Hi mga sis! I had queensland for my wedding last Jan 2 and my daughter's christening last jan 4. We got queensland for the following reasons:
1. We live in las pinas so malapit Lang. And no more unnecessary charges like OOT
2. Cheap compared to the others. We didn't want to spend much on the wedding. (We just spent a little more than 400k for a wedding with 150 guests without us getting discounts from any bridal fair. We only had 3 months to prepare kasi and walang fair that time.Haha! )
3. Ran out of choices.. Kbyc was booked, passion cooks was hard to reach, purple dish was almost same price range ng Kbyc but malayo from
Us and we just had a couple of months to prepare
So far okay naman. I was initially pushing to get the diamond package since ka-price lang nya yung Kbyc if we will add cocktails, Tapos kasama sa package yung salmon and angus
Beef, and because of the styling by Madel (since Henry Pascual is charging me
200k for styling alone) but hubby said na he has attended a friend's wedding and he wasn't impressed.
So we opted for the emerald which included the angus and just upgraded our drinks to bottomless and upgraded to salmon.
So far everything was sulit naman and masarap. Our only comment was di namin namaximiZe yung bottomless since they wouldn't really go around to pour iced tea on empty glasses. They'll give you if you'll ask eh our guests were not informed so yun. They all liked the salmon. And Hindi sya mukhang tinipid

For the styling naman, I sent Michelle my pegs. Initially wanted low-lying floral centerpieces with lots of votives. She has been to our reception venue Before and she suggested na since high ceiling sya, better if tall topiaries kami. So naghanap nalang ako kaso imported pala yung choices ko ng flowers so sabi nya, if it's okay with me, they will follow the color palette of the flowers but they will find cheaper alternatives. They turned out really really nice. Na impress naman yung picky sister ko. Di sya mukhang cheap at all.
In one of our meetings, I asked Michelle the difference ng styling for diamond and the emerald. Sabi Nya, mas detailed lang yung sa diamond (since higher budget is alloted) but even if you avail the emerald, they still show it to Madel and she gives her suggestions. Yung panels for the backdrop, they can customize yata if diamond but not all the time. You still get the backdrop sa emerald package. And sa diamond pala, included yung couch for free but sa emerald, you need to pay 2500.
More of sa classic lang kasi yung theme namin so we didn't really need tons of details sa styling. More of flowers lang Talaga ang gusto ko. And I am pleased that we achieved it without spending too much.
