How much is your wedding budget? Part 7

[blue_girl]

Our set budget was 1M I honestly thought that was more than enough given the wedding location will be at Pampanga it turns out its just like Manila in terms of rates and standards.

We booked the Church and Reception with food which turns out to be almost half of our budget already.

Then I tried researching the best local suppliers:

Dress:
Mak Tumang always shows - he quoted me 120K starting  but its Mak tumang I googled another which frequently turns Glen Canlas he quoted me 70k starting 

Photographer:
Paolo Feliciano is at 150k (for the best package) + 20k for prenup

Videographer
Kquentors - no quote yet estimate around 100k as its usual partnered with Paolo Feliciano

Coordinator
Voltaire Zalamea is around 50k (semi) and 70k (full)

by the looks of it we will be over 1M already flowers are not yet even included

Most of my suppliers were recommended by my wedding planner.

Who is your wedding planner?

Hi LilaFowler, I was wondering who your suppliers in Bohol are? I'm planning my wedding for March 2018. Having some issues with my local wedding planner. Supposedly they're full service but they're really slow with feedback.

[litspryte]

@LilaFowler my wedding planner is Supreme Weddings. They have good reviews online, but I'm becoming  frustrated with how they communicate with me. I hired them a month ago and they're not very good with answering my questions. Simple things like "how much is the package from this supplier", hindi pa masagot.

I haven't even received a budget sheet from them.   

[LilaFowler]

We're having a Tagaytay wedding on March 2018 and our initial budget was 500K pero hindi na namin nasunod hindi pa tapos ang wedding but our budget blew up to 650K na as of today. Trying to remove all unnecessary expenses na. 

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

^Hello Sis, kami din 500k supposedly budget, umabot ng 700k lahat na (+ 100k sa minimoon and 200k expenses since it's our annual vacation too) , ok lang yan wag masyado magfocus sa pera, andyan na yan eh, try nalang magbudget pa sa pwede pa tipirin, and just savor the moment, during and after our wedding maski piso ginastos namin wala kaming regrets. 

[ChixC18]

^ OMG! 700K ang galing niyo sis. Hoping na hindi umabot sa 700K yung amin. LOL. BTW sis, how much ang total gastos mo for your honeymoon? Nakita ko sa FB mo sa Shang kayo! Super ganda ng place! 

[Deawana18]

500k din samin pero almost 800k na ngayon. Hindi kami marunong magbudget! Hahaha! Kayod galore nalang. Lol!

[kdramaholic]

When we planned our wedding ang budget namin was 500k, until mas nangibabaw ang wants at nakakalula pala ang mga presyo ng suppliers haha! Di kami informed Hahaha! Overall I think we ended up at almost 1M kasama na lahat lahat pero walang honeymoon! Konting kembot na lang 1M na LOL! But it was all worth it! Looking back, wala kaming regrets! We are very much happy sa outcome.. Pero shempre wala naman perfect, may mga flaws at disappointments pero mas nangibabaw pa din how happy we are until now, kahit na nung January pa kami kinasal. May wedding high pa din paminsan-minsan. Lalu na pag binabalik balikan namin yung feeling tapos yung prayer namin na di umulan that day na natupad super saya!

Also, kakakuha lang namin ng copy ng Wedding Videos, super satisfied naman kami sa work ng Treehouse Story! Magaling at napakaayos nila magtrabaho. I highly recommend them!

^ OMG! 700K ang galing niyo sis. Hoping na hindi umabot sa 700K yung amin. LOL. BTW sis, how much ang total gastos mo for your honeymoon? Nakita ko sa FB mo sa Shang kayo! Super ganda ng place! 

Sis! Oo dapat mag Maldives kami since di naman masyado nalalayo presyo, kaso super gahol na sa oras, 4 days after the wedding kailangan na bumalik ni Husband dito sa Qatar. Around 100k Sis, lahat na, nasa 20k/night sa Shangri La magandang room na yun sea view and world class na breakfast buffet, airfare let's say mga 10k, 30k pocket money/foods.  Sarap don, di kami nagsisi! We're super happy with how our wedding turned out, walang halong echos, and all the more happier na nakinig kami sa advise samin na dumiretso sa mini honeymoon namin. Maski gahol oras, malapit lang naman Boracay, 3 days kami nag-chill, kumain, uminom nag activities. Worth it! Pero kung madami kayong time, maganda din Coron, Cebu, Caramoan and El Nido, meron din mga high end beach resorts dun para mas madami activities and mapuntahan. 

[VJBC0513]

nakakastress as of now 850k na [textspeak!] kailangan naming bunuin huhu di pa kasama ang crew meals plus yung honeymoon and yung OTD preparation 😔

[ChixC18]

^Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore - Gusto ko nga din mag Maldives sis, pero wala din time after wedding 1 week lang ang leave namin ni H2B so malabo ang out of the country samin.  Plan namin bumalik ng Japan sa October nalang siguro. Pero after wedding baka nga Boracay, Coron, Bohol or Misibis Bay ang choices namin. Been to Bora na before pero gusto ko padin bumalik may something talaga sa Bora na gustong gusto ko yung feels pag andon Haha! Nakapag Caramoan, Cebu and El Nido nadin kami so kung babalik kami ng palawan baka Coron naman maganda din naman daw don. Hehe! Bet ko yung Shang and Henann Resort sa Bora sis! E nakita ko post mo na nag Shang kayo kaya might as well ask. Hihi. Thank sis!!!

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

^True, iba din feels sa Boracay no lalo kung night life habol mo, aww gahol din pala kayo sa oras, Mag Maldives kami sa vacation namin, hopefully matuloy na talaga, pero bucket list namin eh since super beach lovers kami, kaya talaga ipush namin Maldives! Madami naman maganda sa'tin, we're nothing short of beach paradise, goal din namin Siargao, Bayud to be exact, check mo! High end din puro Celebs guests nila, pero di kamahalan. 

[JandC2017]

I am struggling to survive more or less 150K for 100 pax.   

[st3ph_17]

Hi ladies, if you're working within a budget, try using our Request Quote service (free!) http://blissandblush.com/request-for-quotes/ wherein you provide the details of what you need (i.e. wedding gown, photo, video, prenup, cake, etc) and your budget as well. Then Philippine Wedding Suppliers who can work within your budget will send their quotes to you via email.

This saves you time from having to email each and every supplier and end up emailing those not within your price range or who are not available on your day.  No obligation to book if you don't like any of the quotes.

Please give it a try since it's free! http://blissandblush.com/request-for-quotes/

Going back to this thread. Sabi ko dati 400k lang kami but nooo, nasa 600k na!

Biglang lobo nung sinama namin transpo and accommodation ng relatives from the province T_T

Hindi pa kasama honeymoon sa 600k ah. Haha! Nakakaloka.

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

Ganyan talaga Sis kami noon plano 500k lang, naging 700k hehe + honeymoon (100k) and gastos sa bakasyon since OFW kami, inabot kami halos 1m kasama mga prenup, all in na yan.

[tomatostellar]

Feeling ko nga, kakabasa ko dito and sa WaW, lalo ata dumadami yung mga gusto ko idagdag haha!
Pero medyo nahihila naman pabalik basta isipin ko lang "Dapat may matira pa din after/Mas important yung may pang gastos after wedding"
