OTD Wedding Coordinator (Part 4)

[stylus]

^yan mismo ang gagawin ko para sa RSVP namin 
bumili ako ng sim at yung number na yun ang nilagay ko sa invitations. at yung sim na yun ang gagamitin ko sa pagtetext sa mga tao to confirm kung pupunta sila or hindi. at kami lang ni fiance ang nakakaalam na kami lang din yung nagtext. i don't find it hassle kasi mas importante sakin malaman kung ilan ang expected guests. saka para pati mga boss namin at mga tito tita na undecided eh matext ko na as if ibang tao yung nagtext para magreply sila if coming or not coming sa wedding.

sis mikky21 you might want to consider that option too if you really want to have guests' confirmation prior to your event. i prefer talaga na hindi kilala kasi hihirit pa ng plus 1 guest yung mga invited pag relative or friend lang ang mag mamanage ng RSVP eh. well i guess in my case ganun. wala akong tiwala sa mga ininvite ko na di sila magbibitbit ng additional head eh

Sis shygirlme congrats sis. Graduate ka na pala. Matagal na?

Sis yannuh oo nga e. Ill take note of that sis. Hehe

Sis stylus parang mas maganda nga gawin yun para mahihiya sila. Haha. Para less na rin siguro sa workload ng coord. Kelangan ko kasi talaga maestimate yung bilang ng tao pero maglalagay na rin ako ng buffer kung sakali.

Mga sis, any reviews about hitched weddings by Teena Barretto?? We're planning to get them as OTD kaso wala ako masyadong nakikitang mga reviews about her.

[ANJFinally]

^hi sis try mo sa search bar kung  may makita ka. Di ko sya gaano nababasa sa thread na 'to eh.
As far as I remember, she is the wedding planner of Dong-Yan wedding last year but not sure though if we're talking for the same person.

Happy preps!

@sis mhaymhay0519, this Dec 19 na and i've been feeling petiks:)ewan ko ba!

I just want to post this as a public advisory. My assistant works part time for a wedding coordinator who goes under the name Ann Samiado of Beautiful Weddings. She doesn't seem to have any issues with her.

But a few days ago, a friend of mine discovered her friend was swindled by this coordinator on their wedding day years ago. We've tried to help out, providing leads as to where she can be contacted.
Today the couple sent me pictures of her arrest and going inside jail.

Please be careful who you entrust your wedding to. This is someone who's been coordinating for years but apparently criminal padin.

Hi mga sis any feedback po with Daphney Ligsay Events & Concepts ?

[tiffany24]

Thanks for the head's up sis sparklingjewel, yes mahirap nga magtiwala sa panahon ngayon. Parang may nabasa ko na ka sis natin na siya yung na hire sa thread na to? Hoping wala pang damage sa ka sis natin

There's only one post about Ann Samiado in this forum and it's from an account with only one post. Jan 2017 pa daw ang wedding niya. She was all neverending praises for Ann. I think she may have written it herself. Matagal pa wedding para di makapagprovide ng proof in pictures or what.

^ Thanks for that info sis. Whoa thats scary espc if you got that kind of coordinator for a full planning services and in trusted that person with your supplier payments and stuff. This story reminded me of a previous issue regarding this coordinator na she invested the couple's money somewhere instead of paying for the supplier's services intended for the wedding. Its really scary lalu na these days na usong-uso ang scams! Heads up to all couples!

[peachlipstick]

Hi sis sparklingjewel, saw this vid last night. Parang two years ago pa nga daw hinahanap that coord. This is scary. Better din talaga if you are hands-on sa preps especially sa money matters.

[Chili1113]

^ I heard that the Eastwood police helped the couple find Ann Samiado of Beautiful Weddings. Apparently she has multiple warrants of arrest which is why the police helped them out.

[sparklingjewel]

^Chili1113 Thank you for the heads up about this case. I informed my assistant of her arrest and she will no longer commit to working for the company in December. I showed her the pictures and she confirmed that is the one she works for. Kawawa daw kasi preggy pa. Then again, a crime is a crime!

[Chili1113]

NP sparklingjewel!! Wow, I didnt know the coordinator is expecting a baby. =( But yes, a crime is a crime. And it is especially serious if done multiple times to different people!

hi girls, im a bit torn with imbitado and getting married. both have very good reviews, sa price lang talaga nagkakatalo. in terms of level of service and pagkamatutok sa details and sked, magkapareho ba? i have yet to meet them pero nagset na ako ng appointments. i want someone na may commanding presence and who can help me decide in magulo moments hehe. sa pagpili pa lang ng supplier, paiba iba ako ng factors to consider eh.

[rowan]

thanks chili1113! baka yun na nga mangyari. im so excited to meet them! i plan to drop by getting married's booth at this weekend's bridal fair then a week after, si ayie of imbitado naman. oh my, buti pinaalala mo fireworks! and thanks for the tip! mga major suppliers pa lang meron ako but ill research on the minor expenses na rin:)

[rm1015]

Good morning mga sis, tanong ko lang ano usually mga discounts in mam kutchie sa fair? para in case sa fair kami mag book sayang un discounts eh

[mikky21]

Mga sis. Should i go for otd or full coordination? 10k difference e pero kasi ako i want to scout my suppliers personally para mabusisi ko lahat ng details tsaka para hindi lang yung recommended or tie-up ng coordinator ang options ko for the suppliers. And parang iniisip ko na baka may mga coordinators na pinipilit nila yung ibang suppliers kasi baka may percentage sila sa kita.

Naglilista na ako lahat ng suppliers na natanungan ko ng rates. Medyo kinoconsider ko lang na magfull dahil sa iisang dahilan minsan kasi kung full coordination ang kukunin may mga nabasa ako na yung coordinators nakakakuha sila ng malaking discount sa mga suppliers na they can pass on to the couple. Baka kahit magdagdag ako ng 10k for full coordination macocover up naman yun ng discount na makukuha ko pag sila nagpabook

Ang dami kong sinabi. Hahaha
