Hi, I recently helped out a good friend with her wedding in boracay.

For transpo, we used Southwest Travel, it didnt matter wheather they came from caticlan or kalibo. Jusst buy a ticket from southwest and they deliver your guests straight to your designated hotel, they even have people to carry your luggage and guide you to your hotel. Very very convenient.

For items, we shipped them or had the hotel take care of it. We planned a simple wedding so most of the stuff we used were local nalang.

Hi Ex and future Boracay Brides,

I've been reading this thread this past few days now and Congrats to those that got married in Boracay. I saw some Wedding Videos and Photos and it's so inspiring to do it too. :) Anyway, I was wondering about the document requirements if kasal na and just want to have wedding ceremony in Boracay or like Wedding Vow Renewal. Is there any Legal Documents na we need to acquire?

Also to those ex brides that held the ceremony in Estacio Uno, how was their basic set up like? Like their flowers included in the package? Needed ba talaga na maghire ng event stylist to set up the place? Sorry Newbie here. Or to anyone that already did it, how much was the budget we need to save? I am really clueless about it.

Hopefully someone can help me. thank you in advance. :)

Hello Sisters!

Happy New Year!  Hope everyone had a blast!

Back to topic.
Could some of you post your wedding suppliers for your Boracay Wedding?
If God permits, I would like to have a church wedding and then the reception at Shangri-La.  The beach wedding looks gorgeous too, but it doesn't look solemn for the ceremony.  I don't think the priests allows it too.  I would like to have the beach arrangement but it might be redundant na.  What do you think?
Hope you could post here how you did yours.
If we get Amanda Tirol will she arrange for everything na ba?
Sorry I'm totally clueless with this wedding planning thingy.

TiA!!! :)

hi madame_ekis , we will also be having our Catholic Church wedding in Boracay. sa 2018 pa. As Catholics, we are restricted to have the ceromony outside the Church. I read there can be some exemptions, pero kailangan ng approvals from high Church authorities, parang ganun... we got Amanda Tirol as coordinator.  we are based overseas, never ever visited Boracay, so una ko talaga hinanap ang coordinator at wala din naman ako idea how to plan. i first enquired thru emails, then  skype calls.. 3 coordinators I enquired - Amanda Tirol, Ronald Soncio, and Mulberry. I would suggest send them emails too and request for skype calls din see who will attend to you in the best way. :) So far, Amanda has already helped us booked the Church. She really responds to all queries in a timely manner.  :)

Thanks sis kimmmyyy!

Yeah planning for 2018 din pero wala pa din kami date until now kaya mejo na sstress na ako kasi baka wala na ko ma book n venue and suppliers na gusto ko.  That's actually the main reason why I can't even contact any suppliers to inquire.  I'm not sure how much in demand ang Boracay for weddings.  I just hope na available pa yung date (once meron na) for the church and other suppliers.

Will Amanda provide like a list of Suppliers for you to choose from?  As much as possible I'd like to book local suppliers para menos na ang Out-of-Town Fees.  I just hope maganda yung gawa nila.  I've been researching for suppliers na pero ang hirap pag Boracay halos wala ako makita na reliable reviews online.

TiA! :)

Hi madame_eksis! yup Amanda provided us list of local suppliers with sample links of their works. 😊 we are relying on boracay suppliers too. although some suppliers are willing to waive OOTF  magastos pa rin to shoulder their airfares and accomodations.

Hello Ladies,

your wedding coordinator should have a list of  local boracay suppliers. You can also widen your search on Panay Based suppliers specially from Ilo2x as there are a lot of wedding suppliers there and their rates should be almost the same.

Thanks kimmmyyy and fat_pat!

Ok update lang mas naging magulo pa ngayon ang planning ko because H2B prefers to have it in Cebu kasi mas convenient daw sa overseas guests.  So there nadagdagan pa ang dilemma ko.  I am now scouring the net for suppliers from both Boracay and Cebu para ma compare ko and justify the pros and cons of which is gonna be better, on top of wala pa din kami date ng wedding!

I'm sorry!  I'm sounding like a confused and frustrated kid.

Breathe muna ... Ok... ok moving on.

Ok some questions lang about Suppliers.  (Total newbie in this wedding planning thing so pardon some ignorant questions)

Photo and Video
--- Not sure what should be inclusive but in general ano ba dapat ang iexpect besides sa ususal Prenup, Save the Date, Wedding Videos, SDE?  Will it be the same across all?

PhotoBooth, and Event Stylist
--- meron bang supplier nyan sa Boracay?

Flowers and Decors (Church and Reception), and HMU (Bride and Entourage)
--- Do you know any highly recommended supplier?

Church Requirements
--- Do you need to attend seminars and process papers in person sa Boracay?  How is this done?  Both me and H2B are abroad btw. 

Sorry for my ignoramus questions.

Hi sis kimmy! First time ko mag post on this thread. Im also April 2018 bride. Nagpabook nadin kami sa Holy Rosary Parish kay Ms Mylin, secretary sa church, Kaso sabi nya bawal na daw ang outsider na florist. Sa kanila na daw kukuha. Sila na magpprovide..  Flower set up starting from 15k up. Nag aalanagan ako baka di namin magustuhan. Same din ba sinabi nya sa inyo? TIA

@lizza, sis yes ganyan din sinabi sa min ni amanda. 😊 they have standard setup from accredited florist. 10 options un available. she sent me photos.. para sa amin ok naman sya. we are getting the 15k  worth package. pwde din daw ipa upgrade, subject for approval. 😊 may venue ka na ba? i'm still torn sa mga venue options! happy preps sa atin!


sisies, bros, anyone please.. can you give me idea how much will it cost for reception styling?di naman kami picky.. we like minimalist setup lang. i saw estacio uno's basic setup pero di ko nagustuhan. wala na sana kami balak gumastos pa ng extra para sa styling. if we set 10k extra budget may mararating na ba un? 30guests lang din kami so maliit na setup lang naman un? our other venue option is Sea Wind.. pero di kasi kami familiar sa menu nya.. any feedbacks on SeaWind menu please? naisip ko mas mukha intimate un area ng SeaWind kay Estacio Uno or same lang ba? third option, The Lind,i like their setup, it could be my dream wedding!hahaha but budget wise mas makakatipid kami ng malaki dun sa dalawa.. i need to do the math first! >_<

looking forward to hear your thoughts to help us plan!😊

@kimmy,

It really depends on the quality of flowers, and  the quantity.  What I have learned (and may not be applicable for the venue you have chosen), that if they are just small upgrades from what the resort is providing better ask the resort to upgrade it with a cost.

Some of the options for budget friendly styling is Florista Boracay and Judan Vargas, and the high end ones are Teddy Manuel and Vatel


Madam Ekis,


For your questions: 
Photo and Vid: Basic Premise is - The more add ons the pricier it will be, do always check for the package inclusion. Most of the video package you will encounter will only include SDE, and wedding highlights, save the date, full wedding docu are add-ons. And no they are not the same, SDE is usualla 3-5 mins film to summarize the days event and shown at end of reception, highligst are usually 8-15 mins summary of the wedding with some of the speeches and enterntainment shown.

For Photos: Prenup is always an add-on,  always check on also on the inclusion like photo albums  and min. no. of edited photos.

Do you have a Photo and video supplier already? If you want to save on money there are several P&V supplier in boracay that would save you from Out of town fees, lodging fees, and Airfares that are usually included on top of your chosen package by Manila Based supplier. You can also widen your parameters to Iloilo based P&V as they charge the same also, and there are a lot of options in Iloilo.

Options are:

Photo - Pleiocene (highly recommended), Lovetrain, Enrico Nepomuceno, Bordoy, Donnie Magbanua, Vaggo nozze

Video - Lula Films, Mayad, Enrico Nepomuceno


Let me know if you need some suggestion on  P&V.

Photobooth & Event Styling:
Photobooth - I think Enrico Nepomuceno has photobooth, and you can try also what we used on our wedding which is the instaprint, guest just need to upload pics in IG and used certain Hashtag and it will automatically be printed.

Flowers - Try Florista

HMUA - Recommended is May Jasmin Labao or Fern Quimpo ( we chose May Jasmin)

Thanks fat_pat!

Thanks for patiently explaining the different inclusions of the video packages, and Congratulations on your wedding! 

As of now we have not reached a decision of which suppliers to get.  We are (just me actually) still at the canvassing suppliers stage.  I've manage to shortlist my top 3 suppliers and made the inital inquiry, although I'm having a massive OMG moment when I saw the latest rates.  :o :o :o 
So we might change and look for a more affordable but still of quality output suppliers.  I'm hoping for a less wallet destructive wedding.   

I don't know any Boracay Suppliers so I might need a few suggestions. 

This wedding planning thing is giving me unwanted stress its not even funny. >:(

I'll pm you for the details. 

TiA!

Hello Madame,

See below for our output video and photo from Lulafilms and Pleiocene.

https://vimeo.com/user61316064


They are Ilo2x based supplier, so they dont charge OTF and Airfare, and a big plus also is what they will quote you will be all in so, no need to worry about accomodations.


Von of Pleiocene is very professional and a real artist. He was a pioneer member of one of the top photo and video company in the philippines, so for sure his resume is  a big plus already. But his own work, would show  you how he is an artist in his own right.

See some previous work by him and his team

Our p/v who will cover our weding this march 25 also covered my friends wedding only charged 40k, they are based in pasig but did not charge out of town, they only asked for roundtrip and they insisted manila-caticlan-manila route. Instead of prenup, they did a postnup in boracay the next day after their wedding.

To the past and present Boracay brides:

Has anybody used the Full Coordination services of Mulberry Events? 
Any comments with their coordinating service?
Do they deliver well?

I'm currently torn between AT and Mulberry mostly due to the price difference. 

TiA!

Hi ladies!

We will be having our prenup next month sa Boracay.. I just would like to ask if you know any supplier who can provide me a bouquet and a flower crown? Pang arte arte lang sana during the shoot. Hehe!

Also, I wanted a smoke bomb / smoke color sana. Or kahit sparklers. Kaso meron kaya nun sa boracay? Bawal daw kasi magdala ng ganon sa plane eh.

Hope you can help me out. Thank you!

Hi! For the floral crown and bouquet, maybe you can try florista boracay or teddy manuel? Both are local suppliers.
