Ive attended a wedding na in San Sebastian. Ganda ng church parang SAC lang din yun feel.

May I ask sis, how much so far yun budget niyo and ilan invited guests mo? Problemado kami ni h2b kasi dami namin friends and relatives. Target namin sana max 120 na or baka 120-150.

[rightback]

^non negotiable ni h2b ang church sis hahaha. i wanted sana magallanes. but gusto namin interior ng san sebastian. san agustin was also an option for me..but not for him.

around 650k yung last na check ko but excluding hotel pa yan sis and other suppliers to book. 200 yung guests namin...and counting haha. but me and my mom have an agreement na yung excess siya na. kasi about half ng total guests side ng family niya or friends niya.

baka kayanin ng 120-150 sis. try niyo muna ilist down sino yung mga initial invitees niyo. then more or less 80% niyan yung magiging actual no of guests. i just come from a big family kaya from the start alam ko di na kaya ang 150 pax. no matter how much i want it to.

Hi sis abhigaile, raising my hand on a province-wedding  Although mine's in bulacan lang. How are you planning it? Hope we pull it through even though limited choices of suppliers (mahal the ootc!) hehe! BTW, your fiance's province is beautiful! I'm seeing your wedding will be picturesque.  Happy preps!

Hello mindiegirl. Thanks for appreciating the beauty of their place, kahit ako na love at first sa province nila! Kaya as much as possible every year ako makasama magbakasyon dun! Sa ngayon wala confirm na plan since jan 2016 pa kami mag start magplan. Pero ang idea namin, is laid back beach reception lang sa eco-surf camp sa likod lang ng bahay na lola ni fiance. DIY lang yung decors, may church din na walking distance lang from reception venue, and may relative daw sila na priest. Sabi ng mga tita ni fiance, sila sila na lang daw magluluto, yung give aways, crafts or small details lang, plan ko i-diy na lang.
I hope we can materialize our ideas. Good luck to you and happy preps!

Good Luck Sis.

My experience with them was really bad. H2B and I were already scheduled for a contract signing and hinde nila kami sinipot.

Inquiry pa lang ang hirap na nila mahagilap. Weekdays lang daw sila available so nagleave pa kami ni H2B to meetup with them sa HQ nila sa Antipolo. We wanted to settle na the reservation pero may event daw si booking manager Anne so sinabihan kami na tatawagan na lang daw kami for contract signing. A week has passed at walang tawag from them so kami na mismo ang nagtext at tumawag sa kanila, laging sinasabi na nasa Event si Anne. When we got hold of the booking manager after 2 weeks of trying/waiting, sabi Wednesday lang daw sya available at 1PM sa Eastwood pa. I'm from Taguig pa naman pero dahil sa gusto namin ang 185K package nila kaya nag-agree na din kami. Come Wednesday, nasa Eastwood na kami wala paring message from Anne. Nung tumawag kami sa HQ nila, nakausap namin si Camille, sabi nasa event na daw si Anne at walang napagbilinan for our contract signing pero nakaprint na daw ang contracts namin. Tatawag na lang daw sila kung pwede na kami pumunta sa HQ nila sa Antipolo. That was around May 2015 pa. August na in 4 days, wala pa rin tawag or kahit na anong follow-up. Siguro napakarami nilang clients kaya hinde kawalan sa kanila.

May isa pa rin tayong fellow B2B na nakaexperience ng ganyang treatment from them.

Sis imprincessfiona & Sis raspberi heaven sent kayong dalawa! Super thank you sa reply buti nabasa ko agad. actually nagdadalwang isip ako sa kanila si H2B ang me gusto kasi swak daw sa budget namen na 200K. Ang gusto sana namen is 185K kaso nagdalawang isip ako kung bakit super mura. Buti nag msg kayong dalawa sa akin kasi magdadown na dapat kami this Friday.

Wedding namen is August 2016 na 
Church namen is Paco Park Church - St. Pancratius Chapel

how about Ibarra's Garden? Meron na bang nakatry? Ok po ba sa kanila?
Salamat ng madami sa reply mga Sis

[msGlobalista]

Hello GT Brides

Newbie here. Heaven sent this thread!!! Back read everything and whew! Learned learned a lot! I don't think I need a full coordination even if I'm flying often and not based in Pinas. Bless this site!!!

September 2016 Bride here Just booked our church where we first heard our mass together as a couple (cheesy!) boy oh boy! 30K agad yung DP... I guess we have a long way to go. We'll go home this August to check venues and caterers. Maybe find a coordinator narin but perhaps OTD or partial to save up too. Nice to be here actually and really excited for everyone!

[mindiegirl]

Hi there sis msGlobalista, I'm a september bride as well. glad to find this site too! There's a separate thread per supplier here. It will help you a lot in your preps. Good luck in planning!

[msGlobalista]

Hello mindiegirl! exciting diba! Let's update each other then.

[rightback]

how about Ibarra's Garden? Meron na bang nakatry? Ok po ba sa kanila?
Salamat ng madami sa reply mga Sis

sis i think Ibarra is ok since all in ata yung package nila. Not sure if there's a thread here dedicated to Ibarra's but ok naman yung nakita kong reviews.

Nostalgic24 same here Jan 2016! Anong day wedding mo sis?

[aGuyInAgirlsForum]

Hi aGuyInAgirlsForum!  We have the same Church, Venue, OTD, Emcee, Florist, L&S & Musician.  When is your wedding?

December 30, 2016.. Kayo kelan?

[katsy.m]

Hi, mga sis!

Musta na ang preps? Ngayon lang ako ulit nakapagpost ulit, medyo naging busy the past months. So far, booked na namin lahat with minor issues lang siguro - e.g. I'm letting my girls decide on their dresses and still waiting for their decision.

We're also done with our first prenup c/o Wanderlust Project of Blacktieproject, Jesy Alto and Aisa Ipac last June and we're still waiting for the final product. Ang masasabi ko lang, super fun nilang kasama and we really enjoyed the experience. Our initial plan kasi is just to have our prenup sa aming Alma Mater. Pero their Wanderlust Project gave us the opportunity to have our prenup elsewhere. Sa mga sis natin na di familiar with the Wanderlust Project, Blacktieproject, Jesy and Aisa collaborated in creating a contest last March or April ata where you will have to provide a unique prenup location. They will only choose 5 couples and if chosen, the prenup photoshoot, styling and HMU are free na. The only catch is you have to take care of the team's lodging, transportation and food. Pero given that the professional fee of the whole team is for free na, hindi ka na talo dun. Mga in-demand pa sila sa wedding industry ngayon and I have to say na magagaling nga talaga sila!

Now, we are planning our second prenup together with out prenup stylist (Belladonna prenup styling with Diana Santos and Rolee Umali) and photographer (Marc Franco of Digital Light Images). We scheduled the photoshoot around early October naman.

We have set a meeting with our caterer and reception stylist this August naman. Then, next agenda is the invitation design, photobooth design and pegs to be given to the florist.

We're also collating our requirements na rin para sa Church and we are scheduled for our Pre-cana sometime in November naman.

Grabe, ito na yung sinasabi nila na sobrang daming details. Noong una kasi parang ang dali lang ng research, meeting and booking ng suppliers since medyo maaga kami nagstart at wala masyadong kalaban at hindi kaagad nauubusan ng mga recommended suppliers. Pero pagdating sa detailing, ang dami talagang iisipin. Kumbaga, dito mo na mararamdaman na malapit na ang kasal at ramdam na ramdam ko na ang pagiging bride-to-be. haha!

Hope you're all enjoying the preps as much as I do!
