Our suppliers cum friends will be one of the highlights on our special day.
Bride's bestfriend. Almost like my daily diary. I get lots of inputs from this group. Im not really that OC- but you will learn from this group. You can ask them anything from church to wedding reception, otd, hmua, designer up to the little details. Very supportive and helpful group..

We booked Mang Ensong within last minute. We opted to have chocolate fountain or salad bar or tortilla chips with salsa dip.. kaso hubby's sis told us to try their friend's cali mak..
So, ayun we visited Balsa in Malabon and tried their cali maki. supppeeerrr loved it.. so ayun.. we booked Mang Ensong on the spot..
We added 2 lechon for our wedding.. Actually my sis in law gave this as her gift for us.. Kasi when she got married we gave them lechon.. ahehehe.. parang exchange gift lang no? sweet.. we loved the lechon.. super malutong and yummy pa..
We don't want to get separate supplier for this kaya we got the bridal car from our caterer na din.. (got good rates from Sir Robert).. galing ng haggling powers ni mama.. =)
Booked them 2 days before the wedding date... we were supposed to use the one from my brother's company kaso ayoko yun sila pa mag seset up.. basta ayoko ng hassle so ayun.. naka book na kme nun sa Nextgen then ni cancel nmen and then go nanaman, by that time e hindi na daw available yun sa kakilala nila.. good thing I still have the contact number of Janvisuals..

I believe this one is God's gift for us.. As early as January 2007 we are planning to book Pasig Cathedral or NSDG.. Until we decided to inquire with Christ the King. Ive asked the help of my friend Sandra to inquire for the rate. At first, we were hesitant kasi a bit pricey sya..until I asked my mom to go there directly and inquire personally.. ayun.. on the spot they booked it na..
Trivia: When I was in Manila (we used to visit Christ the King every holy week for the bisita iglesia). I kneeled down and prayed that I will come back to that church to have my own wedding. Now its really coming true..Thanks God..
We've booked Christ the King last January 27, 2007.. thanks to my family for booking it in advance.. I think 1 year and 6 mos in advance.. ahihi.. aga no?
The package includes:
carpet
flowers for the aisles
soloist
priest
aircon
We love the location of the church. Its just perfect for us.
Sidestory:
Everything just fell into place. Weve booked 888.. they gave me the 3 pm slot.. lucky date dau yun kaya nmen ni book yun.. kaso, being overseas couple ayoko naman mhirapan kme mag hagilap ng suppliers. Feeling ko madami kasi papakasal ng 888.. kaya we decided to get 8.16.8 instead.
8.16.8
falls on a full moon..
saturday
in time para sa pag uwi namin next year

They say moments lasts forever thats why we decided to invest on this. Being a practical couple we got Jayson's Team and we just love their style.
Deciding Factor
1. They have good/positive feedback from my fellow w@wies
2. Very talented and has fresh ideas
3. Good package at a reasonable price
4. Recommended for overseas couple like us (answers queries promptly)
5. Very easy to deal with. (better hire somebody who treats you like a friend para no awkward moments come prenup time and wedding day. mas masaya mag project pag kilala mo ang fotographer db?)
6. Eventhough they're just new in the biz super galing pa din nila.. Imagine ha? he bagged 1st place for prenup category in the WPPP photo congress 2007 last October 24, 2007. kaya were proud to be their client.. =)
Another fab find..
Our choices before..
1. Threelogy
2. Jason Magbanua
3. MG Digital
4. Reeldeal
5. Jezreel
6. Playback
I was choosing among the six suppliers when suddenly I happen to read some feedback about NEXTGEN. They dont have as much feedback in weddingsatwork but I know this group are super GALING.. and astig ang cinematography.. I love their style.. We were suppose to take just the normal video package from other suppliers but we just fell inlove with their works.. Good thing, my FIL gave this to us as a wedding gift. Yey!
Every girls' dream, is to walk down the aisle with the perfect-white flowing dress.. amidst the rows of flowers.. pews.. and the people you love most.
This is one of my major concerns during the preps. Being an overseas bride its a bit difficult to check their works and samples. I just have to rely on other brides for their inputs and experiences.
My first choice was Cecilio Abad Couture. He makes stylish and elegant gowns but he is way out of our budget. So, Ive checked out Ms. Raquel Pineyra, Cris Obcena, Ms. Tina of New Yorker and Ms. Tet Hagape of Teresa Hagape Creations.
Among my choices Ive decided to book Ms. Tet for the following reasons:
1. Replies to emails promptly (a plus factor for me)
2. She gives you ideas of the gowns which will suit your body type. (well she didnt actually see me but i sent her my whole body picture)
3. Very professional.
4. Very nice to deal with
5. Her gowns are simple yet elegant
6. she lives in pasig ( a plus din for me, since my mom has to deal with the designer)
7. Reasonably priced
still clueless for your designer? try Maam Tet.. =)
Picking the right designer involves 2 main considerations
1. style (does it match yours?)
2. Cost (can you afford it?)
An event to remember..
What makes a good celebration? Sumptuous food... free flowing drinks.. all the festivities going on will leave a mark on your guest's mind.. So, we decided to hire a professinal emcee..
I inquired for her services thru chikka. She is very prompt in replying. I didnt have any problems booking our wedding date 8.16.8. She informed me that she was still available for our wedding date thats why after a week we decided to give her our downpayment.
She is so bubbly.. I liked her immediately and I know our guests will love her too. I dont even have to think of the wedding program for the reception because she already prepared it for me.. Kaya i know na makakapag relax kme ni h2b sa wedding day.. =)
To provide us with sounds, lighting moods and special effects.. We got one of the most famous suppliers here at w@w.
His package is the real deal talaga. Booking him is another blessing din for us. He was available. He gave us the old rate instead of the new rates khet na naka pencil book palang kami.. He was prompt in replying din (talgang big points to para smen). Super magalang pa si sir Elmer.
- i love the lighting moods and dancing lights that they're going to provide
- the bubble machine.. super excited ako sa bubble machine.. so cute..
- fog juice
- good sound system to set the mood for the occasion
They had another cake supplier.. but anyway, we love our simple cake.. gum paste yun ginamit nila.. then moist chocolate cake yun inside nya.. yummy din sya.. infairness.. booked them within last minute..
