Shrine of Jesus
Wedding Ceremony and Reception Venue
ANNE speaks:
I've had my eyes set on this church for a very long time. I had the privilege to be a delegate during the National Youth Day back in 1999 (if I'm not mistaken) and this church was the only structure in the reclamation area.
I said to myself, "This is a perfect place for weddings, very easy to spot and far from the busy streets."
I wanted to have the wedding on December or January because the church is exceptionally beautiful during Christmas season. It has lights that bounce off from the exterior walls that change colors from time to time.
Tamayo's
Caterer
We've visited a couple of wedding receptions (before the guests arrive of course) and have seen Mr. Tamayo really checking if everything is going according to plan.
We've met his wife as well, just by coincidence, when we were booking the reception. After letting her know that we booked them for the reception, she was really very thankful in a way that you feel you are a very important customer to them.
We went to the food tasting at Villa Immaculada at Intramuros and loved everything except for a couple of dishes.
Treasured Memories
Photo and Video Coverage
Richard (Manny Villar look-a-like) together with his better half, Eden, are very accommodating. We saw them first during a bridal expo in SMX and we were impressed. For the kind of work/output they produce, and the rate they're charging, could it be that we totally ripped them off?!
Just to be sure, we went to their actual shop near Tiendesita's and again, we were impressed! We're looking forward to our pre-nups and the actual wedding photos/videos.

Ysabelle (Laurence) - Bridal Factory
Couturier
At last! After hours and hours of surfing the net and reading through batches of pages of supplier review at W@W eGroups, I've confirmed that Bridal-Factory is indeed one of the most affordable gown/barong makers in the industry! Considering they really make good quality gowns based on what I've seen in their shop and what other past brides have written about them.
Well, it's not located south, nor north.. it's just in the middle of everyone in our entourage. I was hoping someone nearer our place (Paranaque) and just have everyone go to our house for the fitting sessions. Well, the good thing about their location is that it's right along EDSA.
I've got a decent quote on the whole entourage including my gown and the 2 moms plus the groom and the dads. I've added them all up and I'm really impressed on how much I'll save compared to getting someone I already gotten a quote from here in the south.

168 Events Management (events by Kath Lee)
On-The-Day-Coordinator
Anne speaks:
I like this group since they're near Mario's place and because they limit the number of weddings they manage in a month! That's quality assurance for you!
Pretty pretty Kath Lee and Gille (I'm sure we'll meet one of these days) are very very accommodating and they answer a lot of questions and help out whenever they can! I'm looking forward to working with them on our wedding day!

Vienna Cakes
Cake Supplier
Tamayo's has already included a 3-layer fondant cake in the package so we need not worry about buying a whole wedding cake for a ridiculous amount, but we only had to choose which affiliated cake supplier we will be getting our cake from.
We chose Vienna because we liked a particular design. Hopefully it'll taste good on the wedding day too!

What can I say! She's an amazing person! She's very professional, always on time if not earlier and she makes an effort to be punctual. Very passionate about her work and you'll feel at ease upon talking to her!
I look great on our pre-nup pictures because of her!!!

Velvet Mood Musicale
Strings and Singers
Edwin has been so easy to deal with and he's a very very very salesman! ^_^
I can't imagine I'd get such a good bargain for excellent music and package! They play for an unlimited number of hours and the promise is that they'll never leave until the guests are there! Can you really ignore that kind of package?

Angel of Hearts
Florist
As some of you might have noticed, w@w is my primary basis for suppliers (weddings at work - an online network of future and past brides). Angel of Hearts is one of the well-known reliable supplier with a reputation for being easy on the budget.
Both Lawrence and Lorry Jean are very accommodating which made the decision easier. Lawrence knew a great deal about the business, which flowers match, what to suggest and can explain why it's better. I know they fit perfectly in the A1 roster of suppliers.
* Trivia - it was my first time to go to Dangwa when we were looking for Angel of Hearts... It's just a few minutes walk away from UST... shame on me for being a Thomasian and not knowing where Dangwa is....

Sweet Casuyon
Host/Emcee
Like Michelle Zapanta, I didn't need to talk to Sweet to know that she's a great supplier. Yes, in w@w, her reputation comes before her. I booked her without meeting first. We only met after we had confirmed our reservation.
She's so energetic and has this irresistible charm about her. She's also a beauty, both in and out. I love her being herself in front of the client and just letting it lose. I detect pretenses easily and I felt none from Sweet. Yes, she is very sweet. ^_^
