Thank you Girltalk and mga sis for helping us on our wedding preps.
Sorry for the super late reviews, medyo nagging busy na ako after wedding and also medyo maselan pregnancy ko.
Our wedding held last Dec 27, 2014.
Here's the list of our suppliers:
Church: St Francis of Assisi Chapel – Fernwood Gardens
Rating: 8/10
Price: 12,000php
It was indeed a cute chapel! Price wise I think it’s a bit pricey for the size pero maganda sa vid kasi mukhang full talaga since sobrang small lang sya. Yung prob lang namin is nung picture taking na, we had 10 pairs of Godparents so di masyado kasya. And yung coordination siguro since this chapel is under Mt Carmel Parish in Proj 6, we had to coordinate with them as well.
Reception: Fernwood Gardens QC
Rating: 10/10
Price: 80,000php – 90,000php
This venue was beautiful & huge. No need for extra styling since maganda na yung place. Easy to deal with their staff also. Toilets are clean, parking is available, security is good also. Medyo creepy lang yung holding area/preps room since old house na, but nonetheless its almost perfect.
Coordinator: Kredin Events Engineer
Rating: 10/10
Price: 60,000php – full service
Easy to deal with and they’re trustworthy. We got a full service kasi ayaw naming masyado mahirapan sa preps, but kung hands on naman yung ibang brides-to-be, pwedeng pwede na yung on the day service lang. Wala naman kaming naging prob sa team nila. Since day 1 ng preps up to the wedding day very accommodating and assisting sila. Though meron pa rin minor glitches, but I think it was my fault cause I didn’t instruct well na din on the day. But still our wedding was stressed-free because of them. Even the guests are highly appreciative for a smooth and well-planned wedding daw. Parang naging instant friends kami ni Kredin and Hubby nya.
Wedding Preps: Oakwood Premier Joy-Nostagl
Rating: 9/10
Location is good. We got 2 bedroom suite. Medyo naktipid kami kasi nagmember kami to avail the room vouchers with lower rates. 2 bedroom suite costs roughly around 8000php per night.
Caterer: Juan Carlo Catering

Great food, lahat nasarapan and busog na busog. Super dami din namin nakuhang add ons like we had 5 types of dessert, 3 types of pasta, chicken dish was changed to beef kare-kare upon our request so we had 2 beef dishes without extra cost. Lengua and Pumpkin soup were also a winner. Pati yung roast pork with walnuts masarap din. Maganda din yung free bridal car na sinakyan ni groom in replacement of not getting their host. Setup was elegant also. Serving size is big. Satisfied lahat ng guests and wedding suppliers namin. Mabait din yung EA si Mr Al and madaling kausap. The crew are well mannered, accommodating and great service.
Wedding Cake: Alex Franco Cakes
Rating: 10/10
Lahat nasarapan and natuwa sa cake namin. Not the usual wedding cake daw and unique. All our guests loved the taste and the texture. And yung pinakanatuwa sila kasi Mr Alex served it to the guests after dinner. He also down require DP. Reservation is by mouth, upon first meeting you will immediately discuss kung anong style gusto nyo, date, time and place of the event. And he will teach you how to cut the cake. Then your next meeting will be on the event day itself na. Dun na din yung full payment.

Actually di sila yung first choice namin ni hubby, pero nung nakita namin sila sa bridal fair we decided to get them due to the method of payment and discount. And I admit it, na mis-judge ko sila. They’re good with their job. Very professional and they always arrive on time. Kahit medyo late na natapos yung prenup namin full service and with smiles pa din sila. We also love our SDE, nakakaproud, Hahahaha. Ang bilis din ng service nila, kami lang nahirapan bumalik sa kanila since mahirap mamili ng photos sa sobrang daming raw shots. They offered na sila nalang mamimili then send it to us before their printing. Less hassle for us. Fast service as well.
Wedding Teaser: Yabes Films
Rating: 10/10
I’ve known Jonathan Yabes since nakakasama/nagtuturo sya ng video editing here in SG. His profession is in line with advertising and received some awards internationally. He’s very professional. Well, papakwento lang nya yung love story nyo then he will recommend how your vid will flow and if its ok with you magseset na kayo ng schedule ng shoot.
Bridal and Entourage Gowns: Victoria Banayad Couture
Rating: 9/10
She is my hubby’s aunt, service is free. We just bought the fiber and I gave her my chosen design for my wedding gown and entourage gown. I loved all the gowns! Ang bilis din nyang gumawa since yan din profession nya sa Kuwait.
Groom’s Suit and Entourage Suits & Ties: Gardini
Rating: 9/10
Maganda fitting and budget friendly yung suits nila hubby and brother in law. Fast transaction din kahit holiday yung date namin.
Bridal and Entourage Bouquet: KNK Moments and Flowers
Rating: 9/10
KNK Moments and Flowers is a business by Kredin’s hubby. Im not a fan of flowers talaga. But I want my bridal bouquet to have black calla lilies and red/maroon roses pero since imported yun and sobrang mahal, they opted to use what we have nalang. Maganda naman and nagustuhan ko yung arrangement so ok lang. Madali kausap si Rodel, good service and magaganda arrangement nila pati yung candy corner namin ang cute din. Madaming adults na natuwa.
Host: Bianca Saldua
Rating: 10/10
She’s very lively and with pleasing personality. Our guests loves her. No dull moments according to them. She can sing well too. Her services comes with Kredin’s full coordination package.
Church Decors: 15-58 Flowers and Styles
Rating: 10/10
Price: 25,000php
Super natuwa ako sa church set up. Kuhang kuha nila yung instructions ko kahit via email lang mostly yung usap namin. Ang dami din nilang binigay na freebies sa min and binigay nila yung hiningi kong white trees. I super loved them. Hassle-free transaction.
Hair and Make Up: Muriel Vega Perez
Rating: 10/10
I don’t wanna comment on the price since childhood friend ko sya. He really got skills and ang bilis nya mag make up with side chika. Siya na lagi kinukuha ng family namin pag may events.
Bridal Car: Bridal Car Philippines
Rating: 7/10
Not our first choice. We got their vintage top down. Di ko na-anticipate na masyadong malaki yung gown ko for this kind of car. They arrived on time. Madali kausap yung owner. Ang naging minor problem lang namin is si manong driver, di nya alam yung way from hotel to Fernwood, so naging navigator pa ko. Yun lang naman. Nakarating naman kami ng safe and on time.
Wedding Singers/Choir: Muzikqlass Ensemble
Rating: 9/10
Great performance despite we hadn’t got a chance to meet and thank them face to face. They have followed all my instructions very well. Performace level din sila. Our guests loved them. Ang lively ng wedding namin because of them also. Sulit na sulit sila from church to reception.
Photobooth: Shutterbox
Rating: 7/10
Nice printout and makapal yung magnets. Pero I think di masyado nasulit, prang 70 photos lang yung naprint nila and yung booth hindi mo makikita sa camera kung kasya lahat, mag aappear nalang once the photo is taken already. Don’t know what happened bat ganon kya wala ding nakuhang photo in laws ko.
Lechon: Yobab
Rating: 9/10
Nasarapan lahat pati foreign guests namin masaya. Not too salty and not too bland. 1 lechon lang inorder namin for 200pax since meron na din naman roast pork with walnuts. Sulit naman, lahat nakatikim kaso wala silang delivery. Pero taste and quality wise superb.
Entourage Souvenirs: Watch Organizer and Jewellery Box
Rating: 10/10
Price wise ang mura. Elegant din yung dating. Easy transaction pa and mabait si kuyang nagtitinda.
