Caterers Part 8

[tinaydacanay]

masarap ba talaga m foods? so far eto yung mga choices ko for catering:
blu plates (under pd) - american food kasi. baka magustuhan ni hubby (kano kasi iba panlasa) at medyo paulit ulit na yung mga handa sa weddings. imagine umattend ako ng 3 weddings this month and halos makabisado ko na regular menu ng pang-kasal. not to mention ang walang katapusang fish fillet na madalas malimig i-serve haha 
purple dish - i like their menu choices kamusta nga pala sila lately parang may mga nega feedback
josiah's - pinipilit ako nila mommy. ae ata or hindi ko alam basta nag-work kasi dati tita ko dun for years so makaka-discount ata kami and hindi "raw" kami papabayaan. basta si tita mag-wowork ng freebies and discounts namin. sana okay. fave ko lengua nila 
k by cunanan - maganda daw styling?
m foods - may nakita akong gt rave dito. nacurious tuloy
red chef - same lang din nito^

nung una, parang gusto ko passioncooks kaso feeling ko di kaya ng budget ko haha anyway may mga ma-rerecommend pa ba kayo sis? gusto talaga namin itry lahat bago mag-decide and baka mas masarap pa kasi yung mga bago kesa dun sa mainstream caterers who knows. baka mas affordable din mahaba haba pa naman ang oras bago ang big day!!

tinaydacanay our caterer when we got married last May 2014 was Julio's Catering ok naman maraming freebies, less hassle, maganda rin ang styling nasunod nila yung gusto ko. nabook namin sila sa Themes and Motiffs and i assure you masarap talaga ang food nila. 😄 when we attended the wedding last Jan16 sla rin ang caterer, at nagkita pa kami nung AE namin. Ok naman ang services nila.

sis tinaydacanay, we booked M Catering & Fine Foods.
hindi pa tapos ang wedding namin so di pa talaga ako pwede mag-supplier review sa kanila pero so far sa 12 caterers na nakapag-ft kame eh sa kanila talaga kame nasarapan tsaka malapit kase sila sa venue namin so plus points. si sis juwie kinuha sila for pamamanhikan at nasarapan din sya. 
ang madadagdag ko lang na comments sa mga caterers na nabanggit mo based on FT events na napuntahan namin ay eto:
PD: good food. may mga brides na super satisfied meron ding hinde. ayon sa mga reviews na nababasa ko eh mostly staff/customer service ang issue nila not so food.
Josiah's: overall, ok lang ang food. may hit/miss pero kung makakakuha ka ng bonggang discounts sa kanila, then certainly worth considering dahil pricey talaga ang caterers.
KbyC: para saken ok lang din ang food nila. but kung styling ang usapan, sobrang ok talaga nila. kahit basic lang they really make it nice. ang medyo struggle lang with them is communication dahil maraming nakaka-experience sa matagal na replies nila. so tyaga lang if you really want them.

basta sis habang matagal pa, FT lang ng FT! maximize nyo na yung opportunities para makapag-compare kayo at ma-experience firsthand yung food at service. it's nice to read reviews & feedbacks pero iba pa din talaga pag ikaw mismo yung andun.

Mga sis! Any Queensland bride here? Naghahanap kami ng caterer na masarap at maganda styling and si MIL and h2b natry na nila queensland msarap daw tlaga but styling wala silang idea. Asa ganung price-range kasi ang budget namin and si QCS lang ang alam kong mura. Ill check din si Bistro 109. Yung venue kasi namin may corkage na 30k pag di nila acredited and JC, Towns and Richgold lang accredited nila.

BTW, norm ba talaga na more than 1k/ head ang catering sa kasal? Sulit ba yun?

[astarte]

^ may mga budget-friendly caterers naman sis.. Bistro 109 bride here (December 2014) and P550 per head kami plus 10% SC wala naman din kasi sila nung 12% VAT so [textspeak!] service charge lang talaga ang on top ng per head namin and hindi naman din ako particular sa styling, okay na samin basic lang kasi maganda naman basic setup nila especially the lighted buffet table.

mas naging particular kami sa quality of food nila, plates, utensils, glasswares, etc. na walang visible scratches and linens na parang brand new, plus factor din na neat and well groomed din ang service staff maganda din uniform nila na napansin ng guests. lahat malinis and mga gamit nila alam mo talagang high quality. we had soup, bread, salad, 4 main dishes, rice, pasta, 4 kinds of dessert and sa drinks okay din kasi may soda, iced tea, water, coffee and tea. smooth transaction din kami sa kanila from query to FT to our last minute requests hehe until on the day and very happy naman kami kasi we got more than we paid for so isa na yata kami sa mga couples na less than 1k per head ang budget.

Bukod sa three desserts, may iba pa bang freebie na naibibigay si k by cunanan? Kunwari photobooth or bridal car etc? Parang kuripot sa freebies? Pero we reservrd them na bcos of all of the raves here and their styling sa fb pics. we wont mind losing 10k if may mas tatalbog sa kanila by a mile. But if wala naman mas hihigit, game na game pa rin kami sa kanila

[j.adore]

Either that or box of wine ang freebies nila when you book them at bridal fairs. It's not really kuripot because they're not stingy with their styling naman.

If you want bongga freebies, Hizons has that. Forgot ano pa ang may ganun na packages.

[yannuh]

^hi sis. Nakapagpaquote at nakapagfood tasting ako ke Queensland. Si Kat Penaflor supposedly ang AE ko, yung 770/pax yung pinromote nya sken kasi medyo upgraded yung styling nun however namamahalan ako sa delivery charge+vat+sc nila kahit ipawaive yung vat. Tapos bawat galaw me bayad (water, etc). Sarap ang food, try mo din makipagmeet and magfood tasting para macheck mo:)

[dcpdane]

thanks sis j.adore! yung mobile bar nila may idea kayo magkano?

[donselle]

hello sis f878! pa-email naman po ng rates ng M Catering. hindi din sila kasi nagre-respond sa emails ko pati sa FB message eh. TIA!

[f878]

sis donselle please pm me your email add and i'll send you what i have.
but 2014 rates lang ang meron ako ah.. though worth checking out na din siguro para may idea ka sa package inclusions.

[annedarwin]

Hi mga sis! Has anyone heard of or tried Jennyrei's catering?

[weddingbelle]

My brother and I went to Queensland FT last sat, Jan 24. Hindi namin nagustuhan yung food esp the Lasagna. Masarap yung pork with bbq sauce and yung chicken with garlic. The rest so-so. Willing na sana ako magbayad ng corkage na 30k sa venue ko kung QCS kukunin ko kasi pasok pa din sa budget namin. Lahat ng pic na posted sa FB nila upgraded yun, meaning yung 770++.

Mag Richgold nalang ako, since accredited sila ng venue namin (3 lang sila accredited, Towns, JC and Richgold) plus super dali kausap ni Grace! Ipupush nya talaga kung ano lang nasa budget mo and I heard na no need for styling si Richgold dun sa basic set up nila. Crossing my fingers na okay kami sa FT nila. Ayoko mag Towns and Juan Carlo dahil over 1k/ head na sila.

[donselle]

sis f878 my email add: giselle.maminta@gmail.com

[charmed30]

@sis weddingbelle, i read a post here which says not to get richgold because of the stress that they've given. You may want to backread.

[juwie]

Richgold is accredited ulit sa venue namin.. Mag FT kami sa Feb 15 sa Eton Centris. Haven't read the negative feedback. hanapin ko nga. Anyway, kailangan na talaga namin humanap ng caterer dahil sa November na kami.

[vitug.annie]

^sis juwie, sino nalahat napagpilian mong caterers sis?

[juwie]

M Catering, KbyC, Juan Carlo yan ang nasa shortlist namin sis vitug.annie.. yung iba na accredited ng GG nitry namin di namin nagustuhan..

[glacy_rein]
