[xsugar]

sis ghelyn30,can you pm me and share the freebies she gave you? i dont know what im supposed to be getting eh.

go,go,go sis march!

[ghelyn30]

^sis xsugar, na send ba sayo ni Ms. Kim un rates nya? andun kasi yung mga freebies nya. Ang pinag basihan ko kasi based on sa mga na scout kong OTD, sila lang [textspeak!] affordable rates with too much freebies. hehe! Okay I'll pm it to you sis. =)

[RL2484]

Hi! Newbie here! Any feedback for celebrations By marianne chua? Was referred by a friend with positive feedback but hoping to hear more from her previous clients as well. Inquired regarding her rate and its reasonably priced so it all boils down to her delivery of services. Thanks 

[marchbridetobe]

^ yes sis! Balitaan mo kami with the meeting since overseas kami. hehe! Yan yung isang factor pala na hindi ko naitanong. But based on some reviews on their FB page, everything turned out well naman. =)

sige sis, i'll keep you posted. tom ang sked ng meeting namin kay Ms. Kim.

[xsugar]

hindi sis ghelyn30, mentioned lang nya over the phone.

[ghelyn30]

^sis, pm me your email then i'll send it to you. =)

P.S. I've sent the detailed review for AK Events thru PM here in GT for sis marchbridetobe, I CC you also para mabasa mo rin. 

Happy preps satin sis! ♥

HELLO SISSIES! Any feedback from past-present clients of Kutchie. OT/Semi/Full.
I am really thinking of getting her but not sure if it's worth the $$$$. Thanks sissies!

OTD bride here...Not yet one of her past brides pero ang masasabi ko lang, she is one of the few coordinators who don't have a negative review In contrast, there's a lot of brides who went the 'cheap' route with their choice of coordinator and said after the wedding that they regretted it since pumalpak on the day itself. I think spending a lot on the coordination is a personal choice. Of course, there is also a greater risk involved for the ones without much experience or a reputation yet. But Im sure somewhere out there, there's an affordable one who can deliver as well, but there is a greater chance the ones who charge like Kutchie have a valid reason to. I personally know some of her past brides din, sabi nila lahat sobrang stress-free with Kutchie. Kahit assistants niya naimpress kami how they work.

I've personally consulted her about something and from our quick chat, she seemed very very knowledgable. She asked lang right away where my venues were and outright had an answer for my dilemma on buffet/ sitdown dinner setup. Andami niyang factors naconsider kaagad na I never even mentioned.. i am confident of how she and her team will handle my wedding.

so after 5 personal meetings with different coordinators, we finally found the one and its ABSOLUTELY KNOT EVENTS by Ms. Kim!! thank you so much for your recommendation sis ghelyn30

narealize ko na while the reviews here and on the different forums matter, it is important pa din na you meet or at least talk with your suppliers face to face especially pag coordinator dahil dapat mag click kayo! like in our case, we met Mr. Rigel of Alalay.ko, Ms. Kaice of Events:Simplified, Ms. Kredin of Kredin, The Events Engineer, Ms. Sheena of SMA Weddings and Beyond and lastly Ms. Kimmy of Absolutely Knot Events. Among those 5, si Absolutely Knots ang pinaka underdog when it comes sa popularity dito but we still chose them kasi sa kanila namin talaga naramdaman yung "this is it" feeling! Ms. Kimmy is not new in the biz coz she was with her sister before sa Simple Joys Weddings and Events and syempre di naman ako basta basta naniwala so nagstalk ako sa fb page ng Simple Joys and todo scroll ako sa previous events nila at nakita ko nga na Ms. Kimmy was there sa mga pics as part of her sister's team since 2011 pa. Nag merge out na nga lang talaga sya so her rates are very affordable pa and daming freebies! 

actually our budget range naman for OTD is within the range of the abovementioned OTDs pero we're lucky enough that we got someone na half of our initial budget lang! What we really like most about Ms. Kimmy is that she's very pleasant and nice to talk to pero very professional! She comes to the meeting prepared and was able to present the details to us that as if next week na ang wedding! Another thing is that when it comes to communication, she's very prompt in responding at very clear ang sagot. Plus factor pa since she has a background in IT, she can make an instagram live feed daw on our wedding day, we'll just have to provide her a dummy account and pocket wifi daw. Another thing is that while H2B was present in all our meetings with diff coords, kay Ms. Kimmy ko lang nakita na talagang nakikinig sya And most of all, lalong nakapagpa yes yung first hand detailed review from their former bride c/o sis ghelyn30. Nabanggit din sila sa w@w na super okay daw though di nga lang ganun kadetailed and also one of our sissies here in GT na recent bride lang din gave them a 10/10 rating.

Sorry ang haba ng post koo! alam ko it's to early to tell and rave about them pa, natuwa lang talaga ko sa kanya Suggestion din to sa ibang brides out there na still looking for OTD. Ms. Kimmy said that after this month magtataas na sya ng rate pero she's still way affordable than other mid-range OTDs considering pa yung freebies nya.

wow sis marchbridetobe, nice inputs! can't wait to meet her too:)

[marchbridetobe]

wow sis marchbridetobe, nice inputs! can't wait to meet her too:)

when are you meeting her sis? you'd definitely love her! nakakatawa nga kasi based sa mga photos nya sa page nila i thought mataray sya kasi she barely smiles tas akala ko din mga 30 plus na sya but then she's very different in person, very nice and knowledgeable and friendly too! And she's only 27 kaya click na click ang personalities namin and she just got married lang din a year ago kaya relate na relate sya sa mga katulad nating B2bs. She has this certain charisma na alam ko kahit di pa nya nakawork yung ibang suppliers ko eh mahahandle pa din nya ng maayos. and also pala, nagpost na din ng rating yung recent bride nya sa page nila at ang ganda din ng feedback! kaya very happy ako coz i know we're in good hands!

[ghelyn30]

so after 5 personal meetings with different coordinators, we finally found the one and its ABSOLUTELY KNOT EVENTS by Ms. Kim!! thank you so much for your recommendation sis ghelyn30

Yay Sis!!! You're most welcome! Kahit hindi pa kami nagkikita ni Ms. Kim since we're overseas, i just trusted my "gut feel and this is it pansit feeling"! I am so happy na 2 na tayo AK bride here in GT, hope many more b2b could discover her.

We had the same feeling na masyado pang maaga to give a review, but as early as this stage also sobrang efficient na siya even if hindi pa sila booked. Sobrang prompt ng response and super naka assist siya. And tama ka, for that very affordable package, plus too much freebies talagang "woot! woot!" sobrang win win tayo sis! 

I saw in their Fb page yung thanks-giving dinner nila with their newly-wedded client, na nabanggit din sakin thru PM coz they owe Ms. Kim and her team a lot. =)

Happy preps pa satin sis! when pala wedding mo?

[marchbridetobe]

^nako lalo na sa personal sis sobrang pleasant nya pero i know she can be strict pero yung di nakakairita at di nakakaintimidate. basta gusto ko yung aura nya! napaka accommodating sa mga tanong ko pero nababalik pa din nya yung discussion in a nice way. alam ko di naman pre-requisite na mabait ang OTD, mas dapat na magaling sya pero Ms. Kim has both so lucky us!! hehe. may bago na naman nga nagbigay ng rating sa fb page nila sis eh, yun yung recent bride lang nila nung saturday

march 2016 ako sis, december ka di ba? for sure mataas na ang rates nila nun so it pays that we book her early!

[ghelyn30]

Same here sis! First impression ko din based sa pictures nya on their page is parang masungit and istrikta, ala "Ms. Minchin Look" HAHAHA! Kasi chinita sya and parang sobrang serious sa pics. But during are exchanged of emails, lalo na nung booked na namin sya, kapag nag-uusap kami we're just like friends. And yun yung isang feeling na gusto ko kasi hindi ako gaanong maiilang mag-ask on something kapag may hindi ako naintindihan.

Sobrang big help nung detailed pre-nup locations na sinend nya after we booked her. Nagkaron na kami ng idea where to have it, and ma lessen un scouting since she had provided even the peso power, contact details, and rules and regulations per location. Plus yung bridal worksheets, the suggested song list for the program, RSVP Management, and everything. HAHA! Have you received it ba? To think ng OTD lang ang kinuha namin sakanya. Sobrang natuwa lang ako, pero di ko pa nababasa yung iba, sabi ko sakanya sa off ko nalang. HAHAHA!

Nai-share narin nya sakin na she got married lang din last year, but i don't know na 27 lang pala sya. hehe!

Sis san mo nakita yung new review? I want to read it din sana. Thanks! ♥

[marchbridetobe]

^truth sis! very apt yung "Miss Minchin" look. hahaha. she and her team conducts a team huddle a day before the actual wedding day kaya muntik pa ngang di matuloy yung meeting namin nung friday kasi may wedding sila ng saturday pero napagbigyan pa din nya ko since dinner time naman yun kaya sa tingin ko we're meant to be talaga! haha.

sa fb page lang din nila yun sis, sa review section, scroll down mo lang kasi parang di yata by date yung order ng ayos dun sa reviews section. very short and precise lang naman yung sinabi pero it says alot kasi pati yung hubby nagpost din eh, usually kasi tayong mga girls lang yung mga ganun na nagbibigay ng reviews di ba. hehe

[ghelyn30]

sis marchbridetobe, yap nabasa ko na. hehe! So excited narin to plan our wedding ng tuloy tuloy. For now kasi, chillax muna since 1.5 year to go pa naman and booked na namin so far mga major suppliers, the rest next year nalang. hehe!

sis xsugar, yay!!! Thank you kasi nabasa nyo yung post ko about AK events. Naisip ko kasi na yun na yung best effort na magagawa ko to thank her kasi nga sobrang win-win package yung inoffer ni Ms. Kim samin., just a simple pay-back kahit man lang dito sa GT mai-refer ko sya. =)

And as her promised, she even downloaded an App for us to communicate with ease. Since overseas kami, we preferred using whatsapp kasi instead of viber. May mga blocked locations kasi minsan ang viber.

Yah meet her, then keep us posted din about the meeting!
Happy preps satin sis! Nyay!! ♥

Hi mga sis,

We got Perfect Moments for our coordinator. Any feedbacks from you na naka-work na sila or anything lang about them, esp. how they deliver and deadlines.

Thanks!

[xsugar]

thanks to you too sis ghelyn30, we were really hesitant on getting coor since budget wedding kami..but when i saw your message and talked to Ms. Kimmy, i got convinced that we needed this kind of supplier the most. kaya eto, booked na ko sa kanya! I know its too early to say, but i can feel di tayo lugi sa kanya:)

[marchbridetobe]

^balitaan mo kami sis sa meeting nyo ha iinterrogate mo pa din sya and mag ask ka pa din ng questions. may mga nakalimutan kasi ako itanong pero kasi naman she was able to explain almost everything na. hehe.

[bwatinella]
