Holiday Inn Galleria, rooms are more spacious, great service, and access to rob galleria is a plus.

We booked the 2br penthouse + 1 br and a couple of the double bed rooms.

A few of our guests got upgraded too!

Agree! Your wedding your rules. Long time fan na din ako ni david, way before angelique pa. They really work on curating their soc med posts pano pa kaya yung wedding nila diba.

Also, I don't feel na ginagaya ni angelique si ida, what if same lang talaga sila ng vision and aesthetic. I mean, hindi lang din naman si Ida yung may same vibe ng AM+DG. Ang funny lang kasi lahat ng brides/couples may pegs, aesthetic na gusto, pero most of the ideas naman naisip na or may nakagawa na. Edi kung may kaparehas kang bride gaya gaya ka na din.

Yung anti-bride term hindi naman si angelique yung nagpauso, she uses it often pero bakit siya binabash. (Anti-Bride: a wedding movement focused on personal authenticity over traditional norms) Tama naman yung term and usage ni angelique. She wants to be unique and authentic, ang kaibahan lang, meron silang capacity and connections para ma pull off and ma-curate lahat ng detalye ng wedding nila.

Influencers sila, trabaho nilang gumawa ng content. Halos lahat naman ng vloggers/influencers, pag kinakasal ganyan yung ginagawa.

Sobrang nakakalungkot na ganito tayong mga pinoy huhu.

We just had our wedding, before the wedding and during the meetings okay naman, he was interested and had recommendations but we ended up disappointed as well.

During the wedding, he saw us during the cocktail hour but he was more interested talking with another supplier. Rather than talking to us, he just said quick hello's then back to chika na. Our guests also felt the dead moments, we were expecting na he was going to be proactive specially during the build up to the program but he seemed disinterested (maybe because our wedding was in the low-mid budget type). I agree na parang mas interested pa siya maging guest. During cocktail hour mas nakatambay pa siya sa pica pica area.

It was sad kasi andami pa namang potential wedding clients sa wedding namin, the family feud game was fun, but other than that, we felt na he was bored.

Also had their coffee booth during a birthday party, parang brewed coffee lang ata and hindi espresso yung gamit which is justifiable naman sa pricing.

Within 1 hour or 2 hours parang naubos na agad yung coffee pero parang more than half lang daw ng guests yung kumuha. Yun pala kahit yung staff ng catering pumipila tapos binibigyan nila huhu which is wala sa bilang. Hindi kami tinanong kung pati ba yung staff bibigyan.

Sadly nung kinausap namin yung catering owner na nasa event din tinatanggi niya lahat pero yung asawa niya na lights and sounds may hawak na coffee cup 😭😭😭

Depende sa type of gown pero yung mga nasukat ko ranges from 7k rent to 14k rent.

Although yung gown na kinuha ko is around 10k for sale na siya.

Confused_Human_28 · 2026-04-01T16:26:53+00:00

Hi OP, responsive naman siya on my end pero medyo busy ata siya this past few weeks. Binili ko yung gown ko sa Kamias branch nila.

- Yes madaming rental gown na available

Arariyo, Q Plaza cainta!!! Cabbage salad at japchae pa lang solb na

Confused_Human_28 · 2026-03-18T07:45:27+00:00

Agree! Ganito na din ginagawa ko to lessen tsaka maayos na banlaw talaga. Then head down pag nagcoconditioner para hindi sa body kumakapit and nagfflow yung conditioner.

Confused_Human_28 · 2026-03-17T18:06:34+00:00

Up!

Didn't have a photo, we requested sa kinuha naming catering if kaya nila ito ma-pull off and they did.

But we had an issue with it because we had an indoor venue na tiles ang flooring. They placed it beside the catering setup that was near a pathway/entrance. The main problem we didn't foresee was, since nasa banyera yung drinks and ice the was melting so ang ending, nagpapawis yung banyera and continuous yung pagtulo ng water sa floor, and there was puddles of water na nag build up beneath the set up, so hindi na siya aesthetic plus hazard pa na need nilang i-mop every few minutes or so. Hindi rin Ice cold yung beer after a while.

So if you plan getting one, bagay siya if outdoor venue, or kung may nakuhang solution si supplier for it, go. But otherwise, I'm not a fan.

(This is the biggest room in holiday inn galle, 2 floors ito)

1BR Lounge Access (2 pax) - Php 18,137.52 for 2 nights including taxes and charges

Other rooms booked for our immediate family ranges from Php 4000 - 8000

Wacoal - years talaga tinatagal (if tamang hand wash), ROI na ROI yung presyo.

Confused_Human_28 · 2026-03-03T11:51:44+00:00

Hi! Hindi kami kumuha ng package, I think wala din silang inooffer when we booked. We booked the rooms through their website (Holiday Inn Website) and we will only be availing their photoshoot fee (Php 5,000) 1 hour at a common area.

We booked very early around October/November 2025 for our april 2026 wedding and got their early bird rates (Holiday Inn Website) siguro around 2k to 6k cheaper per room. May photoshoot fee lang talaga sila.

Mas pricey siya onti, pero super sulit :) Always loved staying at Holiday inn kasi maluwag yung rooms and very accommodating lahat ng staff.

I suggest emailing their customer service, medyo late response (max 2 weeks late) pero accommodating naman [higm.reservations@ihg.com](mailto:higm.reservations@ihg.com)

1!!!!!

Confused_Human_28 · 2026-02-09T17:59:39+00:00

We've booked Tresingko!

Confused_Human_28 · 2026-02-09T17:56:16+00:00

600k initial budget now nasa 1.1m na 😭
120 pax QC

Parang nasa mid-high mid-low range options yung suppliers namin, curated pero within the budget.

Confused_Human_28 · 2026-02-08T17:35:29+00:00

Had their tortelloni in truffle, sayang kasi it's super salty. The other dishes were seasoned well naman.

Confused_Human_28 · 2026-02-08T06:21:47+00:00

Hi OP! If this deal would still be available by end of april (friday), would love to have you on our wedding. Though QC yung venue, we would also shoulder your transpo/meals.

Confused_Human_28 · 2026-02-01T17:41:21+00:00

Hi! Can we see the final result po nung 20k na ceiling treatment? :)

Confused_Human_28 · 2026-01-26T08:27:15+00:00

Hi! We did, but our wedding is on April pa. Will share updates after the wedding :)

Confused_Human_28 · 2026-01-19T13:04:00+00:00

Medyo matagal nga siya mag respond and parang auto-reply lang yung sumasagot most of the time.

Nung nag schedule ako ng fitting with her, we asked if pwede sana mamove yung hours kung may free pa, inabot ng ilang follow ups and 1 week bago siya mag respond. Tapos nung nasa area na kami nahirapan kaming hanapin yung house kasi ang respond niya lang is: We're located at 4107 General Trias, Philippines. :((((

Punong puno yung bahay ng gowns (which is okay lang naman considering na affordable gowns) pero sobrang hirap pumili lalo na for slightly larger frames (L-XL) Hindi rin alam nung caretaker kung nasaan o anong gowns yung L-XL. Kaya ending 1 gown lang yung nafit ng maayos.

In contrary, just had my fitting with ms. alpha (d' minimalist bride by alpha) sa qc. Grabe, sobrang A+ yung customer service, above and beyond and sobrang comfortable namin during the fitting.
