I would like to give a short review of my suppliers for the benefit of those who are still planning their weddings. Had my wedding just last week and I'm still so overwhelmed with my guests reactions saying that it was one of the best weddings they have attended.
Sacred Heart Parish (ceremony) - very cheap considering that included na sa ila church fees ang decoration sa church & the bridal car. ila na pd ang 2 candles and the seat & kneeler for the couple. Additional expense lng kay in excess of 1 pair of principal sponsors kay P100 each. then naa pd electricity charge. downside is, strict sila in a lot of things. misalettes & song list should be approved by them.
Casino Espaņol (reception) - great food, great service. I highly recommend this venue for your reception.
Hotel Elizabeth (preparations) - spacious rooms, wide choice of breakfast, great service. downside, I think they charge additional fee for the video/lights used in the room. but since we got 3 rooms, they waived it.
Fleur de Liz (flowers) - we had a not so good experience w/ them. naa daghan items sa wedding nga wla nila na-meet. although during the planning stage, very accommodating ang owner. but pg-abt na sa wedding day, kulang sya ug mga tao to execute the planned decorations. ending, daghan kulang & wa nahuman.
Becomingone (wedding rings) - dumaguete-based ni sya, but ang anak sa owner lives here. very beautiful craftsmanship. and barato sd. just make sure to order it ahead of time kay sa dumaguete pa mn gd ipahimo. then i-ship pa padng dri.
Billy Sienes (emcee) - highly recommended!
very good emcee. witty kaayo sya. good timing as to when to throw those punchlines. lingaw jd kau amo mga guests sa program.
Marissa Unchuan (cake) - lami ang cake. not too sweet ang icing. downside, wla na-follow ang ako gusto nga design. but still, the cake design was okay.
Team Papicture (photo/video) - highly rcommended!
ganahan kaayo ko sa amo SDE. even if dli ang masterpiece package amo gkuha, the video came out very beautiful. wla pa nuon ko kakita sa official pictures. but based sa amo prenup pics, nindot kaayo ug mga kuha.
Wendell Quisido (gowns/suit/HMUA) - gowns: I loved my gown!
daghan kaayo ni-praise sa ako gown. and they all thought it was very expensive but sa tinoud, it was not that expensive considering nga all lace ang gown. nindot sd kaayo ang mga gowns sa mother of the bride & groom. suit: my groom was so handsome that day!
sakto kaayo ug fit iyang suit. HMUA: natural ra kaayo ang makeup, loved it!
Keith Bacayo (entourage HMUA) - nindot pd cla mu-make-up. light ra. downside, they arrived 2 hours late. ending kay g-dali2x na ang hair sa mga bridesmaid.
Mitra Jayme (coordinator) - highly recommended!
abtik and very efficient sa ila work. stress-free jd kaayo ako wedding day.
Cebu Male Singers (choir) - highly recommended!
nindot kaayo sila mga tingog. solemn pa jd kaayo paminawn kay they're all male.
Bong Suzara (dj) - highly recommended!
stress-free kaayo akong recpetion kay sya na tanan sa pgplay sa music. mg-agad pd sya sa crowd as to kung unsa genre sa music iya i-play.
I had bad experiences with my shoes (customized). Just PM me if you want to know who they are.
If you wish to know the rate of each supplier, just PM me. Thanks!
Hope this little review helps you in your planning. God bless on your preparations!
