2018 Brides

[Katyie1223]

Question: since ang wedding namen is out of town, should we pay for the accomodation ng entourage namen and relatives (mostly h2b's relatives)?

Also, I just booked The Veranda at Bella Rosa Farm anyone who also booked them?
gusto ko sana kumuha ng caterer outside since 100 lang guest ko and yun package nila is good for 150 pax, If I get another caterer, we could save as much as 80k.

Try town's delight or KbyC sis 😃

Atnep, Your list are so helpful, especially for me na planning from overseas.

Thank you for this one!

I am a 2018 Bride as well, but we are already civilly married. We are both here in Canada, so the planning is pretty much harder. Does anyone of you know if the church requirements are still gonna be the same like unmarried couples?

We are targeting to get a January or Feb 2018 wedding date to be help on San Antonio De padua and Angelfield's as a reception. Based sa nabasa ko K by Cunanan is really good so we might pick them as our caterer.  So far wala pa ako nabobook haha but I'm embracing this preparation and planning.

Hopefully i can pull everything off!! Goodluck to us and congratulations everyone!

Hi Girls! March 2018 Bride here.

Already booked OTD, Church and Reception.

Ngayon naghahanap ako ng P/V, gusto ko sana ng Oak St. Studios for photos and Forevermine sa videos, any comments about them? or any suggestions, Gusto kasi namin ni H2B medyo artsy yung mga shots, meron ba kayo marerecommend?  

Thank you so much in advance!!

Mabilis lang lilipas ang taon na to, Good luck and Congrats sa ating lahat

^Google sheets wedding planner template also helped me in listing down the suppliers.

Thank you katniss. your tip is very helpful.

BTW

I've been reading a lot dito sa GT and sobrang nakakatuwa yung mga preps nyo.  I was researching and checking venues since last year. I really wanted tagaytay but then future mom in law suggested na within manila area na lang para di mahirapan sa transpo and for practicality reason naisip ko rin para walang OOTF. btw, Im a march 2018 bride. I read here na magkakaron ka ng "thizizit" moment pagnakita mo na yung right venue for your wedding. I went to 6 venues already and naisip ko baka sa ibang brides lang yung ganung moment but then i felt it last weekend when I saw our venue. I felt the thizizit moment so we're going to book Manila Polo Club. will go there this saturday to personally give the booking fee and para makita ko ulit yung venue. will be booking Santuario de San Antonio for the church naman para malpit lang. So yeah... happy prep to us ladies! :*

Hi sis Luna_Lulu I am a forevermine client They're easily my favorite supplier!!! I got them for my pre-wedding video, at yun ang malaking pagkakamali ko na hindi ko sila binook for my wedding. I got  Mayad Studios  for our wedding videog pero grabe mas gusto ko output ng Forevermine ng malayo over Mayad. I hope mabago pagtingin ko sa Mayad pag nakuha ko na ang revision ng SDE namin. You can check below link for my pre-wedding video (vimeo link) done by Forevermine

[Luna_Lulu]

^Sis Maedonna, grabe ikaw pala to actually isa to sa mga videos na napanuod namin ni H2B kaya kinonsider namin talaga ang Forevermine, ang artsy kasi talaga saka parang movie. super ganda! saan yung location mo sis if you dont mind? You are so stunning <3

[kdramaholic]

^ maedonnas awwww sis.. what happened to Mayad? Ka-sad naman..

Best of luck sa lahat ng 2018 Brides! Make sure to backread the old threads para sa mabusising pag pili. Do not book based on FB posts. Make sure to meet them in person para makilatis niyo paano sila. Or kung madami naman good reviews ok na yun, tiwala naman ako sa mga dating brides. Spend wisely, ladies!!! God bless you all.

Thank you sis, sa Baguio yung location namin, sa may camp john hay, mines view and diplomat hotel.

sis grabe yung ibang gawa ni forevermine, lahat ng brides nagiging maganda! saka sulet bayad sakanila napakadaming ganap!

^ maedonnas awwww sis.. what happened to Mayad? Ka-sad naman..

Grabe sis, parang diko naramdaman ang mayad nung wedding, para bang tinamad sila sa wedding namin! yun talaga naramdaman ko parang kulang sa effort! pag kinukumpara ko talaga sa forevermine grabe yung effort na nakita ko andaming eksena! pero sa mayad, my gahd, para bang saglit lang lahat ang dami naming oras, andami kong pictures pero sa videog parang walang effort nakakalungkot talaga! tapos yung editor na naassign samin, grabe wala ding effort kumpara sa mga nageedit sa ibang director ng mayad. parang mapapaisip ako, kung tinamad ba talaga sila that day!   So disappointed and frustrating!!! di talaga sulit binayad ko, sana ni-let go ko nalang yung downpayment tas nag go na lang kami kay forevermine

[Carlyndj]

Hi sis maedonnas. Sino yung kinuha niyo na director sa mayad? Si h2b pa naman booked mayad all the way

[kdramaholic]

^^ nakakagalit nga sis!! Knowing na super mahal nila at well-known! Nag file ka ba ng complaint? Minsan talaga unfair pag may name na, magaling sila sa iba pero pag sa iba di same yung service. Nakakalungkot..  Dapat kasi same quality sa bawat client at LAHAT ng client kahit anong package pa yung kinuha VIP treatment. I know how you feel and you don't deserve that. Shempre who would have known naman na mangyayari yun, diba? Kaya di mo naman fault na di ka nag stick kay Forevermine. Gawan mo yan ng mabusising review para di na maulit! hugsss sis!!!

sis eto inaantay ko yung revision nila ng SDE namin sabi nila today nila ibibigay tas wala pa din! sinabi ko na disappointed talaga ako, at sana sundin nila mga revisions namin sa tagal ng pagaantay namin. Sabi nakasick leave daw yung editor, sige pagbigyan namin, antayin ko till monday. Pero kung dipako magmessage diko pa malalaman.  Ang mahal mahal nila pero yung service nila doesn't match sa price nila Magbibigay ako ng full review pag dipa rin namin nagustuhan revisions nila.

Congratulations and happy preps to all fellow 2018 brides! Just signed up here at GT. Grabe ang helpful ng topics dito!

Our wedding is on November 2018 pa but we've decided to book major suppliers na para less stress next year since busy din kami with work. 😊

Church: San Antonio de Padua
Venue: Sanctuary Garden at Angelfields
Video: Treehouse Story
Photo: Chestknots
Caterer: K by C
Host: RJ Ledesma
OTD Coordinator: pending negotiation with Ruby Ines :p

I think my major challenge would be the interview and requirements with the church since I'm an evangelical Christian (CCF) and hubby to be is Catholic. But we both have a personal relationship with the Lord naman (and both growing pa) so I'm at peace na din getting married in his church, even though I'm not converting. Na sad lang ako kasi when we filed sa SADP, I felt "judged" agad dun sa nagreceive saamin bakit daw di ako papaconvert, di daw maganda yun. I just told him na napagusapan na namin as a couple and that we respect each other's spiritual growth naman. And sa totoo lang, it's really the Lord who knows our hearts. I'm thinking we should get na lang a priest friend who knows us personally to officiate the ceremony.

Questions mga sis, if you'll bring your own priest, sila din ba magcconduct nung canonical interview or yung parish priest sa church mismo? Thank you in advance!

[kdramaholic]

^^ Sis maedonnas hugsss!! Sige wait niyo muna baka maganda naman yung revised.. Give them a chance pero pag nag fail need mo na nga talaga sila kausapin ng masinsinanat gawan ng review kasi lalu na if yung services ay hindi man lang kapantay ng binayaran niyo.. Don't worry sis everything will be fine. Let's hope for the best!

Hi @eveningstar. Ask your church, in our case, even if we're bringing our own priest, the canonical interview will still be conducted by the parish priest of the church we booked.  Oo nga, tama ka, it's best to ask your priest's advice on what to expect during the interview na rin para prepared kayo to ward off judgment and incriminating questions.

[maedonnas]

Hi sis maedonnas. Sino yung kinuha niyo na director sa mayad? Si h2b pa naman booked mayad all the way

Hi sis, si Carmela kinuha namin. Sino sa inyo sis?

Thank you sis kdramaholic, yes wait ko muna revised sde

[gillianlaroza]

Hi Luna_lulu! Where are you planning to have your preps?

[Luna_Lulu]

Hi Sis Gillian, planning to have my wedding prep sa Richmond Eastwood, yun kasi ang nearest sa CTK, pero pinagiisipan pa namin baka sa SHangri la hotel sa ortigas depende pa kung magkano rates nila sa 2018, so far kasi di ko pa macheck online ang room price nila for 2018.. Ikaw ba? saan mo plano mag prepare?

Ask ko sana if may idea ka ba dun sa ceremony set up sa CTK? di ko kasi alam if maghire pa ko ng florist sa Church..

Thank you!
