^^ mga sis! Galing na ko cdc! Ang ganda niya pala talaga sa actual. Kahit busy pa sila sir willie, nakausap pa rin  namin siya. Ayon, grabe dami pa nila plans dun na gaganda pa talaga yung cdc. I'm sooooooo excited! Sakto lang siguro ang 2018 sa improvement talaga ng cdc. Ang taray may well siya, nakaglass na yung hall mismo, mas maganda tingnan. Excited ako sa hotel kasi sinabi niya 7 rooms daw yun, yung isa dormitory type, ang maganda syempre yung bridal suite, igaglass daw nila yung window overlooking taal. Tapos talagang exclusive lang talaga sa inyo kasi tinanong ko sya kung pede agad magpabook nung hotel para sure na nakabook na kami. Sabi niya priority nila kami sa pagrent nun. Hindi raw sila magpaparent sa iba kapag may event dun. Ang saya! About the styling ang ganda pala talaga sa actual, tapos sabi niya nagdadagdag naman sila every year ng style kaya no need to worry matagal pa naman, tsaka sinusunod naman nila yung gusto ng couple, hindi man hawig sa peg, ilalapit nila. Tanong nga ni kapatid kung may separate stylist sila kasi maganda yung ayos, sabi ni sir willie sila sila lang daw, ok nga daw kasi nakikita lang daw nung mga tauhan nila sa net tapos iaadapt nila.  Sa drapes naman, may additional daw sa pricing ng full drapes. Saka na lang din daw pagusapan. Ang bait at ang cool niya lang kausap kasi ant kulit niya sa mga clients niya hehe.. wala talaga akong pinagsisisihan na kinuha namin sila. Hindi pa namin nabook si ms.kris sabi ni sir willie pede din daw yun sa 2018 na, kasi gagawin din daw nilang 2 teams ang coordinator nila, pati catering kasi yung isang team in house cdc tapos yung isa pwede sa ibang venue. Hindi dapat kami magft kahapon kasi nga dun din kinasal sa cdc yung couple, pero dahil siguro malayo pinanggalingan namin at para magkaidea daw kami sa lasa, nagbigay lang sya ng konti samin. And sinabi niya na bumalik na lang daw kami ulit kapag church yung wedding ng couple para makapagft kami ulit dahil mas kumpleto nila iseserve yung food para mafeel daw namin na kami yung bisita din. Actually, dun sa konting ft na yun, talagang feel na sineserve-an kami ng maayos, nakaantabay pa nga pagwala ng ice tea, refill agad, ang ok talaga ng service nila. Superb talaga yung choice namin, sabi nga ni soon sister-in-law ang galing daw namin pumili, maganda na yung venue, masarap pa yung food! Sila isip din sila kung san sila ikakasal kasi next agad sila samin hehe.. I'm so happy talaga sa choice namin! At sa lahat din ng pumili sa cdc and l&j catering, ang swerte natin sa choice of supplier natin. By the way, nakita namin ni h2b ang board nila, hindi nakakapagtaka, kami ang nasa huli ng list haha! Super excited lang talaga namin hehe! Napahaba na naman kwento ko :) hope my reviews help. Madami pang aayusin sa cdc kaya sure na mas gaganda pa sya!

@raiizea - I saw it sis! At may pa wishing well na ang CDC! Cute lang e. Hehe! Yung sa cocktail naman, I have the same peg nag request din ako kay Kuya willie to use it pang cocktail area kasi may pa fireworks ako before or after ng dinner, so mas maganda pag may matatambayan yung guest sa garden area.  ;D Regarding naman sa P/V sis malaki alloted pero sana hindi na umabot don hanggat maari kung makakita ng magaling na less than 100K don nalang kami. Hehe.  :)

@Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore - I totally agree with you sis. Hirap lumagpas sa budget, ang daming expenses pa on the side na dapat din iconsider e. Regarding sa prenup naman isa pa yan gastos sa food, sa venue (buti nalang yung isa venue namin sa streets lang ng Alabang permit lang wala ng fee. Hehe, saka sa Lasalle lang which is minimal fee lang naman ang payment for alumni's ang venue namin for prenup. Bahala na si P/V pano nila gagawing creative yung location. Hehe.

Hi Mga sis,

Nakapag food tasting na kami ni H2B ng biglaan kay Sir Willie last Dec. 8 hehe. Na amaze kami when we saw how different the venue is na from when we first went there (buhangin and all). Super happy and excited kami.

Regarding the venue, i have one tiny bit concern:
Naglagay pala sila ng I Love Casa De Corazon na sign sa mismong venue sa labas so the recent SDE that i watched has it nung nag aerial shots. Patay. Di talaga namin feel ni H2B nung makita namin pero nahihiya kami sabihin kay sir willie. What do you think mga sis ako lang ba yung medyo hindi gusto yung huge white sign sa ceremny area? Dun kasi kami magceceremony so bothered talaga kami.


Food tasting: okay so natikman namin yung food na kakainin ng guests in that day's wedding. I have to be honest about my review so umpisahan ko per viand na natikman namin.

Fish Fillet - winner to. Masarap kahit commonly served fish dish siya. My only concern is medyo malamig sya when it was served to us (actually lahat sila medyo malamig na kahit tanghali pa lang at wala pa yung mga bisita).

Pork hamonado - this is the highest rated dish for us. Malambot yung pork, masarap ang sauce. All good. Five stars. If i will get L&J, matic na itong pork hamonado sa menu namin.

Pork Spareribs Royale - naging super honest kami ni H2B kay kuya willie while eating it: "ang tigas po Sir Willie". Super tigas mga sis tapos di ko maintindihan yung lasa. Sabi ni sir willie noted daw. Iiimprove daw nila. Basta eto yung worst na natikman namin na viand sa food tasting.

Creamy chicken pesto - eto 5 stars ulit! Sarap! Katandem to ng pork hamonado. Masarap at nakakabitin. Hindi sya usual na pesto ha. Akala ko nga carbonara eh kasi may cream. Pero masarap.

Chopsuey - I honestly dont think anybody should have chopsuey in their menu. Opinion ko lang naman yun. And aside from that kulang din sa lasa yung chopsuey.

Beef with brocolli - medyo malitid yung part na napunta sa akin, pero okay naman siya. Okay lang. 3/5 stars.

I'm not sure kung may nakalimutan ako ilagay na food pero if I can rate the FT overall I will give it 3.5/5 stars. May mga hit and may mga miss na food. Gusto ko pa matikman yung iba nilang menu para baka makapagdecide kami based on that. Hats off to Sir Willie's service nung nandun kami during the FT. I really love him, but the food still needs to be stepped up in terms of taste. Hindi na ako mag eexpect ng bonggang presentation, basta masarap sana. :) Anyway, we are still going to Passion Cooks and Queensland's FT para makapag compare. Pero we still have L&J in our choices.

Sana makatulong tong review ko mga sis. Ang laki talaga ng improvement ng CDC and I cant wait for the hotel!

^atnep - Hi sis! Thank you so much for your honest review about sa food ng L&J di padin kasi kami natutuloy ni h2b sa mga FT na dapat gagawin namin don. Hehe. Sana one of these days makapag FT nadin kami. Regarding don sa I heart CDC naman, honestly hindi ko din siya masydo nagustuhan nung nakita ko sa picture. Sana ang ginawa nalang ni kuya willie is the same as nung LOVE sign niya without the lights na CDC... kasi mejo off nga yun na nasa grass part.  :-\ pero baka naman natatanggal yon upon request? Hehe.

^ waah! Ako din! Medyo turned off ako dun sa i love sign. Sorry for saying this, pero "cheap" ang dating. Hindi bumagay sa ganda ng venue.😢
Sis @atnep pano kayo nakapagpasched ng FT sa L&J?

Thank you Sisters sa reviews nyo, serbisyong totoo! Haha, lalo na for overseas brides like me. Feeling ko I have eyes, ears and taste buds na din dyan sa Pinas. Very well noted lahat yan and appreciated :D Lalolng lalo na yung food, sa April pa FT ko, and final meeting with all of them, so more or less alam ko na hahanapin kong foods.  :D

Kausap ko na din Suppliers ko, kumbaga lahat kami ready - set na inaantay nalang GO, January pa talaga nila kami gusto magstart haha! And may final meeting pa, pero for now, mga add ons na pinaguusapan namin ni Sir Willie.

Mobile bar = they can give us ng 10k, for 4 hrs, good for 75-100 persons, mura na compared sa iba.

String lights = they can give us ng 6k pero mukang mabibigyan pako ng discount. Garden, rustic, summer/spring theme so imperative ang string lights.

Fireworks = 6k 64 shots with permit as per Ms. Kris (way wayyyyyy cheaper than the rest na napagtanungan ko, medyo oa nga, usually almost half, nasa 12-15k yung mga una ko napagtanungan)

Drapes = 10k daw  :D (I plan to use the indoor pavillion as my dance hall baka don ko din ipalagay yung mobile bar)

Photobooth - baka naghahanap kayo for souvenir na din K's photobooth is Tagaytay/Cavite based 3,500k lang madali din kausap and mukang kilala din naman sila Sir Willie


Abang nalang ako sa mini hotel, yun nalang and medyo pinagpepray ko. Mas convenient kasi, pero if not, I'm ready na din sa iba magbook, basta nearby lang.  :D

Ang ganda ng venue, ng view, ng styling ng flowers nila based on the video that I've watched. I can't wait to see my p/v's take pinakita ko sa Video team ko, napa wow sya, sakto daw for golden hour, yung pa sunset na yung view ng taal and gazebo. Excited na din sila sa drone shots.  :D

For 2017 brides like me, let's make sure nalang to remind our p/v team to avoid yung mga unpleasant or unfinished construction areas na makuhaan, but I noticed naman sa napili kong teams, they know better. So baka di ko na sabihan, hehe.  ;)

^thanks sis. Very informative! mura nga ng fireworks! :) As for the drapes, sana dagdagan na lang nila...para di na natin magbayad pa for additional fees. hehe

For those na concerned sa I love sign, I read na there are others who's not a big fan as well. I saw this post from Kuya Willie saying that he took it down and put it somewhere else na.  I will update you guys because we will drop by to CDC this Sunday. :)

^^ Same price yung sinabi sakin for the fireworks! Yey!  ;D

^ Regarding the i love sign.. the reason I believe kaya natanggal yon is because a wawie member sent kuya willie a personal message na hindi nga niya like yung i love sign na yon tapos parang nagpa survey don sa mga CDC bride kung with/without madaming sumagot ng without plus other feedbacks for CDC pa like the full drapings nalang sana issue, more lights and florals, paint sa wall, more trees. Ganon. Very accommodating si kuya willie and marunong tumaggap ng constructive criticism. :)

More improvements to come!  :D Yes, transparent naman sila sa rates nila pare pareho bigay satin, sana nga iregalo an nila satin yung drapes.  :D

^ I agree with everyone na sana wala ng extra cost yung Full drapes. Sana makarating din kay kuya willie yon. I really hope so. Hehe.  ;D Sayang nga naman kasi yung additional 10K kung sa drapes lang mapupunta yung cost kung pwede mo pa siya idagdag sa mas importante na bagay. :(

Have you ladies seen the post in WaW yung picture ng CDC with full drapings??? May event kasi last night which I believe yung wedding anniversary daw ni Kuya Willie and Ate Liezl. Sobrang ganda mga sis! Even the event set up itself! Na teary eyed ako when I saw it, hindi sa pagiging OA but its so beautiful!!! The best ever set up na nakita ko sa CDC. It's almost exactly how I imagined my wedding to be. Sa motif lang ng color nagka iba. Huhu. Ang ganda sissies!

May additional fee daw na 9K yon pero pwede pag hatian ng mga couples na ikakasal within the week yung fee kasi 1 week nila bago tanggalin yung drapings not unless may couple na hindi mag fufull drapings. So, if you are willing to have full drapings hanap na kayo ng ka schedule niyo ng week sis. Hehe. Ako week ng March 18, 2018 VERY much willing makipag share sa fee ng drapings. PM niyo lang ako sissies!

Hi mga sis i went there this afternoon with h2b. They had a wedding ata last night and andun pa yung full drapings. Wala na yung i love but the casa de corazon sign is still there. I convinced h2b to consider the venue, nagandahan din sya. Haha but i still need some convincing myself. Naiisip ko kasi the hassle of preparing a destination wedding hahaha
