Part 2: Wedding Suppliers (Major)Note: I'm just super OC and rate suppliers on overall not just the wedding day. If I rate them 4 or more, recommended parin yun, just stating what could be improved
CHURCH: Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, Tagaytay (5/5)
Straightforward transactions, wasn't strict sa gown or suppliers. Clean-looking, beautiful altar and when all the chandeliers were lighted up. Was double the price of San Antonio de Padua but i glad we went with this because Padua tends to look dark in photos. Lourdes looked very clean and gold.
RECEPTION AND PREPS: Angelfields Nature Sanctuary (6/5)
Best wedding decision ever!! First outdoor wedding reception for both sides of the family and they were just awed with the serenity and intimacy of the place. I forgot all about the price tag when I saw the photos and everyone kept saying they loved it! Jeff was very easy to talk to and none of our suppliers had issues with them. Ang sarap sarap magocular dito! Im already missing it.
PHOTO: Chestknots Studio (5/5)
JayJay is awesome. I love him for his bright, but not washed-out photos. His daughter was very sick near our wedding but we didnt even notice. He and wife Feliz were uber professional, very nice and warm. We met them only on the day itself but it was not an issue.
VIDEO: Treehouse Story (4.5/5)
Alesi is a super nice guy, and super galing nya magedit at magdrone! We booked Treehouse after we met him. Medyo mabagal lang sya magedit. On the day itself we had to stall for time and when the SDE was played i noticed a line of the vows repeated (although the guests didnt) so had to request him to edit it after. Tagal padin mabigay, will post link when i get it. Buti nalang super loved the SDE so we didn't regret booking them.
COORDINATOR: Kutchie Zaldarriaga (4/5.5)
Super bait ni Ms. Kutch! I am honestly starstruck every time I meet her pero she is so down to earth even though i'm not a celeb client. Super efficient meetings and organized planning, professional yung team nya. Only thing i wish is that they focus on you earlier and not start emailing a lot of stuff two days before the wedding. Dami kasi nila wedding. I felt like hindi ako nagturnover and was handling stuff til the day before. One of her secretaries called me night before the wedding to say they couldnt get in touch with the florist--- well dont tell me na and work on it! Haha
CATERER: K by Cunanan (4.5/5)
Took us forever to finalize our menu but they were patient with us. Minsan mahirap hagilapin both the AE and the stylist but they pulled through during the wedding. All the feedback we heard was that everything was good and that there was way too much food! (Sitdown) Wish the salmon was more cooked though.
BRIDAL GOWN: Joe San Antonio (4/5)
I had a very gorgeous bridal gown that people say look a lot more expensive than what it cost... super loved that she got it right for the wedding but that was the second try na actually. Her sketch for me was perfectly gorgeous, i got that this is it feeling. Booked her. Then she worked on a design super far from the sketch, miscomm daw! Had to ask her to change it (i was charged 9k for the embroidery and used it instead sa dance dress-- i let this pass since too close to the wedding to freak out). and then the 2nd try was what i wore. Lush tulle and intricate beading
She needed a lot of input.
HMUA: Eds Go (4.5/5)
Eds did an awesome job on my makeup even though i requested it to be different from the trial. Sugal that paid off. Magaling din si Vera sa hair. Not perfect score lang because they didnt groom my groom (how can you forget??), Eds' assistants didnt bother to come with me to church for retouch and didnt retouch me before the in-between photoshoot kahit alam nila meron. Reception na ako na-retouch. And the retouch was very minor powder and oilpaper. So parang the rate is expensive.
FLORIST: Joel Faller (2/5)
Don't book him!!! Haha stressful that no one can get a hold of him even the day before the wedding. The flowers arrived late, weren't fresh (thank God di nahalata sa photo/video) and looked cheap. Thats what i get for scrimping on flowers! Buti nga sumipot pa eh.
EVENT STYLIST: Flowers Unlimited Rizal (6/5)
Another one of our favorites. Super bait owners and they lent us a lot of extra stuff for the cocktails setup that wasnt in the contract. Beautiful setup. I feel like I chose right and was glad i didnt go for a high end expensive stylist na. Our setup:

Lights were ok, i liked that my pictures werent all blue and purple like other weddings. Their sounds were sabog though and they werent able to fix it. Expected more having paid a premium for L&S.
