Israel and Gen

Wedding Partners

Here are our chosen suppliers for the big day. We've put in a lot of time and effort in order to choose them because we think that they will make our day special. We found them through wedding expos, the internet, recommendations from friends as well as fellow w@wies.

Manila Cathedral

Manila Cathedral

Manila

5273093/5271796

Contact Person: Rosalie Coronel, Secretary to the Rector

Another example of fate.. we weren't planning on being wed at the Manila Cathedral.. it seemed so grand and we were sure that it would already be fully booked for December. Nevertheless, Espie and my brother wanted to check it out. We were really surprised that there was a free weekend available. So.. here we are.. :)

San Agustin Inner Courtyard

San Agustin Inner Courtyard

San Agustin Church and Museum,

Intramuros, Manila

527-4060/572-4061

We found this venue by chance as we were looking for our church. After checking the available schedules in San Agustin, Beth (Makati Skyline) approached Espie and gave him a flier for the San Agustin Inner Court. We liked the garden instantly and it was free for our wedding date. Guess it must be fate.

Makati Skyline

Makati Skyline

Sta. Potenciana cor. Gen. Luna St.,

Intramuros, Manila

5277551/3382256

Contact Person: Beth

Makati Skyline is the accredited caterer for our church. We've heard great things about their food but they are quite expensive. When it comes to sprucing up the reception venue, we find it lacking. Hopefully everything will turn out fine.

NicePrint Photography

We were initially thinking of another supplier but decided to get Nice Print when we saw their album layouts, prenupt shoots and on-site videos. They are very nice and accommodating plus they gave us great freebies because of our package. We ended up getting their Centuria package along with on-site video and pre-nupt pictorial with video.

Cardprints Inc.

Cardprints Inc.

SM Southmall

Manila

801 1891

Email: customercare@cardprints.com.ph

We chose Cardprints because they are affordable, simple and classic. We tried checking other printers but we still ended up with them. We saw what they made for my brother's wedding and we liked it. We're pretty confident that they will do the same for us.

Bohol Beach Club

Bohol Beach Club

After much searching and inquiring with the different resorts in bohol, we decided to stay at the best. After all, this is our honeymoon and we should be enjoying ourselves :) Besides, neither of us have been to Bohol so this is a great opportunity for us to explore this new place.

We really wanted to get a florist from Dangwa especially since we decided to spruce up the reception venue as well. It was a blessing that we found a Dangwa supplier at the SM Wedding Expo. They were the first florist we saw and we booked them right away because they were easy to talk to and very accommodating sa requests namin.

Reggie Gaba - Designer

Reggie Gaba - Designer

+639273125963

I found out about Reggie via W@W. He's worked for Renee Salud for 10 years before pursuing his own career as a designer. I heard good things from his clients so I decided to meet with him. It didn't take long for me to decide that I wanted him to do our entourage gowns and finally my own bridal gown -- and this is without seeing any of his gowns.. talagang based on TRUST and GOOD REVIEWS. You can check the gown designs he made for me in the photo gallery section. What I wanted to see in all the gowns was CUT, FIT and COLOR. I think he can give me exactly what I want -- ELEGANCE and SIMPLICITY.

D&M (Design and Matters)

D&M (Design and Matters)

Email: designandmatters@gmail.com
Contact: Jasmin

We discovered Jasmin through W@W. She was very easy to talk to and was very cooperative and accommodating even though we had a number of changes to the design. She wasn't originally making STD "cards" but she did it for us.

She also keeps her promise and our STD's were available 4 days after we made the downpayment. We were very satisfied with the final product and we definitely recommend you try her out. Her prices are also very affordable :)

The Manila Hotel

The Manila Hotel

One Rizal Park, Roxas Blvd.

Manila

+63 2 5270011

After inquiring at some of our other options, we decided to have our wedding preparations at the Manila Hotel. The prices, although still quite high, were reasonable compared to other hotels. I was a bit surprised though because when I called them, the person I talked to mentioned a 30% discount for local residents. When we made our reservations, the front desk told us there was no change in price even for local residents. Still, we liked the rooms and we thought it was the best hotel for our needs not to mention its proximity to Manila Cathedral and San Agustin.

0920-9052454 (contact her via email first)

You can email Pam at pamsulit@yahoo.com

I saw her through Multiply and I liked the designs. We wanted to make our wedding cord special so I asked her to custom it for us based on our color motif. I also ended up liking the bracelets and we were looking for gifts for the entourage so I asked her to make them as well. Price is quite affordable and worth it if you want to make your wedding special.
