I had my wedding done with PD 2 weeks ago. Even before the wedding ang hirap na makipag-communicate sa kanila. We had final FT and detailing at the same time kasi we are overseas couple. (first FT is done by my SIL) magulo sila kausap, take note kasama ko pa coordinator ko nun. we had our final FT along with other couples na potential customer pa lang, kaya hindi nila kami masyado nabigyan ng time. (maybe because fully paid na kami? haha I don’t know)
the AEs when we asked them about styling, they can't give specific answers. they would always say, “itatanong ko po sa stylento”. we wanted to get another stylist kasi for our backdrops, VIP table styling, etc and we wanted to offset sana, pero hindi nga nila alam equivalent nun kapag sa iba mo kukunin. we wanted sana additional food na lang in exchange of the things we will source out, pero wala kami nakuha definite na sagot. in the end, no choice na lang kaya nauwi din kami lahat sa stylento. I had no problem naman re: styling kasi I’m not too fussy about it.
we had the first & final serious meeting that's just us, my coordinator & the AE just 3days before the wedding, o diba? sobrang last minute. dun lang kami nakapagbrainstorm re: floor plan ng venue, style details etc.
my concerns came out the wedding day. My MIL & SIL were not served dinner in the same time as with the other VIPs in their table, nakakain na lahat nun VIP s table nila. so ang nangyari nauna pa nila nakain ang dessert bago main dish. we were at the stage and we witnessed how many times nag-follow up yung SIL ko sa main dish nila.
the supposed brewed coffee were not brewed at all! my SIL said it sure tasted just like 3-in-1. Maybe they thought we couldn't tell the difference. she even had to tell the waiter to ask the guests/VIPs if they wanted coffee kasi nafeel nya walang initiative yung waiter and not all guests naman knew that there's coffee for them.
i sent a peg for the cake pero sobrang layo. I even asked the AE 3x about it and she assured me makukuha yun. pero NO, mukha lang siyang sponge cake na pinahiran ng icing, maybe because freebie lang kaya hindi na sila nag-effort. kahiya hiya yung cake na yun. I don't even want to remember it.
we supposed to have after party, pero after magconclude ng emcee, around 930pm naturally some of the guests left na especially our VIPs, which is understandable dahil may mga edad na naman. but nagulat na lang kami nagliligpit na ang PD. My coordinator asked the PD representative bakit nagliligpit na. and they said dahil hanggang 10PM lang daw reservation. Take note: kumakanta pa ang band namin and most of our friends stayed dahil nga my mobile bar pa kami for the supposed after party event., may nagsasayaw pa pero sila tuloy lang sa ligpit. nakakabastos diba? ang dami tuloy nagtanong sa amin hanggang what time ang reservation.
Yung venue namin, one event per day sila. so we can stay up until 2am. I dont know saan nila nakuha ang 10PM deadline. My coordinator later found out na may hinahabol daw 11am event the next day. (so what diba?!)
the band finished their set na nakaligpit na lahat and buti na lang our L&S stayed up until maubos namin drinks sa mobile bar, so kahit paano may music kami,
Im just thankful na mabait lahat ng guests namin kaya naoverlook na lang yun flaws na yun. and we were so happy that time that we refused to let those things ruin the night.
yung coordinator ko ang galit na galit, binash nya sa FB page nya, along with pictures as proofs.
