako ni-hire? so kung dumating ang couple dito to sign, that means andito na din lahat ng guests, diba? again, di ba pwede mag-adjust. sa part na yun napilit ko.
8. today's event. guests overflowed. dame bitbit ng ibang guests. i asked hizons if they have extra chairs. understandable wala sila kasi why would they bring extra if not allowed ni oasis. so i asked the office what we can do to help. wala daw silang mapapahiram na silya. sabi ko i have probably 15 guests standing. baka pwede mahiram office chairs. no daw. sabi pa in-advise naman daw nila couple two weeks before regarding extra people. sabi ko alam ko rules nyan. but right now, what we need to do is to find solutions. san kakain ang mga bisita? sa reg daw. wow. sa orchard na reg area? una labas yun, pangalawa, ang init dun. so sabi ko anong sasabihin natin sa mga bisitang nakatayo, na wala silang mauupuan? oo daw. wow. just wow.
9. f878's wedding. ayaw bigyan ng certificate na dun sila kinasal (you need that for christian weddings done in gardens, etc) need daw marriage certificate ng couple. sabi ko, ha? pano kayo magkakacertificate eh ipafile nyo pa lang yun. at para ma-file, need ng certification from them. gulung-gulo kaming dalawa ni f878. i called Jamie, sya lang gusto ko dun and some maintenance people, i asked ano ba hinihingi nyo kasi we are really confused. turned out marriage license pala. dinelay nila ang processing, di naman nila alam anong tawag sa mga papers na need nila. sus.
now, be the judge. sulit ba?
