Tagaytay Wedding (Thread 14)

[Ziyi]

@nikkipedia Thanks for the info sis! Will follow up with Lourdes na lang din.

@ayouweinlove About the steps dun sa vacation house ngayon ko lang din narealize yun haha. But I wanna check it out personally coz I'm really curious about it. If it won't do for a preps venue, I'd probably recommend it for friends and guests I guess.

For OLLP brides here, who is the current officiating priest for weddings? Ok nman ba yung pari? I read a review here from a bride na although she loves the Church, ang boring daw ng naging ceremony kasi yung pari parang ngbabasa lang the entire time (although 2013 pa yung review na nabasa ko). Awww ayoko ng ganun. I'm thinking of booking Fr. Allen tuloy.

Been reading all posts and getting awesome information. Eyeing December 2016 and tried to contact my shortlist but our preferred date is already booked.

Any Hillcreek Gardens bride here? I'm having second thoughts in booking because we will have to adjust the date already and apparently, they hold simultaneous weddings in one time slot. I'm not sure if I can keep myself settled knowing the music/noise might be too overbearing.

Nakaka-stress indeed!

hello mga Sis!

Aside to Infinite Soul and Madz and Dzhei (both are already booked on my wedding date), who else can you recommend to sing on a reception dinner? We are not looking on a full band since ayaw namin ng masyadong loud. Thanks in advance!

Hi Sis Ziyi! December 16, 2017 naman kami yung FT kakaanounce lang daw ng boss ni Lourdes that day. The day before nya sinabi, wala pa shang alam na date ng next FT. So thank God meron na din scheduled at least mababawasan ang iniiisip ko at makakamove forward na kami kung magiging okay ang lahat. Feeling ko we are so left behind, hindi kami makakilos kasi nga uunahin namin ang Venue and Catering.

Mga sis about sa resthouse, let me know if you want contacts nung sinasabi ko beside Taalena. A little overlooking taal yata, diko na maalala. Hehe I can send photos na din siguro thru email. Big house sha I think can accommodate 20 to 30 pax. For 15 to 20k.

Has anyone heard of Osio's Catering mga sis? Maganda ang offers nila dami din freebies. Haha! Ok din sila sa Rustic and Laguna Based sila. Wala akong makitang reviews gaano both here and w@w. Pero maganda ang setup nila. Nakita ko lang sa FB. Hehe

[Ziyi]

^Sis gwenpiz! Please send me the contact no and pics of the resthouse you were saying. I sent you a message of my email add. 

Mukhang ok din ang Osio's Catering tinignan ko rin sa fb hehe. May sarili silang thread dito sa GT sis http://www.femalenetwork.com/girltalk/index.php/topic,286833.0.html

[gwenpiz]

Hallo sis ziyi! Nasend ko na to you and sis nikki's email

Yup, nakita ko nga yung thread na yun pero wala na kasing nag update. Pero nag post na din ako dun sana may sumagot. Rustic din ang theme nyo?

Sissies baka may marerecommend kayong iba pang Stylists. Si Tita Sonya and Anna Winstel lang kasi ang alam ko as of now. Thanks in advance!

[nikkipedia]

^hi sis pinkonearth, im not a hillcreek bride pero muntik na... as in mag send na kame dapat ng deposit via bank transfer, but then nalaman ni h2b na yung wedding ng friend nya wherein part sya ng entourage last feb. is dun na, so we had a change of heart kasi ang arte nya feeling daw nya ulit-ulitan lang haha.

Going back...posted this at w@w too, yun nga lang medyo hindi kasi private yung event mo dun kasi possible na may kasabay kang wedding din. like yung sa friend ni h2b, kasabay yung sa friend ni yael at karylle, so nung di pa start ang program, nakikiesyoso ang guests sa kabilang wedding and maybe, vice versa. maganda daw yung hillcreek and malawak sya... yung isa pang con na sinasabi ng iba is yung chess board-like floor ng event hall daw, di nila type.

[pinkonearth]

Sis nikkipedia, thank you for your reply and I have a feeling tayo rin magkakausap sa w@w, hahaha!

Naka-ready na rin kami to send the deposit but somehow, it doesn't feel right. Honestly, h2b and I are very simple-minded naman. So willing to adjust just in case.

Feb 2017 bride here at Hillcreek. What we did was book both the Pavilion and Garden just so walang kasabay. We're using the Pavilion so they gave us the Garden at a discounted rate. Since we booked the garden na rin, dun na cocktails area namin. Hope this helps

Mga sis, yung overlooking chalet looks really nice talaga. But I already inquired and they don't allow day guests so can't use that for wedding preps.

Yes sis di nga nila allowed. Ako din nalungkot.. And FYI mga sis pati ang Meteora Tagaytay hindi din nagaallow ng wedding preps although pwede mag prenup photoshoot for 10k fee..

Inquire ko rin sa inyo mga sis, who did you book as emcee or host for your wedding? I just booked Ms. Rio de Guzman of Dazzle Events yesterday and she's really very easy to talk to and marami sya inputs na nashashare sakin dhil OTD din sya. Pm me your email add kung gusto nyo ishare ko snyo yung rates nya.

^Hi sis, nag aallow ba sila to use the venue for pre-nup pictorial?

[Ziyi]

^Hi sis, nag aallow ba sila to use the venue for pre-nup pictorial?

They don't allow ocular sis unless magbobook ka ng overnight. If you do a prenup mgbabayad ka prin ng overnight rate so better sleep over na for a more fun experience. But to be sure you could ask the host directly through airbnb nagrereply sya agad. Here's the link again: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/4927362

[ANJFinally]

^wow thank you sis! ang worry ko baka i charge ng per head yung PV Team and yung mga kasamang mag aassist samin. sayang, sobrang ganda ng place.

[Ziyi]

^oo nga no? baka pwede discounted or something. may caretaker nman na pwede mgbantay at magreport sa host na merong hindi nagovernight. will you let me know sis kung ano reply? Thanks!

[nikkipedia]

^FOLLOWING on this overlooking chalet mga sissies I think it's nice and a bit of a unique place in tagaytay to have a shoot

[girlush]

I'm reading all the post and nakaka-stress. Wala pa kami nasisimulan.

May 2017 yung plan.
kakapamanhikan lang last April 10 but no exact date yet of wedding.
 (seafarer si BF and hindi pa alam exact date na uwe  )

Napuntahan na naming yung Calaruega pero ayaw ni BF. So OLLP or yung San Antonio de Padua.
Hirap mag prepare pag magkahiwalay. 

[Ziyi]

Hi sis @girlush!

Parehas tayo 2017 bride! We chose OLLP dahil maganda at malaki sya and di mahirap hanapin. Although Caleruega is beautiful, I think it would be too small for us because we're expecting 200 guests. And wala na rin kasi syang wow factor sakin dahil back in college, dun kami madalas nagreretreat.

I have wedding templates of things to do, wedding timeline, suppliers to book etc.. If you want I can send them to you para makatulong din sa pag-paplan mo. 

[ayouweinlove]

^hi sis ziyi, true wala na rin wow factor sa akin ang caleruega, kasi dun na kami nagretreat. initially, gusto ko siya dati nung highschool pa lang ako. pero now that ang dami ng kinakasal doon parang hindi na siya appealing sakin.

^hi sis girlush, hindi ba kapag seaman may fix months ang contract? dun ka magbased sis and alot ka ng atleast a month or two na nandito na siya before the wedding para maasikaso nyo ang documents needed ng church like marriage license, 120 days lang kasi valid yun. may marriage banns din dapat na 3weeks bago irelease kapag sa catholic church kayo. (this is according sa admin staff ng napili naming church) mabilis din mabook ang mga churches sa tagaytay na as far as 2018.

[nikkipedia]

^sis Ziyi, OLLP's altar is beautiful and with long aisle, and perfect location... I guess sa pinili kong church wala magrereklamo na ang layo naman or ang hirap hanapin. Haha...sis i know it's too early but do you happen to have a copy na of OLLP missalette? thanks!

^sis ayouweinlove, I haven't seen Calaruega in person, I think it's beautiful pati paradise feel ng chapel outside. I initially liked to be wed there but true, sobrang dame na kinakasal dun ngayon na parang dapat 3yrs before ka magbook if Sat. wedding gusto mo. Nabasa ko din sa review na may parent na nagsabi sa bride, Anak.. tatlong hakbang lang ang aisle.. well, it's a chapel.

^Hello sis ^girlush kaya mo yan you still have one more year to prepare. booking suppliers is an easy thing to do. (we're both overseas) basta research research ka lang. but i guess, doing those lil stuffs is ANOTHER thing. much harder. and advantage mo, andyan ka sa Pinas. I have less than a yr to prepare for my wedding. So lil time for me. Think positive, kayang kaya mo yan sis
