Much much better and mas masarap pa food ng Hizon's compare sa Shekinah, sumikat lang naman Shekinah because of some celebrity debutantes pero maganda sila magstylings infairness.

[sakura30]

Sis aylatskie, buti niretouch ka. Medyo makulit nga si Val sa payment. Sa preps venue pa lang din sinasabi na niya sakin. Sabi ko nasa OTD ko na lahat ng payments.

Sis sparkilingjewel, oo Sis patapusin muna ang services before nyo ibigay ang full payment.

Thank you sa heads up sa Shekinah. My sister is getting married next year and she's considering them. Okay daw nga kase sila sa styling.  I'll share the feedback I got from here. 

[aylatskie]

Sis sakura30 nag retouch siya sa akin kasi wala kami pre nup so trial make up Lang sa studio niya. Tinatawanan ko na lang kasi when I went home after my trial make up nag text siya sabi [textspeak!] 50% daw Ng remaining balance ko dapat daw bayaran Ko na since no pre nup. Hanep naman ang lolo na ito makasingil. It was not mention in the contract even. That's why I've never given him a tip or token after his service because  turned off talaga ako sa attitude niya. Past is past sis. Alam na natin next time.

[rashimeh]

We've got Shekinah for our wedding in January. Ok naman lahat ng FT namin sa kanila. We've went to 3 FTs nila. consistent naman [textspeak!] food and we really loved it. We've tried din other caterers before them. And we did not booked them because of their styling. Basic nga lang package namin cause we are after the food

[charmed30]

^congrats sis!
Regarding Blooms 2710, may i know how much ang price range nila? Up to know, hindi pa din ako nakakabook ng event stylist.

[Missus O]

^congrats and best wishes sweetieanne18 Don't worry since magaling naman ang photographer mo, magiging maganda ka pa din sa pics. At least graduate ka na

[pinaydiaspora]

Congrats sis sweetieanne18 ganda ng SDE mo Grabe naman experience mo with Mariah. She was on my top 3 HMUA list kasi she did my friend's wedding a year ago so far ok experience ng friend ko and she really looked gorgeous? Add the fact din na recommended siya ng P/V and coordinator ko. Plus she's known doing make up of celebs diba? Yun lang when I asked for her rate medyo expensive sa initial budget namin. Buti na lang din we didn't end up with her though. Heads up na lang sa ibang b2bs.

Sis can I ask how much quotation pala ng Blooms2710 sayo! Thanks.

[rienny25]

Thanks for posting your review sis sweetieanne18.  Congratulations & Best wishes sa inyo ni hubby mo.  Gail is also our photographer and same tayo ng HMUA.  I first read your review about Mariah sa Hair and Makeup thread.  I started to get worried dahil sa totoo lang, among our suppliers, sa kanya yung napaparanoid ako to the point na napapanaginipan ko.  I told her aware ako sa ganyan and so far, hindi pa siya nagrereply.  May previous incident kasi na nag-cancel siya sa isang b2b na sis din natin dito.  I emailed her and told her I want to ensure na the same incident will not happen to me.  She replied naman agad pero this time, I'll give her until next week to reply.  Otherwise, mag-ooverseas call talaga ako. 

[pogi02]

I agree with you, sis cornflakegirl.
Dapat talaga, know your suppliers thoroughly and never get tired of reading feedbacks about them.
It's so much better if magaan ang loob mo sa supplier mo. Kasi you'll never know kung aalagaan ka ba nila or pababayaan on your big day.

[tiffany24]

Best wishes sis sweetieanne18 

[reese17]

Just had our wedding a few weeks ago! Whew! Here are some of my supplier reviews although I don't think I can finish them all. Part 1 nalang muna.

Venue: Enderun (5/5)
Loved my AE, Christine, from the very beginning. On the first day I made a phone call to Enderun to inquire about their packages, she replied after a few hours with their complete rates, rules, conforme template, etc. She even sent their menu! It was so easy working with her and she patiently answered all of my questions/emails.

We were initially worried about the food because to be honest, our food tasting sessions were so-so but come wedding day, people said that the food was fantastic especially the carving station (crisp Kurobota pork belly)! We also substituted one dish for pasta vongole and I was really pleased to find huge (and fresh) clams. We also had a lot of leftovers and up to 2 days after the wedding, ang sarap pa rin! Best part: everything was so reasonably priced. We paid about Php 1,300 per head.

Was very happy with the service of the waiters, their staff and even their gardeners! Hehe. The garden was well manicured and they switched on all the lights so the place looked really pretty at night.

Coordinator: Empire Weddings (5/5)
EW isn't as popular on online forums or wedding blogs but I've heard so many past brides and suppliers rave about their service. I had one meeting with Agnes and Jeo then I was sold. Booked them immediately and had no regrets. Agnes is super OC (like me!) and to quote my MoH, "nakakakilig yung mga Excel files niya" She helped me find my suppliers and designed my entire reception program. Stress-free!!!

On the weeks leading up to the wedding day, I didn't panic because Agnes was on top of everything. She would summarize our meetings with minutes and email me all the reminders I had to take note of. On the wedding day, there were issues with my flowers but she got them fixed without my even knowing. I just made a simple comment about my bouquet and the color of the flowers tapos the next thing I knew, ayos na.

Photography: J Lucas Reyes (5/5)
Love, love, love J. His photos were so classy and he was so patient! He knew how to favor my best angle (I told him I prefer my left side being shot and throughout the entire wedding, he would really shoot most of the photos from that angle!) and his entire team was very pro. They worked so well with my videographer's team, who coincidentally is another photographer (strange set-up, I know, but I like RV's shooting style when it comes to videos kasi) -- I had initial worries about them working kasi baka mag-agawan sa angles or lighting or shots, but they worked seamlessly and everyone was so polite and nice to one another. In fact, people asked me if my photo and video team were the same!

Our ceremony took longer than expected so I was a bit sad that we didn't get to shoot outside Enderun with the sun setting na but J made the most out of it with his camera. The night shots turned out really nice. I don't have a copy of our wedding photos as of now but will post a sample as soon as we get back home

Videographer: RV Mitra Photography (5/5)
I discovered RV's video skills when I attended a friend's wedding in December 2014. After looking at so many mid-range videographers, we settled on RV because the storytelling is natural and light. (There's some acting involved but you can ask them to keep this at a minimum and they'll actually remember that.) RV and his marketing head, Leo, were always quick to reply and had no issues that we chose another photographer to cover our wedding. Even if RV wasn't present during our wedding day, he sent a GREAT team and acknowledged all my requests via email.

In the end, they produced an SDE which was really lovely and heartwarming. Kept crying while watching it.

(On a shallow note: I'm also quite pleased with their music selection. I gave them a few bands which I favored and they got the mood I wanted!)

Can't wait for the cinematic highlights video. For brides that are looking for a great storyteller, consider RV. His video package was VERY REASONABLE!

Will post part 2 soon!

[Maxim04]

Here's a quick rundown of my suppliers. 5 being the highest. 

Review of suppliers

Church : San Antonio de Padua, Pooc, Silang -rate 5/5
This church isn't our first choice, but when my husband went to do ocular, napabunot na sia agad ng wallet! All the church people are so nice, ate baby, tita gary, ate flor, they are super nice! The priest who interview us is also super bait. When we asked him kung anong gusto nila for offertory, straight away they told us instead of giving them fruits and chocolates, laundry soap, chlorox at cleaning materials nalang raw. The ambiance is also perfect. The old church is so cozy and even the inside, very solemn ang feeling.

Preparation venue : The hills @ Silang 4/5
Proximity to San Antonio De Padua church is superb. Its just 5 minutes away. Price is acceptable. 20 pax can sleep overnight, 8 bedrooms, with private pool. However, there's kakaiba. (Pm nalang ako ng interested sa place na to, can't disclose here )

Reception : Villa Ibarra Tagaytay 4.5/5
The food is awesome and super dami! Though we only had 150 guests, what they catered is parang for 170 pax pa. our event coordinator was hershey, but few months ago, she resigned. And apparently, hindi masyadong na handover sa new AE (ariane joi) ang detailing namin which was done last April. So this new AE is asking me few days ahead about sa style ng cake, sa color ng cake, sa table runner, sa table cloth, parang i find it medyo iresponsible, asking the couple during the last minute? Otherwise, the catering, cake, car, souvenirs, all were superb!

Coordinator : Imbitado events 4/5
Most of our guests unang napansin - organized ang wedding namin. From the details to handover ng items after the event, they are hands on. My husband's Assistant that day was nico, he is so nice and super attentive sa needs ni hubby. Mine was Varna. First time she entered the room,nag aayos kasi sa amin ang HMUA, she didnt introduced herself to me. Nakailang balik na siya sa room then when Their head coordinator and i had a run down, sabi ko kay Ayie, hindi nagpakilala yung Assistant ko for the day. Sagot niya, ayaw lang daw nila muna maka interrupt during make up time. Ayie has a point pero madali lang naman magpakilala ng sarili diba. 😊 anyways, Varna made sure na kumain ang lahat ng nasa bridal room. She even made a note dun sa packed lunch na "bride -dont skip your meal". Isnt it sweet. 👍🏼 she did likewise for the mothers, abay too. ☺️
Turnover is crucial. Weeks ahead i am preparing those stuffs na, like mga DIY - misallette, tags, placecards, frames, and so many more.  So on the wedding day, we have so many boxes to hand over. Nasa 5 ata yun. Maayos naman ang handling nila basta maayos din ang turnover ng items at may instructions kahit maliit na bagay. 😊

Host : Ayie Contreras-Tuates of Imbitado events 5/5
When we met her personally, she is a soft spoken woman. But we when we heard her hosting, OMG! San galing ang boses na yun?! She did a great job!! Really awesome! Very lively ang program and hindi scripted! 


Photo and Video: Santiago Alfonso Fotografia -  6/5
to the highest level ang love namin sa team na to! Initially its like client and proprietor thing. But after the wedding, we felt like we will miss especiAlly the bonding. The friendship that we gained along the way is magical. They were the last group to leave Ibarra that night. The program ended around 8pm but we still had kwentuhan outside ibarra while watching the fog.
The surprise drone is 😍😍😍. Isnt it amazing?! We are really blown away! The whole team is very cool and kalog. Jep & Jes have a great team. All of them are fantastic. From pApa chuy, prince, ethan, and the rest of the gang, perfect!
I personally never felt tired that day, because i believe all of our team did excellent part. I never get tired smiling. And kung sila ang photo video team, we will never get tired smiling for them!

Our Save the date : https://vimeo.com/140512919

Here's our SDE:  https://vimeo.com/142357996

HMUA : Julius Ramil Marquez and team - Michelle Legaspi, Joseph & Shella. 6/5
I booked him last January thru a very close friend and i browsed Julius' works - Simple yet stunning. Ayoko kasi ng makapal ang make up at nag iiba ang mukha na malayo sa katotohanan after maayusan. Then got this feeling na -  He is the one. Nag proper contract signing lang kami during the pre nuptial photo last July. Pati ayos ng hair, wala akong masabi. Very professional sila. Call time nung wedding day was 7am. Andun sila before 7 am. Super kalog pa ng team niya ang go din sa kaingayan ng friends ko sa bridal room. My second look was also simple.  His team is highly recommended.By the way, His calendar of events is fully occupied kahit hindi siya nag babridal fair. Ganun siya kagaling! 

Wedding singers : Infinite Soul acoustic team Monica 5/5
They are the one singing sa church, until our reception. Goosebumps ang performance nila at super galing! Andun pa lang kami ni hubby sa taas, naririnig na namin ang band during the cocktails. During the reception, aliw na aliw ang guests at they even say na magaling ang band! They were entertained from the beginning till the end of the progrAm. A friend told me pa nga, she thought its just a CD playing, its live daw pala!! Monica's voice is like an Angel, uncomparable. Thanks to her team, highly recommended!

Couture : Lorren Rosaroso - Tomarong 4/5
When i was young nakikinita ko na ang gown ko, very simple ang skirt but not so elegant ang taas. Ayoko ng nakafocus ang guest ko sa intricate details ng gown - yes it counts, pero i still go for the KISS- keeping it simple and stunning.  Ate lorren's style matched my peg. At shempre pasok sa banga ang price! Walang naging problem sa sukat ko, but dun sa mga abay lang, minor adjustments. My husband's suit is superb. Issue was the collection date, hindi nasunod at umabot kami sa collection na 3 days before the wedding instead na one month ahead. Ok lang naman kasi malapit lang naman ang place nila. Second thing was, late sila one the wedding day. Past 11 na sila nakarating, may minor adjustments din sa abay. But i am so particular sa time, ayoko ng late.

Kris kristian balloons - 5/5
They arrived ahead and no hassle having transaction with them. I Recommend them especially those na ikakasal sa Pooc, this church doesnt allow poppers, rose, bigas, coins shower.

Invitations : imbitasyon Jumbo 2/5
Got one invitation for 60/piece. The invites is so simple but elegant. The only hassle was during the collection. Usapan kasi na 3PM ang collection, my husband went there on time but sila itong hindi pa pala prepared. 7PM na nAkaalis ang hubby ko sa place nila. Again, i am particular sa time. Not recommending them.

Lights and sounds : Estone Lights & Sounds c/o Patrick Perey 5/5
First thing i noticed when we got inside Ibarra was the bright LED lights! Elegant ang dating and the sounds was awesome!! During the cocktails, lights were dancing! Moreover, in order for you band to deliver the best music,  we must provide the best speakers, floor monitor speakers, and etc!!

Florist : Flowers Unlimited 2.5/5
Church arrangements - yes, they provided yung gusto namin na arc. But no wow factor. Luckily the church itself is already pretty. Our bouquets are quite wilted. You can notice flowers that are falling one by one agad. Unworthy for the price. Not recommending them.

[janagirl]

Congratulations and best wishes Maxim04 and reese17. Lovely brides!

sis Maxim04, can you share the rate of Lorren Rosaroso - Tomarong? I'm looking for entou mananahi (kahit di designer) na magaling gumaya ng pegs. Kaya ba ang budget na less than 2k? TIA!

[2016_May_Bride]

hi sis chiarm, nakakatrauma naman ang ginawa nila sa wedding mo. i hope you feel better na. tiningnan ko din ang fb page nila, grabe nanggigigil ako sa post nila, to think na client ka nila and event mo ang naapektohan dahil sa kanila. Naghahanap pa naman ako ng Coordinator ngaun, sana makahanap ako ng maayos na coordinator.
