Hi sis jujuy kelan ka nag FT sakanila? Kami nung nov 23 dun sa black kitchen.. Tapos initially 150pax lang ininform namen kaso lang hindi talaga kaya so we decided na 200pax nalang atleast kung mga nasa 180 lang guest namin para maraming sobrang food at hopefully wag naman sana yung mauubusan ng food.. After FT inemail ko agad si shayne na 200 pax na nga kaso upto now hindi parin sila nag rereply. Kalurkey! Schedule na ng 1st payment namen na 25% kaso lang pano kaya yun wala pa sila binibigay na agreement..

[Juyjuy]

Hi sis mamey yan ang pinaka-kinaiinisan ko sa PD. I understand na they are busy lalo na't peak season kaso hindi din makatwiran yung hindi nila pagre-reply sa texts or emails. like last time, yun last payment ko dineposit ko ilang araw bago sila magpadala ng acknowledgment receipt at un final draft ng contract. Talagang sinermonan ko si Shayne sa text. I think kelangan lang talaga sila kulitin ng kulitin. Turn off, I know, pero parang yan ang usual problem sa mga AE ng mga caterers.

September 27 nga pala ako nag FT sa kanila and halos lahat ng sinerve ok sakin kaya nag decide din ako right there and then na mag book.

Sana sis ma-replyan ka na nila. And if you want, try mo din ibang caterers. I heard M's Fine Catering masarap din daw ang naging problema ko naman dun never talaga akong inentertain sa email lol.

[Juyjuy]

Hello again bro Shrek. sorry naman napagkamalan kitang sis 

Check the latest post sa PD thread, ok naman yung review ng sis natin. Sana sana sana talaga walang maging problema

Yup! hoping to meet you and your fiancee on our next FT din.

Happy preps!

[mamey]

Yes sis juyjuy.. I understand din naman yun lalo nga december saka before kami nag FT lagi naman ako sinasagot ni shayne. Nag deposit nga ako agad sakanila eh kahit hindi pa ko nag FT dahil sa mga nabasa kong feedback but okay naman yung FT masarap food nila. Kaso nga lang dun sa previous agreement na sinend nila is jan 18 need ko na magbayad kaso nga nagbago ako ng package.. Ngayon hindi ko tuloy alam kung magbabayad naba ko or what.. Sis naka usap mo narin ba stylento? Mag aadd kaba ng decos sakanila? Thanks sis! When nga pala wesding mo?

 4 days to go!! 

Happy preps!!

Hello sis mamey and juyjuy, sorry to butt in sa discussion, pero why not try The Red Chef. They are relatively new, and so far ang kausap ko parati is the owner, si Aphat and so far so good. Best of all, parang I can tell them directly what we want and want we don't want and since they are relatively new compared sa iba, they are relatively cheaper and is comparable to PD's rates. As I have also thought of getting PD as our caterer.

Also, it's kind of prevalent sa mga caterers, na since they are big, and they have AEs to handle the functions, sometimes, some events and quality of service of events are sacrificed. So sometimes we should be highly critical even with those "well known" suppliers. Minsan parang quantity over quality na lang sila. This I am confident to say kasi my dad caters and one of the top caterers in the Philippines. Given that, it made me really be choosy in getting a different caterer for my bestfriend's wedding instead of my dad.

Hopefully this helps.

May nagpost sa thread ng PD may accident daw yun Pd nung dec. 30 hindi ata nakapunta sa client nila?

[imprincessfiona]

Tee hee 10 days to go na lang. I am so excited but nervous as well.

[mamey]

May nagpost sa thread ng PD may accident daw yun Pd nung dec. 30 hindi ata nakapunta sa client nila?

Grabe naman yun sis! Kaloooka!!!

[mamey]

Nakita ko yung post sis. Well kung totoo man yun and the reason is na accidente talaga ang PD crew then we can't blame them naman siguro.. It's an accident.

sis Juyjuy, medyo matagal nga magreply ang M Catering pagdating sa email pero dahil yung menu nila yung pinakanagustuhan namin, i called their office to set a meeting and naging ok na naman from there on. malapit din kase yung main office nila sa venue namin kaya isa talaga sila sa mga sinadya ko and sobrang satisfied kame sa dalawang FT namin with them.

wala naman ako'ng problema with communication with them so far, pero advice na lang din sa ibang brides na pag may mga suppliers kayo na di kayo nirereplyan or super tagal magreply, be persistent talaga. though it's true na tayo yung customers at parang off kung tayo yung maghahabol pero kung gusto talaga natin makasigurado, mabuti na yung tayo yung mangulit habang may time pa dahil pagdating ng wedding itself wala na tayong oras para mangulit. hindi rin biro yung mga DP na nire-require ng suppliers kaya we have to make sure na our money is well-spent. medyo hassle nga lang na magpaulit-ulit siguro sa supplier pero preventive measure na din siguro yun to avoid a bigger hassle on the day.

[yannuh]

^correct sis!:) Gusto ko din try M Foods. Nagandahan ako sa basic backdrop nila nung wedding fair sa Mega last year. Too bad di kame nakaattend sa FT sched nila though di naman kame nagconfirm kasi me kasabay na meeting with other suppliers. Sana magparamdam na sila HAHA.

[Juyjuy]

sis mamey di ko pa nakausap ang stylento. I am thinking of wooden chairs upgrade kaso pag isipan kong mabuti, budget wedding din kasi kami. Kulitin mo lang ng kulitin si Shayne. Goodluck sis. kung talagang decided ka na sa Purpledish sana nga makapag book ka na

sis f878, sayang nga eh, gusto talaga sana namin i-try ang M kaso until now wala talaga kaming nakuha na reply, to think September pa kami nag-inquire sa kanila. And fully paid na kasi kami sa Purpledish sis. December kasi wedding namin, peak season so medyo minadali din namin ang booking. No regrets naman sa food, yun nga lang yung AE namin sobrang tagal mag-reply.

[f878]

^ok din naman ang PD sis. kaso di kase sila accredited nung venue namin kaya di na sila naging option though nakapag-FT naman kame sa kanila nung event ng Bridalbook and masarap din talaga ang food ng PD. isa sila sa mga naging ok sa'ken sa dinami ng pinag-FThan namin.
kulit-kulitin mo lang sila. or if may time ka, pwede ka ring pumunta sa office nila tapos ilatag mo na lahat ng concerns mo and have it on paper. ayoko din kase masyado mag-rely sa email kaya as much as possible, pinupuntahan ko talaga yung mga suppliers. sa email kase minsan ang tagal na nga mag-reply, kulang pa yung isasagot so another email na naman. at least pag may kaharap na AE di ka pwedeng talikuran basta-basta. hehe

[imprincessfiona]

hi mga sis medyo off topic wala kasi ako makita na thread regarding sa topic na ito. yung candle ba na provided ni church is yung for offertory lang?yung para sa wedding ceremony kami ba ang magpoprovide? then may nakikita me na may maliit na candle na syang sisindihan ng SS then isisindi sa malaking candle. Can you please further explain po mga sis. TIA!

[120515]

imprincessfiona, i think we're the ones who will provide the candles for the wedding ceremony. the secondary sponsors will have to light them so they can bring matches, lighters, or smaller lighted candles (like you mentioned)
