Suppliers Ratings PART 11 lowest, 5 highestChurch: Christ The King – 4.9/5Church is really solemn, modern, clean, comfortable, not to mention it has ample parking space. The only reason why I didn’t give it a perfect score is because it has glass sliding doors so you really have to provide a curtain for your bridal march. Saka kasi na-hassle kami ni husband when we went there to have our missalettes reviewed, wala palang office that day! Ms. Dodo won’t allow us to email na lang kasi she can’t open daw email attachments. But overall CTK is really good, especially for post-nup pictorials hehe.
Reception: Glass Garden – 5/5I never had any problems dealing with GG. I also like our last AE, Chari, who is so easy to talk to and very efficient in handling my account. Plenty of parking spaces din. We reserved 30 VIP parking slots and she took note of it. The place is so beautiful! According to my guests they felt like they attended a fairytale garden wedding hehe
Photo: Randolf Evan – 5/5At first I thought he was a snob, but he’s really very nice and kalog din! It’s so easy to get along with him and he made me feel comfortable while doing the shoots the entire day. Guests were also impressed with the photos he took and presented during our AVP. Can’t wait to see all the photos he captured!
Video: Ghe Consolacion – 5.5/5I am sooo so happy that I let go of my former videographer, let go of the dp and booked Ghe. I really really love the SDE that he made for us. So much feels! He really knows his craft. Also, Ghe is very down to earth. He tries to connect with you personally and nakikipag kwentuhan pa sya. It made me feel at ease. Two thumbs up talaga.
OTD: Canaan Celebrations by Jets & Rhona – 5.5/5They have once again exceeded my expectations. They were all amazing as in AMAZING during our wedding. When they came to the hotel and started working, tuloy-tuloy na. Lahat ng hindi ko natapos gawin the night before, sila tumapos. I was so stress-free, mga sis. As in wala akong inintindi na kahit ano nung kasal ko. They were right as they told us that on the day we should just let go and only focus on the sacrament of matrimony that we are about to enter. If there were even any problems na nangyari, hindi nakarating sa amin ni husband. Sobrang galing nila mag work. And take note, they were only 4 in the team, but they worked like they were 10. I’ve seen OTDs na andami nila sa team pero hindi kasing efficient nila Jets&Rhona mag work. Sabi ni Jets, hindi raw nya ma explain pero meron daw kasi silang sistema na sila lang nakaka intindi hehe. Medyo crucial pa, kasi, we had 3 bands during our wedding and it was all very well coordinated. Walang downtime with the bands for the sound check. Our PS and friends kept asking sino raw coord namin because they were also impressed.
Gown: Mel Orlina – 5/5I totally love my gown! It’s a lace serpentine gown with an illusion neckline. She really created a gown that would fit my personality. They also adhered to my requests for my second look at no cost (minimal lang naman). Although somehow her team kept forgetting na nagpapa add ako ng more beads sa skirt ko. Pero ok lang kasi maganda talaga gown ko and for me, sulit ang binayad ko. Ang peg ko talaga was a Rosa Clara gown from the 2015 edition, I showed it to Mel and she made something that is far more beautiful and bumagay talaga sa akin. I was worried at first that my gown would look very simple and walang dating. But each time na nagfifit ako, paganda ng paganda yung gown. Also, Mel is super nice to me and my mom. As in! Hindi ako nagkaproblem with her and hindi rin sya nag sungit sa amin (buti na lang hehe). Palagi pa silang nagkkwentuhan ng mom ko basta palaging good mood si Mel pag andun kami.
Groom’s suit: Emil Ocampo – 5/5Maganda yung suit ni husband. Perfect. No mistakes. Pero:
Ento gowns: Emil Ocampo – 2/5Dito sya hindi nag deliver ng maayos at kina-stress ko ng sobra during our preps.
- He didn't comply to the 2nd fitting he scheduled, only knew a day before na di pala gawa yung gowns when I asked him. Nasira ang timelines ko and that of my ento.
- Hindi ganun kapulido majority of the gowns. Kapag babalik kami to fit again, parang hindi naadjust yung adjustments that we pointed out he had to make with the gowns.
- Sometimes when the adjustments are indeed done, maaapektuhan naman yung ibang part ng gown. We would end up going back again. Some of my entourage napagod na sa pagpunta kaya they had their gowns adjusted somewhere else na lang.
- 2 gowns ang pinagawa namin for my MIL because the 1st one didn't really suit her. Maybe part of it kami dapat ang i-blame because my MIL chose a design na hindi bagay sa body type nya. But creating a 2nd gown could have been avoided if he was suggesting during sketching because he is after all a designer. After all that, both gowns were still unwearable and we can't keep coming back anymore to his shop for fitting. Medyo nahiya ako sa MIL ko sa experience na ito.
- hindi masyadong maganda experience namin kasi pabalik-balik nga kami and malayo ang lugar nya sa amin. medyo problem din ang parking.
Flowers: Dangwa Florist - 4.8/5They delivered on time and maayos sila kausap. They did all my instructions and last minute changes kasi we hired them both for entourage and Church. Kaya lang hindi perfect score is because I gave them ribbons para yun ang i-wrap for all the flowers, na-wrap naman lahat, pero yung sa ibang bouquets ng ento nakita ko upside down ang pagkakalagay. May names kasi namin ni hubby yun ribbon. But they are overall very easy to deal with. Ate Yoni even gave me freebies like additional flowers sa Church. My bouquet is also very beautiful and full of colors na masarap sa mata.
Yan po muna, ladies. Next up: caterer, HMUA, L&S, hosts, band, cake, etc.
