OTD Wedding Coordinator (Part 3)

[Bratinella33]

Planning to book Gorgeous Bride and beyond, as suggested by one of our sis here😊 mabait naman kausap and affordable at 12k. Tinanggap ko na na di ko talga makukuha imbitado kasi booked na! Haha! Anyway, need ko lang po feedback sa previous GBB brides po, if any. Or if may mas affordable pa na ok din po ang service. Thank you!

[charmed30]

sana imbes na 2k off sa package nila, sana free emcee/hosting na lang and less % DP. lols!

You can talk to sheena regarding the less dp. You can work something out with her.

[bzbee]

now im even more confused! 15k for SMA with discount vs 13k for Imbitado. Is the 2k difference worth it?

[peachlipstick]

Sis bzbee, have you met both of them personally? Tingin ko mas makakapagdecide ka kung makakausap mo sila parehas para makita mo din kung sino ang makaka-jive mo ang personality and whose approach suits you best.

I went with Ayie since she made me feel comfortable and she seems very efficient. Also, kahit ang layo pa ng wedding date namin, she still answers all my queries promptly, hindi ko kelangan mag double send

[glacy_rein]

^agree to this, napagpasyahan namen ni hubby imove ang date at luckily available din si Ayie. Full dapat kukunin ko pero sya na nagsabe na difference lang ng partial and full eh sila ang makikipagusap sa suppliers in which ako naman talaga gagawa since hindi naman ako overseas bride. So I went for partial at baka may makalimutan ako.

Atleast we know na she's not after the money and yes she do reply fast basta wala syang wedding event. (in rare occasions. hehe)

Hi common123
Here's a list of the coordinators from a blog site

https://micanonymous.wordpress.com/2011/05/03/philippine-wedding-coordinators-2011/

You will need to inquire to them one by one since those specified in the blog are really old rates.

booked ayie yesterday. bilis naman respond nya as usual. sent me guidelines and so many other files that i can use for my own planning since OTD ko lang siya kinuha. i'm relieved. booked her and KbyC na. Vidlens and Ram Marcelo meeting on Sunday! Pero church hindi pa rin. Lols

[vitug.annie]

^sis unahin mo church.. yan pinaka importante sa lahat hehe.. para fixed na yung date na mabibigay mo sa suppliers otherwise palagi kang magpapalit ng contract

[dcpdane]

hindi pa din kasi ako makapagdecide kung saan na ba talagaaaa. hahaha! dream church kasi namin caleruega. pero baka magsettle kami sa santuario... gusto ko muna mag ocular sa tagaytay venues at malaman kung doable ba in terms of budget and comfy sa commute from church para sa guests. kapag na-drain na ako at walang makitang mura na venue dun where accredited si kbyc, susuko na ako. hahaha.

[sparklingjewel]

^Sis hirap niyan walang final date (church & venue). All your suppliers are still contingent on the data whether you have booked them or not. If magkataon they are no longer free on the date you finally decide on, wala rin, they might return your dp. Dapat church and venue talaga mauna para secured ang date.

[dcpdane]

yup, i know sisses but i've informed them all naman na tentative dates pa for nov. 2016, maluwag pa naman scheds nilang lahat so far for nov 2016

[juwie]

^i agree with sparklingjewel. The very first thing you have to settle is the Church date. Mabilis ma book ang mga simbahan sis dcpdane baka magulat ka na lang na wala na pala slots sa date na gusto mo kahit matagal pa yan. iba na panahon ngayon

[pilates]

Sis peachlipstick, so u were able to meet both ayie and sheena?

[peachlipstick]

Hi sis pilates, si Ayie lang ang personally ko na-meet, there was something about the way she talked to us that made me book her the next day. Even h2b was impressed considering he's harder to please. Though I also have Sheena's rates (she emailed it to me din) which are fair pero Ayie's package is more sulit. Especially the free RSVP service which will be an additional to Sheena's.

[vitug.annie]

sis dcpdane, it happened to me kasi before kaya ayoko rin mangyari sana sayo sis.. hahaha! I booked Photo, Video, Gown, Emcee before i even booked the Church and Reception.. 3 suppliers lang yan na pinalitan namin ang contract pero nakakastress din pala hahahah

[dcpdane]

Omg, panic mode na ba agad Dapat pala noon pa ako niyaya ni jowa magpakasal. Hahaha. Inuna kasi PS4 e! Lols! Shucks next weekend pa kami free mag ocular ng venues. I will only go for Caleruega if may affordable na hindi naman nakakahiyang venue (ang layo ng dadayuin ng guests tapos meh lang.. although K by C food haha). Otherwise, gorabels sa fee-flooded santuario de san Antonio!! good luck sa ating lahat

[yannuh]

^sis oo nga naku unahin mo na agad agad ang church kasi dun iikot yung papabook mong iba.  Church at venue tas saka isunod ibang suppliers. Lalo Caleruega e in demand yan sa ating mga B2Bs. Goodluck sis!😘

[dcpdane]

tinatakot nyo koooo! hahaha pero at least, majujustify yung pagiging "atat" mag prep kasi yung iba diba, parang nega ang iniisip sa mga maaga mag prep ng kasal. nawa'y after ng rackets naming this weekend e makapag ocular na kami!

[vitug.annie]

^carry yan sis! balitaan mo kami if sino napili mo haha!

[sparklingjewel]

^^Just trying to help you out, sis, di naman para takutin ka. Actually if you think about it, when you do finalize your church and venue (as far as i know ni hindi ka pa decided kung manila or tagaytay wedding right), then you'll be able to determine your costs more accurately kasi alam mo na if may OOT fee or wala per supplier, hindi ka magugulat nalang bigla na overbudget ka na pala.

I myself initially was planning for a Manila wedding but we weren't happy with the venues so we did ocular in Tagaytay first, revised the outlook costs on each supplier to add OOT fees, then booked a church and venue two weeks after.
