Hi Girls!

Just want to share Part 1 of my Suppliers Review and Ratings. 

Church - National Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus: 10/10
Peso Power: 7000
non aircon, with pianist & soloist, flower pedestals only
I was a devotee of St. Jude kaya non-nego ang Church. Kahit marami nagsuggest na mag Batangas / Tagaytay wedding, big no-no na kagad ang sagot. It fits our requirement; short aisle, not the typical rectangular shaped, maaliwalas at simple lang ang altar. Malinaw ang sound system on all parts of the church and well ventilated kahit hindi yung 20k aircon package ang inavail namin. May parking area at dahil nasa loob ng Malacanang complex, minimal lang ang mga possible photobomber na mga ate at kuya

Church admin: 5/10
Just want to rant na hindi masyadong accommodating si Ms. Leidee ng 50%. We wanted sana na matapos nang maaga lahat ng church requirements namin pero lagi nya sagot, tatawagan na lang. hindi naman tumatawag para sa schedule, kung hindi pa kami magpabalik balik para mangulit. She said they’ll provide the missalette pero a week before nya lang binigay yung reference lang ng readings and gospel. 3 days before the wedding, we came to her and asked kung okay na ba lahat? All set for our Sunday wedding, oo daw. Then the day before she called and said na kailangan na daw namin magfull payment. So isiningit pa namin pagdaan sa church to settle the payment.
 
Officiating Priest - Monsignor Noly Que: 100/10
We just simply love Monsi! After the wedding, isa sya sa palaging binabanggit samin ng guests na ang galing daw ng officiating priest namin. His homily was about the secret to a happy marriage. Ang linaw nya magsalita kaya lahat nakikinig talaga mabuti. Sya din nagbigay samin ng sample missalette at ang St. Peter Shrine ang nag email samin ng format. Very thankful talaga kami sa kanila!

Wedding Rings – Esotico Jewelry 10/10
Peso Power: 28,500 (from orig price of 71,000 daw)
We got them on bridal fair, with free arrhae na maganda

Prep Venue: City Garden Suites 9/10
Peso Power: 19,000
We booked 2 penthouse suites as prep rooms. Then we extended 1 room for one more night after the wedding. Both are 100 sqm in area pero mukang mas malaki yung bridal room dahil pahaba which is just okay dahil sa bridal room naman ang make up area for entourage. I liked that nasa pinakadulo ng mahabang room ang mismong kwarto, somehow di ko masyado nalaman ang mga ganap sa living room. Less stress. Walang palakad lakad at mga unnecessary na kumakausap sakin. The aircon works well. Kulang lang ang parking. So yung iba naming sasakyan naka street parking lang. Pwede magpasok ng outside food, walang corkage fee. Same floor lang ang rooms namin ni hubby kaya convenient para sa suppliers magpabalik balik. Additional 600 per person kung magsstay overnight in excess of 2 max of 4. Pero unlimited number of persons ang allowed during preps. At walang photoshoot fee

HMUA – Nini Marquez: 10/10
Peso Power: 14,000
Air brush Bride + 1 mother traditional + Groom
Our call time is 7am. The night before nagtext si Ms. Nini na by 6am daw sana nakaligo na ako at naka breakfast para di kami gahulin sa time. I replied “yes”. Come wedding day, at 5:30am, tumawag ang receptionist, nandyan na daw si Ms. Nini!! Wow! Tulog pa ako nakakahiya!! hehe! But she’s very very nice. At makwento. She came all the way from Lipa, Batangas pa pero ang aga pa rin nya dumating. She asked what I wanted for my make up and for my hair. I said I want my eyes to be defined kasi I have this condition na mabilis mapagod yung facial nerves ko. At evident talaga yung pagod thru my eyes. At dahil di ko napipikit completely yung eyes ko, nalagyan ng setting spray kahit tinatakpan ni Ms. Nini. Kaya nagluluha left eye ko all day. But nonetheless, she did great on my make! And long lasting! I also loved my hair!

Bridal Gown and accessories - Bride House PH: 9/10
Peso Power: 30,000
Gown with complete accessories (veil, secondary veil, cord, arrhae holder with coins, arrhae pillow, ring pillow, petticoat, garter and hair piece)
I can say that I’m a happy Bridehouse bride. What I liked about them is that they update me from time to time kung ano na ang progress ng gown ko. I guess it pays din to be makulit. I asked if I can have 3rd fitting before the final fitting (so magiging 4 fittings) kasi I want to see the neck detail muna bago ikabit. Para kung di ko bet, wala na lang neck detail. Pumayag naman sila. When I saw the initial cut, I asked them to change the pattern. Then change from lace to embroidery para sa bodice since di pa naman nagawa. Okay naman sa kanila then they send me thru viber kung ano na progress. They even confirm kung go na ba, ikakabit na ba nila. Kaya when I got my gown, walang gulatan as what happened to previous brides. I’m happy na naaddress na nila yung issue na yun.

Siguro the minus 1 point goes to the scheduling lang. Though hindi naman nila kasalanan na ganado magfit ng maraming rtw gowns yung mga nag iinquire. But I suggest they provide a separate room for inquiries and a separate room for fitting ng bride house brides para mafollow yung appointment time. Pwede naman mag entertain si Ms. Carmen sa mga nag iinquire pero check nya rin saglit yung bride na nagfifit. Suggestion lang naman para everybody happy at walang matagal na naghihintay.

Bridal Car – APerfectDayWedCar: 9/10
Peso Power: 7500 + 2500 for 1 hour extension
We got white Chrysler 300c. On time dumating ang car, mabait at makwento si kuya driver, malinis ang loob at labas ng car and higit sa lahat, super tinted. We arrived 30 minutes earlier the ceremony time. At kahit nasa harap lang ng church entrance yung bridal car, walang nakakakita sakin. Pero ako, nakikita ko silang lahat. The minus 1 point goes to my panghihinayang lang siguro. Hehe. Now I realize na nice to have lang pala ang bridal car. Goodbye 10k na kagad yun tapos yung personal cars namin nakapark lang sa bahay nung wedding.

Groom’s Barong – Kultura Filipino MOA: 10/10
Peso Power: 5500
We are happy we found Kultura at SM MOA, ang daming choices for barong at maganda ang quality. Perfect fit for the groom at bagay sa kanya yung style.

Prep Lunch – The Walking Pantry: 10/10
Peso Power: 5650
(good for 40 pax: 1 viand, 2 cups of rice, 1 side dish, 1 bottled water, 1 dessert)
Masarap ang food, very affordable and on-time delivery!

To follow na lang yung reception suppliers, maybe later or tomorrow

[vhena14]

[pinaydiaspora]

[stylus]

Thanks sis vhena14 and sis pogi02!

@Pinaydiaspora - paranaque based yata si walking pantry. 450 ang delivery charge nya sakin, manila area lang kami. Once lang kami nagpadeliver. Lunch lang namin at ng suppliers. 20 orders ng chicken with mushroom and 20 orders liempo. Mainit naman yung food nung dumating. At ang importante- on time. Sakto sa breaktime ng suppliers kaya on sched kami lahat nung wedding. Walang pasaway sa oras.

@Shyxiena - alam ko taga alabang si Ms. Nini. At may nagbanggit na bride last time na walang oot charge si Ms. Nini pag south area. Alabang muntinlupa tagaytay batangas Check mo fb nya sis. Mabilis naman sya magreply. Sa ento ko 1k per head ang hmu nila. Kung marami magpapa make up na ento baka makahingi ka discount

[shygirlme]

Thankyou mga sis

[stylus]

This is my long over due part 2:

Reception Venue – Ramon Magsaysay Hall: 9/10
Peso Power: 21,500

We really liked our reception venue. We even visited the place more than 5 times during preps. We liked that wall and ceiling finish were wooden texture, maganda effect ng lighting pag gabi. We reserved the place for 4pm-8pm but set up time of suppliers started at 10am. Parking area is just along Roxas Blvd service road. Okay ang aircon at malinis ang restrooms. We liked also na malaki yung open area right before you enter the hall; ideal for cocktail area, waiting / gathering place for the guests.

Caterer: Hizon’s Catering 7/10
Peso Power: 140,000

We got a good deal with Hizon’s. I must say this is one of the perks of having a husband that is good at sales talk and negotiations- we got Hizon’s package at a very low price of 140k good for 200 pax. (700 per head)

Despite some negative feedback sa lasa ng food ni Hizon’s, I can say that I am giving them 10/10 dahil ang daming nagsabi na masarap ang food. After our wedding, kusa nagtetext samin yung mga nagpuntang guests na ang sarap daw ng handa namin. Even after my vacation leave, pagbalik ko sa office, yung food pa rin ang pinag uusapan na masarap daw. Most of them said na gusto pa nila kumain dahil marami pang food pero nakailang balik na daw sila at busug na busog na sila.

Maganda rin ang styling at set up per table. Nasunod ang napag usapan during detailing! Everyone loved the flowers!! Matched with our motif.

The minus 1 point goes to the backdrop styling; na hindi masyado nasunod yung napag usapan.
The other minus 1 point goes to the quantity of appetizer.
Another minus 1 point goes to the doves – walang doves!!

We already sent an email to LA to know what actually happened. Overall, despite these 3 items, we were happy and satisfied with Hizon’s. Okay lang na may nakalimutan silang details. Kesa nakalimutan nila sarapan yung food. Sabi nga ng friend ko, pag ang wedding walang glitches, hindi daw masaya. Fine! Hehe.

Cake – Hizon’s Catering 10/10
Peso Power: 5,000

Dahil di naming priority ang cake, di na kami nageffort mag inquire sa iba. Kay Hizon’s na lang kami kumuha ng cake para pagdating ng food, tables and chairs, kasama na ang cake. I sent LA the specifics of the cake. At nasunod naman ang napag usapan.

Lechon – Lydia’s Lechon 10/10
Peso Power: 18,000

Dalawang masarap na lechon, on-time delivery at masarap ang sauce lalo pag pinaksiw after wedding!

Ceiling Swags: by Janis Guererro Dejon 20/10
Peso Power: 8,000

One of our favorite suppliers! We didn’t have a budget for venue styling. Since hindi kasama sa services ni Hizon’s ang ceiling swags, we search thru the net and found this in olx. At first, we were quite hesitant if this supplier is legit because she just sent us a quotation instead of a contract.

We asked if we can pay in full on the day of event and she agreed! To be honest, hindi kami nag expect na may ceiling drapes kami pagpasok sa venue kasi hindi naman kami nagbigay ng dp. At walang formal communication nor confirmation na yes, go, shoot ang transaction namin. Pananalig lang ang meron kami na san asana sana oagpasok ng venue ay may swags.

When we had our reception entrance, wow ang ganda ng swags! Malinis ang pagkakakabit. Just the way I wanted to see it na malinis ang termination!

Emcee – Thoffy Consulta 10/10
Peso Power: 7,000

Yes, we got Thoffy Consulta of Events by Thoffy as our program emcee! We liked his ideas and his enthusiasm! Para kaming may 2nd team ng wedding coordinator. Sya na nag nagdala ng props para sa games. He even brought his own dj para in synch na sila. Twice kami nag meet prior to our wedding at lagi syang mas maaga samin dumadating. He listened to our suggestions at kung ano yung mga preferred namin for the program, kinonsider nya talaga.

Dami rin nagpost sa hashtag namin dahil sa kanya. Masaya lahat ng guests and what we loved most about him ay yung hindi nya pinagttripan yung couple most especially the groom pag kukunin na yung garter. Pati yung mga mahiyain naming relatives na usually madali maintimidate sa ibang tao, comfortable sila during our wedding. at nagpaparticipate sila sa games. At kami sa harap ng venue, ang sarap lang panoorin yung mga bisita na masaya sila sa araw na pinaghirapan at pinaghandaan namin. Basta our reception program was very fun, lively and engaging because of Thoffy!

Photo and Video – DLPro Photography and Video 9/10
Peso Power: 44,000

Magaan sila katrabaho at maalaga. Pagdating pa lang nila sinabi ko na kagad na may health issues ako, di ko kaya tumingin nang matagal sa camera at di ko  kaya magsmile nang matagal. Very patient naman sila and understanding. They would always ask me kung kaya pa, kung rest muna, kung stop na.

Habang kumakain pa lang ng dinner ang mga tao, ready na ang SDE kaya lahat ng guests nakapanood. Maganda rin yung growing up avp at prenup avp na ginawa nila para sa amin.

Lights and Sounds – LST Mobile 10/10
Peso Power: 11,500

Happy that they delivered well. Maganda nag lighting, walang nagging technical problems, hindi palpak ang mic, music, sound system. 

Lifesize Letters - Limeworks Life-Size Letters 10/10
Peso Power: 4,200

Easy to transact with and mabenta pang photo op ang A & C letters!! good choice instead na pinaopen namin ang fountain sa RMH. At first we were thinking kung anong pwedeng additional attraction until I found out about Limeworks. Sobrang sulit. Ang ganda lalo na nung madilim na.

Tokens for Principal Sponsors - Chocolate Confections 10/10
Peso Power: 5,500

11 pcs, box of chocolates with wine.
Ang sarap ng chocolates! At bongga ang packaging!

Mobile Bar - GQ Mobile Bar 8/10
Peso Power: 8,500

Hmm.. nakuha lang namin ang feedback from our guests. Nung dumating daw ang mga tao sa reception at nagrequest sila ng drink from the bar, medyo matagal daw magprepare yung mga barista. Not sure kung di pa sila tapos magset up pero di daw kagad naaccommodate ang guests kaya yung iba pumasok na lang sa venue at uminom na lang ng iced tea.
Pero may mga nagsabi naman na naenjoy nila ang bar. hehe

OTD Coordinator - 7ten5 Events 9/10
Peso Power: 11,000

Last but not the least- We are very thankful for 7Ten5 Events for all the help and the assistance! Very professional and dependable kaya hindi talaga kami nagdalawang isip na sa kanila ipagkatiwala lahat lahat lahat! Hindi namin naramdaman na supplier namin sila kundi parang relative na nag aasikaso at tumutulong para maging successful yung event.

Minus 1 point lang para sa minor glitches. Mas marami silang nagawa para sa convenience at efficiency ng wedding kesa sa mga maliit na sablay.

Nung wala pa kaming supplier para sa church flowers, sa tita na lang ni Sir Lowell. Kung ano yung pic ng gusto kong arrangement, yun nga ang nakita ko sa church pagpasok ko.

Nung sinabi ko during last meeting na gusto ko ng balloons kaso no time na to look for supplier, siya na lang din daw ang bahala, reimburse na lang nila how much ever. After the ceremony, may balloons nga!!

During preps, naalala namin na usapan nga pala we will provide umbrellas para pangtakip samin before our reception entrance, nakalimutan namin magdala. Sabi ni Sir Lowell, sya na rin daw bahala. Pagdating sa reception, naka motif din ang big umbrellas! Ang galing! hehe

[juwie]

Congrats sis stylus!!!
I'm glad Limeworks worked well with you 😊 di ako nagkamali sa pag recommend. Hehe

[marjin]

joining in

[gelitorres]

congrats sis stylus!! graduate na!

[daeyan]

The ratings that exceed to 10 means they are more than what i expected. They are the suppliers who performed more than i asked from them and more than their rates. My suppliers are not super known. Never heard pa nga yung iba dito sa GT but i trusted them and sticked with them till the big day. Wala akong pinagsisihan. So im sharing this with you just my simple way to thank them because really, i cant thank them enough sa performance nila. 🤗

Church: caleruega nasugbu batangas (15k)
9/10. My dream wedding place has finally came true. Since highschool, ive been dreaming for this church. Yung solemnity ng place saka yung galing ni fr. Allen maghomily, grabe, what more can you ask for. The wedding is really for us. I mean, hindi sya generalized. All the homily was made to describe me and eugene and that makes the visitors asked me if we knew fr. Allen personally. No. We dont know him. But he said to send our lovestory and background and he made the mass personalized for us. Even the personal vows, it was dont by fr. Allen in a way that makes us cried so much. The reason why 9 lang is because late si fr allen ng 20 mins. 😞

Catering and styling: queensland catering (110k)
12/10. Or if i can rate them more than that, i will. I was amazed. And up to now, me and my husband and all the visitors praises the food. Actually, i rated them a lot because they exceed to my expectations. Ang daming bad reviews sa kanila, even my coord told us some bride's bad encounters sa queensland. But wow! Yung setup grabe. Super duper elegante, super duper ganda and ALL, defined ALL ang higit pa sa pinagusapan namin ang ginawa nila! Yes. No exag descriptions but thats true. They even made a bride and groom advices na paper na supposedly is sa amin mangagaling. And yung waiters nila, mababaet. I read bad reviews about the waiters, but they have proven me wrong. They have i think is the head waiter who assisted us na i thought, coord din siya kasi super asikaso sa amin during sa cakecutting and wine toasting. Yung iced tea namin is unlimited and they really served yung pang unlimited talaga kahit pa, sa amin nanggaling ang iced tea and sila lang nagtimpla. Properly distributed din yung dala namin na nachos, tart and peanuts. Also, andun si michelle galdiano. Siya ang AE ko and upto the end of the program, andun sya to supervise. For 445per head plus some upgrades, queensland satisfied not me and my husband but all of us. 😊 upto now, all praises kami sa queensland and we will definitely hire them again! For a fee of less than 115k i guess with the best food, awesome styling, nice waiters and overflowing foods, they were really my top suppliers!

Reception: bali village hotel sylvinas pavillion (57k)
9/10. Very nice, kahit konting styling lang pak na siya. The reason why i made it 9 lang is because mainit sa loob and hindi enough yung naprovide na fan sa amin. Yun lang naman. Hehe. Good thing umulan ng saglit (which is blessing for us) kaya pumresko. But nice ceiling, nice people and staffs and spacious area.

Preps: BALI village hotel (12k)
10/10. Ang laki ng room and very rustic ang dating. Plus they gave special considerations sa early buffet breakfast. Super accommodating din ang staffs and napakawarm nilang lahat. They allowed me Also to do the retouching dun na lang sa office nila because i didnt want to go pa sa room namin.

Florist: tessia florist (8500k)
11/10. The reason is because i was able to get here in the cheapest rate, nice flowers and i just let her do what she thought is nice kasi im not really particular sa flowers. Plus point pa na siya ang nagcommentator for us without asking any fee! She brought din yung flowers from church to bali village kaya super duper over sulit. Kudos to memento for this referral.

Lights and sounds: purple mix lights and sounds (11k)
10/10. Sir chris gave us more than yata sa package namin sa ganda ng lights and sounds. Hindi sabog, hindi masakit sa tenga and buhay na buhay ang place kahit pa morning wedding kami. Plus any song na irequest ko sa kanya is ipeplay nya. Also, siya ang gumawa ng remix ng dessert na grand entrance namin. Super bilis kausap and super baet nilang magasawa.

Band: 7th string band (12k)
12/10. 7th string band is not known. They dont update facebook page, last update was 2013, never heard their name here but i took the risks. I just saw them facebook nun nagscout ako. At first, i was very hesitant kasi walang post eh. But i relied to the feeling na sige ipupush ko to. And yes hindi ako nagkamali. 😄  2 vocals, 1 pianist, 1 guitar and 1 violinist ang package namin. napakaacoustic ng voice and all the people in the church appraised their violin version of ikaw. Talagang kinilabutan sila kahit pa mali ang pasok ko and hindi tugmansa chorus. Hahaha. But still, justice was given.in the reception, one of the visitors requested a song na wala sa contract namin but they accommodated and kinanta nila without any hesitation. Plus ang baet! Ang baet, ang humble, ang simple to the max! For the rate of cheaper price including the ceremony and reception, pak na pak to. And i will always recommend them because they deserved to be known. They can compete and its just that, my way if endorsing them is my simplest and best way to thank them.

[daeyan]

Photovideo: sidedish project
11/10. Their rate is way cheaper sa rate ng iba considering na may aerial view kami, prenup slideshow, growing up photos and same day edit. The best thing i like them is yung pagcapture ng emotions ng mga tao. They dont focus sa preps and reception videos. They focused sa ceremony and how emotionally people became. Plus, super alaga sila sa akon especially mhellan. From the time na dumating ako sa church, winelcome agad ako ni mhellan, assisted me na parang bride assistant ko din siya. Hahaha. And nakakatawang kawork. They kept on making jokes nung medyo wala na ako sa mood gawa ng bride assistant ko from memento. Kaya napapatawa ako and nababalanse yung mood. Plus pagkaplay nila nung same day edit, pak. People in the reception got teary-eyed. Di ko nilagay rate nila because it is a kumpare rate for me. Haha. Better ask them na lang. But dontworry, their rates are afforable! Tip: 65k and below. 😊

Hair and makeup: jes marion dee.
8/10. He is my cousin. But of course, wala tayo kinikilingan dito sa network natin. I like my makeup, hindi nya binago face ko and within the call time. Even visitors told me and ganda ng makeup ko kasi khit 9pm pa, hindi pa din humuhulas considering hindi yung airbrush ha. He assisted me also all throughout na taga bitbit pa siya ng veil ko, keep on retouching me and ako pa nagsabi sa kanya na "sige na, akyat ka na dun. Magenjoy ka na." Because he didnt want na iwan ako. The reason why i rated him 8 only is because i dont like his assistants which i informed him to change. Hindi ko bet ang makeup ng mothers namin. Hindi ko din bet ang makeup ng ento ko. Hindi ko bet ang attitude din ng assistants nya. Kung si jes lang, i can give even 10/10 but his assistants has made him down. So i told him, change your assistants. Di ko din nilagay rate because it is a cousin rate! Haha.

Cake: the mad scientist sugar laboratory (5300)
10/10. Ang sarap ng cake! Para nga siyang brownies eh. Hehe. And kuhang kuha nya ang design na bet ko. 4 layers siya (2 layers are edible) for only 5k. Yes. Cheaper rate plus the tastiest choc cake, pasok sa banga.

Invitations: cumbidado events (55 per piece)
8/10. Mabait kausap yung may ari. Though ang dami kong chAnges, accept lang sila ng accept without a feeling na nagagalit sila. Hehe. Then, ang ganda ng paper and print. My guests said na ang sosyal tignan ng invi which is true. Plus ang bilis nila gumawa. The reasons why i rated them 8 are: because yung bet ko na design is hindi nila magawa so ang ending, nagpalit kami ng design kahit pa hindi tugma sa theme ko. Hehe. Pero yung design na pinalit ko seems so elegant. Second, malaki masyado yung envelope na ginamit and hindi siya royal blue na theme ko, navy blue yung nilagay nila pero carry lang. Maganda pa din naman. Other than that, recommendable pa din siya for me. 😊

Principal sponsors gift: kimochi pillows (418/pc)
9/10. I wanted something kasi na useful. So we got this. Free shipping nya sinend sa akin and you will smell talaga yung menthol. 😅 its 9 only kasi limited yung designs na napili ko kasi laging out of stock.

Bridal gown: mitch desunia apparel (15k)
7/10. The rate is for the beauty of the gown. Ang ganda talaga niya. Hindi siya mahaba pero ang lakas ng dating. Plus napakadetalyado. It is only RTW. Parang pang prinsesa sa mga game of thrones ganun. Hahaha. Plus point na ang baet ni charmaine avante. Siya yung assistant who took over after the first assistant left. The reason why 7? For those who  read before, i feel so disappointed sa unang assistant na binigay sa akin ni mitch, si claire dogillo. She promised me a lot, (prenup dress, second gown, 5ft veil, petticoat na may bakal) but left mitch company without endorsing ano pinagusapan namin. That made me really sad. Mitch just gave me second fitting. The Petticoat she gave was not the one i wanted. Hindi siya ball gown, walang bakal. Bumili na lang ako sa divi ng another petticoat kaya gumanda ang bagsak ng gown ko. Also, the payment for the gown was not well-mentioned to us. Hindi alam ni claire (unang assistant) ang terms of payment. Plus no contract was given to me by claire. Also, when we did the first fitting, hindi ganun kaaccommodating si mitch. It is rob ang charmaine who accommodated a lot. Pero si mitch, smile smile lang. Not warm at all considering i have a lot of heartaches sa company nya because of that claire dogillo. I was thinking that time, maybe kaya hindi masyado entertaining si mitch dahil RTW lang gown ko? I was almost into buying a new gown sa divi, but because hubby wanted mitch's gown, i sticked to it kahit hindi siya mahaba. But the gown is so perfect for me (hindi lang mahaba. Hehe). Ang ganda and unique siya. Plus malaking factor ang petticoat na binili ko sa divi. For the rate, medyo namamahalan ako. Because my budget for the gown is only 12k and below with the complete accessories (and no worries. Haha). Recommendable pa din naman si mitch especially now that CLAIRE is no longer with them. Siya kasi talaga nagpababa ng ratings ko ke mitch.

Coord: memento events management services. (25k)
7.5/10. Memento has been good to us. They made choreo for our first dance, they gave special attention to my tito and titas na super masusungit and they were able to manage them, foods has been served during cocktails plus their free cocktail foods so while waiting for us hindi nainip ang guests, they executed my special requests like my do it your own props, they gave suggestions na very well appreciated ko especially the florist, they made visits table to table during our absence (while doing pictorial and yes,table by table) and asking guests how are them na ba, executed ang mga tinurn over ko sa kanila, and they keep on reminding to avoid stress. Very well appreciated ko si jhulz and phiel because they really took care of my guests. Even the guests feel comfortable saying to me na kinakamusta sila asking Hows the food and anything else they want while we were away and the emcee, wow! Super galing! Our visitors asked me sino daw yung emcee kasi super galing! 👏👏👏Kudos to that.

The reason why i rated them 7.5 only is because of my bride assistant. Yes. That costs too much para medyo maoff ako sa kanila though the rest of the team executed very well. The problem is my bride assistant seemed new, tulala, no decision making, no updates about my concerns and asking me sometimes like "nasan po shoes nyo, nasa po ring nyo, complete na po ba ang bridesmaids, san po ang caleruega, san po tayo dadaan". Yes these are the words i heard from her. As much as i want to control being bridezilla, hindi ko din nagawa, though siguro 5/10 (10 as the worst) ang naging bridezilla attitude ko kasi i came to a point na sinabihan ko na yung assistant ko na makipagswap na sa iba. Hehe. Ni hindi sya agad umakyat during preps, i even asked my ate to look wheres my brides assistant. Kasi we are almost done sa photoshoot, wala pa din siya. Of course, as a bride, i shouldnt have to look for her. She should be there. One more, walang nagassist kay groom during the preps. It was endorsed to me na may grooms assistant pero walang nagassist sa kanya during the photoshoot kundi family nya and yung photovid team pa. sb ni jhulz, andun daw sa phiel. Sabi naman ni hubby, pasulpot sulpot lang. Not totally andun. (Though, i dont want to be biased. Maybe andun, hindi lang nya nakita? Hmm) And yung minutes, Nagtimecheck nlng sila nun mga past 630 am na yata. Plus medyo nagkatarayan sila ng photovid ko infront of me na sana dapat, wag sa harap ko. And we dont have complete photoop with the whole abay. Innounce kasi was bridesmaids and groomsmen lang to stay, how about the veil, cord and candles? So they asked pa. Some left pa. And it was announced during the picture taking, siyempre by that time, busy na mga tao. Konti lang nakarinig na magstay sila. Sana, sinabi agad yun nung lineup pa lang before sila magwalk. I expected a lot from them, kaya medyo disappointed ako kasi hindi nameet ang expectations ko.

They are still good. Still a best supplier and recommendable. But among my suppliers that day, sa memento lang ako hindi masyado nasatisfy. Its not worth the money that we paid. Siguro, if i paid them 18 or 20k, that will be worth it. But their otd is 25k. Good thing, they did very well sa reception. Medyo hindi lang maganda on the preps but they compensated a lot sa reception. VERY WELL. Kudos to phiel and jhulz for that.

There were so many mishaps on the day itself. But the event must continue. Minsan lang tayo ikasal, we have to feel it. Remove the negative vibes and pray. There is no perfect wedding but there is always a beautiful wedding. Happy preps to you guys!
