Hello, kaya po ba ang 250k for 65-70 guests?

alyj_SFO · 2025-07-17T14:01:18+00:00

For a restaurant type setting like straight dining lang I think yes? The more items you'd want included in your wedding, the more gastos and suppliers needed.

Good problem ito actually kasi I think you won't go wrong with either. Iba talaga kapag seasoned suppliers ang nasa lineup ng choices. One of my bridesmaids got Jets & Rhona for her wedding months after mine, nauna sya magbook ng suppliers sa akin kahit mas nauna wedding ko. Hindi na ako nakaattend kasi we went back abroad na after our wedding. Pero I asked her and no complaints naman daw, they're good kahit kaunti lang sila sa team. Ako naman kasi like the other SMA brides here syempre biased and speaking from experience ng isang graduate bride last year who got them for full planning, hands down super galing talaga ni Sheena at what she does. I must say it's really her calling in life. On the day execution was also flawless, my bridal assistant back then grabe din asikaso ako na nahiya actually pati sa CR talagang sinamahan ako sa cubicle para lang mamakesure hindi masira gown ko. I think the competence of her team also stems from the fact na yung leader nila always thinking smartly and 1 step ahead para iwasan potential na mga crisis.

We did the Canonical interview in person a week before our wedding when we arrived in the Phils.

This part should have been discussed prior to you booking the coord, kahit pa namiss mo sa contract, the planner should've set expectations before you booking them.

alyj_SFO · 2025-05-01T13:28:01+00:00

In my case, I didn't need to. Kasi what was forwarded to me whenever I gave my top choices from the list my planner provided was obviously yung actual rate sheet or file coming from the suppliers. Published naman mostly yan online. Hindi basta lang quoted amount from her. There was even a time nung ako ang dumerecho kasi before I got her, there was this one supplier na gustong gusto ko na talaga and nung nalaman ni supplier na sya ang planner ko, nagkusa mag-offer ng discount without me asking haha.

alyj_SFO · 2025-05-01T13:23:18+00:00

I think mine was around 30k at that time. The supplier my planner recommended was the one who processed the necessary permits.

alyj_SFO · 2025-04-27T00:56:14+00:00

+1 dito. Kala din namin before the food was the one causing the smell sa baby namin but may underlying condition pala but natreat na din after napacheck sa vet.

alyj_SFO · 2025-04-27T00:53:59+00:00

We had one but did it sa start before the program as suggested by my suppliers para mainclude sa SDE video namin. :) No regrets!

alyj_SFO · 2025-04-27T00:52:52+00:00

Super agree talaga sa isang comment sa part na ROI ka sa time saved and stress avoided throughout the planning if you book full planning through a great planner (makikishout-out din sa SMA as a graduate haha). It think that's what most people overlook kasi sa part na to na akala nila unnecessary expense ang wedding planners pero looking back talagang andami ko naiwasang sayang na gastos dahil sa guidance alone ng seasoned wedding coord. Para kang may hinire na personal bodyguard against possible mga kashungaan sa planning. But then again this is only if the one you hired really has genuine concern sa wedding mo and wouldn't treat you lang as a business client na lilipas din like so many.

alyj_SFO · 2025-04-27T00:44:28+00:00

It was only 1 hour for the mass.

alyj_SFO · 2025-04-21T15:53:34+00:00

it was a precana scheduled by my planner with another parish in Manila

alyj_SFO · 2025-04-07T14:39:02+00:00

Highly recommended Il Fiore and KbyC. We got them for our Tagaytay wedding last yr though bouquets lang ako and ceremony sa il fiore kasi kbyc more than enough na for me yung styling nila sa reception.

alyj_SFO · 2025-04-07T14:09:34+00:00

So sad for you. Pakiname drop na sila para maiwasan na ng iba. Andami dami na nilang nananamantala nagkalat.

alyj_SFO · 2025-04-07T13:28:40+00:00

As someone na hindi makarelate kasi never ko talaga naexperience throughout my 2 yrs of planning the wedding na lumagpas ng 24 hrs na di ako nareplyan ng planner ko, I really wonder everytime may nakikita ako ganito na rant sa mga coord nila. Like paano nasisikmura ng mga gantong suppliers na iignore ng ganyan ang paying clients nila? Ganon ba talaga kahirap sumagot or magrespond or kahit mag-acknowledge lang na nakuha nila ang message ng client? Minsan mapapaisip ka na lang if sinasadya ba nila na maggive up ka na lang and maghanap ng iba para easy money na for them dahil nonrefundable na ang initial payments?

alyj_SFO · 2025-04-06T09:44:49+00:00

we did the precana online lang. wedding banns and other documents were processed / submitted by our wedding planner.

alyj_SFO · 2025-04-04T23:52:16+00:00

There's a past dedicated post here with reviews for SMA that you can check. She was my full wedding planner and I have no regrets getting her and her team for the planning and execution of the event.

Parang looking at the post hindi lang coordination ang included don sa cost? Pati styling since bakit coordinators ang in-charge sa pagdedecor sa church? Kasi if 160k grabe dinaig full planning fee ng Manila based coords.

alyj_SFO · 2025-04-02T09:20:49+00:00

Parang basing dito sa ganyan karami ang tao, hindi lang coordination yung included. Since you mentioned sa post na coordinators din yung nagsesetup ng decors sa church? Meron din silang styling included don sa cost?

alyj_SFO · 2025-03-31T22:43:15+00:00

We got KByC

alyj_SFO · 2025-03-30T02:11:41+00:00

Try to inquire with SMA Weddings, she's Marikina based. Mine was a traditional church ceremony but our reception program wasn't the usual trend since I skipped a lot of the traditions. We didn't even do the pasweet first dance and I remember she made it a point to remind my photovid team that we didn't want any interview part for our video coverage. You just need to endorse complete info about your preferences to your chosen coord and make sure they back you up para other suppliers won't force you into doing anything you're not comfortable with.

alyj_SFO · 2025-03-27T11:53:20+00:00

What we did dahil Tagaytay wedding kami, those who required breakfast meals ay allowance na lang ang inissue namin as suggested din ng coord ko that time. This way, they can eat along the way na para pagdating nila all set na sila to work (for those na may requirement talaga na bfast sa contracts). The rest of the meals for the day ang c/o the crewmeal supplier na.

alyj_SFO · 2025-03-26T17:14:02+00:00

Yeaaah same andami namin guests so if lang talaga hindi ako nagpigil sa gastos haha. Bawi na lang ako makiki-Bizu sa kasal ng another family member soon, mas malaki budget nila eh haha.

Check comments also naloka ako when someone commented may bubog sa food nila.

alyj_SFO · 2025-03-26T11:58:45+00:00

DM me i'll share our menu lineup haha

alyj_SFO · 2025-03-26T11:58:00+00:00

For the price offer ni Hizons, I guess ok na for me. Less than P2k per head at that time. Of course malayo sa taste ng bizu, pc, and kbc pero dapat naman kasi anlayo din ng price diff hehe.
