    I recommend you to check out Juan Carlo the Caterer.. Great services that you won't really wanna miss. Proven to be very articulate with their passion in catering... and the food? I must say it is really amazing and elegant. If you want here's a link to their site, check it out: Juan Carlo The Caterer

    My sister had them for her wedding and it is so much adorn by others.

    First: set a budget. Don't forget to include the honeymoon.

    Second: set a date, and reserve the venue(s).

    Third: shop for suppliers/vendors. Attend fairs.

    Fourth: join mailing lists/forums like WeddingsAtWork to exchange tips and info about suppliers.

    Fifth: Finalize everything.

    Sixth: Get a pro coordinator or just a friend.

    Seventh: Enjoy the moment and don't worry. Something will go wrong but don't let it spoil the event.

    Here are my photos: http://www.clifford.com.ph/wedshots.html

    And a story, which is pretty long: http://www.clifford.com.ph/wedstory1.html

    Might glean some tips or even suppliers. Good luck!

    How true! We had a lot of problems, but still had a kick-a$$ and memorable wedding.

    I can't give much advice about suppliers myself, because some of the discounts (ka-pamilya, eh... hehehe) won't apply, but I can tell you this: having a friend who is a wedding coordinator or supplier and knowing a caterer personally will bring down your costs considerably.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    what we did was hired a ON-Day coordinator 6K lang siya nung year 2000,
    we almost did everything meron nabibiling wedding book planner sa national bookstore, yun lang ang ginamit namin.

    basta maganda ang lead time ninyo and naka set na church and reception, smooth sailing na yan, ah yeah dont forget kapag may napag sunduan na dapat may contract ok, 1 week before my wedding bumagyo... yung florist namin cannot commit sa price and availability ng flowers...ayun super rush naghanap kami ng ibang florist buti na naman nakahanap din.

    tama sila wedding planner magastos yun... kayo na lang magplan for your wedding. madami sa magazine if you want suf mo lang. ako layout/graphic artist i design my own invitation, pero it take time kasi akin yun invitation, hehehehe! tagal pinag-isipan.

    invitation --- go to quiapo, sa QP dami don
    photgrapher ---- surf the net or magazine (but check your budget for that)
    video ----- ganun din surf the net and magazine, meron iba package na, meron iba hiwalay para mas concentrate sila sa project nila
    church----- different range of prices mas old church mas mahal.....
    reception --- ganun din...

    I got married last april 05

    Photo ko inabot ng 45k, libre na wedding car nothin fancy but puede na (volvo s40) digital print with layout

    Hindi na ako gumamit ng coordinator, i just ask a well known florist in our town to set things up, after all hotels florists photograper, sanay na sa mga wedding kaya alam na gagawin. Mga guest naman mostly Makakain lang habol niyan. Kaya wag na kayo mag paimpress masyado hehehehe
    By the way grupo ni blackmagic nagstay sa weddding ko iyan till the last minute. TNX man!!!


    Just dont pressure yourself na maging perfect ang wedding nyo dahil am sure hindi nyo maeenjoy yan pag pnressure nyo sarili nyo. Ok din naman ang hindi rehearse may memorable candid moments na nangyayari.

    Ang tip ko lang eh

    Dont spend more in your wedding in who you really are.

    Ive known some people na ang mahal ng kasal in the end they spend the first years of their wedding paying debts.

    reception ko island cove

    Nice! Good price for digital. Sana maganda ang kuha. Pero kahit anong price, gamble lang talaga na maganda ang kuha ng fotogs, no matter how good they are. So much is dependent on the conditions and lighting during the wedding and reception.

    for the photos .. if you're on a tight budget and you want digital .. don't get the album first .. just get the service .. tapos pag-may pera na kayo .. ipa-album mo .. i got a digital package with an album .. 7th months later ... hindi pa kami tapos mamili ng photos para ilagay sa album .. nagmamakaawa na yung photographer namin na ibigay sa kanila para ma-layout na at lahat at baka magmahal ang printing .. hehe ..

    yep oks na yung price considering included na dun yung 20"x24" blow-up canvass. and canvass is more expensive than phototack. with a nice looking frame pa.

    eto mga sample pics nya from previous marriages.

    nung kasal namin di pa gaanong uso mga wedding coordinators, napapaisip nga ako ngayon buti kinaya namin lahat

    and maganda rin kung meron kang mga friends or relatives na ang business ay may relation sa mga kelangan sa kasal. yung invitation card namin, kumuha kami ng sample sa Socialite (worth P120.00 each in 1998), tapos pinagaya namin sa uncle ng wife ko na may printing press, P17.00 each lang ;)

    also, buti medyo hindi na uso ang mga souvenirs/give aways ngayon. medyo magastos din kasi ito. ang ginawa naman namin dati, nagcanvass kami sa malls, nung may nagustuhan kami, tinanong namin kung saan ang factory or pagawaan nila, binigay naman nung engot na saleslady kaya dumiretso kami dun, less than 1/3 ng price sa mall lang ang nagastos namin.

    and isang advice ko lang, iwasan magset ng wedding date during july-september, baka tumapat kasi na meron bagyo on that day, baka maraming guests ang hindi magattend, nakakabadtrip yan.

    Makisabat lang po. :D

    It does help kung may coordinator ang isang soon-to-be wedded couple (and I'm not saying this just because I'm one.) Ideally, it doesn't have to be a professional coordinator. Kung tight ang budget, you can gather some of your guests to help out. One caveat, though: hindi mo sila mauutusan ng ganun kadalas, kasi nga TY lang ang service nila sa iyo.

    Especially kung members pa sila ng wedding entourage, don't expect them to help out that often, particularly with legwork. Syempre naka-gown at make-up ang mga 'yan, masisira lang. I'm speaking from experience; we got married without a coordinator, kaya sa video footage namin, si misis may hawak-hawak na pera during her make-up. Yung mga friends niya na pinaki-usapan niyang tumulong, halos wala ding ginawa. Komo kasi lahat mga dalaga, they don't have any idea on what a bride's needs are. The most helpful among them was the maid of honor, and she was late at the church. At least nakaalalay siya nung nasira yung petticoat ni misis sa reception. It wasn't a complete disaster, but we knew it could have been better. Which is why we entered into this enterprise.

    We had one wedding where everything went wrong i.e. the couple booked the wrong suppliers. Kinuha nila kami three weeks before the date, dun pa lang, nagre-remedyo na kami ng bridal gown dahil malil-mali ang sukat. Then on the day of the wedding, they were sent a green bridal car (hiniram na lang namin yung white service shuttle ng hotel)and the bouquet was all wilted (sumugod kami ng Megamall para magpagawa ng bagong bouquet sa Tecson). Yung pinakamatindi, pinadalhan ng prenup agreement yung bride galing sa pamilya ng groom, sa araw ng kasal, ha? We refused to let her sign the contract, as she did not have a lawyer. Nung hinanap sa kanya ng mga in-laws niya, nag-alibi na lang siya na naiwan namin (coordinators) yung contract sa hotel.

    Will your budget allow you to have a coordinator? It depends on two things: which coordinator are you getting, and which service are you availing? Syempre, kung medyo beterano na yung coordinator na kukunin, naturally mas mahal ang service fee. Kung medyo bagu-bago, mas affordable since they're still making a name for themselves in the wedding industry. Sa service type, there are three standard services offered by coordinators: on-the-day (OTD), shared at full.

    On-the-day coordination -- yung couple ang magbu-book lahat ng clients, magsasara lahat ng transactions prior to the wedding day. Option ng client na ipagawa sa coordinators ang pag-RSVP sa mga guests. Pagdating ng araw ng event, turn-over na lahat ng responsibilities sa coordinator to ensure a smooth flow. Kumbaga, sa couple ang preparation, sa coordinator ang execution.

    Shared coordination -- the couple will book half of the necessary suppliers, the coordinator will book the rest. Sabay silang magfa-follow up ng suppliers in the days leading to the event, then supervise pa rin ang coordinators sa overall execution on the day.

    Full coordination -- eto yung pinakamahal na service type, since this involves the complete involvement of the coordinator, from conceptualization/planning, transacting with suppliers, all the way to execution.

    In between these, the coordinators must be readily contacted for any consultations/revisions/emergencies by the couple. For our part, we can only commit weekends for meetings since we have day jobs, pero lagi kaming available via phone call, text or email if there's any problem. Lastly, if we're not available sa date nung kliyente, we refer them to other coordinators whom we know are just as qualified to handle their wedding.

    Incidentally, we have a wedding tomorrow at NSDG and the Manila Polo Club.

    An aside on Ariel Javelosa: magaling si Ariel sa photography, kaya lang hindi siya mismo yung nagco-cover on the day of the event. He does it only kung favorite niya yung client, which I think is too bad. Pangalan pa naman niya yung naka-pronta sa negosyo niya tapos hindi pala siya yung sisipot.
