Casa de Corazon and L&J Catering

[raiizea]

^^the major reason why we chose destination wedding is to avoid the super polluted and traffic manila. The reason naman we chose cdc because they offer the longest time of renting their venue plus it has a breath taking view.

^ I was also at CDC this afternoon! Hehe. Sayang di tayo nagkita sis, @xxcheiyexx

Tama siya, wala na yung I love sign pero binalik nila kuya willie yung Casa de Corazon, I didn't bother asking Kuya Willie about it na kasi mas concerned talaga ko sa greenwall. Hehe. Pero sabi sa WaW tatangalin padin daw yung CDC sign na yon ililipat ata siya sa may hotel area pag natapos na.  Nakakatuwa talaga yung full drapings mas maganda siya in person sissies kesa sa photos. 

Same with sis raiizea, chose to have a destination wedding to avoid the traffic in Manila and iba talaga ang feels ng destination wedding. Mas mahal siya ng slight sa Metro weddings cause of the OTF ng mga suppliers but I think its super worth it.

And let me just share something na sinabi ni Ate Liezl (Kuya Willie's wife) kanina.. since nag inquire ako about sa drapings na yan. What's funny is alam nila na yung mga WaW brides is naguusap usap sa hatian ng fee about sa full drapings. Hehe. Sabi naman niya, Don't worry daw baka daw sa time ng wedding natin (2018 kasi yung akin) wala ng additional charge ang full drapes sa CDC. Nagiisip daw sila ng way na pagandahin lalo yung CDC na no additional cost para sa couple nila, ngayon lang daw yan kasi since bago and maintenance siguro and sabi it took them 16 hours kasi para ikabit yung drapes... That's what I really love about them. Hindi sila pabayad ng pabayad di tulad ng ibang supplier/venue na konting additional lang may fee agad. 

I'm officially an L&J bride as well!!! LOL. Sila na finally ang binook namin ni H2B (finally na convince na ko ni H2B)  for catering without having FT. Ganon nako ka confident na they won't let us down sa dami ng good reviews ng L&J both here and sa WaW. And kanina sabi pa ni Kuya willie don't worry Ma'am pagtutulungan natin gawin ang dream wedding mo. Hearing that from the OWNER of one of my major supplier is something! It made me soooo happy! Seriously. Hehe. Pinakita pa sakin ni kuya willie yung mga bagong items/designs niya. Investing for good siya talaga! I'm so sure na hindi ako nagka mali sa pag pili sakanila over all the other "sikat" caterers out there.

Hi sis! I was there too kanina! Haha! But the funny thing is, nalate kami ni h2b ng dating. By 4pm sarado na yung office but we're able to roam around CDC naman. Nandun pa nga din talaga yung set up from yesterday's event. Also we met Kuya Edgar which we have booked na as our florist. He's super nice and he and Kuya Willie has good working relationship. If you need a florist, you might want to consider him.😊

And yes, wala na yung sign na I love. Heheh!

[ChixC18]

^Ang dami nating pumunta sa CDC yesterday sis! Hehe! Yes, maaga nag sara office nila kuya willie kasi sabi niya Sunday lang daw pahinga nila and galing pa sila sa event na 1:30 AM na natapos sa CDC kaya puyat silang lahat silang 2 lang ni Ms Liezl ang tao sa office nila kanina tapos ang daming clients pa na pumunta. hehe. Tuloy tuloy daw event nila till the 24th! Dun sila mag celebrate ng Christmas eve! Nakakaloka! Hehe.

About the florist, sayang nga sis prior to booking CDC and L&J may na book na kong florist sa mga wedding expo I don't want to let go of the DP nadin kasi sayang naman. Kaya I never got a chance to book Sir Edgar na but I heard good feedbacks about him so great choice of florist you got! 

[xxcheiyexx]

Actually yun din naisip ko. If I have my wedding in manila on a weekday tapos ber month pa, goodluck sa traffic. Haha. Di nga lang kami nakapag inquire ni h2b kina kuya willie kasi we're worried sa traffic pamanila we juat checked out the place talaga. What are the churches near casa? I'm eyeing ollp hindi ba masyadong malayo?

[ChixC18]

^ Hello there sis! OLLP bride here. Hindi malayo sis. It's a 15-20 mins drive, meron din kasing shortcut sa likod naman na mas mabilis around 10-15 mins siguro via Mahogany Dr, mas malayo ata ang Calaruega church dito. Not sure though. 

[IVY2018]

^our fault din naman. We're supposed to be there early eh kaya lang sobra sarap ng weather dun ngayon, late na kami natulog. Hehe! Sayang, we could have met sana.😊

[ChixC18]

And nga pala sissies ishare ko din natanong ko din kay Kuya willie about the Cocktails, its an additional 3k daw yon. or 30/head pero may times daw na binibigay niya yon as a freebie depende siguro sa package na kukunin. Pero it consist of Clubhouse sandwich and Nachos, pinakita niya picture sakin okay lang naman. I asked kuya willie din kung aside don pwede bang mag add ng appetizers like sushi, sabi niya Oo daw he has supplier daw na pwedeng pagkuhanan which is good atleast sila kuya willie nadin magseserve. Hehe. Nag suggest pa sya mga palabok daw ganon meron din daw siyang supplier. Hehe. So solve na ko sa problem ko sa cocktail hour sis. Ang oh sabi din nila Ate Liezl if ever wala sa menu nila yung food na gusto mo pwede daw nilang gawan ng paraan ipaluto sa chef nila yon. Yaay! Hope this helps kasi I know naging concern din natin to dito aside from CDC's design. LOL.

[IVY2018]

^I was with my little sister and I'm glad nagustuhan niya yung place! Hehe.  Thanks sis! Yes, sis nakita ko ang saya naeexcite nako makita yung outcome nung mini hotel. and yes sana nga mura lang.  nako sana L&J ka nadin sis haha, kasi ako ganyang ganyan din nung una sobrang daming pinagpilian sa L&J din ako nauwi hehe!

[raiizea]

^^wow all in na talaga sila sir willie! Pati cocktails supplier meron!  Hassle free talaga pagsila kinuha. Hehe.. wala pa kaming florist pero si sir edgar din ang kinoconsider namin

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

ChixC18 WOW thanks for the thorough update.  Congrats in booking L&J. Ako naman noon pa, pagkabasa ko palang ng feedbacks, enough research and pagkausap kay Sir Willie, binook ko na sila 4 sabay sabay haha! CDC, L&J, Ms. Kris and Sir Edgar Erni.

As an overseas couple, mas convenient samin to work with a team na, lalo pa kagaya ni Sir Willie and Ms. Kris ang mag lead na super magpahalaga sa Clients. 

Bukod sa affordable, may personal touch, matiyaga, saka di sila pabayad ng pabayad or pa add ng pa add, di nila ipush magbayad ka over something (mobile bar, fireworks, bridal cars) na di naman pasok sa budget mo.  They will offer mga affiliated nila na Suppliers na trusted and subok na na most probably cheapest.

So happy with them. Halos lahat ng irefer nila kinukuha ko talaga, ayoko na irisk sumakit pa ulo ko pag may mga last minute hassle, due to miscommunication or lack of expertise ng ibang Supplier.

I truly wish the best for Sir Willie and the rest of the team.  + 100 points sa pagka responsive nila haha! Never pa ata ako nag chat na di ako nasagot. 

[raiizea]

^^true sis rory! Palabiro pa haha! Nakita mo na ba yung recent post ng sde? Pagmagaling talaga yung p/v, kahit hindi p tapos yung venue, hindi nila isasama sa sde yung part na ginagawa pa. Looking forward talaga ako sa finish construction ng buong cdc! Para mapin point ko yung mga lugar na gusto ko isama sa sde namin

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

raiizea haha true, kakailang din ibang Supplier na masyado seryoso, kakahiya mag request or magtanong.

I-check ko now yung SDE, true ako din maski sa drone shots dapat sakto lang sa perimeter, para di makuhaan yung unpleasant views.

[ChixC18]

^^wow all in na talaga sila sir willie! Pati cocktails supplier meron!  Hassle free talaga pagsila kinuha. Hehe.. wala pa kaming florist pero si sir edgar din ang kinoconsider namin

Oo nga sis, parang one stop shop si kuya willie since ang laki ng connections niya which is good for us clients nadin.  Ako sis kung wala pa siguro kong nabobook na florist I'll go with Edgar Erni seeing all his works its really beautiful kaya lang nakapag down na kasi kami and ang laki din non para ilet go sabi nga no kuya willie okay lang daw kahit hindi ibook si Edgar kesa mag let go ng 10K DP. Ouch din nun. Hehe.

[ChixC18]

Haven't seen the SDE yet, sinong P/V team yon sissies??

[ChixC18]

^ Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore -  You're welcome sis!  And yes, We all have the same sentiments sis! We are happy B2B's! One big factor is because of Kuya Willie and his team, he deserves all the blessings kasi sobrang bait nilang lahat! Ako kasi bago pa sila na book dami ko nadin nabook na ibang suppliers like OTD, Florist kaya hindi ko nadin ma book yung mga nirerefer ni Kuya willie but I'm glad that he's really flexible in working with other suppliers din. I don't think naman na magkakaproblem ako sakanila knowing kuya willie hehe.  pero for sure yung mga wala pa kong supplier like mobile bar sakanila na kukunin ko and same as the fireworks and yung mga nirefer niya na P/V team may discount pa! Hehe.

[raiizea]

^^current sde posted is blissful house digital. Magaling nga din sila, pero mas mura pa din yung kinuha namin, hehe.. i also check their works as well as yung recommended ni sir willie na marc parra, magaling sila both, but we decided to get the cheaper one na type namin yung medyo dramatic shot plus nainclude ang works sa bride and breakfast for 3 times. we believe that in 2 years time mas magaling na sila lalo.
