Our Wedding Suppliers
Here are our wedding partners. Along the way, we've developed friendship between them.
I hope these information will be helpful to future couples who are also planning their dream wedding.
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel
Doms previous work location was located near Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Shrine. He frequents this church especially during the times that he was planning to go here in Singapore.
I remember one time, when Doms and I rode the LRT, we saw Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Then, I just said, "gusto ko dyan ikasal" and he jusr replied, "Ako rin".
Deep in us we always have Mt. Carmel as our first priority for church celebration. Now, since we reserved it already, our dream of getting married there turned to reality.
Oasis Pavilion
Year 2008, I attended a wedding reception here with my office mate. I always hear Oasis and the good raves about it. After a few months, we were invited again to a wedding and the reception is in Oasis.
I fell in love with Oasis the first time I saw it. It was my ideal wedding reception. After the said wedding, Doms fetched me and he saw the place too said he loved the place as well.
We are so lucky to have both our dream church and dream wedding reception area.
Hizon's Catering Services
We have many choices of caterers for our wedding but we chose Hizon's. They have a lot of freebies and upgrades when they emailed me and I love the way they decorate weddings. Also, I found in their site the color combination that I wanted for our reception.
I hope their reception specialist will call or email me already so that I can talk to them about my wedding theme and motif.
Weddings at Work
When it comes to wedding planning and preparing, Weddings at Work is a must for the Filipina Bride (or Groom)
Their sire offers a large array of suppliers while the group is a one stop shop for wedding ideas, stories and more.
Ever since Doms and I started planning for our wedding, I already joined W@W. This group is amazing!
Vignette Wedding Photography and Video
Among all the photo and video suppliers that I presented to Doms, Vignette was his top choice. He wanted the style of the father and son tandem of Danny and Bogs Ignacio. He wanted the way they capture the moments.
We booked them during the weddings & Beyond Bridal Fair last January 23, 2010
Val Villarin
Val Villarin was well recommended in Weddings at Work. Among all the make-up artists that I emailed, he was one of the first few who replied immediately.
He explained his packages when I had questions and he was easy to talk to. I am so happy that we were able to get him for our wedding.
Touch of Magic Events
Manila, Philippines
Among all the other coordinators that I booked, TME was one of those suppliers that replies quickly and answers my makukulit questions.
Dionne is very professional and I really wish everything goes well with them.
Graphizar Caricatures Atbp.
Doms didn't know that I commissioned Graphizar Caricatures to do our caricature. Initially, I don't want to have a caricature but when I visited Graphizar's Website, I fell in love with their creations and immediately emailed them.
They replied quickly and the next day of my inquiry, I was able to give the payment already.
I hope our caricatures turn out well. Let's wait 3 weeks before it's done!
Hocus Focus Photobooth by Printed Matter
This was a freebie from the Oasis Pavilion package that we got by opting for the aircon pavilion.
Sound of Music Strings
727 Sinalhan, Santa Rosa City Laguna
We got the Acoustic Band Package of Sound of Music Strings to serenade us and our guests during our wedding reception.
Concha Espana Couture
Concha is our first and only gown supplier that we inquired on. She has a good portfolio and she is very near to our place in Fairview. She is very kind hearted and she knows what she is doing. I recommend her to all couples looking for an affordable yet elegant gowns.
Astoria Plaza
We were choosing between Discovery Suites or Astoria Plaza as a our wedding preps venue. I like both hotels but I have hang-ups on Discovery because I got allergic to old dust when we stayed there during my dad's birthday last April 2010. So, we decided just to get Astoria.
We've been to Astoria and we've stayed there several times. We like the buffet breakfast and I specifically like the rooms, with it's airy ambiance and clean sheets.
Written in Ink Invitations
Unit 1, Southway Condominium, Mayapis cor. Bakawan Sts., Makati City
We got WINK for our invitations during the Wedding Congress Asia when we were in Manila.
They have a great package and we love their designs. Ms. Jo was easy to talk to as well.
Fly to Manila
We were lucky enough to have hired our transportation once with Fly to Manila. Ronnie is very easy to talk to and he answers my email queries.
For my bridal car, I got a black Fortuner. For my family, I got the Ford Everest and for Doms' fanily, I got the red urvan.
Swell Sweets
12 Dumagat St., Mira Nila Homes., Tandang Sora QC
I was able to find Swell Sweets online. Swell Sweets is owned and managed by Gel Colet. Her specialty is baking and her creations are wonderful! I saw her cookie designs and I instanly fell in love with it! She gave us a quote and it was right for our budget so we got her to make our cookie give-aways.
I initially wanted to use our cookie give-away as our place card holders, where the table number of each guest is printed, but we haven't finalized it yet. Doms will be making the Thank You card taht will go along with our cookie give-away. I'm sure it will look great!
