Supplier Ratings
Its been exactly a month since my wedding. The whole day went so fast, but a few moments will stay in my thoughts for a lifetime. But enough about the wedding kwento muna and let me share with you my supplier ratings first. Promise next post would be the kwento. This will be a long read but I do hope you enjoy reading this as much I enjoyed writing and reminiscing the most memorable day of my life.
Church: San Agustin Church, Intramuros Manila
Contact Nos: 527-4052
Rating: 10
This was not our first choice for the church. We initially wanted to wed at St. James in Alabang. Aside from the beauty of the church, guests would be very comfortable since it is air conditioned. But we couldn’t quite match the church with a reception venue (kwento below). So we scouted again, this time in Intramuros area. We looked at Manila Cathedral second, of course this is one beautiful church, plus this church is also air conditioned like St. James, definitely a plus. But one thing that turned us off is that the church has no decent parking space. Well yeah you can park at the side streets but even the side streets can be full during Saturdays because of weddings before an after us. So we scrapped it and went to San Agustin, just a stone’s throw away from Manila Cathedral. We instantly fell in love with the church! It was small but the interior was beautiful. Plus it had ample parking spaces. Though it didn’t have air conditioning like the first two, the Intramuros wall right behind the church and the museum at the side of the church were we could take pictures more than made up for it.
We didn’t encounter any problem dealing with San Agustin. The girl at the office is very accommodating. The fees included the church, plus an organist and soloist and basic flower arrangement. We didn’t get their soloist and organist anymore coz we already got Sentimental Groove. One problem with San Agustin though is that everything has a permit with a corresponding fee, the loft, the museum, the Intramuros wall. And lo, even the closing of the door! I didn’t know this until that day when Jody told me the coordinators of San Agustin is asking her for a permit to close the door. I mean come on! Would you have thought that you need to pay to close the door?! This is the only reason why I’m giving them 9.5 instead of 10.
During that day the church was beautiful! San Agustin looks really grand when the chandeliers are open and the church is all lit up! My wedding is at 4pm, already the third wedding that day. I have upgraded the flowers but I was still worried that the flowers would look wilted and ugly since I am the last for the day. I was so happy when I saw the flowers as I walked down the aisle. They were still very fresh! The calla lilies looked beautiful on the pictures!
Reception: Manila Polo Club
Official Caterer: Makati Skyline

Rating: 10
When we were initially scouting for a reception venue we were at a loss. I didn’t really know what I want, I initially wanted a garden reception but I know it wouldn’t work because September is a rainy season. We looked at hotels but I felt that they were too expensive, so we looked for other venues. We looked at country clubs next, and Manila Polo is what really caught our eyes. It was not the typical country club, you wouldn’t even feel you are in a country club when you are inside, you’d feel you are in a hotel because of the high ceiling and beautiful chandeliers. I have attended several events there before, mainly company parties and I was always impressed at how beautiful it looked when dressed up. Food was also always splendid. But it was exclusive for members (no they are not like others where banquet sales can arrange for a member to sponsor for you), and you need to find a member yourself to be sponsored. A problem initially, solution - our company is member so I just asked the assignee of the membership to sign the authorization letter with the promise that I will settle everything right after the reception! Problem solved!
We got only food from Manila Polo although they had a wedding package. I’m actually not a very big fan of packages because it is usually very limiting with very little room for changes. So I just got the food from them and took care of everything else. It was big work but hey, whose complaining!
Everyone was raving about the food! Everyone was telling me they had seconds coz they loved the food. During cocktails my mom was telling me that the waiters were bringing in food like non-stop! This is really great news for me since food was really top of our priority; we want our guests to really enjoy the food!
We got their Italian Buffet. It included the following:
Cocktails:
Mushroom and Olive Bruschetta (pass around)
Banana wrapped in Bacon (pass around)
Vegetable Sticks and blue cheese Dip
Salad:
German Potato Salad
Salmon Carpaccio with Chives
Pastrami and Parma Ham
Tomato with Mozzarella (My favorite!)
Spicy Glass Noodle Salad
Insalata de pesce
Mixed Green Salad with assorted condiments (Caesar, French, etc.)
Soup:
Minestrone
Rolls and Butter
Hot Items:
Chicken Picatta
Osso Buco
Pork Scallop Milanese
Baked Snapper with white wine
Vegetable Gratin
Risi Bisi
Pasta Station:
Angel Hair, Linguini & Penne
Sauces: Fruiti de Mare (Yummy!!), Mushroom Pesto
Carving:
Roast Leg of Lam with Rosemary
Two rounds of drink, choice of iced tea or softdrink in can
Plus Kiddie menu of spaghetti, chicken skewer, mini hotdog roll, chocolate cake squares and one round of drink: juice, fresh milk or chocolate drink
Price was also very reasonable. I’m sure if we had the same menu at a hotel I’d have to pay double what I paid at Polo. Kiddie meal was also very reasonable at P275 each. It was really a steal!
They also provided the crew meal for the crew the stylist (Interplay) who set-up the place. It was also very reasonable at P150 per head.
I only encountered one problem with Polo, exactly one week before my wedding, my AE resigned. It was ok though since everything was jotted down in their files, but one thing she missed was the crew meal. It was not on our contract, I read our contract before hand and notice that it was not included but I thought that since the crew meal is not coming exactly from Polo (it would come from a different concessionaire), it really should not be in the contract. We only learned of the problem when during around lunch time that day, Lala (of Interplay) called Jody asking about the crew meal, good thing Jody was quick and just worked with Polo to find a way to solve the problem. Even with this I still gave them 10 since I am really very happy at how they handled my wedding.
Entourage Flowers and Reception Styling: Interplay Flowers

I booked Lala last Sept2004 Wedding expo. Only reason I booked her that time was because she gave me the ceiling swags at a very low price. I got her to do my entourage flowers plus the swags that time since I was also very impressed with her bouquets, I was just not confident enough that she can also pull off the reception styling. I was eyeing another supplier to do that for me. But I encountered problems with this other supplier, I remember posting in W@W, asking opinions if I will drop this supplier I was working with because that time they seem to not have time for me. In fairness to them, I know that they have other wedding bookings plus corporate accounts. I had actually met with them twice already but after that I couldn’t get hold of them anymore. During that time I was already working with Lala on the ento flowers, we were just talking casually when she asked about my reception flowers. By this time my patience with this other supplier was already waning, I told Lala that I am actually working with this supplier but having some problems with them. She immediately told me that she had done set-ups very similar with what I had wanted and that she might be able to help. So I asked her to quote for me. Her quote already included everything from centrepieces, couple’s backdrop, ceiling swags, reception styling plus lights and sounds, exactly how I wanted it to be. The quote was very attractive! After much thought I finally decided to go with her.
I did not encounter any problem with Lala. She is very creative and her passion always excites me. She infuses ideas in times where my imagination fails me. I knew that time that I didn’t want my centrepieces to be the same per table, so she gave me three design ideas that took my breath away! We decided to go with a tropical theme that will combine flowers, fruits, candles, sand and pebbles and even gold fishes. So she combined everything and created three designs that will interchange between the tables so that it creates an interesting sight. She also put ceiling swags and Japanese lanterns to create an over-all tropical mood. The mood lightning she put was also really beautiful with an interchange of pink, orange and green!
I love my bouquet! It was a bouquet of pink Columbian and Holland roses with swarovski crystal inserts! It was really amazing! My friends are all raving how beautiful it was. I also love the bouquets of the moms, calla lilies with pink roses in the middle. I love the pomanders for the secondary sponsors too! My sister’s bouquet of roses, carnations and pink liliums was also amazing!
Orchids for additional décor: ACA Orchids
Contact Nos.: PM me for details
Rating: 0
If I didn’t need inexpensive orchids I would not have worked with this particular supplier! Yes he has the cheapest orchids but customer service sucks! I do not know of any other businessman who would turn a client already paying downpayment away. He said he just needs one week to prepare my 100 potted orchids so I do not need to pay downpayment one month before. But how can I sleep peacefully at night when I know I have this one major element of the wedding still unresolved! I originally wanted to give these orchids away as souvenirs and double it as table centrepieces but because of the problems this guy is giving me, I gave up on it and just looked for other souvenirs items. In the end I still needed around 25 pots for the reception décor so I came back to him to buy. We originally agreed on a price already but when I came back he said he had no orchids costing that price on hand. Come on! He just told me a couple of weeks he can deliver 100 pots at that price and here he is telling me he don’t have 25 pots! In the end I was forced to get the 25 pots at a higher price! Grrr!
Souvenirs: Angel Candle holders from Divisoria
Rating: 10
I had to find another souvenir because of the problems I encountered with the orchid supplier. I went to Divi to find souvenir items I can get, I was not hopeful I’d find something there coz I don’t like the figurine thingies. Good think I found this small candle holders which I think looked really good and just bought it. I then bought sinamay bags to house the candle holders. My guests love them!
On the day Coordination: Jody Liwanag of Events Experts

When I was still in the early stages of my preparations I said I would not need a coordinator, even on the day as I have so much time to prepare everything that I know I’d be able to handle everything. But as I went along preparing and got to talk with suppliers and fellow brides at w@w, I realized I needed someone to over-look the day itself so that I can enjoy the wedding itself and not have to worry about things. One tip though that most suppliers told me about wedding coordinators is that they can either be my heaven sent saviour or my worst problem if I do not choose right. During that time I only had two coordinators in mind: Rita Neri and Jody Liwanag. And since I could not afford Rita Neri, I went with Jody Liwanag. And I believe I made the right choice.
Jody was in complete control of the whole wedding. Since she arrived at around 11:30am, I really felt her take charge. She started briefing me of the things that will happen while I was being made up by Marge. She took care of the problem with Manila Polo with ease. She also took care of the lunch of all 20 suppliers who were at my room during that time. I felt I was in good hands. From the church to the reception everything went smoothly, with not a single glitch. Most of my guests commented that everything was organized, from the registration to the cocktails to the seating to the program. The coordinators knew exactly what to do.
Even before the day, I knew Jody was in control. Every time we meet, all my worries disappear coz she knew exactly what to do. Whenever I have problems, I just tell her about it and she would always have the answer. She has really grown to be an expert in her field and I’m glad to have had worked with her.
Bridal Gown and Groom’s Barong: Joel Bautista
Contact Nos. 758-1353

http://www.joelbautista.comRating: 10
Joel is one of my favourite supplier! He transformed this simple sketch to the most beautiful dress I’d ever wear in my life. He totally understood what I wanted right from the start. He made me eight sketches, all equally stunning and all very me…but this one sketch stood out: a sketch of an off-shoulder lace gown. We both agreed that this is the gown for me.
We had a total of two fittings, when I had my first fitting the gown was still very raw, still without the beadings, but when I wore it, I felt like a bride! There were very minimal adjustments to be made after that first fitting. The second fitting was two weeks before the wedding, the gown was already finished! The lace was already fully beaded, same as the detachable train. I was melting when I wore my gown the second time. My mom, who was with me during the second fitting was breathless when she saw me, she was teary-eyed, and was very impressed at how the gown turned out.
Gel also loved his barong! When we paid our downpayment to Joel December of last year, there was this one particular pina fabric that he really liked. Joel generously agreed to hold on to the fabric and not show it to his other clients until after Gel decides, which happened around June of this year already. That's a full 6 months! In the end Gel still got that design. The fabric was pina dupion made in Lumban. Whats great about his barongs is that his embroidery is always one of a kind so you are sure you will not find any other like it.
What I love about Joel is that he is very straightforward. Maybe that’s why we got along, very sincere in telling you what will work and what will not. He is not the usual machika supplier, but he gets things done, very professional.
On the day of the wedding my gown arrived at around 10:30am at the hotel. I melted again when his team assembled the gown on the bodyform. I was still being made-up by Madge while they were assembling it but when I finished and saw my gown, my knees were shaking I had to hold on to something.
Joel did not leave me until after the church ceremony. His assistants took care of putting on and off my detachable train. His assistants also sew a bustle for me so I can walk around during the reception.
Bridal shoes and accessories: Joel Bautista
Rating: 10
Joel took care of all my accessories, shoes, veil and my crystal cord. I loved my veil! Its sparkling against the light! My shoes were also very comfortable! What I liked about it was that it had grips at the underside so I don’t slide while walking. My crystal cord was also amazing! I originally wanted to do this myself but when I saw that he also does this, I just told him how I wanted it to be done and I just let him handle it. Good decision for me since this would definitely take time to make.
Female Entourage Gowns: Ofelia’s Dress Shop
Contact Nos.: 0916-2499204
Rating: 10
We wanted to get the entourage gown maker to be in San Pedro since most of our entourage are from there. Aling Ofelia was such a darling lady, when I first went to her shop she immediately showed me some of her works. We talked about gown designs, colors and swatches. She also gave me an initial estimate based on the design I have in mind. I actually went to another designer in the vicinity, New Creations, which I also liked. But she turned out more expensive than Aling Ofelia so we decided to go with Aling Ofelia to do the ento gowns. And she did not fail us. She did all the entourage and flower girl gowns plus the gown of my mom and sister who is also the MOH. All of them were raving about their gowns. They got their gowns on their first fitting! My mom absolutely loved her gown and I loved it too! It was very simple but very dramatic at the same time. I would definitely come back to her for future gowns!
Male Entourage Barongs: Belen’s Embroidery

Rating: 10
We bought ready made barongs for our male entourage based on their measurements and just asked them to have it altered if it needed altering. We got the jusi pina at a very reasonable price plus discount since we bought in bulk (total of seven pieces). The quality was very good and the embroidery was also very good, comparable to barongs sold at the department stores. All our male entourage were very happy with their barongs.
Hair and Make-up: Madge Lejano

Madge’s style is very classic, the “like-no-make-up-look”. And if fit me perfectly! I loved how my face didn’t change at all, she just tried to highlight my features like my eyes and cheekbones and that’s it.
I also like her portable make-up table! Its soo neat! She is using white lights and is the most unflattering of all lights so you are sure you look good even with these lights, what more if you are in a beautifully lit room!
Getting Madge must have been the best decision I did. I am very oily plus, I didn’t even know it, but I am acidic! I only learned about it on the day when she noticed the pinks she puts on me turns violet! But she still was able to do my face perfectly. Even my mom and sister were impressed at how well she performed. My face was so clean and so me! I also loooove A! He did a great job with my hair! I love the bun and the small swirls he did on top of my bun.
Madge didn’t leave my side from preps until the end of the reception. Imagine she was touching-up my make-up in front of the church right after the ceremony! Hehehe! She was my constant companion, she stayed with me wherever I go! Before the reception she also helped me with my veil, she didn’t want to take it off coz nawawala daw yung pagiging bride hehehe so they just folded it in half and clipped it below my bun.
Working with Madge and A was so much fun. They are really a great team!
Band: Sentimental Groove

Rating: 10
Sentimental Groove was without doubt the best band ever! I love how they never get tired of singing!
I booked Sentimental Groove mainly because they are very versatile, really value for money. They are a choir at the church, quartet during reception and a band after reception. They are really an all-in-one band!
What’s great about them is that all of their band members sing and almost everyone plays not only one instrument but two instruments. They are a very talented group. Their repertoire includes jazz and bossa nova which both I and hubby really like. During the reception, our guests loved them; everyone just kept clapping every time they finish a set. I love their rendition of When I fall in Love – which was our first dance. I was teary-eyed while dancing to this song coz it just says everything I wanted to say. I also liked their rendition of Fly me to the Moon and Hear, There and Everywhere.
I never really had a problem dealing with them. I was talking with Kate and she is always accommodating, reminding me of things I still need to submit like list of songs and reception program. There was just one miscommunication on the instruments included in the package but as soon as I brought it up with Kate they agreed to include both violin and flute in my package. The night of my wedding Kate even texted me and confirming my bridal march song.
Bridal Preps: Manila Peninsula

I got Manila Pen’s Pen Membership Club to take advantage of its free coupons and dining privileges. Plus I also wanted to have someone I can call in case I encounter any problem on the day.
I got a total of 1 room on Friday and 3 rooms on Saturday. I checked in Friday afternoon on a Superior room and requested an early check-in next day for a junior suite. I encountered a small problem transferring to the junior suite morning of Saturday since the person at the reception was telling me that that next room would only be available at 12noon! I mean come on! I called the Pen Club office and they gladly helped me sort it out. By 10am I was already able to transfer to the new room in time for the first supplier’s (Madge) call time at 10:30.
Manila Peninsula has always been a favorite hotel. It’s very majestic but the personal touch is always there. Was actually choosing between Makati Shang and Pen but in the end I still chose Pen because I feel totally at ease with this hotel and I have not experienced anything bad in all the times I stayed there. The staff is always very courteous and friendly. Our room, a one-bedroom junior suite is big enough for the 20 suppliers who were in my room that day, plus my family. The bedroom adds more privacy to me since all my suppliers are in the receiving area while my gown is inside the room. It also had two bathrooms, one outside which our suppliers were able to use and the other one inside the room which my family used.

I loooove our rings! I just sooo loooove our rings! I was raving and raving about our rings to all my friends as soon as I got them around 3 weeks before the wedding. I just showed them a copy of the inspiration pics and they executed it beautifully!
Just one problem though, the ring didn’t fit my finger! When they got my measurements I was supposed to be a 4 on my left hand. But when the ring came, it was too small so they had it resized. When it came back again it was just right on my left hand but still too small on my right. They told me that its ok since you would usually wear your wedding ring on your left hand but alas! the priest asked us to slip the ring on our right hands! Hehehe!
That’s still ok; I’ll just have it resized again!

For those who read my blog, you would know that one of things that I got really OC about was the invitations. It underwent an evolution of sort starting from a simple DIY card, to calligraphy, to pop-up and finally to a simple while card stock with a picture of a couple. I saw this inspiration pin in one of the magazines I bought and just showed it to Shirley Uy of Unifair. They recreated the pic perfectly. We then supplied them of the wordings we adopted from another invitation we saw at Wedding Essentials magazine and voila! We have our invitation. It took them less than two weeks to print all 100 set we ordered. What’s great about them is that they price very reasonably.

So much thought went into the choice of photographer. As early as Feb2004 we were already scouting for photographers. We saw so many albums during bridal fairs. Honestly Emil was not our first choice. We initially wanted to get Ariel Javelosa coz we both love his album lay-out. But he was already out of our budget so we looked again, that’s when Emil caught our eye. He has I think around 20 years of photography experience but his work is still up to date. He uses three dimensional lightning which supposedly brings pictures more color and life. We also love his coffee table album because of it is very compact and light weight. I also like the free guest book and souvenier cards with our pre-nup pics.
On the day he had so much energy! He was jumping around; he was literally everywhere looking for those beautiful angles. He doesn’t mind going down his knees, or going into difficult positions just to get those shots. His energy is invigorating, even after the reception when hubby and I were just fooling around with friends he was still taking pictures!

Kix delivered more than what I have expected! I love his shots! He arrived at the hotel earlier than his call time and as soon as he came he was taking pictures like crazy! He has a very light personality that I felt instantly at ease with him. Like Mang Emil, Kix has an eye for great angles and beautiful shots. He had been very professional from the start I contacted him. I met him only once when I paid my downpayment, I told him everything I wanted that time, the shots I want him to take and the things I want him to focus on. I wasn’t able to talk to him again even before the wedding because of the things I still need to take care of but during the wedding, he still was able to get all the shots I asked him.

We met Threelogy June/July of 2004, during this time they were still starting. I remember they only showed me only one video, and it hasn’t even been finished yet, it’s the video of another W@Wie, Cat Guadana, she was their first client. My hubby, perfectionist that he is, was not impressed since they were only starting that time; he thinks that they lacked the experience we are looking for. I, on the other hand was also not 100% convinced that they can deliver, pardon the cliché but they really had not proven anything yet. That’s why during the Sep2004 wedding expo, I agreed to get Emil Buencamino to cover both photo and video. But I was also not very convinced with Emil’s video, I thought it lacked the personality I was looking for, so we just agreed we will just try to influence them as much as we can so that the final video would look and feel like us.
December of 2004, clients of Threelogy started pouring in; I would see supplier ratings of fellow w@wies raving about them. My heart is crushed every time I see satisfied clients coz I really wanted to get them too. I talked with Emil about the possibility of cancelling our Video but he said we cannot do it anymore coz we got his full package (did I tell you I don’t like packages!). I was even considering the idea of a 4 man video team, 2 from Emil and 2 from Threelogy, but I knew that would be chaos! Until May came, I called Emil again and asked if we can cancel the video. Alas, Marie told me that it has been noted in our paper that our video has been cancelled! I would have been furious given that they didn’t tell me about this, imagine I would have had a wedding without videographers if I did not call them! But I was more than happy to hear her say that coz I really want to get Threelogy. I texted Bong immediately asking if he is still free for a Sep. 17 wedding and they are! (I was texting Bong once in a while trying to monitor if they have bookings already for Sep 17, good thing his answer is always none). The next is history as they say!
Threelogy delivered way above my expectations! I got their 25k package, during that time they didn’t have an on-site video yet, but Bong was telling me that he would be having it very soon. By around July he texted me that they already had on-site video editing and that it can be switched with the free AVP, I was very happy! I told him I would switch it. But while browsing Jason Magbanua’s site, i saw the on-site of Gia and Raffy (Gia is the sis of Claudine Barretto). I like it because it’s not the typical on-site where they show bridal preps to church ceremony, it also included interviews of the couple and pictures too. I called Bong and told him about it and I got very positive feedback from him that he can do it though they have not done it before! What a spirit! So we scheduled the shoot one day for the interview and submitted some pre-nup pics. When we saw the final output during the reception we were so happy! It was fantastic, just the way I wanted it to be! Simple but with true emotions!
You can view a copy of our on-site
hereOne drawback though I saw on getting an on-site is that you lose Bong during the reception as he is editing the on-site. I’m pretty sure Johnson and CJ can cover for him but I feel that he is quite a loss to the team. I maybe wrong, I hope I am, I would see in the final video.

What more can I say about Alex Franco, but delicious cake! I got his five layer cake in different flavours, only the first two layers were eaten though (since I have just around 120 guests) but everyone liked it! My entourage who were sleeping at the Pen that night even went again to my room to eat more cake!
Alex is also very easy to work with. We met with him only once around April this year, he was very humble and very soft spoken. Everything we talked about was carried out perfectly. I not only love how the cake looked but more than anything love how it tasted! Super yummy!
Bridal Car: Adeb

This is one of the things at the bottom of my priority list. I would have just gotten a Nissan Cefiro if not for my hubby who wanted it at least to be an MB. So we got an MBS320 from Adeb. I was surprised on the day when and MB stretch limo came! They came early at around 2pm, when the call time was at 3pm. The driver told me they usually come around one hour earlier than the call time so as to give lead time to anything that will come up, say heavy traffic, etc.
The car itself was very well kept, very clean. I did not encounter any problem with them when I booked them, I just called their office and asked if they still have an MB available on my date and they said yes. After that I just deposited 50% on their account and then they sent me the completed contract for my signature. I signed it and faxed it again and then that’s it! Very easy!

Abi was an ex-W@Wie and a blogmate. I would usually visit her blog every morning just to read about her wedding preps, during that time I was still in my early stages of my preparations. As soon as I heard that she does hostings, I immediately texted her asking if she can host my wedding. I met her only once (we were blogmates but we never really met before), about a week before the wedding to talk about the program. She did a great job! She was able to keep the guests attention to the program. She speaks clearly and very professional.

Lincoln works very fast. I gave him around 100 envelopes Thursday night and it was already available for pick-up Friday afternoon. He writes very beautiful script and very legibly. He is also very sincere and very soft spoken.
Missalet: DIY
Labor of love, I just used the templates on the w@w archives and had it printed at Copycenter.
Toasting Flutes: Landmark
Glass Etching: Made for U, Glorietta 4
I wanted to have personalized toasting flutes so I bought a four piece champagne glass at Landmark around two months before the wedding. Then I went to Made for U at Glorietta 4 to have our names and date of wedding etched on the glass. It was perfectly done and I love the additional bells I put on top of our names. Costs very reasonable too, it costed me only around Php300 for the etching.
Lala just put some flowers on the lower portion of the flutes and voila! It was perfect!
That's it. I hope this helped a bit those fellow brides and grooms who are still preparing for their wedding.
Wedding kwento to follow soon!
