April pa ko sis Chinecheck lang daw nila kung inuupdate ko yung wedding worksheet. haha Malapit ka na ba?

^True sis jajasmin, its a blessing in disguise. At least you'll have a chance na to look for a better coordinator. Happy preps sis!

[hermione28]

Ok bang OTD Coordinator si Ma Del's?

I plan to get catering and OTD sakanila. Any reviews?

Up ko lang po inquiry ko. Sorry need lang advice.

I plan kasi to get Ma Del's Cuisine plus their OTD worth 15k with emcee. Wala nga lang RSVP pa na kasama. need to add P3,500 for RSVP service.

Hi sis hermione28, Anj seems organized naman based sa meeting namin. I suggest you schedule a meeting with her. After ko tumawag sa landline nila (na si mom ni Anj ang nakasagot), I received a meeting schedule from Naomi the following day

[xsugar]

[hermione28]

^hi sis ikaw ulit. hehe.

I'm an overseas bride kasi sis. I have sent her an email kung pwede sya i meet ng friend ko. wala pa kasing reply si Anj kaya inquire inquire muna ko dito sa GT.

^jajasmin That is not how a professional should act. Mahiya naman siya. Book someone more credible nalang, it's not yet too late. I myself havent even started with meeting my coordinator (12.30.15 bride also here!) But i will meet her this week and have another meeting in 2nd week Nov. You still have time, promise. 15-17k budget should be good for you to get someone credible. Try meeting Sheena of SMA, she's the only affordable option i met and liked.

@sparklingjewel

Hi sis can you refer me sa OTD coordinator mo please?

Thank you!


My sister's OTD is Kredin, i want to get her kasi professional talaga sya and magaling. Natatakot lang ako kasi I have wrote a small negative reviews sakanya on my sister's wedding. But she react on it and relay it to my sister na nag write ako ng negative review, which I cleared din naman kaahad dito sa GC.

Kaya kahit nagalingan ako sakanya, natatakot ako kunin sya kasi baka may sama sya ng loob saken or something. Hehe ang OA ko.

[tiffany24]

buti nakakita agad ng kapalit sis jajasmin yes, si God na bahala ako i'll meet up na with my coordinator na nakapencil book pa lang ako hehe. ang bagal ng prep namin 

[sparklingjewel]

Hi hermione28, my coordinator is Kutchie Zaldarriaga under Getting Married (her company name).
You can search for their Facebook page and inquire, she has responsive assistants.

Meeting Kutchie herself tomorrow... super excited and a bit anxious, as i feel like she will think my wedding is too simple haha. First meeting palang

[daeyan]

Hi guys! Im so awe sa feedbacks nyo sa imbitado events. Grabe! Parang super galing nila. So sad lang na hindi ko sila nabook or naconsider beforehand kasi that time na nagbook ako ng otd, hindi pa ako belong dito sa female network. 😔 If only i knew. Sayang.

Anyway,i booked memento events. Ok naman din sila. Prompt din sumagot. Kaso wala kami masyado communication kasi hindi ako masyado nagtatanong sa kanila. Hondi ko din kasi alam what else pa ba need iask. Hahaha. 😂 But it seems na ok naman sila. Yun nga lang, i can feel na parang mas pasok sa banga ang imbitado events kc mas mura sya kesa sa memento. Memento is 25k. 😔 Plus emcee. Medyo costly compare to imbitado. Hopefully, maging maganda ang wedding. Pero naiinggit ako sa inyo! 😊😁

[KNG05]

Hi mga sis.! Just want to share we're having an online meeting with Ayie of Imbitado Events. Hopefully maging okay para sila na din kunin ko as our OTD coordinator. Can you share some tips kung ano dapat ko itanong and i-highlight sa kanya?

Thanks in advance! ♥

[pinaydiaspora]

^^ Huwag ka manghinayang sis daeyan, for sure okay din naman OTD mo. But did yiu pay it in full na ba? If not you still have the option to switch diba though yun lang sayang DP mo. May I ask how much pala emcee? In house ba? I did consider them before since they looked quite organized though hindi sila avaiable sa wedding date ko. Anyway I think your wedding will be great since sila yung nag handle ng wedding ni yaya gerbel (kris aquino).

^ Imbitado bride here Anyway just ask Ayie the important details you want to be more focused with on your wedding day like how do they coordinate with your booked and potential suppliers, if there are problems what do they usually do with it, who are the suppliers that they've worked it, etc.

Sis sparklingjewel, how did your first meeting go with Kutchie?

[sparklingjewel]

^Update, just finished our initial meeting with Kutchie... first meeting palang parang alam na nya halos everything we've planned for the past year! She ran us down all the suppliers we booked and who she was okay with (good relationship/ have worked with and whom she didnt know). I'm glad most of the suppliers i booked she has been with na. Haha and she was like a machinegun firing questions at us about every little thing. Which is good, because that tells me she is thorough and even where i feel like we're prepared she still has something to impart about what else we need to check. And she took note of stuff we have yet to settle and will make it our assignment daw haha! She was also able to draw up our program flow na kanina while discussing with us. Di na pala nya ako pina-add ng stylist, ok naman na daw my current (Flowers Unlimited - Rizal based). AND she confirmed that she will be at my wedding from the church to reception since i am the first booker for my date-- she will really be leading the reception and any changes that may happen to the flow on the day itself (as needed--if the video or photo team stalls) Next meeting with her will be with the caterer, reception stylist and L&S. Sa huli na daw nya mmeet yung emcee kasi easy na... plus super aga pa daw haha! She said she has 14 more weddings in November alone so di pa talaga sya panicked about mine hehe. Looks like she knows what she's saying naman. 70 days to go! I am sooo happy we went with her expertise, kahit di kami her usual celeb or big wedding budget client. With her i really bought my peace of mind (as she is my only high-end supplier) but as our other Kutchie-client friends say, we wont have to worry about a thing nga daw.. glad it is looking that way

[litterbox]

^ it's good to hear that your meeting with Kutchie went well sis sparklingjewel. Unfortunately, during our first meeting, it was one of her team members who met with us because she wasn't feeling well that day, pero thorough din. They really know their stuff. During the meeting there were some things that were brought up that me and the fiance haven't thought of, so super helpful talaga. I can't wait to meet Kutchie on our next meeting.

[msdianne]

Happy for you sis Sparklingjewel! All of your worries I'm sure will be stress free na. Yay!

[daeyan]

Yes sis! Memento naghandle ng kasal ni yaya gerbel. 😊 Hopefully maging maayos. Kasi honestly, wala kami masyado inaask na questions kasi nabooked ko na lahat. Same thing, hindi din naman sila nagaask what else pa unless magmessage ako ganun. Siguro dahil 7 mos to go pa before wedding namin? We will have the turnover 3 months prior to wedding. They handed to me na din yung mga guests list etc.

Mine is 25k pala included na yung emcee. nakatawad pa kami kasi old rate. But now i think their 28k na yata..

Anyway, i trusted them naman. Ayoko na din magbackout kasi half na yung nadown namin. Saka mukhang magagaling naman sila. Hirap kaso makipagusap pgoverseas eh. Puro message message lang ganun. Any feedbacks with memento?

Ano pa ba mga need iask sa kanila mga sis? Thanks a lot!

[Missus O]

^Hi sis, off the bat, you may ask them (if hindi pa natanong)
-how many are they (para malaman mo kung ilan ang isasasama mo sa crew meals)
-how will they go about it (like ilan ang mag assist sayo, sa hubby mo, pano sila magcocoordinate with each other esp.when you will be taking your pics . Ex. Shots mo muna, then with your bridesmaids -either in your robes or in your gowns na. Then yung mga outside shots. Paano sila makikipagcoordinate with each other and with the photographers na kailangan na ang lahat ng mga bridesmaids, yung iba kasing entourage eh nasa bride having their family pics taken, then kailangan na pala si groomsman sa groom's side kasi kukuhaan na sila ng shots naman with the groom. Pasensha na king medyo magulo but I hope maintindihan mo hehe. Para seamless. Most of the time eh ngarag na tayo by that time hehe.
-sina ang magfollowup ng mga rsvps, since 3 months ahead nila kunin yung turnover (if ever may additional fee ba).
-ilang hours or minutes yung coord na mauuna papuntang church.
-sino ang responsible for all the accessories. Dapat kasi may isang tao na assigned dito. Para maiwasan yung nawawala or nakalimutan na bouquet.
-sila ba ang makikipagcommunicate na with your other suppliers as to calltime etc.?

Naku pasensha na, and I'll stop here. hehe. Good luck sa preps. ☺
