pampanga bride 2

[kami_ni_boi]

ganun ba sis, expensive nga. binawasan kasi suppliers sa woodgrove kaya limited lang talaga options namin.saan pala venue mo?

[kami_ni_boi]

mga sis help naman, anyone who knows an air conditioned church around san fernando? aside from Blessed Trinity and San Agustine? thank you..

[mkga]

kami_ni_boi, yes pricey talaga sila pero quality food talaga. Wala silang styling na included sa package. Table, chairs at linens lang provide nila. My reception venue is Woodgrove.

Airconditioned church I got is Chancery. San Augustin is also airconditioned kaya lang when I inquired they don't accept reservations yet since mag-papalit ng parish priest. My sister got married at the church sa Pilar Village. Maganda at airconditioned also.

[kami_ni_boi]

mkga, separate stylist pa ang kukunin mo? naginquire din ako sa San Agustine, di pa nga sila nagaaccept ng bookings same with Blessed Trinity kasi magpapalit din ng Parish Priest. pareho pala tayo sa woodgrove.  i'll try sa Chancery. thank you.

Also Salmon and Lemon Catering, baka nasubukan nyo na rin. thank u!

[sweetdina08]

Thanks bro Apocalypse

^^sis yung family friend ni h2b who owns a resort si asuncion de grande ang highly recommended nya na caterer. ADM daw lagi kinukuha nila everytime they have an event. food masarap, setup maganda. kinoconsider ko din sila. ang question na lang sakin is pasok ba sa budget ko. i have a meeting with them this weekend. will give feedback how it goes.

[sey_b2b]

musta na mga sissies? how's your prep?

I'm happy to know na marami naman palang pampanga-based na caterer at least may ibang options

Happy preps sissies!

[neng10]

^oo nga sis, marami ding palang pampanga based caterers. konti kasi ang feedback dito sa GT kaya nagtatanong tanong din sa mga kakilala based sa mga experience nila.

[kami_ni_boi]

hi sis neng10! we just had a meeting with ADM this morning. and 95% gusto na namin sa kanila. they discussed the different packages. and medyo pricey lang yung nagustuhan namin. pero sa tingin kasi namin okay na yun. kasi all tiffany chairs na and masusunod yung theme namin with no added cost na.

kasama narin yung cake, upgrade nalang namin para masunod yung peg namin.which is makakamura parin compared pag sa iba kami kukuha.nagcanvass narin kasi ako.

mabait sila kausap,and honestly sila lang ang mabilis magreply sa lahat ng accredited suppliers sa venue namin. kaya panatag naman ako.and nabasa ko pa message mo, 99% sila na siguro kukunin namin. thank you sis! post ka din ng feedback sa meeting nyo ha..

[neng10]

^i'm happy to hear that sis. excited na din ako, bukas pa kasi ang meet up ko sa ADM. si ms sonia din ba kausap mo? I actually plan on having the tiffany chairs. malaki ba ang difference ng mono blocks to tiffany? im actually contemplating about it. i want the tiffany chairs to be tagged as non-negotiable for my wedding. pero baka naman sa kaartehan ko eh lumagpas kami sa budget.

in one of the caterers that I talked to kasi if i want the tiffany chairs, 100php each.

[kami_ni_boi]

naku sis, ako din worried, iniisip ko na baka sobrang arte ko lang at gusto ko talaga ng tiffany chairs.di na sana yung package na yun ang plan namin kunin (well, di pa naman talaga kami nagconfirm) but then they said if we avail that no added cost na sa set up ng theme namin.and i thought i will only add 100 from the package that we previously decided to have.and meron ng soup, appetizer,5 main dish, 1 pasta, 2 drinks, 2 deserts..and i showed them yung set up ng flowers sa tables na gusto namin, and how to apply yung motif namin, sabi nila maganda nga. simple but elegant and they can do that daw.

lumagpas sa budget yung gusto ko. but i asked naman c fiance and nagustuhan din nya ang proposal nila.and compared dun sa ibang quotations that i got from the other caterers, i think they're much better talaga kasi ang dami na ng food, with theme na and bonus narin yung chairs na gusto hehe

si ms. sonia, hubby nia and son ang nakausap namin kanina. if we avail the monoblocks no theme. naisip ko nga kailangan pa ba talaga ng theme? o arte ko lang din?

[neng10]

sis nakausap ko na din si ms sonia and hubby dads kanina. upon talking to them, nagkaron ako ng this is it feeling. i like them already. though its too early, meron na akong feeling of trust na magiging maganda ang kasal ko if sila ang kukunin ko. they seem very good at what they do. mababait pa kausap, they listen and give assurance na they can make my wedding like how we want it.
btw, ikaw ba yung march 2014 bride? they mentioned kasi kanina.

[kami_ni_boi]

sis same feeling here...baka ako nga yun,hehe.. pwede ko ba itanong kung anong plan mong kuning package sa kanila? wala pa talaga kaming definite date, which i explained to them kung bakit. kaya ngyon iniisip ko kung yung "wants" ko ba ang kukunin ko o yung "needs" ko lang talaga. i have my list of estimates and dun palang nalulula na ko.

[neng10]

^sis we plan on getting the premium package. kakayanin pa kasi pumasok sa budget namin. but we need to be very firm of our target number of guests. food is very important kasi, gusto ko aalis na masaya at busog ang mga guests. we're trying to set priorities straight.. food is number 1, second na lang ang styling. kaya ako natutuwa kasi we can have both at a lower price. what i also like about ADM, maluwag sila sa payment terms.

basta pasok sa budget sis, go na! i was able to get cheap alternatives kasi for my other suppliers. h2b and I are on our own sa planning and gastos for our wedding. kaya we really need to  work around our budget. malapit na kami magover board. now plan ko a lot of DIYs.

hello mga sisses.. and to bro.. musta na ang mga wedding preps? Happy Easter!!!
just got back from our honeymoon in Coron.. super saya kaso super itim ko naman ngayon.. hmmm.. hindi pa ako preggy.. kasi pag uwi namin from the trip, dinatnan na ako.. hehe..

last sunday, we surprised our father for his 60th bday.. d'sis pa din catering na kinuha namin.. super happy mga guest kasi masarap pa din.. 6k total for 50 guests.. 1 pasta, 3 main meals.. pero food lang talaga, no other utensils.. 1 lichon from lec's, 4k good for 50 pax.. customized cake with edible 3d character, 1.8k for 1 layer from sweet creations..

got to know 1 caterer din.. fiesta sa pinsan ko and nagpa cater siya.. super sarap talaga ng mga foods.. 9k daw for 100 pax.. may pasta, 5 main meals (1 seafoods).. ang location nila sa unisite daw.. d ko alam yung name pero malapit sa Assumption University.. if anyone interested, ask ko cousin ko for the contact no..

lesson learned, if may good caterer kang alam pero hindi pa good sa styling or catering lang talaga ang offer, go na.. madami pang options to get supplier na for styling lang.. may caterer kami na we got for house reception last wedding, cost us 17k good for 150 pax, 5 meals na.. kaso hindi ko naconsider dahil nga catering lang siya.. no styling ang other stuffs needed for the reception.. pwedi pala na iba iba ang suppliers.. hindi naman mahirap kausapin.. piece of advise lang po..

happy preps!!!

[kami_ni_boi]

sis neng, pareho tayo.kami lang din ni h2b ang nagpaplano and gagastos for the wedding. and mahirap kasi we are on a tight budget talaga. kaya lang kahit pilipitin ko na leeg ko di talaga kakasya yung first budget na naiset na namin.  kaya i agree on you about ADM. their standard packages may set up na unlike dun sa iba na food lang yun. are you planning to get their other services, because they offer almost everything. they have nga a complete package but i personally want to choose my other suppliers..if you don't mind sis, may i ask who are your other suppliers? specially your p/v?

i also have a DIY project, my entourage bouquets and mga corsage. konti lang naman sila so baka kayanin ko pa.

sis andylhen, interested ako dun sa caterer nung cousin mo.maybe in some other occasions try namin sila. baka sa binyag ng pamangkin ko.sa venue kasi namin accredited caterers lang dapat. TIA!
