Sis iamdimple_716 I booked Angel of Hearts. The one I was able to speak to was the owner, Ms Lorry Jean. I felt her sincerity naman when it comes to helping you lessen the cost of the styling, and their works are great! If you're the hands-on type bride, you might just opt for them kasi kahit Dangwa florist, you can feel naman the elegance and edge of their work, and since madali sila kausap, you can tell them what you really want. Minsan kasi pag super pro na yung stylist, mahihiya ka not to trust what they tell you, kahit di mo masyadong feel. Saka mas practical din, since the more expensive stylists usually get flowers din naman from the Dangwa bagsakan. Tapos if you haggle with Ms Lorry Jean she would accommodate that naman.

Hello! Newbie here!

December 2014 bride here! Got engaged November 2013, but only started planning (by myself) at the start of this year. Na-realize ko na mahirap na pala makahanap at this time ng suppliers na affordable yet really delivers, lalo na for a peak month like December. And that I should've gotten a wedding coordinator early on pa lang. Here are my booked suppliers so far:

Church: St. Alphonsus Mary de Liguori Parish Church (Magallanes)
Reception: Marriott Hotel Manila (Newport)
Caterer: c/o Marriott
Bridal Car: c/o Marriott
Cake: c/o Marriott
Wedding rings: Marry Me (Market! Market!)
Bridal bouquet: c/o h2b's colleague
Flowers: c/o mother's friend

Still a long way to go! Kinakabahan na ako, feeling ko sobrang behind na ko sa pagbook.
Help din sana mga sis sa pagpili kung sino ang ibook ko for the following (not arranged in order of preference):
Photographer: Dominic Barrios / Sunday Morning Studios / Ian Celis
Videographer: Digital Light Images (DLI films) / MG Digital Studio / Ian Celis /
Coordinator: Chi Abarquez of Once a Bride / Jets and Rhona Battung
Host: Mallory Casio / Darlene Tan-Salazar / Missy Litao / Ellen Celis-Timbol / Vet Lauzon
Gown: Von Lazaro / Mel Orlina / Gretchen Pichay / Boy Kastner Santos / Kristel Yulo / Carla Ignacio / Ammon Velasco

Any personal reviews will help! Thank you!

[moonstar_004]

^for all the suppliers you haven't booked, you'll see a lot more feedback if you go to the thread of each one.

[dra.3cia]

^ Thanks moonstar_004! Before I joined GT, I actually have been lurking around the forum for quite some time looking at feedback. Just wanted to get opinion lang din na if given these choices for suppliers, sinong kukunin nyo? Hirap magdecide!

Update of choices:
Videographer: Digital Light Images (DLI films) / Ian Celis / Zoombox Wedding

[Adam1025]

^sis as per your mentioned list of prospective suppliers, lahat naman yan magagaling. It will just be a matter of preference. I have personal experience with Darlene Tan-Salazar as our host, and she's great smart and helpful. But it will still depends on what mood ang gusto mo sa reception. Regarding P/V, check mo sis portfolio nila then compare mo ang style pareho naman magaling zoombox and ian celis. But for us we got IGS Cinema by Lec maybe you may want to check their portfolio din baka gusto mo ang style nila. Maybe you can set a meeting for each of them para makita mo din kung may rapport kayo? Importante din kasi yun bukod sa magaling swak ang personality nyo and maging comfortable ka sa harap ng camera. Then for your gown lahat ng namention mo magaling, so it will depend again sa style and budget mo na din.

Good luck to you sis, medyo dapat mas madami ka na ma-book ngayon since peak season ang December ang disappointing na part kasi is yung nagustuhan mo ang supplier pero not available na on your wedding date.. Happy preps!
