I finally booked "Your Events Coordination" as my on-the-day wedding coordinator. I've been eying them since I attended a bridal fair that was held in Trinoma several months ago. They are actually new in this business but they already booked several weddings. I decided to booked and paid the down payment through bank. Their head coordinator is Hencel. She was once a bride too and I guess she knows a lot of things about weddings and I'm looking forward to work with them. Anyways here's a quick update on my wedding suppliers.
Here are the list of my contracted wedding suppliers:
This is just a quick post. I still have 7 months to prepare for my wedding , 218 days to be exact as of today. So far I already booked 5 major suppliers hehehe... I'm so excited and active in preparing for my wedding. I'm the kind of person who hates cramming and doing things in the last minutes. I want everything to be organized. I know that there's no such thing as a perfect wedding but as much as possible I want it to be at least near to perfect. Another thing is that we are considering our budget, it's very important to know your budget and how much you are willing to spend for your wedding.. Early preparation can also gives you an opportunity to get a lot of discounts and freebies. Also by doing this you can get to avail their old prices , as we know prices goes up every year, so if you booked their product or service this year and they will increase their price for the next year, you will still pay their old price. Is'nt it a smart move?!?!? Yes it is!
Here are the list of my contracted wedding suppliers:
Food Tasting is an event covered by caterers where in soon-to-wed couples are invited to try their dishes and to see their set-up and packages for your special event. Food tasting are often free but couple should register first because it's usually a reserved seat and an AE (Account Executive ) will assist you and explain about the packages that they offer.
When we had our first ever food tasting with Lina Vitan Catering, it wasn't really a scheduled appointment. We actually went to Oasis to pay and reserve for our wedding venue which will also take place in Oasis Pavillion. Fortunately, there was a food tasting event when we went there and our AE told us that we can attend the food tasting since it's for free. So I was like why not anyway it was Sunday and we don't have any plans on that day.
So we went to the event where in, we saw their wedding set-up and it was really nice. A Lina Vitan AE came to us and discussed their packages. Their packages includes, bridal, car, wedding cake, bubble machine, fresh flowers for the set up and she also offered me a lot of freebies. We also tried their dishes, I thought that we only get to eat a small amount for every dish but it's actually like attending a real wedding and it was a buffet set-up meal. Unfortunately we just had our lunch before we went there but we don't want to miss the opportunity (free food hehehe!)
By the way after a lot of discussion with my fiance and comparison with other caterers we decided to booked Lina Vitan Catering for our wedding. Our AE is Ryan. He is also the Head marketing manager of Lina Vitan. He also gave us a lot freebies and he's nice and easy to talk with.
Here are some of our pictures taken in Lina Vitan Catering food tasting trip:
